Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 801 sea spray, cedar, grapefruit EDP
A refreshing aquatic that’s perfect for summer. While some find it a bit too 'blue' and linear, others rave about its authentic sea spray vibe and surprising depth. Definitely one for those who want to smell like a clean, vibrant coastal breeze.

Our Verdict - Light Blue Pour Homme EDP
This new Light Blue release is a divisive one. Fans are split between those who love its departure from the original DNA and those who find it a generic YSL Y clone. It's a loud, citrus-forward marine, so definitely try before you buy.
