The story behind the bottle.
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.
Apply Y Live to pulse points for an invigorating start. The citrus and spicy notes are most noticeable in the first hour, so allow it to settle before heading out. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its fresh and spicy character can shine.
