What wearers say
“The best alternative for YSL Y Le Parfum, although performance is average or even below average but I like this scent and will buy it again. I can carry the bottle with me and respray every 2 hours to enjoy the scent, I do not care about the weak performance. Quality of oil is very good, Armaf has improved its quality significantly.”
“I have this and, maybe it needs to mature for a while?I guess on the dry down I get an essence of YSL Y Le Parfum.It's like a mix ofLLe Parfum and L'Elixir, but not really either. Not unpleasant, not super potent, just a scent carrying the spirit of YSL Y.What's that one Lattafa release from a while back that was supposed to be like YSL Y EdP? Fakar Silver or something. This is kind of like that, but not as rough of an opening.I'll probably let it sit for a while, but it's a "meh" for me after the first wear.”
“Crisp, manly, with distinct amber sweetness, nothing outstanding. It’s my first impression so I’m not sure about the parameters but YSL Y DNA is there. I would place it somewhere between Montblanc Legend Spirit and Dylan Blue. Good allrounder, good for office and hanging out. Honest 7,5/10 on first try on skin.”
