Yang

I have the second formulation, and just like Bigsly, I prefer it over GPH II. When I close my eyes and smell this fragrance, I imagine this being the smell of the Mad Hatter's tea party in Alice in Wonderland. I recognize a powdery floral scent that's surrounded by lemon tea. It's a pretty unique/ non-linear scent that continues to impress me. The base notes come in and really fortify this unisex fragrance. It last about 7 - 8 hours on me and projects for 3 of those hours.

intense version of bvlgari pour homme.longlasting and very good sillage.higly recommended for bvlgari ph fans.

i think its little sharp very interesting very close to fregamo black also decleration but less concetreate . well done design of bottle .

These fragrances have had an interesting journey: originally launched by the house of Fath, and then re-launched with another label - Yin Yang perfumes - the fragrances are now launched under a designer named JF Paris, presumably referencing the original Jacques Fath but not actually part of the current Fath label. Whereas the first Yang that I tried back in the early 2000s was a woody aromatic along the lines of Gucci Rush for men or Cartier Declaration, this current version is a gourmand spiced tea that seems as if it could have been created as part of the Serge Lutens line. The fragrance goes on heavy and almost syrupy sweet with a surprising amount of sillage and a very decent longevity. I can't at all agree that it reminds me of Black XS or Bvlgari for men... Although the Gucci II reference is in fact appropriate. What is most striking here is the development of the fragrance. It does seem to morph and shift as it develops over time. Towards the end of the development the fragrance becomes somewhat creamy, along the lines of a chai tea. Definitely unisex, and for the price – $12 on eBay – absolutely worth it. I can't wait to wear this when the temperature becomes cool again in autumn and winter.

I have the second formulation and really like it. Amber isn't listed but something is making this sweet, and it does't seem like tonka. I guess a bit of praline is possible, and it's not sickly sweet. So, at first a lot is going on; there's the citrus, a clear herbal/tea note, the violet, etc. It settles down within the hour, though, and then it's a interesting, natural smelling, pleasant accord, with various facets coming to the fore and then receding. I don't view this as similar to Bvlgari Pour Homme, as it is more complex and doesn't have the strong synthetic musk I found so offensive in that one. I feared that this reformulation might be bad or weak, but it's not, though it might not be as strong as the original. Also, I like this better than Gucci Pour Homme II because the nice opening of that one doesn't last long enough. If you are looking for a moderately complex tea fragrance that's a bit sweet, this is one to sample. Note that I generally find tea-centric fragrances be quite boring, but this one works !

I bought this fragrance online because the description was 'Oriental', and I collect Oriental fragrances. Surprisingly enough, I found it far from Oriental! I loved it, but it really reminded me of 'Salvatore Ferragamo' for men - I didn't really get the citruses at all, but the green tea, vetiver, cardamom and base notes were very prominent indeed. I thought the unusual and dare I say phallicly-curved (someone else said it!), black and silver-capped 'yang/male' bottle was very surprising to behold! The fragrance is not over-powering and discreet enough to wear a lot of and still smell discreetly perfumed. I did my Wikipedia research on the late designer Jacques Fath and could appreciate the heritage of that original fashion house. Definitely recommended and quite inexpensive if you can find it online.

In the UK you can grab this for £9.95 online and it's an absolute bargain (I am talking of Yang2). The smell reminds me of (a toned down) Black XS. Whereas Black XS will pretty much fill a (smallish) room, this one is much more intimate and slightly more powdery. Considering the price, this frag gets top marks from me. Best blind buy I've made so far.

The original formulation is one of my favorite scents to wear. It gets me compliments. Problem is it's out of production. I don't like Yang2 and Haven't tried Yang 3 yet. Are there any EDTs from other companies that are similar? I have Bvlgari Pour Homme. I don't think they are similar. Any help on the matter is appreciated.
