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.

The community verdict
Lavender and sage give Y Eau de Parfum Intense a clean, herbal heart after a ginger, juniper and bergamot opening; vetiver and cedar follow. Most find it long-lasting with moderate projection. Its refined, masculine feel fits autumn evenings, while spring days work too.

The house
More from Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent opened as a French couture house in 1961 and added perfume to its work in 1964. The scents have a taste for contrast. Sweet coffee and vanilla sit on one side of the range, cool lavender, bergamot and geranium on the other, with cedar and vetiver keeping both grounded. Black Opium is where most people begin: a dark, sugary coffee accord smoothed with vanilla. Libre sets white flowers against lavender and citrus, crisp and a little severe. Y Eau de Parfum is the fresh, aromatic pick over woods, and Opium Pour Homme is warmer, softly spiced and powdery with a dry, herbal twist.
