YSL Y Intense EDP 2.0 Fl.Oz

Yves Saint Laurent Y Intense Eau de Parfum (2.0 fl. oz., 60 ml) is a deeper, richer, and more powerful interpretation of the original Y Eau de Toilette. Launched in 2020, Y Intense takes the fresh, aromatic qualities of the original fragrance and intensifies them with more warmth, depth, and complexity, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy a bolder, more sophisticated scent that works for evening wear or colder months.

Fragrance Notes:

• Top notes: Ginger, Apple, Bergamot
• Heart notes: Sage, Juniper Berries, Geranium
• Base notes: Amberwood, Tonka Bean, Cedarwood, Balsam Fir, Oud

Opening: Y Intense opens with a fresh, spicy burst of ginger, bergamot, and apple—a familiar top accord from the original Y EDT, but Y Intense amplifies the energy. The addition of apple gives it a slightly sweeter, more rounded freshness, while the ginger gives the fragrance an invigorating, zesty kick that feels both dynamic and vibrant.

Heart: The heart notes are more aromatic and herbal, with sage, juniper berries, and geranium adding layers of depth. Sage introduces a green, slightly earthy quality, while juniper berries provide a spicy, aromatic aspect. Geranium lends a fresh, floral touch, though it’s balanced and subtle, allowing the spices and woods to dominate the heart.

Base: The base is where Y Intense really differentiates itself from the original Y EDT. It has a more woody, balsamic, and resinous profile, thanks to the inclusion of amberwood, cedarwood, and balsam fir. These woods give the fragrance its depth, while the tonka bean adds a creamy, sweet facet. The surprising inclusion of oud adds a touch of smoky, leathery richness, giving Y Intense a more luxurious, intense character compared to the fresher Y EDT.
