Which Should You Buy?
This budget beast is a divisive freshie. Some can't get enough of its potent, sweet, shower gel vibes, hailing it as incredible value. Others find it a synthetic scrubber. Either way, it's undeniably 'Intense' and performs like a champ for the price.
This YSL Y dupe is a divisive one. Many hail it as an impressive, affordable clone, even preferring it to the original. Others complain of poor performance and a harsh, cheap opening. For the price, it's worth a punt for dedicated fans of the scent profile, but don't expect miracles.
