MYSLF Eau de Parfum

I've smelled this cologne on multiple occasions and always thought the same thing at the time: "meh, nothing special" But one day, while at a local discounter sale, I came across it for a good price and since I didn't want to leave empty handed, I decided to buy it. I wasn't sure if I was going to gift it to my father or keep it for myself (no pun intended) since it filled the "white floral" void that was in my current collection. I took it home, wore it, didn't mind it and continued to rinse and repeat for the next few days - not just having it on my wrist like my prior tests, but actually rocking it while living my life and doing activities. And honestly, WOW - what a change wearing this repeatedly in real-life can make. It's become an easy everyday 'dumb reach' for me as it's casual, but can also be dressed up. Highly versatile from that POV. Safe to say, I never gave it to my father (sorry Pops!) It's just a simple, clean, inoffensive, laundry-like scent. I can't say its gotten me any compliments (aside from the odd one from my fiance), but it picks me up when wearing it and I'd say that's what's MOST important. Performance has been great for me as well - not crazy like nuclear, but sufficient for the purpose. I can tell its projecting within a small bubble and lingers longer before becoming a skin scent. I've even taken it on vacation in different climates and never found it to be too cloying or annoying - just a pleasant aroma consistently radiating around me. I think its all-year appropriate, but would especially shine in the warmer months of Spring and Summer. For context: I was a HUGE YSL Y EDP guy but now I find that fragrance to be a bit cloying, annoying and over-used whereas I haven't encountered this one as much. I still use Y occasionally, but much prefer MYSELF (especially as a now 36 year old male). So if you're looking for a good first fragrance, or just a clean every-day fragrance, especially as someone older than 25, I'd put this up there over Y EDP which is probably YSL's most recommended fragrance these days. As an interesting note: Prada Luna Rossa Ocean EDT also smells quite similar to this - so if you're familiar with that scent and like it, I'd say MYSLF EDP is an easy blind-buy (or vice versa). 7.6/10

Last year , a young girl seller proposed me this in Marionnaud France , I didn’t really been attentioned because i have smelled many scenes before , but today i passed by an tried it again only it , the opening is a well aromatic balance but the middle make me stopping on my way back because i felt i remembered something from my childhood, checking the notes and i was fascinated when i saw its Tunisian Jasmin , so yeah in my childhood in Tunisia my grandfather used to have a nice jasmin in the garden that change all the neighborhood scent , if i was told Jasmin is putted in a fragnance i will think no doubt that its synthetic or modified but in this perfume its real Tunisian Jasmin , only YSL can do this magic combination and reading the perfume story on their site shows that the Jasmin has been planted and reserved for YSL. So you can wear it mainly by day in a Spring day or in a summer day afternoon with the soft wind coming by and everybody around gonna feel safe (for me i will use it all the year only when its soft but in summer hot beach days i prefer to use a more fresh scent) . It suits me a 29yo boy but i really see it for any man in his office in all seasons as well. That was one of my best discoveries in shops. YSL is simply YSL when it comes to perfumes , and big thanks to the noses behind this.

This is my second favorite version of MYSLF, but it's neck and neck with L'Absolu. The EDP is citrusy, bright, and sweet floral. The Ambrofix is perfect here as it adds woody and musky depth and helps keep this profile unisex and not feminine. The pachouli isn't very green or camphorus, but it adds slight earthy darkness and density making this appropriate for casual evenings. The EDP smells very, very good. The reason it's second to L'Absolu is it's longevity is not as strong, plus I think the added ginger and cardamom make L'Absolu more interesting, more masculine, and a year-round scent, day or night. L'Absolu also stays much more sweet and dense deep into the dry down, whereas the EDP kind of ends up smelling like clean laundry. I really like both aromas, but ultimately L'Absolu is much more versatile. Literally splitting hairs here, definitely sample every MYSLF to pick the right one for you, but you can't go wrong. 8.8/10

This fragrance is very well rounded. Although it doesn't have niche-level complexity, for a designer fragrance I would say it shows quite good development throughout the wear especially considering the price. The bergamot blends nicely with the orange blossom, providing a prominent but nicely rounded out citrus feel, without the spicyness found in the parfum or in l'absolu. This is a very good fragrance for all year wear, but I think it's best for everyday wear in the spring and autumn. Although the price at retail is on the more overpriced side, I still think that this is a good fragrance, especially for younger people. It's inoffensive and can be worn in school or at an office. It's a decent compliment getter, with moderate sillage. On my skin, it lasts 6-8 hours with 8 sprays applied in the morning. Out of the full Myslf line, I think this one is the most versatile. It's a bright, youthful, energetic and uplifiting scent.

Super versatile. I fell in love with this scent the second I smelled it, and even after sampling 100+ fragrances since buying it, it’s still one of my all-time favorites. It’s an excellent everyday fragrance: clean, easygoing, pleasant, and extremely wearable. To me, it’s not quite as sophisticated as Gentle Fluidity Silver, so it doesn’t fill that same refined, soft-sophistication role. It feels a bit more casual and downscaled sophistication-wise. Where this fragrance really shines is versatility. It covers almost every situation that Gentle Fluidity Silver, Prada Luna Rossa Black, Oud Minerale etc dont. I'd reach for this anytime I dont know 100% what to wear. This review might come across as if the fragrance is a "meh" fragrance. It definitely is not. Its among my favorites 100%. Its the best daily I can think of, when I dont feel like putting on Luna Rossa black or GFS etc. Love+
