Yves Saint Laurent runs one of the strongest fragrance catalogs in all of designer perfumery. It holds three franchise dynasties in Y, MYSLF, and Libre, a seduction classic that never goes out of style, and the perfume that defined a decade of nights out. That depth means real choices, so here is the catalog ranked, with every bottle at its live best price across the retailers we track.
The Dynasties, Ranked
The current flagship is the MYSLF line, a woody-floral modern signature in ascending intensity: the EDP, the warmer Le Parfum, and the vanilla-rich L'Absolu that tops our click charts. The Y line is the proven workhorse. The apple-vetiver polish of Y EDP remains one of the most versatile bottles in designer fragrance, and Y Le Parfum deepens it for cool weather. On the women's side, the lavender and orange-blossom signature of Libre and the cozier Libre Intense carry the modern era, while the coffee-vanilla of Black Opium remains the night-out institution. Two cult picks round it out: the eternal date-night king La Nuit de L'Homme and the spiced-violet luxury of Tuxedo.
YSL street prices sit comfortably below counter prices across the whole catalog, and the franchise bottles especially trade with healthy spreads between discounters. Our guide to how pricing works explains why. Live comparisons are on every card below.
