Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Young Sexy Lovely EDP
YSL's Young Sexy Lovely is a divisive one, with many finding it a pleasant, fresh fruity-floral that's perfect for younger wearers or those craving subtlety. Others, however, dismiss it as generic, forgettable, and far from 'sexy'. Expect a light, airy scent with minimal presence.

Our Verdict - Happy Spirit EDP
Happy Spirit is a divisive one. Some find it a delightful, well-balanced fruity floral that lives up to its name, while others are put off by a perceived artificial sweetness or overly musky dry-down. It definitely isn't for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Young Sexy Lovely

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its light sillage and inoffensive, clean-girl aroma make it highly suitable for office and casual wear, where strong scents are often unwelcome. However, its lack of projection and 'sexy' quality means it won't stand out on a date or formal event. The fresh and fruity notes lean it towards an active, casual vibe, but it's not a true 'sport' fragrance.

Happy Spirit

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Given its strong sillage and noteworthy longevity for many, it might be a bit much for a very formal office, but some find it perfectly acceptable. It shines in casual and romantic settings due to its sweet and feminine character, though it's generally too heavy and sweet for sport.
