Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fakhar Black

This YSL Y EDP dupe is a bit of a mixed bag. Some think it's a stellar, budget-friendly stand-in, especially after some 'maceration'. Others find it falls flat, lacking the original's depth and often suffering from poor longevity. Definitely a 'try before you buy' due to its divisive synthetic qualities.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Mint and Wood

A fresh, invigorating blast that punches above its weight for the price. While some find it a bit too youthful or generic, many hail it as a surprisingly good, versatile daily driver, offering decent performance and a clean, aromatic profile.

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and mass-appealing profile makes it a safe bet for casual wear and the office, with many reviewers specifically calling it 'office and gym safe.' However, inconsistent performance reports, with some finding it light after initial projection, mean it might struggle for impact in formal or evening date settings.

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh, aromatic profile makes it suitable for casual wear and daily use. While some find it projects strongly, it's generally clean enough for the office, though not quite formal enough for elegant events. It's a bit too youthful for serious romantic dates.
