It keeps the geranium and woods of the EDP, but swaps the green tart apple and sage for sweet blueberries, lavender, and patchouli. The EDP Intense seems to have a quite different scent, more mature (25-35) and charming than the base EDP, which feels a bit overexposed and geared toward a younger crowd (15-25). The worst part is that prices have gone up this year, but like everything else. A blue fragrance that can be worn all year round under any circumstances, highly recommended.
Fresh and very masculine, I get a hint of chili.
This perfume has the same combination of notes as its previous flankers, but with a notable difference in its assembly. Here, vetiver and an earthy patchouli stand out a bit more; in previous versions, they were in the background, but now they’re in the dry-down. It seems the guys at YSL told Mr. Ropion: “We have the same notes as the previous versions, we need more money, flip the notes and create a Y that’s a bit more mature with a tint slightly different from the others.” A fragrance that brings a bit of difference compared to its older versions, giving it a more elegant touch and making it suitable for suits. Longevity +7, rating 7.5/10.
The same Y EDP but slightly more “refined.” It almost seems more like an EDT than an EDP Intense. Extremely overpriced for what it offers. Muted, more serious, and a bit less strident. Fortunately, I’m not a fan of the line. Nice bottle, that’s about it. Nothing here that interests me.
Y EDP Intense is undeniably very similar to its predecessors, just a bit less fresh and semi-sweet. Yes! It remains a blue fragrance with a shower gel vibe, but with more ginger and reduced lavender. Although it might be redundant if you already own the others, it’s worth noting that this is the most solemn and mature version of the entire line (good news for some). I do notice the performance is below the EDP, but it’s still highly versatile for any occasion, weather, or setting. Final note: the EDP remains unbeatable! Rating: 🥈
Completely dispensable flanker, like the WHY line in general.
A blend of bergamot, patchouli, geranium, lavender, and cedar… the notes filter out and reveal who they’re trying to imitate… surprise! 🙂
It’s curious that while the norm today is to release barely noticeable perfumes, this one stands out slightly yet doesn’t please me in a dazzling way. I reaffirm that it’s far from the Y line DNA; I don’t know where they see the resemblance because it has absolutely nothing to do with it. It’s more mature, serious, and not attractive to me. It moves away from the ‘generic’ in the good sense that characterizes this line, diving into dry, green woody tones that are bitter at times and not pleasant to me. It feels similar to the new Gentleman Society by Givenchy, swinging here toward green and in Givenchy toward vanilla. Nothing to do with Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne or many others listed online. I don’t think it’s as generic as most current launches, but I don’t feel it’s a winning or pleasant aroma on average either; it’s not challenging either, stuck in no-man’s-land as an attempt at a mature turn that hasn’t quite arrived. I see an attempt to create an aromatic-fougère twist without actually being one, so like many others, it will pass without glory or shame. If someone isn’t a fan of the Y line DNA, I’d recommend not dismissing it because it deviates completely, and if you’re looking for something more serious without losing versatility and the good performance of the EDP, it works all year, more formal but equally casual or as a signature. For me, it’s been an absolute disappointment, and that’s surprising since Yves Saint Laurent had pleasantly surprised me with their recent launches, not because they were good (except Bleu Electrique) but because they weren’t so bad. We’ll sit and wait, and surely it won’t take long to see the Elixir or Extreme versions. What a lack of a pause in the perfume market; what saturation of launches. As advice, be careful because the EDP and Intense bottles are practically identical; if it smells weird at first, it’s this one.
Sharing the same DNA as the Y line, it shows a woody, foresty facet, leaving the fruits aside. The blend of citrus peels with rough sage and refined geranium gives it a more serious and classic aura. Berries and ginger are felt throughout the development, and the woods round things out at the end. It’s good, classy, intense but not overwhelming. For older gentlemen.
Y Eau de Parfum Intense is an aromatic woody fragrance. It has a fresh, slightly herbal, and very aromatic opening, and as minutes pass, it becomes more woody; you can perceive the fruity accord of the entire line, but in this version, it’s less prominent, giving greater prominence to woody accords that give it a more mature character and also make it less versatile in usage situations, although it is also a multi-season fragrance and could be used in any time of year. In terms of performance, it maintains the good longevity of its sibling fragrances (at least the EDT, EDP, and Parfum), and it’s noticeable for the first hour, though afterwards it fades to skin-level. Personally, I haven’t liked the Y line from YSL too much; if I had to choose one right now, I’d probably pick the EDT version they relaunched last year, but I think those who have enjoyed these fragrances might like this new version, and now that it’s new and can be tested at any perfumery, I invite you to try it before buying.
In my opinion, it’s like taking the Le Parfum version, adding a bit of the EDP’s apple, and tossing in a touch of floral. It’s intense for real; it doesn’t wash off easily, and it projects a lot. In that last aspect, it beats the Parfum. I don’t see the point of releasing so many flankers with minor note tweaks, but without a doubt, it’s an exquisite scent with extraordinary performance. 8/10.
It smells rich and pleasant, but the longevity is a disaster: after four hours, it’s gone completely, like an Eau de Toilette. If you like the scent, grab another soft one with bergamot that smells very similar on skin, like The Scalpers Boxing Club. It lasts the same, smells the same, and costs half the price. Do you like it? It doesn’t drive me crazy, but it’s nice. Would you recommend it? No, for that, I buy Scalpers for less than half the price.
Eau de Parfum Intense is aromatic and woody. The opening is fresh and herbal, very aromatic, which becomes more woody over time. You can feel the fruity accord of the line, but here it’s less prominent, giving the spotlight to the woods for a more mature and less versatile character, though it remains multi-season and usable year-round. Performance maintains the longevity of its siblings (EDT, EDP, and Parfum); it’s noticeable for the first hour, then drops to skin scent. Personally, I haven’t liked the Y line much; if I could choose again, I’d probably go for the relaunched EDT from last year. But if you enjoyed these fragrances, you might like this new version. Now that it’s new and available for testing in any perfumery, I invite you to try it before buying.
I approached this fragrance with skepticism because the Why line from Yves Saint Laurent has never caught my attention, but I have to say this one did. It has an opening between citrus and earthy, almost fresh, but that’s only in the opening. As it settles, you perceive a lot of lavender, leaving a floral sensation, and in its dry-down, it maintains the floral punch but this time interwoven with patchouli and some woody touches, and I’d say amber, which give it a very distinguished and refined contribution. As for its projection, honestly, it’s limited to 1 hour, maybe 2 hours after application, with a 1-meter trail. From then on, it becomes more moderate. However, what has most caught my attention is its longevity: 8 hours after application it still projects, and the day after application it’s still there; it’s an absolute beast, at least on my skin. I think it’s a fantastic fragrance for formal occasions, totally versatile regarding climates, seasons, and times of day. Very masculine, ideal for mature and confident men, it adds seriousness and formality. As for its price-to-quality ratio, the truth is it can be expensive, considering we’re already dealing with a luxury brand.
I went in skeptical because the Why line from YSL never appealed to me, but this one does. Citrus and earthy opening, almost fresh. Once it settles, lavender takes over, giving a floral sensation that dries down mixing with patchouli, woods, and amber, adding a noble and refined touch. Projection is limited to 1 or 2 hours at arm’s length, then it stays closer to the skin. What surprises me most is the longevity: after 8 hours it’s still projecting, and it’s still there the next day—a real beast on my skin. Fantastic for formal occasions, versatile in climate and season. Very masculine, ideal for mature, confident men; it adds seriousness. Price-quality might be steep, considering it’s luxury.
Honestly, it feels like a joke… Do you know Álvaro Moreno’s stores in Spain? That’s how they smell, and this perfume is the Blue. It feels suffocating, smells like cheap cologne with zero quality. It could be something from a supermarket for under 10€ under the Instituto Español label. The Y line for men is dispensable; maybe the EDT will save it, though there are many similar ones. I can’t say anything positive; the only nice thing is the cobalt blue bottle.
Either my batch is old or noses are just plugged here, because three hours in and it’s still giving me a headache. It took a while to grow on me, but now that I wear it more, I absolutely love it. It’s a perfect designer option: versatile, all-season, and reasonably priced. With the fever for elixirs disguised as EDPs, you won’t find these 70€ anywhere else. If you have a collection, this is a must-have; if you prefer a small wardrobe, use it any season, day or night. Recommended buy.
Incredible opening; freshly sprayed, it’s super fresh, masculine, and clean, with a citrus-herbal and spicy aroma. The sage is super alive. As it dries down, the first 5 minutes smell quite like a vintage fougère. For those who don’t like sweet blue fragrances, it’s a super good option. I think it’s a great update of nineties perfumes mixed with current trends. Quite masculine and noticeable, as if the Y family DNA put on a classic outfit. You can feel the base of the Y, but without that generic blue fragrance look. This review is on blotter; I haven’t tested it on skin yet, but the projection looks good… we’ll see about longevity, as everything modern is deceptive (potent openings that fade in 2 hours). I was surprised; I expected more of the same, but it’s an interesting and different contribution to the typical. It could be for anyone over 25, quite versatile.
This perfume is pretty cool. I didn’t reach for it often, but it smells great—floral and unique. Unlike others that smell the same but feel cloying, this is soft thanks to its tonal balance. The downside is that it lasts almost nothing and projects barely from the skin, which is why I’m giving it a 6/10.
More formal and mature than the rest of the line. I detect lavender and ginger, but in the dry down, I smell something similar to iris, which is very strange since it’s not listed in the notes. Does anyone else experience this?
Replying to Rvela7823: I also notice a similar iris peeking through the rest. Setting aside logical comparisons, it’s like the iris in Prada L’Homme. It’s a less sharp and strident version than the Y Eau de Parfum, especially in the dry down. Within the DNA, it’s softer, rounder, with less spark and that chemical green touch of the original. I see it as a modern, adult, elegant, and very masculine fougère. Very versatile and good value. At first, I thought it was worse than the EDT, but after testing them together with decants, I like this one more. Good buy if you don’t want to complicate things and just want to smell good.
Did you notice it has the same notes as Boucheron’s Singulier? It’s one of the most versatile, alongside the Sauvage EDT.
One of the most versatile on the market, except in extreme heat. More mature than the EDP with good performance. Subjectively, I don’t like wearing it, just like the rest of the line, although it smells good on others from a distance. Luckily, I only bought a decant.
In my opinion, it’s the best in the ‘Y’ line because it’s the most different without losing the DNA. I’d say it’s the one that resembles other blue fragrances like Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel the most. It lasts quite a while, and its projection is moderate, ideal for any weather and for work.
Excellent version. I was testing most of the flankers. I’m a 34-year-old man: the Fraiche version is a hit but not very long-lasting, the EDT is too loud and somewhat boring, the EDP is delicious but very youthful, and the Le Parfum is forgettable. This version is perfect: long-lasting with great sillage. A mature, semi-formal aroma, perfect for almost any situation. My favorite for the office, king of compliments.
I loved the EDP, but smelling the opening of this today caused me repulsion, and I had to wash my hand where I sprayed it. I don’t know which note it was, but smelling this was horrible.
I don’t get the people who say this flanker is like the EDT but more refined. To me, they have nothing in common, not even in the notes; this fragrance goes a completely different direction. It doesn’t smell like apple at all, whereas the YDP is apple no matter how you look at it. It’s a very well-rounded scent, I’ve received many compliments, and the longevity is quite good—8 hours on my skin. It doesn’t have a huge projection, but it has an excellent sillage, which is appreciated. I don’t know how the EPP batches will hold up since I’ve been using Yeah for almost a year and it’s been great. If you can afford the price, the fragrance is very good; for me, an 8/10.
Underrated version. It’s not a different perfume, but it’s very fulfilling. It stands out among its siblings for its more herbal and aromatic touch. It evolves to become perhaps the most mature ‘Y’, but a mature scent usable for all ages. Longevity: 7.5/10. Projection: 9/10 (first few hours).
I bought it blind to gift to my boyfriend. I haven’t tried the normal Y, only this Intense. It seems very versatile, suitable for any occasion (night, day, summer, autumn, spring, winter). The longevity is good; it lasts a long time for me and more than 8 hours for my boyfriend. The sillage is intense at first, noticeable at home even when we’re not close, but then it drops, which is normal. It smells very much like a man to me, with a hint of oat milk no one mentions, and like a good forest thanks to the woody touch, flowers, and fruits. I recommend it if you want something versatile, with good sillage, longevity, and that smells like a man.
It’s a rich, classic, and dark scent, pleasant and unpretentious. It doesn’t have the DNA of the others; the woods remind me of Hugo Boss Bottled Parfum, but this is fresher, with that blue fruity touch of juniper berries, like the plum in Bad Boy Cobalt. It’s like combining those two perfumes in this presentation. I don’t consider it mature, just dark and elegant, something to wear well-dressed. It suits anyone, more versatile than HB and more serious than CH.
I think it’s the most mature in the line. I have the EdT and EdP (2017 and ’18) and the Live. In this version, the apple and amber from the beginning are gone, giving it a more mature air fitting my age. I feel it’s darker and more elegant. Anyway, of the ones I know, this Y Intense is the one I like the most.
Didn’t like it at first. Now I like it more, but it’s a heavy scent recommended only 80% of the time.
A perfumed aura, giving a sense of level and confidence, ‘the boss is coming.’ Hyper-masculine, impossible not to like, but not a compliment bomb profile. The opening is sharp but settles quickly, leaving a rich woody profile. It fixes well, projects better, and is dense for extreme temperatures but works up to 25 degrees. Better suited for formal occasions or men over 30. Using it to buy bread is a waste. Before buying, analyze the price because it’s often inflated. If you have extra budget, buy it blind to have a sober alternative.
I tried it in a decant to see the differences from the original Y EDP. Honestly, there’s little to nothing from the Intense. It’s 85% similar to the normal EDP at the start, but without the tonka bean that I personally hate and which made me dizzy in the EDP. This makes it more bearable; it reminds me of Valentino Coral as it dries down. However, the performance is disappointing: on skin and clothes, it doesn’t last more than 2 hours, which hurts. The scent is pleasant for the first hour, but then it disappears and loses appeal. It’s hard to justify it beyond a decant. If I had to buy the bottle, I’d choose the EDP. The Intense’s low performance doesn’t fully convince me. Final rating: 7.8/10.
A friend gifted it to me, and it was a total letdown. I didn’t like the scent; I can’t explain why, but in the heat, it’s not for me. I’ll try it in autumn or winter to see how it performs…
My biggest disappointment… I arrived with huge expectations because the Y family is famous and I like the EDP for its green apple Jolly Rancher scent. This one went weird at first: fresh and spicy, but on my skin, it evolved terribly. The soft floral heart leaves the ginger lingering with a cologne-like touch. My dad said: ‘It’s like you sweated a lot and put on cheap perfume just to not smell so bad.’ The base is so soft I can’t even feel it. Nothing like the Intense; it reminds me of Cartier Declaration, that spicy sweat scent I hate. This is the one that caused the most hate for me; I even gave it to my brother and it happened to him too. NOT for everyone, test before buying because pH can play tricks.
This fragrance gets hate on TikTok, but on my skin, it’s a more serious and unique blue than Y EDP, which feels a bit more playful. This version exudes confidence. The creamy tonka bean that plagued the over-sprayed EDP fades away, replaced by a herbal/floral touch that adds depth without being annoying. For me, it beats the EDT, EDP, and Le Parfum. Like the whole line, the performance is weak, but for everything else, a solid 8.5/10.
Y Intense is the solid step toward elegance, much more serious than the earlier ones that feel playful and youthful. It sets the stage for the Elixir, which is good but still doesn’t reach the heights of Sauvage Elixir. Here you get rich lavender and a modern fougere that many like, though it sometimes gets overlooked by hype followers chasing sweetness. It stands apart from previous flankers; it’s designer perfume with personality, not mass-market. Give it a try—many underrated it without understanding, and not every YouTuber is the bible. Cheers.
