Which Should You Buy?
This is a mass-appealing, high-quality white floral that's either a revelation or a niche clone of YSL MYSLF, depending on who you ask. It’s expensive, but surprisingly versatile and a bit of a crowd-pleaser.
A budget approximation of Thameen's Royal Sapphire - the bergamot-to-amber-jasmine arc lands, but the niche house's layered richness is flattened into a simpler citrus-floral-amber chord.
