Which Should You Buy?
A vanilla-led powerhouse of a scent that YSL unforgivably discontinued. This 'elixir' version perfects the original, offering a rich, sophisticated, and undeniably sexy fragrance that still makes people fume over its demise. It’s got that 'IT' factor, a timeless blend that screams opulence.
This Frangipani is a divisive one. Some adore its fresh, uplifting take on a tropical floral masterpiece, while others find it a screechy, synthetic imitation with woeful performance. Definitely try before you buy this one, mates.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and rich, sweet profile make it less suitable for an office setting where subtlety is key. However, its sophisticated and sensual character, bolstered by strong performance, makes it perfect for dates, evening events, and formal gatherings, projecting confidence and allure.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean and often subtle projection makes it suitable for office wear, though some find it a bit too weak. The bright, casual floral nature makes it perfect for daytime casual wear and summer holidays, with many reviewers explicitly stating they wear it to these events. The lack of significant sillage and projection means it's less suited for formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired.
