Y Eau de Parfum Intense

Cool citrus and spicy juniper lead into a clean aromatic heart, then a dark woody base that feels confident, dry, and magnetic. Best suited to evening wear, cooler weather, and occasions where a polished, assertive presence is desired.

Scent Development and Character

This version opens with brisk bergamot, ginger, and juniper berries, giving a cool, sparkling lift with a spicy edge. The heart turns clean and aromatic through lavender, clary sage, and geranium, then settles into a dry, dark woody trail of cedar, patchouli, and vetiver.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to evening wear, cooler weather, and occasions where a polished, assertive presence is desired. It reads as modern and energetic rather than heavy. Best in autumn and winter, with some use on cool evenings in spring. Sillage is Moderate-to-strong sillage with a noticeable but not overpowering trail. Longevity is Strong longevity, typically around 7-8 hours on skin.
