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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 !!!

[@carlduplessis8007]

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

[@paaaaat579]

[@damncidd]

Y Intense for me 👍

[@acevedobrooklyn]

Gents Scents in the building 👏🏾🤜🏻💥🤛🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@mihailmanev5358]

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

[@michaelrandall6184]

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

[@tonylucci2451]

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

[@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.

[@HB84hunt]

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

[@headbull]

I love y elexir

[@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!

[@MichaelAlso]

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

[@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.

[@michamarchlewski4155]

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

[@larrycollins4558]

Definitely Got get me some YSL Edp! 🔥 👌

[@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.

[@thanatology493]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@TiburonLopez21]

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

[@prestonmandish9483]

he did one a couple of videos ago

[@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...

[@drewbunton1156]

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

[@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

[@michaelbullock8011]

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

[@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! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@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!

[@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

[@teejay3082]

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

[@dopeCG909]

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

[@thomasmartin4768]

Are you ?

[@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!

[@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.

[@airgunnersedge4061]

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

[@looneydesi]

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

[@spaztekwarrior]

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

[@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

[@belairscents]

Y edp version is the best of the line ❤

[@slimbarti1300]

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

[@Eph24]

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

[@conorallen100]

EPD intense is so underrated

[@luisbolus1917]

I AGREE. It kickstarted my entire collection tbh

[@meirvaizman9181]

Versace buying guide will be lovely

[@KRoNoS-3033]

Le parfum is the best

[@rafaellamarche4273]

I love this! More more!

[@tcompound327]

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

[@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 🤣

[@dariusznowik]

i love Yves Saint Laurent Y Fragrance:)

[@myjenkins06]

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

[@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😂

[@kenmastersmaster]

Ready for the cone wars

[@_Arnab_Ghosh]

Y EDP doens't last?

[@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 ?

[@YongYong-s4b]

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

[@darrunn]

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

[@abhi22lad]

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

[@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?

[@Quiksilversurf311]

Le Parfum #1

[@josemata3845]

Do a prime deal days video if there are any

[@airgunnersedge4061]

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

[@tompowell7889]

Y EDP Intense I reckon

[@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

[@madgamer574]

Can you review le sel d’issey?

[@MYCUH6]

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

[@metaz5262]

do this with aqua di gio

[@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.

[@JoleneChow-n4d]

Shawn Springs

[@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.

[@farouqalzeer1121]

EDP

[@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.

[@jingledubz3989]

🤘

[@Alritealritealrite]

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

[@wiggles2439]

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

[@gamalielcenteno4801]

👍👍👍👍

[@Godspeedjosh]

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

[@joseg8498]

Eau fraiche was amazing. Too bad covid stole its thunder

[@paris.enigma]

Y Ash, just Y.

[@pugggs]

Why are you yelling in your opening?

[@937-b3o]

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

[@joseesteves1309]

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

[@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
