Which Should You Buy?
A crisp, sparkling citrus blast over aromatic woods, L.12.12 Blanc Eau de Toilette is the essence of casual confidence. It is the ideal go-to for sporty, everyday freshness, but may be too light for those seeking depth or boldness.
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.
