Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - La Collection Yvresse
This YSL reboot divides opinion sharply: some hail it as a triumphant return to form, capturing the effervescent spirit of its predecessor, while others feel it's a lacklustre reformulation. Don't expect the true vintage magic, but it’s still fizzy, fruity, and undeniably classy in its own right.

Our Verdict - Mon Rouge
Mon Rouge by Yves Rocher is as divisive as they come. Half the crowd finds it a sophisticated, strong patchouli-plum combo for cooler weather, while the other half can't stand its synthetic, heavy sweetness. Clearly not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit

La Collection Yvresse

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its moderate projection and sophisticated fruity-floral profile make it suitable for office wear, provided it's applied lightly. The sparkling, elegant nature lends itself beautifully to dates and formal events, while some find it versatile enough for a classy casual outing. However, its lush nature makes it entirely unsuitable for sporty activities.

Mon Rouge

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent patchouli and strong sillage make it a bit much for the office. However, its warming, sensual character with plum and blackcurrant notes make it quite suitable for evenings out, casual wear, or even special occasions, especially in cooler weather.
