Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ysatis EDT
A lush, vintage floral chypre that commands attention with its powerful, animalic embrace. Ysatis is unapologetically opulent-timeless, confident, and never for the faint of heart.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Soft Pony EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Ysatis - a floral fragrance led by Ylang-Ylang, Galbanum, Coconut, with green depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ysatis

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The dense, opulent florals, animalic and mossy base and strong projection make Ysatis ideal for cooler seasons and evening wear. It flourishes in fall and winter but can also be dramatic in spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Ysatis's bold, complex chypre floral character and potent sillage make it most appropriate for formal events or romantic evenings. Its vintage richness can be overwhelming for office or casual daytime use.

Soft Pony

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, green signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
