What does Y Le Parfum (2021) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most often. It reads mainly as masculine and modern.

The top opens fresh and lightly spicy with aldehydes, grapefruit, ginger and apple. Geranium absolute, sage and lavender lead the heart, and the base adds sweetness from tonka bean with patchouli and cedarwood underneath. Yves Saint Laurent Y (Eau de Parfum) and Yves Saint Laurent Y (2017) (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
