SOTD- Friday February 20th: YSL Y Iced Cologne

I tested this yesterday, and while I liked it, I wasn’t super crazy about it. After a full wearing today, I’ve changed my mind…I really enjoy this one!

I find the EDP too punchy and headache inducing for my liking. However, this flanker settles down on that sweet tartness and adds a smooth minty accord that does have an icy feel to it. I’d equate it to what Rasasi did from Hawas to Hawas Ice. It’s fresher, but keeps that original DNA around.

After further testing, I get about 5 hours of solid projection off my skin and it stays around for about a total of 8 hours before becoming a skin scent. Definitely a far cry from the 12 hours YSL claims, but still pretty good for a fresh scent.

This will be amazing in the summer, but I could see being versatile enough to wear year round in just about any situation.

If you own any of the other flankers in the Y line, it is redundant, but it does have its own spin on the DNA. If you don’t have any others in this line, or you absolutely love the line and want to get them all, I’d recommend it.
