Decanted Sample of Y EDP by Yves Saint Laurent

I know this is the most popular in the Y line but it has an awfully sharp, synthetic smell. The parfum and intense are much better.

Y is a classic and easy starting point to get into designer frags. There's a reason this is heavily cloned by so many houses. The EDP has enough longevity to get through a work day as it fades to a skin scent. This or one of the many clones is a great addition to any collection.

This is your go anywhere, do anything masculine leaning fragrance. It beings with a sweet, fruity scent that borders on being too cloying, but is quickly settled by woody notes to help balance it out. Very nice.

Absolute 10/10, very fresh with a complex green apple base with some more fruit notes. Cannot go wrong with this at all, price is also amazing, reccomend to anyone

One of my favorite blue scents it almost smells like expensive shower gel with a bit of sweetness to it. Suitable for any occasion best in the heat.

The scent is very fresh to a point where it is easy to wear but enough to due its purpose of giving a nice smell. It’s a likable scent in my opinion

Great fresh, blue scent. Nice apple on the opening. Good projection, longevity is okay. Probably the second-best blue scent behind Bleu de Chanel.

This is my favorite “blue” scent even though I don’t think of it to be one. I fell like it is a super clean scent that smells like super expensive laundry detergent. People hate on this because it’s “too popular”, but I haven’t smelt this once on another person, and I can pick up on things like that. If you haven’t tried this, you need to get a sample.

This scent and the general consensus on it always make me question whether my nose works properly. I hate it. The apple and citrus notes are so sharp that it sort of gives me a headache. It just feels cheap to me, which is weird for a YSL fragrance. For reference, I love MYSLF

This one in my new favorite. I tried a couple clones but nothing beats the legit Y EDP.

Smells great but not great longevity.

Can’t really go wrong with Y Edp. You get a lot of sweet apple on the opening, but nothing overpowering. It has good longevity, and the dry down is great. Just to note: wearing this in heat makes the scent sweeten up a lot more so be wary.

fresh clean smell, gets better after about half hour on.

Was a little surprised that men were complimenting me as well as women, but I'll take all the compliments I can get.

Works just about anywhere day or night. Mass appealing and projects well for 6-7h on my skin. Lasts even longer on clothes. Solid blue fragrance while still being able to stand out.

Fresh, sweet and fruity! It's also very versatile, so I like wearing it in a lot of different scenarios.

I keep getting compliments with this one smells fresh and overall amazing would recommend

My personal favourite blue fragrance so far. Very sharp and fresh. Dries down sweet and green. Youthful leaning but solid for all ages. I recommend Fakhar if you’re on a tight budget and don’t mind a slightly more bubble gum type sweetness mixed in. However, this one is worth sampling since a full bottle is quite expensive.

Smells so good, I love it!
It does not last very long, not even a skin scent by the end of my work day.

Sweet, fresh and fruity. The opening is  very fresh and clean and gives off this blue shower gel scent. Not cheap at all, very rich. The dry down is “greener” and herbal

Anytime anywhere any occasion type fragrance. Sweet yet fresh. Really solid scent just doesn’t have that super refined niche like quality

I have nothing bad to say about Y EDP it is good, it was just alittle boring to me, it is green but not spicy and has a lot of freshness. It is sweet but not too sweet, alittle unisex to me.

It’s a good fresh fragrance,  that would smell good to anyone around you.

Y edp - YSL (7.5/10)
-good, but not great, Nothing wrong with it, there's just better. Man eau fraiche, has warm notes at base, this does not.
- immediate, not great, not terrible.
- smells better after 2 minutes, light scent, aromatic (5/10), aqua (4/10), fresh spice (4/10), green scent (4/10)... its decent
- has a similarity to acqua di gio, which is good, very light, fresh, greenish, slightly fruity(3/10)
- 30 min later, its pretty good, light, a bit floral, i dont dislike it, not sure its "manly" enough for me though.
***compare this w bleu de chanel**
**compare to ultra male**
- dry down is a nice scent

Overall a really good smelling fragrance. Lasts a long time and project well. The smell is really good. One of my favorite fragrances from the line.
