Which Should You Buy?
Divisive but largely loved, Yes I Am is a playful, creamy gourmand that punches above its weight. Ignore the dodgy bottle and lean into the raspberry-caramel sweetness.
383 leans on Yes I Am's raspberry-and-milk gourmand signature, though the sandalwood-amberwood base is noticeably softer than Cacharel's original.
