The juice of this fragrance is deep, fresh and masculine. Created by the legendary perfumer Dominique Ropion, Y Eau de Parfum is an intense white and dark fougère. A cool-hot masculine scent matching crisp radiance and addictive intensity captured in an already iconic perfume bottle. The bottle’s striking design reflects the fragrance’s edgy masculinity and contrast of darkness and light.
At the top of the scent is a zingy olfactive explosion brought by the fragrance notes of bergamot and ginger – the freshness is intensified by a fruity apple accord. Sitting beneath is a green breeze of sage and juniper combined with the menthol sportiness of Geranium essence, resulting in the best scent you could ask for in a perfume for men.The background of the scent affords Y Eau de Parfum its masculine strength, with the intensity of amber wood playing off against nots of olibanum and Tonka bean
