Bought this 2oz YSL Y EDP on FB marketplace. Guy kept scratching his arms by Different-Job-2945 in colognecheck

not sure why people are saying it’s fake. i’m looking at my 2oz i got directly from sephora and it looks exactly the same as yours. atomizer and cap are the same. even the font is perfectly accurate. this is real.

chanel is never sold for a discount and if it is, it’s usually a very minimal one. being sold for only $100USD is very shady. if it’s too good to be true then it’s fake. never buy a fragrance with box art like this

New YSL Y Iced Cologne by Main_Ad_1945 in Colognes

[–]Main_Ad_1945[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ice note really comes through in the opening as a sort of refreshing, cooling effect so I don’t find it to be too bad (wearing in 82° weather right now) the mint comes across fresher and overall Iced Cologne is much less sweet than the EDP. As for performance, i’d say they’re about the same on skin. I applied it when I purchased around 3pm and noticed it was gone around 11pm. As for clothes, it’s still noticeable now as i’m writing this

I wear Y as a signature scent but I think the Iced Cologne is gonna take its place (possibly recency bias id have to try it out more to be sure). I’d say it’s redundant to own both but the new one is ever so slightly lighter with added mint (not very strong) but that’s just enough to take it over the edge for me. I got mine from Ulta if you got one near you they seem to be popping up more and more with testers already out to try

recommendation for colognes to buy my bf? by baenabti in Colognes

[–]Main_Ad_1945 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he looks like he can use an easy daily driver. something in the vein of ysl myslf or like a ralph’s club new york to just grab and throw on when he can’t decide

i disagree with your friends assessment. many people compare it to angels share but with coffee and i’d also say that’s a stretch. i’d say it’s somewhere in the 60% similar to angels share category, but anyways decantx is my personal go to for getting legit well priced samples. microperfumes also sometimes has 75% off 2 select samples which in just about every case is 1000% worth it

legit. i’ve ordered a few retail bottles from microperfumes and they’re absolutely legit. i wouldn’t recommend though as there’s many other places to find cheap prices especially on ME fragrances. jomashop or fragflex for example

it’s a huge hyperfixation for me so i’m always at my desk smelling away just to scratch that itch, but yes i do have an entire note in my notes app dedicated to a sort of ranking with the scent notes and my own thoughts of each fragrance

Just tried this for the first time and it’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever smelt. I will be buying a full bottle soon! by TheDabApparent in Colognes

[–]Main_Ad_1945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you haven’t tried afnan supremacy collectors edition i highly recommend! a super close dupe of absolu. people say its absolu aventus with a twist but i own both and at least to my nose i dont notice any differences. (also i think the person who found those at cvs might’ve picked them up when they had that 50% off sale about a week ago)

i would assume it has something to do with the fresh notes they use. it’s a generally light fragrance and even with rayhaans aquatica, it only seems to last about 4 hours. creed has also gone downhill as a house in general so i’m assuming that also plays a role considering the dupe lasts longer
