Yves Saint Laurent Y Fragrance Buying Guide - Which Should You Get? (2024)

[@DF-199X]

Eau Fraiche really is underrated! It would be more popular if it didn't come out during covid. Possibly my favorite summer fragrance and it's my wife's second favorite.

[@bigbossjandi]

Just bought the Le Parfum a few days ago and I went right on to use it. The longevity is INSANE! For me, the best frag in the Y Line.

[@hectorramos8691]

More buying guides please. This was a great video. Thank you

[@sumwun3179]

Yeah I'd love one for givenchy gentlemen, Prada Luna rossa, gurlain ideal ect

[@MrVoayer]

This really is detailed and quite precise description of YSL Y lineup - one of the best fragrance lines on the market. We all know and love EDP. Le Parfum is dark knight of the line. Intense is clean, aromatic and soapy. Elixir is specia and sophisticatedl in its own way ! I wouldn't like to be deprived of any of them ! Excellent video !!!

[@McAmeron089III]

Thank you for the tutorial. You cleared up many of my questions I had about these frags. I don't think I want any of them really. I do like that you broke down each one in a succinct manner. Much appreciated.

[@tonylucci2451]

Ysl intense is my all time fragrance. I owen so many fragrances in my collection but i keep coming back to intense.

[@mihailmanev5358]

Le Parfum and Eau Fraiche are the two I own and think are best.

[@PoncesPoint]

I honestly like Intense the most. It’s the most different out of all the Y lines and smells great.

[@MichaelAlso]

Really enjoy Y EDP Intense - less soapy than the other Y's IMO. Great vid.

[@acevedobrooklyn]

[@HB84hunt]

Intense is my favorite being less sweet and more versatile - for me.

[@NatixLoudxBoi]

Y Eau Fraichi is my favorite spring cologne. I had that bottle for about 2 years now

[@jesuschavez9110]

I love updated guides on this! Thank you!

[@damncidd]

Y Intense for me 👍

[@michamarchlewski4155]

Great summary of the Ysl Y series. I definitely have to check out Y Le parfum.

[@chiefgl1161]

My scent of the day was Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche. I very much want Nefs. High as a kite on my wishlist. Have Guerlain L'Homme EDP. One of 7 fragrances i have backups of. Naxos is just great. Beautiful. Would love to have Pure Malt.

[@michaelrandall6184]

Unpopular opinion - but the Y Elixir performs the best & has been a compliment monster.

[@headbull]

I love y elexir

[@paaaaat579]

Le Parfum, #1 for me

[@blackopsfreak9]

I have YSL Le Parfum. Loved it at first, but I have started to not appreciate the way it dries. I layered it with ombre leather and appreciated the scent a lot more. Anways, Ive started using Versace Eros EDP and find it smells almost the same off the top but dries so much better to my liking. And, I can pull it off all seasons.

[@pepepopo8367]

wow we had so much similar experiences my first frag was eros edp and when i got ysl le parfum later after a year i noticed that similarity. it was very close.

[@thanatology493]

I have Y EDT, EDP, and Eau Fraiche. Safe to say it's my favorite line :D

[@larrycollins4558]

Definitely Got get me some YSL Edp! 🔥 👌

[@TheHispanicJukeBox]

The only Y fragrances that I own are the EDP and the EDP intense and the Le Parfum, maybe I'll pick up the eau fraiche not sure yet

[@thomasmartin4768]

Which is yo best ?

[@GilliganGrubb]

Witch is the best

[@jamiewillis5701]

Y EDP is the one for me. At first i didnt really like it but once the ladies started complimenting me it became my scent haha

[@TWENTY6ENTERPRISE]

Hi Ash, Is it possible to put all the fragrance information on 1 slide ? I love your videos and take multiple screen shots on my phone for each fragrance and use it as reference for when I go to the mall to shop around. I have some screen shots with notes but no prices. A screenshot with fragrance vs clone but no notes. A screen shot with notes but no performance bar chart. Etc. Example: - bottom left quadrant has Retail cost vs Discounter cost for each size. - Bottom right quadrant has all the clones ranked from best to worse going from left to right. Maybe include how close it is to the original and price range. - Dead center would have the picture of the fragrance, name,year released and status. Maybe mention if it's on your top 10 for summer etc. - upper left quadrant would have your performance bar chart with the projection etc. - upper right quadrant would have all the notes. Top, middle and base notes. This would be a BIG help. Thanks.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a fan of this line and have a blessed day

[@Leny1777]

I like EDP, EDT and Le Parfum the most.

[@drewbunton1156]

I love Eau Fraiche I just can’t find it anywhere.

[@denvenom4011]

6:15 I always remember the Y Live commercial, where the frontman of Maroon 5 (Adam Levine) drives a Mustang, then plays rock on the roof of a house. The best advertising in my opinion and well describes the character of the fragrance Y. If I take one, then I would take Y Le parfum, this is all that is needed for me☝️🤓🖤✨

[@Capaholic208]

Are you twelve?

[@denvenom4011]

@Capaholic208 How smart you are🤣🤣. And what about you 70? 🧙🏻‍♂️ I don't want to offend those who are 70+, it's just that you have such a worldview. Learn to enjoy life, and not just spit on passers-by with envy...

[@TiburonLopez21]

You should do a Dior buying guide, loved the video ❤❤

[@prestonmandish9483]

he did one a couple of videos ago

[@YongYong-s4b]

Can you explain why other bottles of ysl edp the straw are visible while others are invisible?

[@samevans9113]

I just got the YSL EDT in the UK for £34. I really enjoy it as a after shower scent

[@conorallen100]

EPD intense is so underrated

[@luisbolus1917]

I AGREE. It kickstarted my entire collection tbh

[@iwassickbeforecovid5066]

watching this video made me realize there was an ELIXIR out!! so far I owned the EDP and Parfum (parfum is one of the greatest scents EVER ), I wanna see wassup with that elixir now

[@tipoomaster]

Please review Tumi Continuum and say if any clone houses have a similar smell, best new scent I got out of my monthly different sub!

[@bendavid2320]

Y live is amazing it is by far my favorite I always have 2 bottles bc for whatever reason they don’t make a 200 ml bottle.

[@rafaellamarche4273]

I love this! More more!

[@mv1adimirov]

I missed an info graphic for all the bottles as I can't remember all the longevity, projection, silage, etc.

[@johnkehoe8454]

Y live is amazing I have the full line up but this is so underrated the dry down is unique ... getting hard to find though

[@abhi22lad]

YSL perfumes names are so unique that you will end up buying a wrong one

[@airgunnersedge4061]

Since the relaese of Intence, i gravitate towards that more... But sometimes just layer the edp & Intence for a change up...

[@classicswagg1980]

I was actually unimpressed with the Elixir as it smelled too fruity. EDP was my first purchase and I just recently bought Le Parfum because it smells similar to Bleu De Chanel Parfum at a fraction on the price.

[@Eph24]

ahhh!! i wish I had the money to buy some of those fragrance. wanna try it someday

[@mikejrog]

So many youtubers say Y EDP has beastmode longevity, but I strongly disagree. I love the scent so much I own 4 100ml bottles, but the scent only lasts about 3 hours for me before it pulls back hard into a skin scent. Then it's gone almost entirely after another couple hours. Purchased from retail store.

[@LBSure]

Original release bottles are absolutely beast mode. I Can’t speak for anything past that first year.

[@mikejrog]

@@LBSure lol probably true, but that’s pretty much impossible to get now

[@gilbertoflores7397]

Maybe try moisturizer? I have a bottle, and I get very long and strong performance. I'll go very light and start to feel insecure that I put on too much because it fills the room when I've been sitting down for a few minutes. It definitely performs strongly, I don't even like the scent all that much, I just wear it because of its performance.

[@mikejrog]

@@gilbertoflores7397 I use cerave moisturizer and nope. Bottles are from Ulta. Happy for you that yours lasts though.

[@LA-st6dq]

All the YSL Y EdP batches I had to this are still very strong on my skin even after 10 hours when I usually take a shower in the evening. Though I remember the first time I had Y EdP, I couldn't smell it for 2 Weeks thought it was week while people around me told that my parfum is very strong😂

[@_Arnab_Ghosh]

Y EDP doens't last?

[@rogerwebster9826]

I own the EDP & EDPI. I haven't even smelled the others, but may blind-buy the Parfum next.

[@genesisansbro4936]

The parfum in my opinion is actually smoother. The EDP and the intense are a lot stronger as far as spice goes. It’s the more classy suit and tie type fragrance for me.

[@rogerwebster9826]

@@genesisansbro4936 I like the fact the the edp and the edpi aren't redundant. I can wear them like 2 different fragrances rather than 2 flankers from the same line. In reviews the parfum sounds close to the edp, but maybe a little more dressed up? If so, I'll be happy to have it.

[@teejay3082]

lol I just received my 200ml y edp, turn on my pc and you release this

[@houseadams4841]

Honestly…. This line is so similar. If you like the dna… Get the EDP intense… Elixir isn’t worth the $. The Fraiche is discontinued I believe…. That’s probably my favorite from the line. I kept that one and Fraiche… Gave away the EDP to by brother and the edt to my son.

[@Michael-Styles]

My Top 3 would be: 1) Y Le Parfum 2) Y Live 3) Y EDP I do like the like the Y Intense as well just not like the others. And just re-bought Le Parfum & Live.

[@DownHillgamer]

Got samples of elixer (meh) and edp intense, not sure if i need any of them though, i got dylan blue and sauvage edp

[@carlduplessis8007]

Get Y Le Parfum and call it a day. Clear number 1

[@jbeliz]

I agree last longer as well.

[@Dr_Forensics]

Hey, Ash. Your videos are the reason I started my fragrance collection! Can we get a quick review of His Confession by Lattafa? I've heard nothing but praise about it!

[@dopeCG909]

Just bought le parfum I don’t think I’ll be disappointed

[@thomasmartin4768]

Are you ?

[@polaralpha5561]

I did too, I smelled it at Sephora and it’s so fresh

[@Kovalio]

I like and have LeParfum, Eau Fraiche, new EDT, Intense and I want to buy Elixir. Instead od EDP I've bought Lattafa - Fakhar Black

[@spaztekwarrior]

Y Eau Fraiche and Y Le Parfum (an EDP) are the two best :):)

[@thefeniksflight]

It's probably just me, but the Y EDP Intense comes off as VERY fruity. I almost always try it whenever I'm at a mall or duty-free shop just to sort of confirm it. 😅 I'm a fan of Y EDP and Y Le Parfum. I've gotten plenty of compliments from both and, while I definitely enjoy Y EDP the most, I absolutely enjoy the way Y Le Parfum pushes off my skin in high heat or when I'm moving around a lot, just enough to make my body heat up. That's when the compliments start rolling in, even if I sprayed 7 to 8 hours prior. These fragrances sell well for a reason! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@looneydesi]

The only two I ❤ are EDP and le parfum … both were love at first sniff

[@mikejrog]

Would appreciate it if my comments stopped being deleted. I mentioned where I bought my bottles of Y EDP and noticed all replies are gone when I include the retail store. There a reason for that?

[@myjenkins06]

Great video... is there a spot to sample Y Live or a dope/clone of it available to test?

[@belairscents]

Y edp version is the best of the line ❤

[@dariusznowik]

i love Yves Saint Laurent Y Fragrance:)

[@Q_N-]

lol man the Y line sure has come a long way 🤣 I still remember my hyper when I got the EDP on its release. What an amazing scent, even now EDP rules the Y line

[@KRoNoS-3033]

Le parfum is the best

[@slimbarti1300]

i don't like EDP, my wife loves it but i cant convince my self. MY self though...i love it

[@polaralpha5561]

I have le parfum and it’s amazing

[@darrunn]

They cut down the note breakdown so it's harder to clone, I assume..

[@kenmastersmaster]

Ready for the cone wars

[@tcompound327]

edt, edp and live! are the best . I like the elixer but its not worth the cost

[@madgamer574]

Can you review le sel d’issey?

[@meirvaizman9181]

Versace buying guide will be lovely

[@josemata3845]

Do a prime deal days video if there are any

[@airgunnersedge4061]

So many fakes i wouldn't recommend to anyone !!

[@Metaz7]

do this with aqua di gio

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

Top 3, in my humble opinion: Y Eau Fraiche Y Live Y EDT (Reformulated)

[@warhawg9564]

Great top 3! I think mine are: Y Le Parfum Y LIVE Y EDT

[@warhawg9564]

Do you own Y Elixir? If so, what's your opinion on it? It's the only one I haven't picked up

[@DannyBellTheAuthor]

@warhawg9564 I smelled it, wasn't super impressed, skipped buying it. Y Elixir felt like it was trying too hard and just didn't have what it takes. The ones I really like, EDT, Eau Fraiche, and Live, what they all have in common is that they feel like they smell exactly like what they're supposed to smell like. This video made me decide to wear Y Live in fact, and I'm just absolutely enjoying it.

[@samyyyyyyy]

My Top 4: Y Eau Fraiche Y Le Parfum Y EDP Intense Y Live Fraiche really is the best of the line 💯 I'd buy Y L'Elixir again (I returned it I was so unimpressed) if I can score it like $80, which is still more than its worth imho 🤣

[@Krayd-q5j]

Can’t believe Y Eau Fraiche didn’t take off.

[@BirdySoFly]

Yo Ash, acqua di gio EDP or the new EDT?

[@genesisansbro4936]

I work with vendors from Aqua de Gio and they say that the formula hasn’t changed, it’s just a refillable bottle now

[@BirdySoFly]

@@genesisansbro4936 Thank you, I went to the small to do some testing and the vendor said the same to me.

[@PONO-go3ee]

Can Anyone name , the Best Clones of YSL, ?

[@genesisansbro4936]

Idk if it would be a clone… but the Ralphs club, EDT and EDP are the closest for me. There’s not much as far as designer lines go that I think would compare much closer then that.

[@tompowell7889]

Y EDP Intense I reckon

[@T10-i5s]

Le parfum smells similar to Versace Eros in my opinion.

[@Quiksilversurf311]

Le Parfum #1

[@MICHAH6]

Hey ash i love your videos. Could you please lower the volume of your videos. They hurt my ears. Thanks

[@olesyakoktyan6713]

Ashton, another fantastic review. Frankly, I go to your channel more and more often given that the way you describe fragrances is the most accurate in my opinion. In contrast to other channels often run by an absolute psychopaths like Ross from TLTG.

[@Alritealritealrite]

I have the intense one. And I find it extremely boring.

[@JoleneChow-n4d]

[@MaltSingle]

Le Parfum is exactly like Dylan Blue

[@farouqalzeer1121]

EDP

[@ARELLANOFAM909]

So YSL MYSELF not listed?

[@raccs600]

its not the y line

[@wiggles2439]

You should have started this video by saying, allow myslf to introduce myslf

[@Godspeedjosh]

Get Le Parfum or Intense. The rest are not great.

[@pugggs]

Why are you yelling in your opening?

[@paris.enigma]

Y Ash, just Y.

[@gamalielcenteno4801]

👍👍👍👍

[@joseg8498]

Eau fraiche was amazing. Too bad covid stole its thunder

[@jingledubz3989]

🤘

[@937-b3o]

For me the intense edp...the rest overrated junk

[@davorp6012]

Ysl fragrances are the most synthetic of the popular brands.. change my mind

[@josemarcosbremenkamp3987]

Lê parfum minha favorita!

[@gilbertoflores7397]

They're supposed to be, Even Ash has said he didn't really like them. He's the one who started the hype years ago on the line, because he tracked all the fragrances he wore and tracked all the unsolicited compliments he received for a whole year, and to his surprise, the most compliments he got for a fragrance was YSL Y and Y edp, so him saying it was the biggest compliments getter made everyone else reevaluate the fragrance, because they had negative reviews on them at launch. Ash said himself they're generics, and boring, but they work for its intended purpose and he loved their performance (y edp).

[@davorp6012]

Oh thanks for the answer yeah synthetics do be performing well that's why cdnim also is a compliment beast with that cheap lemon note ​@@gilbertoflores7397

[@joseesteves1309]

Y EDP is really bad. Doesn't last long, and smell meh! Mediocre parfum .
