I picked it up and wearing it for the first time today. It actually comes across much darker than on a tester strip. On the tester it smelled fresher and lighter. On skin it went much darker with the juniper berry and lavender. I'm catching Versace Dylan Blue vibes from this wear, just way more refined and smoother. I like it. On the tester strip I liked it more. See how it wears as I try it out this week as we hit the spring temps.
You’re such an elegant woman. I appreciate that about you I think you should always maintain that and never give in to pressure. Be strong in the Lord.
I sampled this twice in a store now and I prefer it to the EDP as well. There was something I didn’t quite like about the EDP so I seldom used it… maybe its the apple note. I’ll be getting the EDP Intense. :)
The EdP Intense will great for anyone who wants a rather twist in the Y-Line, a return to a classic modern masculine woody fougere without the fruity-sweet aspect found in the EdP and Le Parfum. If you wanna smell cooling-fresh, mysterious, sophistcated and business the EdP Intense will be your go-to. There are people in the community who say EdP and Le Parfum are too sweet for them, guess EdP Intense will be a choice for them finally.
I think it gets hate because all the frat boys who loved the previous versions which were more for high school/clubbing, don't really appreciate the more mature style this fragrance. This is a more classy scent that they simply cannot appreciate. When you're young, you want something beast mode that will get you a ton of compliments by girls. Intense is more for the mature male and only those who really appreciate fragrances will find this appealing
You guys adresed my first question that come to my mind when I hear about Y Intense. Why? EDP is intense enought. Good to know it's something diffrent.
I like it, for where I live it'll be a great fall/winter choice. It gets a little heavy on the patchouli deep into the dry down, but I think its solid.
Love the your reviews but was wondering if you could do one for construction workers that work outside. You would be surprised how many of us wear cologne.
If you’re going to purchase this before it hits discounters which could be awhile as there is only a couple places you can even get it now do yourself a favor and spend the extra $25 and get the 100ml it makes no sense to spend $125 for a 60ml when you can get a 100ml for $150
Thats a good comparison actually! Im a loyal BDC fan, but i bought this one today. Love this one already, nice change from BDC. Its less citrussy but definitely fresh and deep like BDC.
Is it backwards to use ysl edp y intense as a 20 year old? So far I like it for casual outings and college. Thinking of getting spicebokb extreme as a night clubbing cologne
I’m not going to dislike this fragrance due to fact I haven’t smelled it but I will stick with ysl y edp parfum only because I personally love apple note in y edp parfum.
I think there’s literally 0 iris in this. It’s probably, highly likely overlap of the chemicals, certain ionones (alpha isomethyl i.) play the iris but also other accords in a different context. I’m not sure we’re talking about the same thing, but I found this to be like a slightly unclean muskiness, especially early on. The other half of the equation may come from especially “sensual“ so sweetish patchouli. But ultimately idk.
Thank you Monika great review I went to my local Macy’s and gave it a sniff absolutely a banger I bought it on spot! Love the minty dry down kind of reminded me of Mr. Burberry just more modern! This one playful grown n sexy ❤✌️
I have both ysl edp and ysl edp intense. and both aren't good in my skin. the intense is so strong and can get annoying. people seem to like it, but I just can't, its too strong. it even stays in my clothing. the edp is more friendly and use it in daytime. like summer. both are very similar but the intense is more for winter. however I don't like neither.
It's really confusing which one is better according to your video cos you keep saying "this one" n "that one". And both bottles looked quite similar. As a layman here I'm confused which one is better? It would be better to say "Intense version" n "Edp version".
@@jasonchavez7564 as a deeper explanation bro this one is way less flirty than the sweet edp but it keeps the freshness and cleaness but it’s more mature and it’s great for an office setting I picked it up today and it’s awesome bro I see alot of people hating on it but prefer this over the rest Y’s
@@jasonchavez7564 ofc bro hope you enjoy but 1 thing to note it lasts like 2 hours less than edp but it’s not a problem as people make it out to be, hope u like it
The best YSL is the eau de parfum. PWAN, Periodt. A girl went to her manager and swapped cubicles just so that she can sit next to me and smell it in the air... So I can confused the shit out of her by wearing a different fragrance everyday until she asked me to keep wearing YSL she called it the ocean blue scent.
I blind purchased YSL Y EDP Intense. I only have one recommendation. Use very sparingly. No more than two sprays total. Any more than that and it will destroy the experience.
I love trying to guess the notes in a fragrance, iris can be really tricky to identify because sometimes it smells soapy, powdery or even like makeup then sometimes it smells like medicine (like in lalique pour homme & Dunhill icon) so it's always a hard one to guess iris. If you think it's soapy or powdery then it could just be cardamom and sometimes the medicinal smell can just be resins like elemi resin and definitely hard to guess iris sometimes because it takes on so many smells and so many other things smell just like it. Personally if I had to guess what you're smelling is actually cardamom + lavender the lavender is probably taking on a soapy powdery smell when combined with the cardamom. Or maybe they're actually just used a very soapy or powdery smelling lavender.
have 200ml of the le parfum and nowhere seems to have the new edp intense in stores to smell yet in the uk. found it on notino but not sure if there's enough of a difference to warrant a blind buy yet
@@880sephiroth yeah it’s one of the most projecting ones I wear! I can’t count the number of people that compliment it, either.. I don’t think I believe the intense is better.. Might try it, or might not.. It’s hard to beat a fragrance that is so successful with great projection, by making a different version of it..
have a few bottles of the edt and it's great for the gym, work and warmer weather... even though it's an edt it lasts and projects really, really well ... check out A.T.H's review of it
best yvs y is EDT version, just like Dior Sauvage... Edp intense doesnt contain Apple, pineapple and ambergris while EDT does. That flanker line is lame.
EdP Intense is a very different fragrance, EdP and Le Parfum are more of kinda-sweet but fruity fougere. The EdP Intense is less fruity-sweet it is more about the dark fresh woods with the fougere aspect, if you wanted a rather modern classic masculine there you go.
it is nothing like YSL Y EDP ( no point in calling it the intense it shouldve been a different name) and it doesnt even smell like the Y, tbh im disappointed becus this is just a money grab its nothing like Y EDP and even tho its different from the EDP it adds nothing to the table it still smells generic.
Doesn't apply to the majority of people 😉 I rather have another flanker with which they kinda playaround or give a different variant of the line. Sure, at some point a very new fragrance can be great but not in such a short time. In fact, with so many fragrances at once blasting out since 2013 creating something very new is difficult. They nailed it with Sauvage, Y and so on of course they will expand their new flagships that until the time has come to go on or create something new for a new decade.
This fragrance proves we need flankers. I don’t like edp or le parfum, too cloying. This one appeals more to me as it is more woody and less sweet. I hate the apple in the others.

Much appreciated.
The YSL Y EDP is hands down the best flanker of all time. The Apple opening, the ginger, plus the lingering olibanum was a killer combo. 💥🔥⚡

You’re such an elegant woman. I appreciate that about you I think you should always maintain that and never give in to pressure. Be strong in the Lord.
Y Le Parfum is my favorite of the line. Might scoop this up. I have a back up of bottle of Le Parfum coming in the next day or so.
I sampled this twice in a store now and I prefer it to the EDP as well.
There was something I didn’t quite like about the EDP so I seldom used it… maybe its the apple note.
I’ll be getting the EDP Intense. :)
Ysl edp Intense is the best from the line. It's perfectly blended. This should've been their first Y!

I find the Intense too pine tree/woody for me. My 24 daughter said it’s a hard NO on skin. She loves Ralph’s Club Parfum. 👊🏼
is this loud like edp or tone down like le parfum?
@@timdane6132 it’s very toned down and smells very soapy probably because of the lavender and vetiver
@Under Cap sh!t, too late, i ordered 60mil now. Its alright, i like the edp and le perfum. Don't know if this is perfect in gym though
@@timdane6132 I have all 3 and they all smell different. I didn’t like the new until yesterday when I caught whiffs of it while moving around
Intense is a better DNA than the EDP. EDP lasts longer but Intense is better balanced with the apple tapered back a bit. Good call Monika
I was wearing the edp when I sampled the Intense, and no question that I liked the Intense much better.
The first time I sprayed this I got a lipstick iris vibe as well! I thought i was hallucinating lol. I love this scent!
I blind bought this I’m sure it will be a good one love YSL
my new best fragrance channel
This is a good scent. I really dont understand why it’s getting so much hate. I even find it superior to the EDP
Same
Agreed 💯
Me too

Because to some of us it smells like a cocktail of chemicals
I have a family and don’t go out as much. Pretty much described me. In my 20s and 30s things were different. Sounds like a winner to me. 🤷🏻♂️
The way you describe the guy buying the colognes is so accurate, I think that’s one of the reasons I’m drifting more towards the intense lol
Bought as soon as i heard it has an iris vibe can’t wait for it to arrive.
I usually prefer the parfum/extrait versions but here, I choose the original EDP. Its sillage is unbeatable.
I like the Intense better than the EDP. I'm still trying to figure out if it beats the Parfum.
I was really surprised with the edp intense. I’m really liking it. I get a cashmere/ fresh linen with incense, and mint at the top. Really nice

Thanks for the review
Y ysl
Thats a good comparison actually! Im a loyal BDC fan, but i bought this one today. Love this one already, nice change from BDC. Its less citrussy but definitely fresh and deep like BDC.
bdc smells great, fresh blue frag. this smells more expensive and woody, a bit less versatile
I love the Original EDP! I might get this new one . 🤷🏿♂️

Ysl Y edp has an amazing opening after some hours has a strange bas note which is rather prominent i dont know what is it. Is it olibanum?
Professional nose will appriciate it but most people will be disappointed for intense version.

The original EDP no longer performs that much. I think it has been reformulated.
Agreed
Wonder if we’ll get a Bleu de Chanel Intense.
Can't wait for my bottle to come in

max 2-3 for me. > 4 it becomes a room filler for me. lol. Great scent tho
im blind buying it tmr
Y is there so many.. they make it impossible to know which one i would like the most, i dont really want to buy 6 samples argh
Monika was a lifeguard ❤
have ysl edp and le parfum, i really thinkin if i will still get this one
Y EDP intense is not better than y EDP - EDP is very unique this is your typical juniper berry cologne with a little bit of Y dna
Tried it, didn’t like it. Le Parfum still remains as the best from the Y line. I even think CH Bad Boy Cobalt is better than this new flanker by YSL
No
If you don’t own anything from the Y line then the intense is a great buy if you own the EDP or the Le Parfum then it’s kinda redundant.
they don’t smell alike. i would say edp and le parfum is similar but this is much more mature/woody
Happy valentines day beautiful!!
The original edp best 👌🏽. le parfum coming in #2. The ladies always asking what is that u wearing 🤤.
Y intense is really a super class and mature fragrence but its lasting is 2 to 3 hours.
I think this is actually the first Y flanker I was disappointed with. All of them get plenty of wear out throughout the year, especially the edp
Y live is pretty uninteresting with horrible longevity
@@Armyguywizerdo16 It’s not my favorite one but it does get the occasional reach. I’ll certainly reach for live over this one.

it’s pretty different than the ysl y edp. but don’t think if you like the og that you’ll like this
it’s surprising really different. opening is better but parfum dry down is better. smells really woody
$148 for 100ml in the states. Insane price.
capitalism
Right! $140 at Macy’s gah-lee
what different of edp and edp intense?
in france we call it just YSL Parfum
What is "this" I wish reviewers would say the name cause some us are away from the screen just listening not looking. So can you not say "this"
y kiler ? on po 3 godzinach jest juz bliskoskórny...
Honestly, for me the EDP version is so much balanced & perfect enough in every aspect that I can’t see any flanker displacing it from its position ..
I got bored of it quick.
@@MarkTomeh same bro
can you get it in turkayi? also please pray for syria and turkish! much love!
I came away from this video confused. I couldn't tell when she was referring to the EDP vs. the EDP Intense. *sad*
Seems basic to me. I get the EDP, minus the apple, ozonic notes, and amberwood. It's basically a lot of juniper and some woody notes.
ysl y edp este bestia
Apart from some aromatics and ginger isn't that basically the whole fragrance 😭
@@joshkarian5379 yep. I honestly regret this purchase. Totally useless. The Le Parfum is different and interesting, but this isn't.
@@FlorinToader the le parfum is literally Eros and ysl y edp
@@FlorinToader not to suggest it isn’t killer, but it isn’t unique or anything in that regard
Definitely no apple in the edp intense.
Which one performs better?
The EDP is the best performer in the YSL Y line.
Better for school?

which one is better for date/netflix & chill?
who else perceives iris?
Monika can you re review layton ?
There are a thousand Layton reviews out there
Creating a new version called intense that is softer than the original…. Makes sense 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Taking out apple and tonka definitely upped the age, giving it a less playful, more mature “intensity”
Le parfum is still the best in the line
I brought a female friend with me to check out ysl y and we both preferred parfum over edp which I thought was interesting
she prefered this one? OR LE PARFUM
So it seems that ysl wont beat sauvage elixir this year too ..
tried it today at macys and i thought it was horrible. you guys must be getting paid by ysl or something.. y edp is million times better than intense
nah not my vibe. It's TOO different from the EDP
Isn't the Le Parfum just better than this? sounds redundant
EdP Intense is a very different fragrance, EdP and Le Parfum are more of kinda-sweet but fruity fougere. The EdP Intense is less fruity-sweet it is more about the dark fresh woods with the fougere aspect, if you wanted a rather modern classic masculine there you go.

Timestamps would be nice
YSL just took out the Apple note vs. the EDP. This is a simple Cash Grab by YSL.
They’re definitely not the same. Basic edp is to me far closer to eros than to bdc compared to this
Ain’t worth the price
Greetings 😎🌯🌮🐄
Dislike the edp intense. Edp is 10 times better.
Right, just make stupid statements before you even have an opportunity to smell it.
We don’t need another flanker. Mainstream is so boring this days.
Doesn't apply to the majority of people 😉 I rather have another flanker with which they kinda playaround or give a different variant of the line. Sure, at some point a very new fragrance can be great but not in such a short time. In fact, with so many fragrances at once blasting out since 2013 creating something very new is difficult. They nailed it with Sauvage, Y and so on of course they will expand their new flagships that until the time has come to go on or create something new for a new decade.
Just stop smelling them.
Stop saying “flanker” it’s disrespectful, it’s a craft, fragrance of its own.
You are on point. It is a gimmick designed to get those with the OG, a huge market to feel dissatisfied and seek out the flanker.
This fragrance proves we need flankers. I don’t like edp or le parfum, too cloying. This one appeals more to me as it is more woody and less sweet. I hate the apple in the others.
Your name like Cambodian
