Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Inspired by YSL Y

Match Fragrances' interpretation of YSL's Y Eau de Parfum (2018) - the Dominique Ropion, Calice Becker and Anne Flipo apple-sage-ambroxan masculine that became YSL's modern white-shirt signature, here translated into an apple-ginger opening over geranium and a ambroxan-cedar close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and date wear at a fraction of the designer price.
