Which Should You Buy?
This YSL classic is seriously divisive, striking a chord between love and hate. Some hail it as a unique masterpiece, while others dismiss its strong patchouli and spicy elements as dated or even unpleasant. A true take-it-or-leave-it scent.
Eden's No.097 follows YSL's Elle into patchouli-forward floral territory - litchi, peony and rose over a woody patchouli base - though the patchouli reads thinner and the sillage tapers much faster than the designer original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and patchouli-heavy character make it a bit much for a formal office environment, though it's elegant enough for a special work event. The strong, unique profile suits dates and formal occasions well, but can be scaled back for casual wear. Definitely not a sport fragrance.
Seasons
The fruity-floral patchouli blend suits Spring freshness and Fall's warmer, earthier mood equally well.
Occasions
A soft, sophisticated fruity-chypre suits casual wear and daytime dates more than formal or office settings.
