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.
EDP , smells incredible, I wear Creed Aventus ,Portugal, Silver Mountain Water and I get more compliments with this than those much more expensive fragrances
I've been trying scents for a year now and your videos are the best at helping me learn more and finding what suits me. Thanks for your content. I watch every morning before I go to work.
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!!!!
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.
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.
@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
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 !
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
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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 👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@uyokudantai hey man even on fragantica theres a section were people vote for what fragances smell like the one you are watching, its not just my opinion, its like 30% eros but its definitely there and im pretty you dont know either so dont worry about it.
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).
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
If you want a collection the go ahead. But for me Le parfum smells a little bit like the new jean paul gaultier La male le parfum. Just stay w the Y’s you have and buy something different IMO
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.
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.
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).
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
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!
Ok guys!!! I have aquatics for summer daytime. I have the heavies for fall and winter. I like the ysl edp better than bdc edp. Which would be the best choice goto day & night spring, summer and early fall (out for dinner, weekend errands, backyard bbqs?) Turning 50 young at heart. Tia guys
I have 3 bottles of the le parfum and eau fraiche. 2 200 ml of the edp.1 200 ml of the old edt and a new 100ml of the new and 1 bottle of live.i love the Y line!
Great take as always, thanks Ash. Can we get an equivalent for L'Homme and La Nuit as well? There are way too many flankers at this point and I'd love to get your take on which are the best in each case.
I like the smell of y edp the most, but i think that it can be too heavy for school/class, i dont want people choke out. Would you guys prefer me to buy it?
@@thefragrancevol753 thanks for your recommendations but i think i will gonna buy Narciso Rodriguez blur noir edp and Parada Lhomme. There are also great fragrances
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
Any idea if Y EDP got reformulated? I bought a bottle not too long ago and its doesn't last anywhere near as much as everyone says it would. I know there is many factors for one being my own body chemistry but I would also like to ask if anyone knows.
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.

They look at you confused lol?
Say Y Eau de PaFau by Yves San LaHau!

I have the entire collection and enjoy them all but LIVE is my favorite!
I have recently bought Y EDP and it is absolutely my favorite nowadays. So lovely and not plain fragrance!
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
You have really improved these buying guides! Keep the breakdowns just like this! Lots of great info
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.
I love my YSL M7 that I bought over 10 years ago, I don’t want it to end!
I just bought the Eau De Parfum and i’m in LOVE with it
Gonna buy parfum also
The dry down of le parfum is great 🥂

just wondering is the EDP strong ? And how long does it last for ?
@@josec1075 for me it’s strong enough to last all day (8 hours etc)
Wow, this guy is hands down the best cologne reviewer on youtube.
Have been waiting for this fragrance guide. 👍🏻
Thanks Ash! 🙏🏻

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.
@@dazzac74 fr I spray like 7-9 times man, i gotta let it be known what I’m wearing
I spray edp 2 times it clears a room out it’s really strong! Lots of compliments though

The EDP is a monster. 1 or 2 sprays does the trick which means your bottle will last ages
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of this line and have a blessed day
Thanks for the video Ash. I'm missing Yves saint Laurent for my collection. You earned a Sub.
Great review, analysis and video quality. I really like this type of videos
Y EDT is super underrated.
most likely because everyone loves to fill rooms with edp frags💀
No it’s not it’s perfectly rated the only people that say that are the people that regret buying it
Edt is better than edp imo. Just fresher and not too sweet.
@@Rabe97
Actually, I think it’s underrated.
Great video! I really enjoy these fragrance guide videos!

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.
Y Eau Fraiche is my favorite in the line
I like the fragrance line guides vids!

@@thegoodfoke3606 thanks! I think you sold me. Both might be the way to go.
@@thegoodfoke3606 it smells nothing like Eros which is a pure trash. Le Parfum is on the other level

I love edp on other people but I cannot smell it on myself after 1h. I am pretty sure I Just get noseblind really quick with ysl Y edp
Its a real problem. Everyone loves it except the wearer.
If I could choose to have 1 entire line of fragrances for free, this would be the line I would choose. YSL did a FANTASTIC job here
I'd choose the Dior Homme line
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
I compared them all and their base smells the same to me! EDT just fades a little bit faster.
eau de parfum is their best. the scent reminds me or original polo blue but it lasts longer.
How about givenchy gentleman buying quide
Y le parfum is a beast!
My wife loves the EDP. She’s been wanting me to try it
Happy wife. Happy life.
The last one is my favorite I’ve got a lot of compliments on it
Y EDT & Y EDP smell so similar I can’t tell them a part. Is it worth getting Le Parfum if I have Y EDP?
no
1. Bruh, how?
2. No, unless you're like me and striving to be able to one day build up a collection like Ash has right now
If you want a collection the go ahead.
But for me Le parfum smells a little bit like the new jean paul gaultier La male le parfum. Just stay w the Y’s you have and buy something different IMO
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.
Y Edp is great for spring,winter and fall. Not for summertime imo !!
I have Y EDP and I love it. I feel it’s an evening fragrance, daytime during fall. Let’s start the video now.
People sometimes say this is more of a daytime fragrance, and I'll never understand Y...
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.
Jazz is the best?
Edp and parfum is the best to me
Nailed this line perfectly, Ash. Not surprisingly, of course! 🤘
Only ever bought the EDP. I kiiiiinda want to try the Toilette for this season
Same haha i’ve been wanting to try y live and the edt
@@tyler_7749 Fraiche and Live aren't even available at my retailer 😂 EDT, EDP, LP. Those or nothing
Do it.
@@St_Mindless well i know fraiche is discontinued. You arent able to buy them online?

I am going to buy my first ,,expensive‘‘ Fragrance and I have to choose between ysl edp and luna ross black…can you help me pls
Y edt better in the summer y edp better in winter
Ordered the Y EDP today
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
Y EDT is soooo refreshing
Le parfum is my favorite
I like ysl y edp. How much is ysl y le parfum right now?
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!
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 :)
Le Parfum is my favorite
Thank u I have the EDT … and really wanted to know more about the others .. great breakdown thanks 🙏🏾
Can u use edt for school if you're 15 years?
Could you suggest me some fragrances which I can wear in hot weather (38° C)? It should be pleasant and long lasting as well.❤
EDP YEEEE. All the fragrances I buy no matter what house they are from i always buy the EDP versions.
What if the toilette doesn’t have the brand printed? Just a plain bottle with the cap being labeled.
Is that a fake?
Yes
Edp or EDT for strong summer?
Much appreciated for your work Ash, muchas gracias ;)
Hii, does Y EDP survive and project in high humidity and heat, especially in places like Bombay ( India)? Also, how are the latest batches? Thanks
2 sprays of Y EDT the same as one spray of EDP?
How much does the smell change with more water? (EDT)
I don't think I get along with the Bergamot Blast (what I can the Y EDP opening) so it's Le Parfum for me
Ok guys!!! I have aquatics for summer daytime. I have the heavies for fall and winter. I like the ysl edp better than bdc edp. Which would be the best choice goto day & night spring, summer and early fall (out for dinner, weekend errands, backyard bbqs?) Turning 50 young at heart. Tia guys

3 bottles of Eau Fraiche... I like it 😉
thats the way to go! getting backup bottles of the edp and y le parfum before they reformulate them and make them weaker is key, fantastic fragances.
New subscriber! I get the feeling I've unknowingly stumbled into an expensive hobby haha
What is the batch of Y edp? Which year is?
Hi Ash i love these buying guide videos keep them coming👍👍👍👍
Great take as always, thanks Ash. Can we get an equivalent for L'Homme and La Nuit as well? There are way too many flankers at this point and I'd love to get your take on which are the best in each case.
Y Le Parfum or Azzaro The Most Wanted or Jean Paul Gautier Le Male Le Parfum? Which should I pull the trigger on?
I bought them all, Y choose? 😊
Out of those, it would be le Male le Parfum for me!
I haven't really known the scent of fragrance too far, but so far Y edp is the most overrated smell in my opinion
Yo Ash, could you do a video on atomizers people sleep on?
And also atomizers so bad they should have been splash?
I like the smell of y edp the most, but i think that it can be too heavy for school/class, i dont want people choke out. Would you guys prefer me to buy it?
Buy it for evenings not class/office
With this line you have two options:
1. Buy the new EDT
2. Get the Eau Fraiche from Nordstrom Rack ASAP
Both are great options
@@thefragrancevol753 thanks for your recommendations but i think i will gonna buy Narciso Rodriguez blur noir edp and Parada Lhomme. There are also great fragrances

What notes create the “bubble gummy” character as found in Invictus?
Thing about getting y le parfum but not wanting to pay that price might wait
