Greetings from San Diego, friends. This week, I find myself down here for my sister's graduation ceremony. So, due to the heat I knew I was to expect, I decided to pack my new travel size of Myself EDP by YSL. After enjoying it for a couple of days, these are my thoughts.
Upon first spray, this fragrance delivers a scent that feels comfortably familiar. For me, it opens with an ambroxan note reminiscent of the Sauvage line, beautifully intertwined with white floral elements similar to those found in my wife's Libre. Imagine blending those two iconic fragrances and adding a fresh citrus twist from Polo 67—that's the essence of this scent.
On my skin, the fragrance remains quite linear, with minimal evolution throughout the wear. This could be seen as a downside for those who prefer more complexity, but there's a certain charm in its straightforwardness.
In terms of performance, the projection is impressive during the initial hour, creating a pleasant aura around you. However, after that, the scent becomes closer to the skin but retains a noticeable presence. I was able to detect it on my body for about seven hours before it faded to a subtle skin scent and eventually disappeared.
Ultimately, this fragrance embodies a blend of familiarity and distinctiveness. It may not be groundbreaking or particularly daring, but it's a scent that garners compliments and can be worn on various occasions. If you're looking for something that smells great and feels versatile, this bottle is definitely worth considering.
