A fragrance definitely for casual wear and daytime use. It doesn’t have too much projection or durability; you’ll need more sprays to feel it. The opening is delicious and in the dry-down that subtle orange with a slightly alkaline and strange note predominates which fascinates me… But I don’t know what note it is. Just for that note, it stops being a run-of-the-mill lotion. 8/10.
‘Y’ for everyday? Eau de Toilette: Scent and development. Upon taking the bottle out, ginger shows its attractive side at first: slightly sharp, wrapped in a pleasant-smelling ambroxan and a light sweetness. As it moves to the heart phase, the ambroxan and sweetness remain while lavender completes a soapy accord that faintly recalls L’Homme from 2006 and isn’t surprising, since this proposal comes from the same perfume house and the same perfumer. Finally, in the base, the one responsible for the fragrance’s sweetness is revealed: vanilla; this becomes apparent because it gives a very light plastic sensation that doesn’t detract from being tasty. The reformulation done to the firstborn from 2017 improves its olfactory profile, making this new member of the family a Swiss knife worthy of sitting on the throne of blue perfumery. ORIGINALITY: Without taking into account that it’s just a twist on the first Eau De Toilette, the proposal is totally original as previously to the release of the Ys, no similar scents existed. Although it has been indicated that some facets recall certain blue fragrances, the base of ‘Y’ in its entirety masterfully renews the profile of the all-rounder that were previously on the market and from which, multiple perfume houses began to hang on to its success. CLIMATE: It’s an all-rounder that works at any temperature. However, if you have a taste for the base of ‘Y’, I recommend using it at temperatures between 20 and 30°C and complementing it with the following flankers: Le Parfum at temperatures below 20°C and above 30°C, Eau Fraîche. VERSATILITY: It works effectively as a signature fragrance for informal to semi-formal situations. It’s ideal for all ages: from young people who wish to convey modernity with a casual imprint to adults who seek a refined option to accompany an impeccable shirt. PERFORMANCE: At a temperature of 20 to 25°C and applying 5 sprays (one on each side of the neck, one behind each ear, and one at the nape), the bottle of batch ’38UD02W’ with a manufacturing date of ‘December 2021’ offers: -Longevity: 6 to 7 hours. -Projection: during the 1st hour it projects to arm’s length, from there it drops and stays at shoulder distance until the 3rd, stays close to the skin almost by the 4th, and from there on it’s skin-level until disappearing by the 6th or 7th hour. -Trail: the scent leaves a trail while walking during the first hour and a half. At a temperature of 25 to 30°C and applying the same sprays, the previous bottle offers almost the same performance, only that the projection increases slightly the first hour, and the longevity goes from 5 to 6 hours, especially when approaching 30°C. REFORMULATIONS: I haven’t been able to compare bottles from other batches, so I don’t have information. DO YOU RECOMMEND BUYING IT? Of course, don’t hesitate if you’re looking for a signature fragrance, versatile, and that conveys modernity. I consider it the best in a world where Dior’s casual proposals are becoming less exclusive day by day or where Chanel’s classic imprint can feel formal; Yves Saint Laurent hits the nail on the head with Dominique Ropion to obtain the best of both houses and still give it its own identity. It’s worth noting you value it very well before buying, as the perfume house it comes from tends to maintain high prices versus those options that have been on the market for years. Finally, I add some options you can consider if you like the scent and that could complement your perfume rotation: -Brighter opening, less sweetness, and ideal for hot climates: Eau Fraîche. -The longevity and base of the EDT, with apple, slightly sweeter and equally versatile: Y Eau De Parfum. -Brighter opening, more sweetness, and ideal for cold climates: Y Le Parfum.
After 3 months of use, with approximately 80ml, I’m making this review. The opening is very aldehydic, fresh, and generic, similar to many; it keeps that scent projecting for 1 hour and then it fades. Here is where that excessive load of Frankincense, ambergris, and very, very underneath, the vanilla comes in. It’s strange; I bought it for summer because of the freshness of the previous version, but in this one, the dry-down is totally opposite; it would suit the other seasons and nights better. These same dominant base notes make me have to use it casually, when what I was looking for was a sporty vibe. Reviewers only guide themselves by the opening notes and don’t talk about the dry-down; no channel comments on that.
Longevity on my skin is barely 1 hour. I was eagerly waiting for this fragrance and the truth is I’m disappointed, mostly due to its longevity. The only good thing is the projection and the smell. It’s a good recommendation only if it has good longevity on your skin; if not, don’t buy it.
@huwzem-qawmu1-kaBhor Read the latest forum comments before buying a fragrance; it’s always good. We’ve been saying for a long time that this doesn’t last at all, that you have to buy the EDP.
Honestly, I preferred it over the EDP and I have no regrets about doing so. It’s a very undervalued jewel by people who prefer its brother. It’s ideal for a hot day; I detect a note of sweet melon so soft but in its perfect proportion. I could consider it the best perfume for the spring-summer transition and even for a day of no more than 30 degrees Celsius at most. As for longevity on my skin with 6 sprays, it’s around 6 hours, no more. Its trail is a wonder. I consider it a personal enjoyment scent; the people I’ve made smell this define it as sexy. I recommend it 100%, but I recommend you try the other YSL Ys.
Read this review to see if it convinces you. If you’re wondering if it’s worth buying, yes, definitely. It’s a fragrance I own, I’ve tested it every opportunity, and without a doubt, it’s one of the best. I’ve used it to go to work and it works; it lasts the whole day with 4 sprays (two on clothes and two on the neck) and stays on the clothes until the next day. I’ve used it at night to go out to the club and with 8 sprays (five on clothes and three on the neck) it projects a lot, lasts quite a bit all night, and even the next day you can still smell it. In heat, it’s very good; in cold, too. Without a doubt, it’s a recommended purchase if you like the scent; it has a lot of similarity in the dry-down to the EDP, I could say it’s identical, but the opening of this 2022 EDT is much richer in my opinion. In conclusion: despite being an EDT, this reformulation lasts a long time on clothes and skin if you have a good pH. I recommend it blindly if you’re a lover of blue fragrances. To answer your question about whether this 2022 EDT version and the EDP are better, until now, the 2022 EDT lasts longer than the EDP and its opening isn’t as heavy, pleasing much more.
Right now, it’s the best in the Y line. They reformulated it for the better, unlike its sister, the EDP. I found the new Intense very serious and Le Parfum projects nothing. This is my favourite right now; it works very well for everyday wear and for spring-summer. Good performance without being excessive.
It opens fruity and spicy, then a geranium and lavender aldehydic tone arrives, taking up almost all the weight, alongside a potent soapy ginger note. This lasts through almost the entire development before ending in a compendium of musky and ambroxan cedar. You can tell that, within its simplicity, it has a certain complexity and is less natural than a green dog. That much-talked-about laboratory touch in this collection, I notice it, I’ll notice it, and I’ll never forget it in my life. Although I confess I love it; it gives that character some call ‘mineral’ or metallic that doesn’t shout too much. Less than Camarón and more than Evaristo Páramos, just to be clear. Somewhere in between. It’s an interpretation of blue fragrances trying to head towards Creed Aventus-style scents, but only in the opening, which is what sells the most. Then it goes another way: a more modern fougère. If you hate the typical ultra-generic amber/ambroxan that inhabits the shelves of perfumeries today and want to try something also ultra-generic (it’s clear YSL hasn’t spent two pence on the liquid) but with grace, without so much cloying ambroxan or amber, this is a good option. And for summer, you don’t even need to tell me. Longevity is between 5 and 7 hours with contained projection. If you overapply too much, you risk liking it too much and, when you come to buy it again, they’ve reformulated it the next month. Because at YSL they are that cheeky. Oh, and who might be interested, it’s a compliment magnet, not a…
I have a 10ml decant and I must say it’s a very rich perfume. The opening is quite similar to the YSL Y EDP, with good projection and longevity.
I was absolutely blown away when I first tried this ‘Y Eau de Toilette’. Upon smelling it, I thought I’d missed something and sprayed it on again until I spotted the Lenny Kravitz photo and realised he’s promoting the EDP; what I tested didn’t even fit with him. It’s not bad and I doubt anyone would dislike it, but it feels excessively generic. I didn’t detect any aldehydes; it has a citrus opening, a floral heart, and a woody touch, but what stands out is a sweetened ambergris with a faint vanilla. Thanks to that ambergris not being as intrusive or artificial as in other current products, the overall impression is decent, but I feel the scent lacks effort, care, or a bit of cheekiness. It has good projection and longevity, which is a plus. In my opinion, it’s not worth the price; there are much cheaper and more interesting options for those who enjoy modern or youthful fragrances. They shouldn’t be competing in the ‘Y’ league, yet they do and win effortlessly. For instance, Antonio Banderas’ The Icon collection came to mind (mind you, I’m not saying they’re identical). Anyway, I see many people like it, and that’s fine.
When I first applied it and during the first hour, I thought I wouldn’t pay even 40 euros for the 100ml. The scent is bland, boring, generic, and timid. However, indoors, it started emitting a smell that reminds me of my beloved Pour Monsieur Concentré, but with a very synthetic tinge that, 11 hours later, still annoys me. On the skin, it smells faint; I think it’s mostly because of its longevity on clothes… Supima cotton, just in case, hehe… I wonder if I should change my clothes now.
If you’re looking for the MOTOROLA team perfume, it’s this one.
In my opinion, it’s very good: slightly sweet, herbal, and fresh. Excellent for every day and very versatile. Good longevity and projection.
I expected more. I tried it today and it seemed overly synthetic and slightly sharp to me, for some reason. The dry-down improved a bit, but I still don’t fully like it. I was looking for something versatile and it was recommended, but it hasn’t worked for me, even though it seems others do, so I’ll give it another go. The performance is good; it lasts quite a while and projects moderately. If you like it, it’s a good option. Scent: 4/10, Longevity: 8/10, Projection: 6/10, Versatility: 8/10, Price: 5/10. Personally, I wouldn’t buy it, but that’s just my opinion.
Opinion 2023 / December: A fragrance very similar to the Y EDP. I’d say it’s a Y EDP with less green apple presence, slightly toned down in that aspect. It remains sweet and punchy; in extreme heat, the sweetness might become a bit suffocating.
Honestly, I confuse this 2022 EDT with the original Y from 2017, which I loved. This version, gifted to me in 100ml, is similar, perhaps a little weaker with less declared fruit, though I can still detect pineapple, apple, and violet. The liquid is clear and transparent; upon application, it smells of bergamot with a soft spice (ginger) and a sweet fruity touch from the aldehydes. The middle is floral, featuring geranium and soft lavender. The final, which arrives around three hours before fading, is dominated by salty marine ambergris, contrasting with a faint vanilla, cedar, and an incredible resinous incense note at the very end. It doesn’t last long on the skin and projects moderately. I apply it to my clothes and use a lot to compensate. It’s soapy, fruity, spicy, floral, and very pleasant, but in these tests it appears weak. It’s a more citrusy and subtle version than the other Ys. I’ll keep testing it, but it’s definitely a daytime, striking, fresh, and very agreeable scent.
What a complete fragrance; it gives you everything you’re looking for. The 2022 EDT version, while sharing the same DNA, shines brighter and feels more youthful. The opening is delicious and the dry-down has improved. The reformulation was a blessing: it lasts incredibly long, projects well, and endures the entire workday (six hours at one metre without reapplying), leaving a delightful trail. If you’re looking for a few perfumes, this is your all-rounder: longevity, projection, scent, compliments, and a standout bottle. I picked it up at a good price and would buy it again. Highly recommended. Scent: 8.5/10, Projection: 8.5/10, Longevity: 9/10.
It smells almost identical to Azzaro Chrome United.
The opening and mid-notes are a delight, but the dry-down kills me: it smells of pure, metallic ambergris.
Excellent fragrance. When the reformulation came out, I received many compliments. Longevity is excellent, suitable for work or parties. Scent: 8/10, Longevity: 8.5/10, Sillage: 9/10, Projection: 9/10. I recommend it 100% from personal experience, greetings to the future buyer.
I sprayed it on my skin and clothes about twenty times at 1pm; by 10pm I could still smell it and those who came close to me could detect it.
Batch 2023: for me, it wins by a landslide against the favourite Y EDP. This formulation is less strident at the start and the ambroxan is right up front, making it perfect for daily wear, evoking freshly ironed clothes with a youthful aroma. Suitable for any occasion: moderate performance on skin but on clothes it’s absolutely crazy for longevity. If you want a single scent for everything, it’s a magnificent option.
I bought it blind because I caught a whiff of it and loved the citrus opening. However, in daily wear, the base notes such as ambergris and incense come across as very strong (they dominate). Don’t get me wrong: it’s a good, fresh fragrance, those close to me love it, and I’ve received compliments. But you must enjoy those strong base elements; I recommend testing it on your skin before buying to see if you like the dry-down.
I began my perfume journey by chance with this. I knew little and followed my instincts; I was looking for something fresh for the heat and found the Y line from YSL. I tried both the EDT and EDP, but the YSL Y EDT captivated me. I didn’t know at the time it was the 2022 version until I did some research. I’ve already bought it three times and I’m just as fascinated each time. It’s perfect for daily wear: it doesn’t overwhelm, but it attracts glances and provokes compliments. The strange thing is that it doesn’t seem to resemble any other popular designer fresh scent, except for the flankers in the Y line, and yet they are all different. My advice: if you want to smell different and the heat is extreme, buy the EDT; the EDP is worn by many. Scent: 10/10, Longevity: 7/10 (9/10 on clothes), Sillage: 8/10 (Personal experience).
⚠️A note for those who can’t stand ambroxan: this Y EDT 2022 is heavily loaded with it. In terms of performance, it’s brilliant, but for us, it’s poison, kryptonite, and a stake in the heart. I suggest avoiding it and running like the plague. Salu2
I tried this before the popular Y EDP, and honestly, I received more compliments with this one. I used it a lot in summer for night outs, and I think that’s exactly what it’s best suited for. The EDP is versatile but darker, perhaps not ideal for very hot climates. If you’re looking for something for the heat, go for the EDT; if you want one scent for everything, choose the EDP; and if you can have both, even better, as they are distinct.
Alongside Polo Blue EDP and Versace Pour Homme, these are the best options for the heat: they never fail. Perhaps they aren’t the most novel, but their quality is proven. Of the three, this one has the most youthful touch. Of course, they don’t smell the same, but they are super versatile.
Very similar to its sister Y EDP, but I find it fresher, ideal for spring and summer.
The opening is a zesty citrus blast with a spicy kick; a true all-rounder perfect for spring and summer. Longevity and sillage are moderate, yet even as it dries down it retains that freshness, finishing with a very subtle sweetness that makes it unique.
Refreshing simple and clean. If you use this you’ll never be told you smell bad. Perfect for the gym school university or the beach. Whatever you do this always looks good.
Spicier due to the ginger and lavender with the cedar more present. Clean and a bit more mature. One could say this is the predecessor of Y Elixir.
I agree it’s for all occasions especially in spring and summer. Refreshing clean and versatile. I don’t share the gender thing; it smells more unisex to me even leaning towards feminine. I bought 100ml I’m halfway through the bottle and I’ll use it because you end up spraying more than you think and it doesn’t clash as it has little trail. As for compliments none which doesn’t surprise me. Don’t misunderstand me: the fragrance is good and of quality. The scent it leaves is very pleasant and accompanies you without being invasive. Basically it smells more like a woman to me and it’s curious that it’s classified as so masculine.
Clean fresh and with a touch of sweetness although it’s not declared. I still notice a bit of pineapple from the previous version. It lasts about 6–7 hours: strong for the first hour and a half then it settles on the skin and when I sweat bursts come out. This version is cleaner and feels higher quality. It smells very similar to the EDP but fresher. Compliments guaranteed.
It smells super clean fresh and with a touch of sweetness. The longevity is decent for this type of fragrance. It’s versatile and fulfils its function: ideal for everyday wear or the gym. It smells good without annoying anyone.
Fantastic fragrance I’m absolutely blown away by this. It’s much better than the Y EDP. It smells of watermelon super delicious and it’s something almost nobody comments on nowadays.
I see nobody talks about this: when a perfume uses cheap ambroxan with cheap vanilla and has nothing resinous to ‘hydrate’ or add warmth the dry down ends up ‘plasticky’. That’s what happens with this scent. It smells rich but the dry down doesn’t convince me. The same happens with Eros EDP and many Arabic perfumes.
I have a small bottle from 2020 before the change and it’s brilliant. The trail on skin lasts a couple of hours and smells great but the longevity is short. I understand it’s an EDT but I manage about 4–5 hours. I haven’t tried the new version but I hope it improves in performance.
A delicious scent with green apple and watermelon marking a light woody tone. It’s simply an aroma that invites intimacy but is very versatile ideal for the beach or light dinners. The trail is moderately good but it doesn’t aim to be brutal; it’s more for personal enjoyment and for your partner.
Note: If you just want to read the opinion skip the introduction. Sometimes we dive into the world of perfume by watching YouTube tutorials to take a firm step into unknown territory. There’s a consensus among YouTubers that Bleu is the infallible universally pleasing prototype. They say Y EDT (2022) is a shrewd reformulation but for me it wasn’t a purchase I’d recommend. Opening: Citrus with a hint of lavender and a difficult-to-identify prickle perhaps due to the cardamom and a slight sweetness reminiscent of Azzaro Wanted or Invictus. It lasts 20–30 minutes. Heart: The lavender and vanilla emerge; the citrus persists and ambroxan and ylang-ylang gradually enter giving it a herbal and fresh touch. This phase lasts 2–3 hours. Base: The final stage leaves a residual citrus sensation; the lavender and ylang-ylang recede into the background highlighting the ambroxan and vanilla. It starts around the third hour and can last until the end. Projection and longevity: It projects well during the first hour in temperate climates if applied to skin and clothes (watch out for stains). The personal bubble lasts about 5 hours but close to the skin I managed to get 12. Personal opinion: Among the blues this is the one I liked the least. They say Sauvage is synthetic but I feel this exceeds that condition. It’s incisive at first and the base vanilla feels low quality; this aligns with other reviewers. I find it ‘plasticky’ and the ambroxan isn’t top-tier either creating a cloying sensation. In fact I’ve felt that vanilla-plus-ambroxan blend in another catalogue fragrance worn by a colleague and it smells better. Scent quality: It’s known that blues don’t seek innovation but this isn’t just unambitious; it’s an amalgam of pleasant notes at the start but without soul or a clear identity. It sounds like market options: in the opening and heart it resembles an Azzaro Wanted or an Invictus with ambroxan. I feel I’ve smelled this profile many times and there are many such catalogue aromas. No surprise. On compliments: I haven’t received any. For me they hold no value; a compliment for you is better than one for a commodity. I have received them for other fragrances; I think this one isn’t innovative enough or perhaps doesn’t suit my personality. It feels like it’s for someone who adores white trainers or sneakers. Finally I sold it. I wanted it to be part of my summer rotation due to the good comments but it just doesn’t work for me. With that money I’d rather buy Mefisto Gentiluomo. Epilogue: I also tried Y EDP and both suffer from the same faults. For my tastes the positive reviews are exaggerated.
