If you're after a budget-friendly take on the YSL Myslf DNA, this is it. It's clean, fresh, and surprisingly versatile, though you might need to let it 'macerate' for a bit to get the best performance. Expect a lot of chat about whether it's a clone or not.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its clean, fresh character and moderate sillage make it ideal for office and casual wear, as noted by several reviewers. While pleasant, its performance is often reported as average, making it less suitable for formal events where high projection is often desired. It's a versatile choice for day-to-day use.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Itqan Noir kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, bringing an instant hit of fresh citrus. This quickly makes way for the heart of orange blossom, which provides a clean, subtly sweet, and slightly powdery floral softness. The dry down is anchored by a warm, modern blend of ambrofix and earthy patchouli, creating a smooth and rounded finish.
