Y IS YVES. Y IS THE QUESTION. Y IS YOU.

At its base, soft notes of balsam fir, cedarwood and marine ambergris embody the subtle power of a tailored black jacket that is refined, chic and surprisingly powerful. An authentic and bold creation; masculinity re-defined. Masculine, fresh, bold.(Source: yslbeautyus.com, Nov. 2019)
