Which Should You Buy?
This YSL Y dupe is a bit of a mixed bag. Many claim it's a dead ringer, especially after maceration, while others find it a synthetic mess with dire performance. It's a cheap thrill for YSL Y fans, but don't expect miracles.
This is a real head-scratcher of a scent, dividing opinions right down the middle. Some find it a masterpiece, a weird but wonderful green gourmand; others just can't get past the 'weeds' or 'tomato leaf' vibe. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
