Solid sage / rose geranium everyday fragrance
That the YSL - Y EDP no groundbreaking fragrance experience holds, that is probably clear to everyone here. Nevertheless, I think the fragrance has its raison d'être, even if I personally am not a big fan of it.
Generally, I could divide the journey into 3 clear phases:
The opening is dominated by apple, ginger and citrus notes. Unfortunately, the apple comes across a bit artificial for me here, so that the association with my daily shampoo "Head & Shoulders" came to me immediately. Surely there are also men who like this, but for me it is a little too "youthful".
However...
The apple and citrus notes fade surprisingly quickly (10-15 minutes) and what remains is sage as the main note, supported by the rose geranium. The fragrance is from this point on so simply clean and has for me something of soap, which I find quite not bad. From here the fragrance is then also suitable for men ü25 ;-)
From many other fragrance notes that are specified, such as incense and tonka, is unfortunately missing any trace.
After about 6 hours on the skin then say goodbye to sage and rose geranium and what remains is actually the first time really masculine for my taste: it is the amber wood, which has not really shown up to now. This then sounds out another 2 hours, until finally nothing more is perceptible.
Conclusion:
It is opinion after a solid everyday fragrance without corners and edges, the opening is probably more suitable for the younger semester...
H/S are slightly above average and the bottle looks really classy in my opinion.
In my collection he will not stay, because for me the "certain something" is missing. For someone who is looking for a no-brainer (not meant negatively) and Ambroxanbomben like DIOR Sauvage & Co. would like to do without, YSL-Y EDP but a good alternative.

I finally got myself a bottling of this fragrance after smelling it for the first time on a friend about 1 1/2 years ago. In my head I had only a strong smoky note, paired with another, rather untypical fragrance. Then when the bottling arrived and I smelled...
