I don't think I've ever heard someone heap so much praise on something and then close by saying: "No, I don't like it" 😄 Hey, you know my man is definitely honest in all facets of his reviews!
I think this is the best "blue" fragrance, particularly because it's not traditionally blue - i.e., it's pretty green. However, it doesn't really last superbly on me, six hours, and most fragrances last forever on me. That's how long La Nuit de l'Homme lasts on me. Excellent review, thanks!
I have all the popular, so-called blue scent. However, this is certainly the most interesting and good scent. Longevity and projection, without competition, lasts more than 10 hours, the first 4 hours projecting very powerfully.
@@sulaimanaljabari BDC parfum and Y edp happen to be the most amazing blue frags i have ever smelled in my life, id add ADG profumo to the mix but i dont know if it is or not a blue frag, i guess not since it is extremely dark smelling while the two i mentioned are very very fresh
I always appreciate the way in which I come away from your reviews with a good sense of the quality, value and overall vibe of a fragrance, while not feeling as though I've been steered toward or away from it in any way. I hope you can manage to continue doing this RU-vid thing in the same manner.
ATH i just ordered it 6 hours ago. This has monstrous projection and long lasting power. I thought you might not like it ( before the review) as this is quite simple blue fragrance. Glad that you appreciated the blend for what it stands for. Cheers
I first got this 2 years ago and performed like a machine! Recently ordered a new bottle because I’ve ran out. Does it still perform for at least 12 hours and project for around 4 ?
I had one from 2019 and it’s performance was amazing 12 hours easy. Just bought a 2021 batch and it’s performance is half of that. I think it’s been reformulated. Which year is yours from ?
bro same, if you overspray this it can really turn you off because its over powering,. i just broke it out after not spraying it for a while and sprayed a bit on my arm and it smellls very nice.
@@ps3Rambo21 I like it but at this point I find it too overpowering and cloying for my nose. Still a great versatile and very people pleasing scent nonetheless
@@scentiment_ same, i actually put mine on ebay last night. smells nice at first but when i wear it its all i smell. it makes me want to run to the sink and wash it off.
@TheJancharles thsts your opinion. Depends what you mean by "beat" if you're talking material and ingredient wise probably. Performance/compliment wise? Debatable. I have PDM's that last less than this. Really an odd comment by you
@TheJancharles just seemed like an odd comment. Why compare a designer performance with niche performance? Like, no shit. Lol I will say this ysl y edp last longer than a great deal of pdm and some creed.
I went to the store for a second time to try it today. Just to walk around with it and experience it throughout the day. I actually very much agree with Aaron... it's just too metallic, sharp and kind of bitter. It really doesn't speak to me... even though I really wanted to like it... hence I went to try it again. So this is not for me... but a different YSL scent that I REALLY dig is La Nuit De L'Homme Bleu Electrique... now that one is lovely!
Im new to the fragrance world and i went into Macys wanting to smell the Y for men EDT/EDP cause i heard so many good things. I heard how great the EDP was but I too wasnt too crazy about it. i did love the EDT though! I wear it all the time and it lasts forever!
It’s not my favorite fragrance, but it’s gotten me the most compliments of any fragrance I own. It’s projects and lasts for awhile. for some reason I go nose blind to it after 2 hours. But everyone else can smell it for 8 hours.
I’ve gotten a lot of compliments, but I really dislike it. Well, I let my friend spray some on and I smelled it in the air an hour later off of him and I liked it. Same thing with cdnim
This definitely a compliment getter my hot coworker loves and always compliment me when I wear this I have also received compliments randomly definitely blind buy worthy
A few months ago, I bought YSL "Y" "LIVE" which is the flanker I preferred most after testing it, in comparison with the "Y" EDT and "Y" EDP. I found it more balanced without that crispiness. Thanks again Aaron for another nice and interesting review!!
This is my all time favourite. Nothing smells on par with this it's absolutely amazing performance is solid COMPLIMENT MONSTER if there ever was one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Adela - Versace Eros EDP, Paco Rabanne Invictus Intense, Dior Sauvage EDP, Guerlain L'homme ideal EDP, Bvlgari Aqva Atlantiqve. These have pulled me the most. Aventus is great too, but it seems to be liked more by Men than women
Just a beginner trying to learn and educate myself in perfumery. So please forgive and bear with my ignorant attempts to describe my impression of Y EDP. I love the opening, what I call a Sage Bomb opening, sort of reminds me of Axe Apollo Shower gel (Cedar and Sage) but of course way higher quality. But in the dry down it changes quite a bit to what I, with my ignorant nose, would deem a predominate floral note. I know I don't mind floral notes as background, though here it seemed so strong, and bitter, grating, ruling the dry down. Would that be the middle note of geranium I am smelling? Whatever note it is, I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. Btw, your channel is fascinating, the depth and nuance with which you go into the notes. I feel even more ignorant after watching your videos, but I mean this as a compliment to you. You inspire one to learn each fundamental note and recognize them. Now, achieving that is quite difficult practically speaking, but well worth pursuing. Thanks again!
@@johnkar9657 It’s because EDPs have high amounts of alcohol which gives the projection. Parfum has higher oil content wherein it lasts longer but it’s close to the skin that you don’t know it but other people will smell it on you but not as amplified as an EDT and EDP which has high alcohol content.
Fantastic review dear Aaron, I received it as a gift and don't have projection ,maybe 30 minutes on my skin and stays as a skin scent for 5 hours but much more on cotton shirts,like 9 hours but I don't like the synthetic bitterness in it ,I change it with a friend against a cheaper but delicious and lasting fragrance :Toy boy from Moschino.👍🏆
All I smelt was just another blue frgrance to my untrained nose. The strength was decidedly weak on me too but I do appreciate I was wearing it in the middle of Winter. Maybe my preference is now moving away from safe fragrances now and time to move to some more characteristic scents?
This is one that is definitely made for me. I've been testing all the modern perfumes I can get my hands on. Nothing has come close up Y edp. Is it the best YSL? Far from it but it does stay unique enough within the market and it stands out. I thought it would be a shower gel scent. I was left with a salted ambergris and sweet tonka bean on my skin. Absolute heaven. I've decided to buy this over Armani Code parfum.
I have this one, to me it's a very great fragrance you want to pull out for spring time. I find it behaves extremely different on skin vs. clothes, with substantial transformation from the opening to the dry down. Might just choose to wear tomorrow now, great review !
That was over a year ago. I was nervous and had zero confidence in my abilities. Being dyslexic I can mix words up. I might say green and mean blue. Then correct it. But since then I feel 99% people on my channel are very nice and supportive. The next three reviews were filmed a week ago. I feel relaxed, calm and happy and I think it shows. Thank you for the nice comment. Have a great evening
2:33 You say "it has oakmoss raw materials". I thought Oakmoss was eliminated and restricted from use in nearly all fragrances a decade or more ago because of it being such an allergen for some people. Many fragrances were reformulated because of it and some fragrances DNA, projection, and longevity were permanently affected and altered because of it. I know there are various alternatives, and some countries or small perfume houses may not abide by this. But from what I understand, all of the major houses that produce worldwide sokd designer fragrances, aren't using actual Oakmoss and haven't since roughly 2010-11
Hello Mr Aaron , congratulations on your 25K subscribers, I would imagine you over the moon. I will love you to review Mancera I hear a lot of it nowdays. I have to be wise with my money before spending it. Thank you for nice content and your work is deeply admirable. Send you my love, be healthy and safe.
This post is ironic, this is the current fragrance I am falling absolutely in love with! It smells like the vintage Bath & Body works Juniper breeze; green, fresh, fruity, uplifting, sexy. Uplifting scents/ & sage notes are my favorite 2 smells other than mint. I LOVE how nothing about this smells harsh & metallic like these other blue scents. Amazing fragrance. Spring clubbing scent for sure.
Would love to hear your take on the newer Le Parfum version. Seems like it has some of the added improvements you wished this EDP had. Love the Parfum!!
I agree on your comment. The smell is not consistent. The best smelling part disappears quickly and comes the drydown as you explained. I think YSL Y Live is consistent with regard to the smell. If you want the opening to last long, Y Live is the perfume for you.
Hey Aaron. Big fan. I always go for your review and buy or don’t buy. Can you in the future please review Clive Christian, maybe rock rose or any other?
after watching a few of your videos - i realize you have a very deep understanding and possess an amazing amount of knowledge of how things are put together !! you have a strong confidence from within paired with a very informative tone of smooth and suave that is easily digestable for everyone to weigh the pros and cons - while giving your honest in depth point of view.. it is quite incredible.. and i feel like your uniqueness stands above & beyond apart from MOST * if not all * other fragrance reviewers on youtube !! i really appreciate the efforts of the breakdown thru your explanations .. i definitely subscribed ! if anything to improve on moving forward.. maybe suggest the season the fragrance might be most suited / optimal for. thank you so much aaron. all the best in 2022 !
Super long lasting, got a spray at a mall on a test strip on a sunday. At wednesday morning it still has a hint of the perfume left that you can detect. This fragrance is fresh but also has a couple of sweet notes that makes it very long lasting.
This one doesn’t blow my mind I don’t think it’s impressive just a clean simple blue fragrance in my opinion . I still think blue de Chanel is the best blue fragrance I’ve ever smelled in addition to Dylan blue
The Le Parfum in this line is much more natural smelling and beautiful to my nose. It goes on for days on my skin, leaves a bubble but doesnt project however, quite a big deal for most fragrance afficionados.
@@saycheese2162 It’s true. You can even throw in all the L’Homme flankers as well. I’m not trolling, either. Not a lot of wins for YSL lately other than Y edt & edp sales. I’m only referring to men’s releases; Libre did big numbers recently, and Black Opium has always been a hit for women.
You have great,what i like to call "radio voice",so easy and pleasant to listen. YSL Y Edp is one of my favourites,and i get grazy good performance out of it🔥
People talks good about this line, especially the edt and Y live, and edp, too. Y live seemed very youthful, fruty once I smelled it. But sometimes you want something happy and shiny to put on, less serious. Liked very much the review.
Please review the new Ysl Y Le Parfum. I saw reviews that the dry down is much better and it is darker with tonka and lavender notes. Interested to hear your expert opinion on it. Thanks for all of the insightful reviews.
Always great reviews. I do like this fragrance as a dumb reach, smells nice but nothing groundbreaking. Longevity is great too. Solid score there Aaron 👍🏼
This fragrance gave me the most amount of compliments in such a small time BUT, I couldn’t stand it. It was a chore to wear for me. I stopped wearing it for people . I got rid of it so to being so screechy and artificial .
This fragrance is absolutely one of the best designer fragrances. Projects like a godly beast on me. I can spray in the morning and it will project all day AND cuts through bad smells. I’m a first responder so I have to have something that cuts through peoples smelly homes, stinky nursing homes, dialysis clinics, partners random cigarette breaks (which I hate with a passion). Lol. This fragrance does it all for me. I don’t have a signature scent but it is definitely top 5 pick if I want to make an impression.
@@dewix2062 about 10-12, my skin just drinks cologne, so i couldnt tell you how itd react longevity-wise, if youre the kind of person that can have 3 sprays and go about your day, if i spray like 3 sprays on me total, its almost guaranteed to be a invisible skin scent
Yo Aaron, will you be reviewing any Bond No.9, Mancera or Tiziana Terenzi fragrances in the future? They’re “pricey” so I’d love to hear your take on them - and I’m sure many others would too. Thanks dawg!
Newbie here so I'm potentially very mistaken but are you reviewing Y Le Parfum or Y EDP? Looks like Le Parfum. Follower and subscriber. Love your reviews 👌
I accidentally left this fragrance in my car's glove compartment for 3 days so it's been exposed to probably north of 150°F/65°C temperatures. What compounds within the perfume have been compromised and what impact would it have on the scent? Thanks
Hey Aaron. Love to hear your reviews from India. Would love to see you review Prada Amber Pour Homme. Combination of amber, saffron, labdanum, patchouli, cardamom. Let's see if you like it.
This is too strong in terms of projection and last a very long time. Seldom wear it because it's too much for me. I'd go for one spray only (maybe half sprays on each inner forearms) the next time I wear it if that ever comes up.
As a girl, I agree with too sharp. So sharp it pierces through my nose. Compared to this the neww Y Le Parfum has less sharpness, but lacks personality. Doesn't wow me. Still want to smell La nuit de L'homme EDT and the new Bleu electrique. And Guerlain's homme idéal. Want to give one as a present. By now Bleu de Chanel EDY was winning, but it didn't last, so the EDP is on my list too smell. Oh, and Bentley Intense.
The perfume is very strong, but I felt like it's very boring and I kinda of hate it. I can't stand it and get a headache from wearing it. I gave it as a present to a friend.
This one was nice and smooth and pleasing when I first smelled it, but now it’s very screechy and metallic and I don’t like it as much. I believe this is more purple than blue, almost like violet.
The one im working on. But when we go out in May after covid the one im working on for may release. But if I was to ware a fragrance for my pleasure I lone my Homme, Onyx or Boss Bitch
