Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; good value for money, but don't expect a perfect dupe. The longevity is heavily debated, with experiences ranging from dismal to impressive. It's mature, masculine, and a versatile choice if you're into a greener, less sweet YSL Y style.
This isn't just a classic, it's a piece of perfumery history. While some find its subtle, powdery lavender comforting and timeless, others declare it an overly simple, dated relic with abysmal performance. You'll either get it, or you won't. And if you do, you'll love it.
