Y Eau de Parfum Intense

In 2017, Yves Saint-Laurent created the Y Eau de Toilette, in tribute to modern masculinity, overflowing with creativity. In 2023, a new chapter of this collection is being written. This time, it concerns a man who has achieved his dreams. Y Eau de Parfum Intense is a new symbol of accomplishment. It speaks to men who are comfortable in their own skin and confident in themselves. Presented in a deeper midnight blue bottle, what might this new men's fragrance conceal? A breakdown of its composition.

The spicy, fresh top notes of Y Eau de Parfum Intense

As in its very first version, Y Eau de Parfum Intense by Yves Saint-Laurent opens with a fresh burst of Bergamot. As a reminder, this is a citrus fruit resulting from the crossing of the lemon tree and the bitter orange tree. Sparkling, fresh and floral, Bergamot is always paired with Ginger. Renowned for its aphrodisiac power, this ingredient is also famous for its slightly spicy, peppery scent. From the outset, it lends sharpness to this composition. Where Y Eau de Parfum Intense by Yves Saint-Laurent sets itself apart from its predecessors is above all through the addition of Juniper berries. These are more resinous and woody. They give this fragrance a distinguished flight.

The aromatic heart of Y Eau de Parfum Intense by Yves Saint-Laurent

In its heart, the Y Eau de Toilette gives pride of place to Diva de Provence Lavender, known to be one of the finest varieties in the world. Aromatic and powerful, it evokes the summer atmosphere of gardens in the South, while releasing a slightly vintage character. It brings novelty to this collection. Alongside Geranium, Lavender takes on a slightly peppery aspect. Sage, for its part, adds further depth, revealing more chypre notes, emblematic of oriental fragrances.

The woody base notes of Y Eau de Parfum Intense

Gradually, Y Eau de Parfum Intense by Yves Saint-Laurent gains in intensity and depth. Elegant and sexy, this fragrance holds up perfectly throughout the day, notably thanks to its woody base notes. Cedar reveals its dry, green, masculine breath. It is paired with Patchouli, more earthy and ambery. It is indeed this element that lends a warmer character to this composition, while releasing smoky accents. Finally, Vetiver rounds out this formula. Fougère and vegetal, it is a staple of masculine perfumery endowed with incredible power.

As its name suggests, Y Eau de Parfum Intense by Yves Saint-Laurent is a more assertive, more sensual and bolder fragrance than its predecessors. Its emblematic breath seems to have been amplified. If you found that the Y Eau de Toilette lacked a bit of longevity, you will not be disappointed. Y Eau de Parfum Intense largely corrects this and is designed to satisfy the most untamed masculine personalities.
