Good and easy to wear scent
Decent but not what I expected.
Don't buy this if
Please don't buy this to thinking you are purchasing the all back discontinued bottle. You will be very disappointed like I was. And if you try to call to get clarity BEFORE purchasing , they won't be helpful. They will tell you that they can't confirm or deny what's in the warehouse. So don't waste your time.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Recieved the 2025 version
While I like the 2025 version of this cologne, I thought i would be recieving the 2021 version because that is what is pictured. So just beware of you were on the search for the older version you won't be getting it from here.

I wouldn't buy this again
It doesn't smell bad but I was fully expecting the older version of the ysl y le parfum. The picture and description showed the older version and didn't say it was the 2025 one.

I've worn this for YEARS!6
I have worn this fragrance since it was released! It's one of my favorites. I've researched over 20 websites to purchase this and this is the cheapest. I bought the "tester", it's a great product and easier on my wallet. I signed up for email when the tester came back in stock. When I got the email I ordered it. I would order again in the future!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

My go-to cologne behind Aqua Di Gio...
This stuff is awesome, but expensive, while I use this or aqua di gio daily, the prices may stop your average buyer from wearing it everyday, but if you want an awesome smell with lots of compliments, it's great for special occasions.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
