Popular Colognes Compared: Y EDP, Ultra Male and Sauvage EDT

Popular fragrances can appeal for very different reasons. Y EDP, Sauvage EDT and Invictus offer several ways into fresh, aromatic fragrance, while Ultra Male adds its sweeter pear-and-vanilla character. Gentleman Intense EDT, Light Blue Eau Intense and Black XS are also featured here.

I’d use the Y comparison to understand the difference between EDP and the current Le Parfum before choosing within that family. If Ultra Male is closer to what you want, its alternatives guide explores other takes on fruity evening sweetness. Let your own taste decide which direction is worth trying.
