YSL Y Fragrance Guide - Which Yves Saint Laurent Y Fragrances Are Best

[@coreycarpenter4531]

Someone asked me what I was wearing not long ago. I said "YSL Y EDP". It took me a second to realize I had just said a bunch of letters at someone who had no idea what I was talking about.

[@jasonbenford3427]

Welcome to the addiction

[@desertgreek]

EDP , smells incredible, I wear Creed Aventus ,Portugal, Silver Mountain Water and I get more compliments with this than those much more expensive fragrances

[@untiltheyfeelmysound]

this video helped me pick out one of my favorite colognes ever “ysl y edp”!! i had it for about a year and got it for my birthday !! i definitely don’t regret it!! thank you!!!!

[@MoahGentle]

Absolutely spot on comparison/guide. Can’t talk about Y Live but about all the rest, I agree with your opinion. Only thing I’d add is that the reformulated Y edt doesn’t only smell more refined but also performs better. I personally prefer Y Eau Fresh to Dior Homme Cologne also.

[@smorcoss]

i bought a bottle of the edt a month ago and mine only lasts about 2 hours how do you make your last longer?

[@ItDoesntMATTERwhatYourNameIS]

​@stevenmorcos8268 Everything has factors. Some people's natural pharamoanes and skin don't mesh with some fragrances etc Stay hydrated Use lotion like jojoba oil coconut oil etc But edts generally aren't meant to last long. Rule of thumb is 2 to 3 hours. Not everybody will get a long performance like few do apparently with this

[@Kovalio]

I love fragrance guides with whole fragrance line ❤️

[@pickle.786]

Comparing videos of flankers like this (and comparing videos of different brands with similar scents) to help us decide are the most important videos you make

[@MrVoayer]

Suggestive and very precise description of YSL Y line. Excellent video that demands several views to soak in all the important details and nuances ! Great stuff !

[@mxracle2]

I have all from this line. Personally, I like Y Fraiche scent the most, followed by Y Live and then Y Le Parfum. Y EDP is fine, but to me, the first two I mentioned have a smoother scent and easier to use.

[@jeremeymiller3406]

There’s a reason the edp is so popular one of the best blue fragrances IMO and one of the best performing knew it was a winner upon my first time smelling it and will always have a bottle in the collection very versatile easy to wear and crowd pleasing never get tired of it

[@16klu]

I have recently bought Y EDP and it is absolutely my favorite nowadays. So lovely and not plain fragrance!

[@aisthefisherman]

You have really improved these buying guides! Keep the breakdowns just like this! Lots of great info

[@DrumLuv23]

Y EDT is super underrated.

[@orang7789]

most likely because everyone loves to fill rooms with edp frags💀

[@Rabe97]

No it’s not it’s perfectly rated the only people that say that are the people that regret buying it

[@quantumz5934]

I put it on and it had to grow on me.. I step away from it and came and started to realize the scents even better... I love it

[@CarlosRodriguez-lf9oe]

I love my YSL M7 that I bought over 10 years ago, I don’t want it to end!

[@ch_the_3rd72]

EDP 2 sprays. My wife thought it was a bit strong in the car, but I had just sprayed it before. Not saying it was bad, just strong. So some people beware. All these are great. The only one I don’t have is the EDT because it had some “negative” reviews. But might get the reformulation now. Thanks again Ash 👍🏻👍🏻

[@dazzac74]

2 sprays ....???? Mate min 10. Let people smelk you 2 sprays and she said its too strong must be a very sensitive nose she has.

[@yoboyluis3926]

@@dazzac74 fr I spray like 7-9 times man, i gotta let it be known what I’m wearing

[@Doppo69]

I spray edp 2 times it clears a room out it’s really strong! Lots of compliments though

[@umarahmad5583]

If you guys spray more than 2 sprays on y EDP then you are unknowingly gassing out everyone within a 10 foot radius of you. That’s ridiculous, this stuff is STRONG.

[@khaled.k4485]

The dry down of le parfum is great 🥂

[@gavinbarbell63]

agreed

[@jp23x]

EDT is the blue fragrance of the Y Line. Edp and le parfum are the complete opposite. These 2 are for evenings and for cooler weather and are very similar. I smell edt in edp, but not so much in le parfum. I prefer le parfum.

[@jeffsmallwood4636]

I have the entire collection and enjoy them all but LIVE is my favorite!

[@JaimetheNomad]

I own Y EDP but have tested Le Parfum on my skin a couple times now with testers at Macy’s, so far I think they are pretty different to me and I would definitely own both. Le Parfum is on my list :) overall a big fan of YSL in general, I have La Nuit De L’Homme as well as the bleu electrique flanker, and the regular L’Homme too. Love them all!

[@michaelvoorhees5978]

Didn't tell us which is your favorite......

[@JaimetheNomad]

@@michaelvoorhees5978 well since my initial post I actually purchased Y Le Parfum as well. In the Y line I think Le Parfum is my favorite. But to be honest when I was comparing them on test strips EDP was my fav. Now that I’ve spent a little more time with them I do think they open more similar, on skin, than I originally thought but then go different ways in the dry down. But you can still tell it’s the same dna. As for my general YSL favorite, it’s a close call between La Nuit De L’Homme and the Bleu electrique flanker.

[@josec1075]

just wondering is the EDP strong ? And how long does it last for ?

[@JaimetheNomad]

@@josec1075 for me it’s strong enough to last all day (8 hours etc)

[@cheekster777]

Have been waiting for this fragrance guide. 👍🏻 Thanks Ash! 🙏🏻

[@Den_Hi]

YSL Y Live - beautiful at the beginning and the middle notes, but especially in the heat in the base it has the smell of laundry detergent, which begins to drill your nose.

[@Moodog12]

Love these types of videos. Thanks for the great content Ash!

[@vhperches]

I was searching for EXACTLY this video

[@vysionr]

The new YSL Y EDP Intense is absolutely my favorite of the bunch. It's way more mature and complex than the edp and little so than the parfum, plus the drydown is beautiful. More versatile than the EDP considering it's lower projection and it being less sweet but more woody, the patchouli is an amazing addition. I'd use Y EDP for more fun events or going out with friends, or if you want something way more youthful.

[@onedadinplaid159]

I have the EDP and my wife loves it. It's almost gone though, and I think I'll get the Parfume next. I love the blacked out bottle. Can't wait to try it.

[@thegoodfoke3606]

i own both and i can tell you that there is a difference, y le parfum reminds me a little bit of versace eros, just a liiiittle bit, its like y edp mixed with eros but with a very very dark twist, LOVE IT, im pretty sure you are going to like it aswell, if i were you i would buy both, if you are running low on the edp then get both the edp and y le parfum, thats what i did, cant choose one over the other, some days i go y edp and others i go y le parfum, masterpieces.

[@allenabey2721]

I'd choose the Dior Homme line

[@thefragrancevol753]

Well, 8 months later, this would be an actual decision. Today, I would ultimately say the same thing, but not by much The Dior Homme line is a solid choice. It wouldn't be in consideration, but as I go further along into collecting, I may consider it to be my favorite line

[@espartan3806]

"Y" LE PARFUM ITS MY FAV!! ON MY TOP 3 BEST.... 1-LAYTON PDM 2-"Y" LE PARFUM 3-TUXEDO YSL🙄

[@earthbarry]

I just bought the Eau De Parfum and i’m in LOVE with it Gonna buy parfum also

[@nextgencowboy]

Funny this for posted today. I just got some samples of LNDL edt. Edp, and Y edp in. I've switched to Y EDT (2017) as my signature scent, because the people I work with seem to absolutely love it. Just tried the EDP for the first time this morning and wow, I am in love, definitely picking up a bottle. I'm glad I picked up a few bottles of the 2017, and I am curious to try the new Y EDT.

[@thefragrancevol753]

The EDP is a monster. 1 or 2 sprays does the trick which means your bottle will last ages

[@aaronwidder4458]

I have the EDT and Fraiche, and wore both in the florida heat this summer, and YSL Fraiche absolutely shines with heat! Starts off with that lemonade scent, then transforms into the original edt!

[@thefragrancevol753]

I got into fragrance doing just this: wearing YSL Y Eau Fraiche in Florida. Even though it was last winter, I got into this doing that over there :)

[@Discovery_and_Change]

I had a Y EDP sample and liked it, but ordered the Y EDT because it was on special and was disappointed when it arrived and I tried it (I like the EDP better but didn't know it because hadn't tried the EDT).

[@UNSCR1PTED]

11:10 It isn't redundant to have the two at all. one can easily tell which one's which. Le Parfum is noticeably warmer, and less aggressive, but still crazy pleasant. I admit my EDP remains noticeable more than the Le Parfum, but I still prefer Le Parfum.

[@jacksonshaw4130]

Thanks for the video Ash. I'm missing Yves saint Laurent for my collection. You earned a Sub.

Y Live is the one to get. Im sick of smelling Y Edp on the average joe every single time that i go out on the weekend.

[@gaurav.p]

I have Y EDP and I love it. I feel it’s an evening fragrance, daytime during fall. Let’s start the video now.

[@thefragrancevol753]

People sometimes say this is more of a daytime fragrance, and I'll never understand Y...

[@troypeylouret]

You can wear this fragrance ANY TIME ANY DAY ANY NIGHT ANY SEASON. Just during summer and hotter weather use less sprays. It’s an all season fragrance.

[@ChocolateJorge]

I like the fragrance line guides vids!

[@jingledubz3989]

Nailed this line perfectly, Ash. Not surprisingly, of course! 🤘

[@deefaulk2850]

Y Eau Fraiche is my favorite in the line

[@gamerbreed2185]

The first impression of YSL Le Parfum on me was great.. the opening notes are spicy strong and little sweet / sour but it ends totally flat citrussy. Which killed all the impression it built at the beginning.

[@JLSantz]

I bought y live because i liked the edp but it became too sweet for me in the long run. And i am happy with it. I was also able to try the le parfum but its a Y's take on a date night fragrance.

Y le parfum is a beast!

[@kmoney3066]

I’ve used y edp for a year and a half now and everytime I use it, I get an extreme headache. I only use 2 sprays of it. Sad cause after a couple hours it smells great

[@johnborges5938]

I myself don't get a headache, but the opening is rough and screechy and I could definitely see how more than a few minutes of it could make someone nauseated. I find it's best to apply it to as far from your nose as you can manage (upper back and arms) and give it plenty of time to settle before you have to be around other people. Le Parfum solved this problem for me.

[@richuncle9689]

Y le parfum is the king in the line then Live but performance is weak for Live. Everything else is an L. EDP has been reformulated and performance knocked down

[@kostasp1137]

[@TheHispanicJukeBox]

I actually don't mind if that one gets discontinued because with the new reformulation of the EDT in my opinion it makes that one obsolete and redundant for me personally the only ones that I actually want to own are the ones that I actually already have which are the EDP and the parfum

[@ANdr0xus]

I haven't really known the scent of fragrance too far, but so far Y edp is the most overrated smell in my opinion

[@TrephineArtist]

Y live best in the line IMO but looks like it's being discontinued, at least a well known perfumery here in France told me they would no longer be stocking it, they now only have the gift set available for order (I wonder if it'll be reformulated like the EDT or just axed).
