Y Live by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumers Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent. This fragrance opens with the vibrant freshness of orange blossom, leading into a heart note of ginger and bergamot that adds a spicy kick to its aromatic profile. The base notes of juniper and sage ground it in herbal warmth, creating a composition that is both invigorating and earthy. Y Live embodies the modern edge and sophistication for which Yves Saint Laurent is renowned.
