Description

Essence & Concept
Y Eau de Parfum represents the modern, self‑accomplished man: someone who is bold, visionary, and unafraid to show his character. The scent plays on contrasts — light vs. shadow, fresh vs. warm — creating a fragrance that reads as clean and fresh at first, then gradually deepens into something more powerful and memorable.

Note Structure

  • Top notes: Bergamot, Ginger, Apple — these bring a bright, vibrant opening with a mix of crisp fruitiness and a spicy kick.

  • Heart (middle): Sage, Geranium, Juniper Berries — herbal, aromatic, slightly green; adds character and depth without losing freshness.

  • Base notes: Amberwood, Tonka Bean, Cedar, Vetiver, Olibanum — the woods and warm resins give the fragrance its staying power, smoothness, and a sensual dry‑down.

Evolution & Experience
At first spray, you’ll notice the freshness from citrus and apple, spiced a little by ginger. It feels electric and youthful. A few minutes in, herbal tones take over — sage and geranium add texture, a slightly green edge, while juniper berries bring a subtle sharpness. As it dries down, the woods, tonka bean, and amber notes anchor the perfume, softening the opening brightness and giving warmth and richness. It becomes smoother, more complex, and more sensual with time.

Longevity & Projection

  • Longevity: Good. It tends to last many hours on skin, sometimes upward of 6‑8 hours for many users.

  • Projection: Strong in the opening (first 1‑2 hours) thanks to the bright citrus and spice. Then it settles into a closer scent, more intimate but still noticeable.

Best Use / Occasions

  • Excellent for daytime wear: work, meetings, casual or smart casual settings.

  • Spring, summer, and moderate climates suit it well, but it also transitions decently into evening when you want something not too heavy.

  • Good for social settings, outings, or anytime you want clean confidence — not over the top but noticeable.

Character & Vibe
Y Eau de Parfum feels fresh yet grounded; sleek yet warm. It’s energetic in its beginnings, then more composed and polished. It gives the impression of someone who’s put together, forward‑looking, and comfortable in his skin. It’s youthful but not juvenile; elegant but not overly formal. A reliable go‑to when you want to leave a good impression without going full dramatic.
