MYSLF Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent

Smells amazing, delicious, and very versatile. The only flaw is that it doesn’t last long, though the first two hours project like luxury.

Fresh, clean, and floral (don’t be scared, it’s a men’s fragrance). It’s a magnet for compliments. Women love it and give plenty. If you want to receive compliments, you need this one.

I tested it in the store several times and always thought it was good, though it didn’t justify the $160 price tag. Later, a friend asked me to help her buy a perfume for her husband’s birthday. She tried several of my recommendations and chose this over other big names. Later, with a good promotion, I bought it. For daily use, it’s exquisite: it doesn’t bother, it’s soft, subtle, clean, and charming. It smells fine and delicate. My partner loved it, and several people tell me I smell good, though never with a ‘wow, what a wonder.’ In short, it’s that signature fragrance: elegant, pleasant, and always appropriate.

Absolutely tedious. It’s a generic old-man perfume that doesn’t want to complicate his life.

If you don’t want to fail and smell excellent, this is a bomb. It lasts as long as it should and projects as much as it touches: 6 hours of longevity, 2 hours of high projection, then moderate in a personal bubble. It doesn’t disappear; it’s a compliment machine.

I think it’s the ideal scent for a signature fragrance; while it’s unisex, it leans more masculine and handsome. It works well for any occasion, but in winter, I feel the scent fades a bit. It’s an undeniable gem that, on top of that, earns compliments for how easy it is to love.

Without a doubt, this could be the signature scent for someone looking for something fresh, clean, easy to wear, and appealing to most. It feels casual—you could wear it to work and feel comfortable. But it also has that sweetness that works well for close encounters or dates. If you’re young, it looks elegant; if you’re over 30, you’ll probably want something with more presence.

It was my perfume for several months; my girlfriend is head over heels for it. The truth is, it doesn’t project much (1-2 hours), but regarding longevity, it’s more than enough since it stays firm on the skin until you shower. As for the scent, I find it exquisite. I don’t find it original, nor does it give me the feeling of smelling something new, but that’s where it wins for me: it combines many familiar notes in the best way possible and ends up perfect.

It has a great opening, but after two hours, the intensity drops significantly. Still, considering the price, it’s not worth it. I think the Nitro Elixir dupe is better, though it leans more toward Myself Absolu; I’m not sure if there’s a dupe for this one.

Excellent scent, but it doesn’t last at all and has no projection.

Very rich, perfect youthful touches for school or university. It can be worn by any age; for younger people, it’s usable for special occasions, while for adults, it’s better for everyday wear. Very versatile, totally recommended.

It starts with that shy, generic bergamot that I barely notice every now and then. It’s one-dimensional, not very purposeful, with no evolution; it feels synthetic, super youthful, not very masculine, doesn’t last well, and has weak projection. On paper, it sounds like I hate the perfume, but the truth is, I absolutely love it. The orange blossom is my favorite note in perfumery; it makes me smile when I smell it. That floral charm, with such a subtle and natural sweetness that it’s hardly even called sweet, makes it impossible to smell bad if it’s the main note. In fact, it’s almost the only note. It has ambroxan; I resisted trying perfumes with ambroxan for a long time, especially for hot weather, but here it doesn’t bother me at all—it’s just the base upon which the orange blossom steps. Some people say it lasts a long time on the skin, but in my case, both notes die at the same time (I prefer it that way). It reminds me a bit of the floral side of Good Girl by Carolina Herrera; in fact, I couldn’t believe it when I first atomized it. I think it’s like the fifth men’s perfume I’ve compared to Good Girl; I don’t know if that speaks better of her perfumery work or worse of my skills as a taster. Up to 30-32 degrees Celsius, it works perfectly; I thought it wouldn’t, that it wouldn’t be suitable for summer, which is why I wasn’t going to buy it, and I’m still looking for a fragrance for hot weather to replace my beloved D&G LBSV. This comes with a 150ml refill, and the more I smell it, the less expensive it seems. I’m not giving it a 10 because I can’t be that shameless, but I’m willing to try, eh. 9/10.

It’s a rich, soft, tender perfume… it’s for a date with someone who shows the same vibe as the scent. It has a white floral part that describes it very well. It’s like a cloud with cotton. The downside is the longevity. The quality of the perfume is undeniable, but let’s put more love into the performance aspect.

I really like it, except I wish it lasted longer; it only projects for about two hours at most.

Tastes vary, as do colors… or in this case, perfumes. We tried it with my teenage nephew; he loved it, but I only liked the first half-hour, which was citrus/floral. After that, it transformed into something unbearable for my nose; totally synthetic, metallic, and abrasive, like burying my nose in one of those old-lady powders. What a pity. It does have good longevity, around 8 hours, and moderate sillage, but I suppose that’s due to the blessed ambrofix; it just makes it unbearable to me. I was surprised by the opening; very modern and stylish, but unfortunately, they killed it with the ambrofix.
