Y Eau de Parfum Intense, from Yves Saint Laurent, is sharp and spiced from the first spray, ginger and juniper berries cutting through a flash of bright bergamot citrus. Geranium, sage and lavender settle the middle into something calmer and more herbal. Underneath, vetiver, patchouli and cedar build a dry, earthy woody base that carries the scent to a close. Launched in 2023, it is worn by men and suits someone who wants a fragrance that reads as focused rather than loud. Voters choose it for spring and fall, for both the working day and the evening after it. Most voters call it long-lasting, and the sillage vote is just as clearly moderate. A 10ml decant is enough to carry it through a working month before deciding on the bottle.
