Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Yeah! Eau de Parfum
This YSL Y dupe is a divisive one. Many hail it as an impressive, affordable clone, even preferring it to the original. Others complain of poor performance and a harsh, cheap opening. For the price, it's worth a punt for dedicated fans of the scent profile, but don't expect miracles.

Our Verdict - Chicago Eau de Parfum
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.
