La Collection Y

A very special and exquisite perfume. Y is a true legacy and heritage, not only of YSL, but of the past, the ideas, the moods and emotions. Y is an emotive perfume, it speaks. It is way more than a sum of its parts. A very distant relative to Mitsouko Guerlain and Chanel No 19. Y starts with a clear statement of it being an evening scent or a day time scent for a strong personality. It is vivid, somewhat green, bright and joyful. It smells like a morning. Soon after, I will repeat the reviewer below because I cannot describe it better - there comes iris, and gives Y its signature intellectual character. It becomes a cold afternoon. After around half an hour or an hour, Y warms up, becomes velvety, intriguing, subtle yet remains its strong and intellectual character. It is evening. I have never smelled the vintage Y, but I am in love with this precious La Collection creation. Y is personal, exquisite and oh so unique! Thanks a million times to the kind member of Fragrantica who gifted me this beauty.

I bought this version by mistake, because the web page I bought it from presented the old bottle but sent me this one. First I was angry, that they cheated me, but when I tried it I decided that I love it. I must say I haven ́t tried the original version, but if it is so much better than this it must be wonderful, because this is beautiful too. I am sorry for those who can ́t see its beauty because of the comparison with the original. I must say this is really my cup of tea. I don ́t regret this mistake. It is classy maybe in a different way than the original, but very elegant. You need to give it a chance. Now I have to add that I bought the original version and compared them and still love it, they are very similar so I don ́t understand these comments about big difference and disappointment from the new version.

دار سان لوران لم تصنع عطورها القديمة عبثاً ولا بداعي التجارة ..!! لم تنتج عطراً عادياً .. فكل عطر ولد في هذي الدار كان عظيماً و استثنائياً .. دارةٌ لا تلد الا الاساطير الذين يحدثون الثورات .. لذلك كانت ولا زالت عطورها القديمة مصدر الهام و مراجع لكل حديثي العهد .. هي الرائدة السابقة لعصرها سنوات وسنوات حتى يومنا هذا ..!! .. عطر واي المرأة الكلاسيكية .. امرأة ناضجة .. وحنونة لازالت تحتفظ بقدرٍ كبير من جمالها رغم تقدمها بالعمر ..!! لازالت تلفت الانظار ولا زالت مطمع العشاق .. رائحة صابونية خضران متوازنة بجرعة حمضية خفيفة مع طيب الزباد الواضح فيه .. طيبٌ يشبه جمال طيب الزباد في عطر قولد النسائي من دار امواج .. عطرٌ لا عجب انه معنا حتى الآن .. تقييمي الشخصي للعطر ٩/١٠

This scent reminds me of my grandmother. We were solidly middle class, but this was the aspirational, elegant, limestone lobby scent. Even though it smells classic and classy, it doesn’t smell dated. It smells silky / creamy, almost buttery to me which is probably the oakmoss / patchouli. It is intoxicating. I agree with a reviewer below that it makes you miss it even when it’s on your skin.

Wonderfull! Realy smells like the old Y imo but much stronger.I realy LOVE it!
