YSL has really hit it out of the park! Torn apart by influencers online and not rated well on Parfumo either... And repeatedly labeled as a bad buy. And what can I say, L'Absolu is certainly not a blind buy.
But it's not bad either.
For me, it is somehow the almost perfect middle ground between the
Myslf and the
Myslf Le Parfum The edp is one of my all-time designer favorites with its sweetly fresh DNA, the Le Parfum was already too sweet for me, almost too feminine.
This flanker already has something of the original edp DNA but in the course it goes very much in the direction of
Ambassador Intense or
Sauvage Elixir and yes it also somehow reminds a bit of the
Absolu Aventus.
These are all good fragrances and for me the
Myslf L'Absolu ranks well, but unfortunately also in the upper price range.
With the
Ambassador Intense you can get away cheaper...
If the price goes down, you can eventually overlook the not quite perfect bottle. Mine has none of the often lamented inclusions in the chrome coating, but unfortunately the lid is really wobbly and not on the same level as its predecessors.
All in all, however, a good flank that is being unjustifiably slagged off here.
