What wearers say

“I've been wearing this as my daily recently because I got a tad bored of Prada L'homme and wanted something different for everyday/office. With that being said, they are very different, but I really do enjoy this as my favorite out of the Y line. It is definitely a *little* heavier than the EDP, but not overbearing enough to not be a daily scent. Although when it comes to summer heat, I will not be wearing this to the office, or as a daily, unless its cooler at night.”

“The opening smells so good to me, like a green apple jolly rancher, it lasts 3 hours before becoming a skin scent and the projection isn’t obnoxious so it’s perfectly appropriate for school or work. The dry down smells of vanilla like most designers, similar to eros’s vanilla dry down but less pungent. Classy, clean and versatile, good for the youth and older gentlemen, casual or dressed up. Mass appealing as all blue fragrances should be, no complaints. 🤔 9/10 I enjoy it more than the edp honestly, I get to wear it to class or work without worrying about giving anyone a headache.”

“It instantly became one of my favorites!This was my scent of the day yesterday. and immediately received a compliment.It has similar smell to ysl y edp. But smoother than edp.10/10 scent-wise, longevity-wise, performance-wise.I will repurchase this if my bottle gets empty.”

Swaps some of the original's olibanum for frankincense. Voters say it fades sooner on skin.
