YZY
Ye's accessible, refillable fragrance for everyday wear.
YZY is an American fragrance brand launched in 2023 under the direction of Kanye West, also known as Ye. The brand debuted as part of West's broader YZY consumer goods initiative, positioned as an accessible, direct-to-consumer alternative to mainstream designer fragrance. The launch generated significant media coverage given West's cultural prominence, though the fragrance line itself aims for mass accessibility — selling refillable, unisex bottle formats at accessible price points through the YZY website and selective retailers. The compositions are broadly commercial, designed for wide demographic appeal rather than olfactory complexity. YZY Fragrance entered a crowded celebrity fragrance market but distinguished itself through the iconoclastic branding conventions West employs across his other ventures — stark, minimal visual identity and provocative naming. The brand's long-term trajectory in the fragrance market remains uncertain given both the volatility of celebrity brand extension projects and the complex public profile of its founder.

Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
