Pouls du sentiment communautaire — Yves Saint Laurent Y

/10
YSL Y EDP est une fragrance bleue compétente mais moyenne qui se porte bien et reçoit des compliments, bien que beaucoup la trouvent trop criarde et synthétique avec une profondeur limitée. La chimie de la peau impacte significativement l'appréciation, certains adorant sa fruité sucrée tandis que d'autres la trouvent écœurante et provoquant des maux de tête. Le flanker Le Parfum est fréquemment recommandé comme une alternative supérieure et plus mature.
Positif
Versatile and safe everyday fragrance with good compliment-getting potential
Strong performance and projection, especially in EDP version
Sweet, fruity opening with apple and ginger notes; smooth dry down
Attractive bottle design and good value for price
Négatif
Can be too loud, sharp, and piercing for some; headache-inducing for sensitive users
