Y Eau de Parfum or Y Le Parfum
Y Eau de Parfum for summer, Y Le Parfum for cold nights
VS
Y Eau de Parfum
«Green apple with sage and ginger that breathes easily even in heat — the everyday workhorse.»
Y Le Parfum
«The same skeleton, but flooded with lavender and tonka into a sweet evening density.»
This is not better-versus-worse, it is when. Y Eau de Parfum is fresh and versatile for daytime heat and the office, Y Le Parfum is louder and sweeter — its element is cold air and evening; mix up the seasons and you ruin both.

Y Eau de Parfum goes from morning to dinner; Y Le Parfum suffocates at a July desk but comes alive in December.
How similar they are
Scent61%
A shared fougère base — sage, geranium, ginger, apple, tonka; on paper close relatives, and it shows.
Vibe0%
The mood is opposite, though: Y Eau de Parfum is a freshly washed morning, Y Le Parfum a warm late evening — different men in the same jacket.
What they share — and where they split

Then they split:
Y Eau de Parfumamberwoodbergamotvetiver
Y Le Parfumlavenderpatchouligrapefruitaldehydes
The heart is identical; amberwood, bergamot and vetiver dry Y Eau de Parfum into cool green, while lavender, patchouli and aldehydes pull Y Le Parfum into sweet resinous depth.
2018 against 2021 — the fresh flagship and a later reading, deliberately louder on the wave of dense, sweet evening scents.
Both sit on the same house's designer shelf; the label is identical, the only difference is the hour you wear it out.
Y Eau de Parfum is searched more — versatility beats spectacle, the daytime reading outsells the night one.
