About this video
YSL Y is a line where it's easy to confuse similar names while shopping. Y EDP and Y EDP Intense are separate choices, and Le Parfum adds another branch to the comparison alongside EDT, Y Live, Eau Fraiche and L'Elixir.
I'd pick the version you enjoy as a complete fragrance, rather than choosing by the strongest-sounding name. The Le Parfum link here is for the earlier edition discussed in this buying guide. If you're exploring alternatives, the related guides distinguish Y EDP-inspired fragrances from those built around that earlier Le Parfum.
