Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - MYSLF EDP
A beacon of modern masculinity, MYSLF fuses vibrant citrus with luminous florals over a smooth, musky-woody base. Effortlessly stylish, approachable, and versatile for daily wear.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Rey EDP
A solid, versatile fragrance that's a dead ringer for YSL's MYSLF, albeit with some debate about which flanker it nails best. It's affordable, mass-appealing, and well-blended, though some find the dry-down a bit generic or wish for better projection.

Season and Occasion Fit

MYSLF

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

MYSLF excels in warmer weather thanks to its luminous citrus opening and clean floral heart, making it especially vibrant in spring and summer. Its moderate woody and musky base allows some versatility into fall, but it lacks the density for cold winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its clean, modern freshness and moderate projection make it ideal for office, casual, and date scenarios, where approachability matters. It is less suited for formal or high-energy sports occasions due to its understated, non-opulent presence.

Rey

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal Sport

Rey's moderate projection and agreeable, versatile scent profile make it suitable for a wide range of occasions, especially casual and date settings. While not overpowering, its sweetness might be a touch much for formal events, but it's refined enough for office wear.
