Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau Fraîche — Type Formula
The Y silhouette flushed with cold water, all sparkling citrus, crushed herbs and clean wood.
This flanker dials the Y DNA toward pure freshness, splashing bergamot and grapefruit over the familiar sage-and-apple heart. Airy woods and transparent musks keep it weightless, like the original seen through frosted glass.
