Pros & Cons

  • ✅ Fresh and versatile scent suitable for many occasions
  • ✅ Easily recognizable and crowd-pleasing profile
  • ✅ Good longevity that lasts through most of the day
  • ✅ Strong sillage that makes a confident impression
  • ✅ Widely available in many sizes and concentration options
  • ✅ An absolute banger of a scent for younger guys. This is a sweet-fresh combo done to perfection, setting the benchmark of quality for all modern designer fragrances.
  • ✅ It is so refined, well blended and balanced to the point others might find it boring, but that is why I love it.
  • ✅ Extremely versatile fragrance. It smells amazing, fresh and clean, works for so many occasions.
  • ❌ Very common, so it may not feel unique
  • ❌ Might be too strong for close-quartered settings
  • ❌ Some find it overly synthetic in certain formulations
  • ❌ Not ideal for very hot weather due to projection
  • ❌ Price can be high compared to some alternatives
  • ❌ goddammit, another incredible scent that's unfortunantly horrendous in it's performance
  • ❌ Lasts 30 minutes.
  • ❌ Criminal performance for such a great scent. YSL are really losing out on $$$ by not fixing the longevity.
