Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP Intense
Y Eau de Parfum Intense is an Aromatic-Fougère fragrance that elevates YSL's iconic signature to a new level of elegance and longevity. Designed for the man who seeks an imposing presence without relying on excessively sweet notes, this creation is a lesson in balance. It opens with a spicy freshness, evolves into a haute couture herbal heart, and is sealed with a deep woody base that exudes authority. Less sweet, more intense, and profoundly magnetic.
Olfactory Profile:
-
Opening: A vibrant, clean, and sharp burst of fresh ginger and juniper berries. By removing the apple note, the opening feels more mature, airy, and distinctly masculine from the very first second.
-
Heart: The soul of the fragrance. An imposing aromatic core where Provencal sage, geranium, and lavender intertwine to provide a herbaceous, sophisticated, and extremely polished texture.
-
Base: A majestic and persistent base of vetiver, patchouli, and cedarwood. The patchouli gives it an earthy and dark depth that ensures superior fixation and a dry-down that denotes status and seriousness.
Character and Performance:
Elegant, robust, professional, and balanced. What defines this Intense version is its consistent projection and extreme longevity. While other versions may be more explosive at the start, the EDP Intense maintains a dense and distinguished personal bubble throughout the day, lasting over 10 hours on the skin and retaining its woody character intact until the end.
Available at Fragantico

Original Bottle (100ml / 60ml): An imposing design piece. The iconic monolithic flask with the embedded metallic "Y" is presented in a deep, dark blue gradient glass, reflecting the intensity and maturity of the elixir it guards.
-
Discovery Decants: 5ml and 10ml sizes. If you love the "Y" line but are looking for a less youthful option more focused on woods and patchouli, a decant is the smart choice to experience this new facet of success before committing to the full bottle.
