Y Intense
Y Intense by Yves Saint Laurent is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with lavender, sage and juniper berry, moves into geranium and dries down to patchouli. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Sage Dry, herbal and slightly bitter. Adds a grown-up, aromatic edge.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
