Wow! I'm shocked at the reviews here. I own the original YSL RG and I like this one better. The original on my skin gets this strong sickening sweet smell midway to the dry down. This has a nice strong scent but not overpowering or nauseating. This company makes this in AS and for those who like a lighter scent that lasts at least half the day, that's also a good route. I love this stuff and am selling my nearly unused original RG in the aluminum bottle.

This is a very creamy anise forward fragrance that smells of a classic anise heavy shaving cream with very good longevity. It gives me old school fresh vibes all day. You will do better spraying your chest as opposed to your neck as the scent is strong (which is a plus in my book). Very masculine, rugged, refined. A+ for me. Especially given the price.

I had -- key word -- a bottle of this at one point, and I must say.... if it was not so ludicrously overpowered, it would have been a good fragrance. The atomizer on this has a decidedly large output, and the fragrance itself has a monstrous amount of projection. With two spritzes of this on my wrists, everybody in the room I was in (about a 10x15 living room) could smell this fragrance in a matter of mere seconds, and I could very easily taste it. It punches way above it's weight in terms of projection. I wound up giving this to a coworker of mine, and the only way he can use it is to spray a bit into the air and walk through it.... and then he's good for several hours. The fragrance itself is not bad by any means, as it definitely has that barbershop shave cream feel to it, but the other scent notes in the fragrance (fire?) give it this odd spicy note. I guess you could say the key scent notes in this are vanilla, shaving cream, and cinnamon spice. Not bad, but definitely not the "fresh clean shave" styled fragrance I thought this was going to be. More of a date night fragrance.
