Y Eau de Parfum Intense - 60ml - Yves Saint Laurent

Eau de Parfum Intense typically has a higher concentration of fragrance oils (around 15-30%) compared to Eau de Toilette (5-15%). This results in a stronger, richer scent and significantly longer lasting performance, often 6-8 hours or more, versus EDT's 3-5 hours.

Due to its intensity, 1-2 sprays are generally sufficient. Apply to pulse points like the neck or wrists. For a lighter application, spray once into the air and walk into the mist.

Apply to pulse points such as the wrists, neck (especially behind the ears), chest, and inner elbows. These areas generate heat, which helps to project the scent effectively.

While you can, its intense nature makes it particularly suitable for evening wear, special occasions, or during cooler weather. For daily office wear, consider a very light application or opt for a less intense fragrance from the YSL Y line like an Eau de Toilette version.

Store the bottle in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. Keep the original cap tightly on to prevent evaporation and oxidation. Do not store in the bathroom.

Being an Eau de Parfum Intense, you can typically expect it to last on the skin for 6-8 hours, and often longer depending on individual skin chemistry and environmental factors.

Ensure skin is moisturized before application. Apply to pulse points. Avoid rubbing the applied area. Consider applying a light mist to clothing (test on an inconspicuous area first, as some fragrances can stain delicate fabrics).

Reduce the number of sprays. Apply only to one or two pulse points instead of multiple areas. Try spraying into the air and walking through the mist for a lighter application.

Ensure the cap is fully removed and there are no obstructions. If it's a new bottle, pump it a few times to prime the mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer service as there may be a defect.

Discontinue use immediately. Cleanse the affected area with mild soap and water. If symptoms persist, consult a medical professional. This could indicate a sensitivity to one of the ingredients.
