Which Should You Buy?
This YSL reissue is a beautifully divisive scent. While some long for the original's punch, others embrace this softer, more modern take. Expect arguments at the dinner table, but a deeply sensual experience on skin.
Don't fall for the hype - or lack thereof. This budget buy barely registers, fading before it makes any kind of impact. Not a clone, not special, just a bit 'meh'.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for evenings and formal events, though it might be a bit much for a conservative office. Many reviewers highlight its appeal for date nights due to its sensual and mysterious qualities.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its mild nature and poor longevity make it suitable for office wear where strong projection is unwelcome, and its quick fade means it won't offend. However, it's far too 'non-descript' and lacking in character for dates, formal events, or clubbing.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Warm Spicy, Aromatic accords and Cardamom, Incense notes
