What does Y Le Parfum (2025) smell like?

Pine and Canadian fir balsam give it a resinous, forest-like frame, while patchouli adds an earthy depth and Moroccan geranium brings a green, lightly spicy coolness. Citrus and fresh accords keep it bright, a sweet accord softens the edges, and the woody side stays in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. It is worn across all four seasons, with autumn slightly ahead, and daily wear, leisure and business get the most votes. About half of voters read it as masculine, and a good number call it modern. Pino Silvestre Muschi di Bosco and Lacoste Lacoste Original (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
