Love one, love them all
With YSL fragrances, I feel somewhat similar to Kenzo fragrances. If you love one, you love them all. However, with some limitations. I appreciate them, but they are not my favorite scents. However, when I need a light, effortless fragrance, I do like to reach for a Kenzo. I no longer own any YSL fragrances. And upon reflection, there is something common in the type of scents between YSL and Kenzo.
Both have light, floral, effortless, and pleasing fragrances that do not vary much from scent to scent. Therefore, both brands have a high recognition value regardless of which fragrance you choose.
In this observation, I exclude the Opium fragrances from YSL, as they belong to a different class.
While Kenzo fragrances are more playful and sweeter, YSL fragrances - all that I have smelled and tested so far - have a bit more maturity, they are "more grown-up." It is not so easy to identify the individual scent components and the presented fragrance notes. Above all, I always smell this green, light floral, and slightly powdery YSL scent.
What do I perceive in the "Bridge of Love"? A light fragrance, a bright floral blend with a hint of wood note. "Paris Pont des Amours" is less sweet than, for example, "Paris Rose de Bois," less lovely, and less expressive than "Paris Rose des Vergers." I cannot identify individual flowers. The sillage is very weak, but the longevity is not, as it is still noticeable after I shower.
Overall, a weak fragrance, somewhat characterless, although it is a typical YSL.
Addendum: After having had several YSL fragrances and testing quite a few, now reviewing my detailed notes on them, I have understood what makes the signature of this YSL Paris fragrance category (excluding Opium and flankers) so unique:
All powdery, velvety, delicately floral scents that transform with creamy sandalwood, featuring this special signature.
No harsh and sour citrus or vanilla notes are used.
