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.
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent Y for Men EDP (2018) - apple, sage and amberwood translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
