YSL Y vs L’Homme: Comparing the Eau de Parfum in Kuwait

Last updated: 16 October 2026

The short answer: In the 100 ml size the price is the same: Y Eau de Parfum — 100 ml and Eau de Parfum L’Homme — 100 ml cost 57.800 KWD each, and only Y is also available in 60 ml, at 44.100 KWD. The difference is in the notes: Y brings together bergamot, ginger, sage, apple and vetiver, while L’Homme opens with bergamot and lemon and orange extracts, moves to geranium and lavender, and rests on a base of cedarwood, vetiver, oak wood and musk.

Y and L’Homme are two Saint Laurent lines, and each has an Eau de Parfum in our store. Since both product names give the same concentration, this article answers YSL Y vs L’Homme by comparing the Eau de Parfum of each line using what our product descriptions state: notes, sizes and prices, and it points out what the descriptions leave out.

What do the two have in common?

  • Concentration: Eau de Parfum for both, as the two product names state. Neither description gives an olfactory family.
  • Two shared notes: bergamot and vetiver appear in both descriptions.
  • The 100 ml price: Y Eau de Parfum — 100 ml and Eau de Parfum L’Homme — 100 ml cost 57.800 KWD each.
  • Category: both are listed in our store under both men and women.

Where do they differ?

The notes each one adds. Y adds three notes to bergamot and vetiver: ginger, sage and apple. L’Homme adds lemon and orange extracts at the top, geranium and lavender in the middle, and cedarwood, oak wood and musk at the base.

How they are described. The L’Homme description sorts its notes into three layers: top, middle and base. The Y description lists five notes in no order, so it cannot tell which of them sit at the top and which at the base. In number: five notes in the Y description, nine in the L’Homme description.

Sizes. Y Eau de Parfum comes in two sizes, 60 ml and 100 ml, and L’Homme Eau de Parfum in 100 ml only. The smaller bottle is therefore available in Y alone: Y Eau de Parfum — 60 ml at 44.100 KWD.

Which line suits whom?

  • Y Eau de Parfum suits those who prefer ginger, sage and apple with bergamot and vetiver, and those who want to start with a 60 ml bottle.
  • L’Homme Eau de Parfum suits those who prefer an opening of bergamot, lemon and orange, a heart of geranium and lavender, and a woody base of cedar and oak with musk and vetiver.
  • For comparing the two lines in Eau de Toilette, the price is again the same: Eau de Toilette Y for men — 100 ml and L’Homme eau de toilette — 100 ml cost 51.400 KWD each. The L’Homme Eau de Toilette description lists bergamot, ginger and vetiver, three of the five notes of Y Eau de Parfum.

As of 16 October 2026, our store has five Y fragrances and three L’Homme fragrances, plus La Nuit de L’Homme Eau de Toilette. Here they all are, with concentration and notes as their descriptions state them, and their regular prices:

Both lines have a second Eau de Parfum option: Eau de Parfum Y Intense in the Y line, and L’Homme Le Parfum Eau de Parfum, which its name calls an Eau de Parfum, in the L’Homme line. The descriptions of Y Le Parfum and Y L’Elixir state that perfumer Dominique Ropion created them, and the Y L’Elixir description calls it the highest concentration in the Y line. The Y Eau de Toilette description in our store lists no notes, which is why its notes cell in the table is left empty.
