A 100ml bottle of YSL's Y Eau de Toilette, a fresh woody fougère. Wearer accounts describe roughly six hours of longevity, an opening less sweet than the EDP, and a marine-ambery dry-down. Those reports cover the Y EDT line rather than this listing, so confirm size and concentration wording before ordering.

Pros
- · One wearer reports roughly six hours of longevity from Y Eau de Toilette.
- · The same account describes an invigorating opening that is less sweet than the EDP.
- · That wearer reports an ocean-like dry-down blending ambergris with cedar.
- · Catalog notes list bergamot, aldehyde and ginger at the top; violet leaf, sage and geranium in the heart; musk, ambergris, incense, fir and cedar at the base.
- · Listed as a 100ml bottle.
Cons
- · A reviewer of the Y line rates performance around 7 to 7.5 out of 10 — solid rather than exceptional.
- · The same reviewer calls the profile crowd-pleasing but not especially original.
Fit notes
One size is listed: 100ml, a full bottle rather than a travel spray. The catalog describes a Eau de Toilette concentration; the wearer report notes the opening is less sweet than the EDP.
Buy if
You want a fresh, marine-woody daily scent in a full 100ml bottle and are fine treating the six-hour longevity figure as one wearer's report rather than a measured result.
Skip if
You want a scent that stands apart — a Y-line reviewer calls it crowd-pleasing but not especially original — or you need more than two independent accounts before deciding.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
What does Y Eau de Toilette smell like?⌄
The catalog lists a woody fougère: bergamot, aldehyde and ginger up top, violet leaf, sage and geranium in the middle, and musk, ambergris, incense, fir and cedar at the base. One wearer describes the dry-down as ocean-like, blending ambergris with cedar.
How long does it last?⌄
One wearer reports about six hours of longevity. That is a single review of Y Eau de Toilette, not a tested result for this listing, so treat it as a reference point.
Is this the EDP or the EDT?⌄
The listing describes Eau de Toilette. The wearer account notes the opening is less sweet than the EDP version.
Does it come in other sizes?⌄
The catalog material describes only a 100ml bottle.
How does ordering work?⌄
The listing identifies itself as customs-auction supply for Tmall and JD global purchase, and orders route through shopping agents rather than a direct brand retail channel.
