Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum vs YSL Y Le Parfum

Both are the same YSL Y line and both rate 4.7, so the choice comes down to scent style and strength. Y Eau de Parfum is the fresher, brighter fougère with apple, ginger and bergamot over sage and tonka, and it is the safer everyday pick. Y Le Parfum is darker and woodier, built on lavender, geranium, cedarwood and patchouli, with a heavier concentration that owners describe as lasting longer and reading more evening. Buy the Eau de Parfum for daytime and warmer weather; step up to Le Parfum if you want more depth and projection.

• Choose the Y Eau de Parfum if you want a fresh, versatile daily scent that works in an office or warm weather.
• Choose the Y Le Parfum if you want a darker, woodier scent with more strength for evenings and cool weather.
