  • Yeah!

    Maison Alhambra · Our pick

    The opening is flatter and less sparkling than YSL Y, but the sage, apple and amberwood heart lands close once it settles.

  • Fakhar Black

    Lattafa

    Fakhar Black carries more apple and lavender with a slightly synthetic edge, missing some of the crisp citrus lift that defines the YSL opening.

Our take

A polished aromatic scent that brightens sage and juniper with crisp apple and ginger, then settles on amberwood and tonka. It reads clean and modern, comfortable across seasons and settings.
