Yves Saint Laurent Y Iced Cologne EDT

Description

Yves Saint Laurent Y Iced Cologne (2025) is an aromatic fougère intense built around Dominique Ropion's icy reworking of the original Y DNA. Frosted mint and a literal "ice" accord open the fragrance with a sharp, cooling snap, moving into mint tea and blue sage before settling on a warm patchouli-ambroxan base. The kind of skin-warming finish that keeps an icy top note from ever feeling thin.

Scent Character

• Fresh: 75%
• Woody / Amber: 25%

Translation: a cooling, minty-fresh cologne over a warm, skin-hugging woody-amber base, refreshing on first spray, grounded by the time it dries down.

FAQ

Is Y Iced Cologne for men or women?
It's a men's fragrance, part of YSL's Y line.

How long does it last?
Expect 4 to 6 hours: typical for an EDT-strength cologne, with a close, moderate sillage.

How does it compare to the original Y Eau de Toilette?
Y Iced Cologne swaps the original's apple-ginger opening for a literal frozen-mint accord, then leans on the same patchouli-ambroxan base family the Y line is known for: a cooler, sharper sibling rather than a direct replacement.

Why does my 1mL sample come in a 2mL vial?
All 1mL samples ship in a 2mL vial filled halfway. This is standard practice that protects the fragrance and prevents evaporation during shipping.
