A fragrance like a DSDS starlet!
I would like to say in advance that I am an absolute advocate of designer fragrances and have expressly forbidden my nose to become arrogant. But it is now unfortunately so, if you have looked deep into the niche, must capture a designer fragrances already massive.

Spoiler: Myslf has not managed to do that. Let me order my thoughts on this.

Yves Saint Laurent is a house number. And L'Oréal would be very stupid, of course, if the this image of the brand would not use.

With Myslf, however, I must immediately think of a casting show. One could think here that an "egg-laying Wollmilchsau" should be marketed. There were many perfumers in the recall. A true race they have delivered, without question.

There was certainly the brave, which has recognized that the Parfumbubble now knows what happens in the niche so, could not be sold because of its corners and edges "mega"...

He did not get into the second Recall......

There was certainly the beautiful, who has talent and you constantly ask yourself - Why do you do at "Germany seeks the super perfume" with? Too valuable ingredients, too expensive to produce for nen Maßenmarkt....

Not in the second Recall.

There was certainly the rebel, a guy who hits the table and asserts himself. But no, that did not fit with the jury boss at L'Oréal - you want something that sells "hammermäßig" well and pleases the masses. A fragrance that appeals to teens just as financially, potent men!

Not in the second Recall.

Won then 08/15. a talent, what is so interchangeable, as well as every winner of DSDS. A talent, what one / two years performs well and nourishes the brand - until in the best case to the follow-up "Le Parfum" Flanker, or even the setting. The fragrance works solidly on sillage and longevity and is perfectly tailored for the average man in his early 30's. Perfect for his everyday 9- 17 job at the office. He is pleasantly perceived without being annoying - but then also after the finished meeting in the stuffy conference room to be forgotten again.

A talent that is incredibly photogenic, but whose hit you have forgotten in 6 months. Exactly that is all Myslf ! It is interchangeable! It could be composed by Dieter Bohlen. It is not something that can and should stay. No, it is supposed to create exactly one season quota, only to be replaced again. Le Parfum, Elixir, whatever...

One did not have the goal to produce a milestone. The goal here is to pleasen the crowd. And that will / does the fragrance. For this he is too pleasing and Mr. Mustermann can say that he owns a WHOLE new fragrance. How should he know better?

This shower gel bergamot, wood and ambrox chords number we had felt 1000 times - yet Myslf will be bought. This has already worked with "Brother Louie" and "Atlantis is calling" - why not here?

Will it sell? Not for long - but a lot in a short time! But that's not bad, because when the new talent is burning up - already starts the next season.

I think my maxi CD of "Take me tonight" by Alexander I got rid of in 2005 at a flea market for 50 cents.

With Myslf it would really go with the devil, if I could still remember his name in 6 months.

No - he has not come to stay. But - everyone at L'Oréal already knows that and the castings for the next season have already started...

Poor "Superstar"....

Why does the fragrance come off so extremely badly here?
To be honest, I am very surprised at how badly Myslf was rated on Parfumo. To be honest, I've had much worse on my skin and clothes. You have to hand it to Yves Saint Laurent, the Myslf was promoted properly and the manufacturer's samples were distributed en masse. A few months ago, I was able to secure a sample directly from YSL and a few days ago, I received a free sample from a well-known perfume retailer, which was packaged relatively smartly. As this was quite space-consuming for a 1.2 ml atomizer, I tested the fragrance extensively today. I came to the conclusion that I quite like the scent, even if it's nothing groundbreaking. The durability is okay at 6 to 7 hours and the scent lingers a little longer close to the skin. I find the sillage a little weaker.

The top note starts citrusy, aquatic, fresh and slightly synthetic. I recognize bergamot and a certain shower gel aroma here. The heart note becomes sweeter, remains fruity and is floral thanks to orange blossom. The base then becomes quite creamy and smells woody and delicately balsamic with a certain skin accord thanks to ambroxan.

Even though I like the fragrance and it is quite appealing and suitable for the masses, I probably won't be allowed to buy a bottle. In the end, the fragrance DNA is too youthful for me and therefore doesn't quite suit me.

Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but is solid and good
Myslf has a classic designer DNA. Fresh, synthetic and pleasantly sweet.
It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but is that a bad thing? No.
This fragrance smells pleasant, clean, it makes you feel good and it also goes down really well.

Myslf is really very clean, almost soapy and reminds a little of fabric softener or fresh laundry. Slightly floral nuances in combination with fresh notes and an ambroxan base.
In most cases, ambroxan also boosts longevity. Here, however, I have to say that the fragrance doesn't have super good longevity.
It lasts for five to a maximum of seven hours on me and it becomes much more skin-like after about four hours.

This fragrance will definitely appeal to many on the outside, even if it doesn't do anything special.
The sometimes lousy reviews definitely come from our little bubble. Some simply have very high expectations.
However, the average Joe outside the bubble will be won over by this fragrance and the compliments it receives show that.

Stable fragrance with many BUTs
This fragrance is like a stylish new office worker in a Parisian suburb wearing it during his first week. Neither too intrusive nor too bold, neither too stuffy nor too posh, neither too aggressive nor too lax, and not too masculine either. A fragrance that unfolds perfectly in the office, with bergamot adding a light, tart freshness before ambroxan and patchouli with floral facets transform it into a dark, sophisticated fabric softener scent.
I have shown this fragrance to three people so far and they all really liked it. So why the bad reviews? This fragrance does not bring anything new, many nuances are similar to other perfumes, yet it is a pleasant fragrance, which unfortunately is not particularly long-lasting, but the next Elixir..uh... Flanker will perhaps do better.

It’s getting hate ATM…
… so that means people are going to LOVE it in 9 months .

All kidding aside, my wife thinks it smells great, and a lot of women I come in contact with say the same thing. They really like it.

Personally, when I first sprayed it, I was worried that it was leaning too feminine. The orange blossom makes itself present , and you WILL feel the flowery vibe it gives. It also seems that it’s a light, low projection/low sillage scent, but as I walked around, I kept getting “phantom wafts” of it; it’s easy to go nose blind to it, but it isn’t as bad as you think. Also, when I went outside into higher temps, it got MUCH louder.

My initial thoughts were a dislike, but I got more and more addicted to it as time passed. I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist.

I went home without buying it, and woke up to still smell the SINGLE SPRAY on my wrist. I immediately went back and bought a bottle.

Projection is difficult, as I said above I was nose blind, but sillage IS there, as is the longevity.

Not for everyone, but it’s hated more than it deserves to be.

A mess! Synthetic, sweet, fruity, bubblegummy, slightly woody. Nothing new, a cheap smelling scent for young people, with a poor longevity.

Aldehydes give the impression of fresh laundry. Not unlike the Y. I don't quite understand the place of this scent... but it is pleasant
