Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Yes I Am Eau de Parfum
Divisive but largely loved, Yes I Am is a playful, creamy gourmand that punches above its weight. Ignore the dodgy bottle and lean into the raspberry-caramel sweetness.
Statement
Our Verdict - Upcycled Mandarin Eau de Parfum
Don't let the name fool you - this one is a classic bait-and-switch. Advertised as a zesty mandarin, this turns rapidly into a sweet, almond-heavy gourmand. If you're after a citrus bomb, you'll be gravely disappointed. For almond-biscuit lovers, however, you might have found your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit

Yes I Am Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

This perfume's sweet, creamy gourmand profile and moderate longevity make it ideal for casual outings and especially for dates where its seductive warmth can shine. It's a tad too playful and sweet for most formal settings, and its soft to moderate projection keeps it from being overwhelming in an office if applied lightly.

Upcycled Mandarin Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its sweet and gourmand-leaning profile makes it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its cozy warmth is ideal for casual wear and might work for a relaxed date, though its poor longevity noted in reviews limits its versatility.
