Myself Absolute For Men EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a modern classic: a vibrant chypre rose with a clean, earthy patchouli that somehow manages to be both elegant and edgy. It's a universal compliment-getter, proving that sometimes, simple really is better.
A budget take on YSL's MYSLF L'Absolu. Myself Absolute captures the bright ginger-bergamot-cardamom open and the rich orange-blossom heart over earthy patchouli, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch sweeter and the woody-floral drydown thins out faster than the original's strong eleven-hour wear.
