Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nu EDP
A tragically discontinued masterpiece, YSL Nu EDP still commands a cult following for its deep, sensual spice and incense. Many lament its loss, while others cherish their "hockey puck" bottles like precious relics. This is Y2K dark glamour, polarising but unforgettable.
Acquired
Our Verdict - En Prise EDP
En Prise combines fresh spicy notes with a moderate projection, making it a versatile unisex scent ideal for transitional seasons.
