Yves Saint Laurent Opium - Not for me!

Advantages: Amazing staying power, easily available
Disadvantages: Very heady and clinging

I know this perfume has it´s dedicated followers, ´"addicts" even! who would not consider wearing anything else. Additionally, men seem to buy it a lot for their ladies, so maybe men find it attractive (sensual even), or, they are following the crowd or the sales girl. BUT SORRY! for me who had this bought for me as a present by a well meaning boyfriend, you cannot get rid of the scent, it follows you without mercy, lives in your wardrobe and on ...
...I found it far too strong and heady for me. However, for those who like Opium, it has to be said it has FANTASTIC staying power, is modern and attractively packaged, and although not cheap, one does not need to use a lot. All I would advise - ladies, when testing, make sure you test for at least a few hours and see if you still find it attractive - gentlemen - check your lady is an Opium lover first - it could save you a lot of money, and her wearing ...

IF YOU ASK ME Y?

Advantages: Beautiful light powdery rose fragrence.
Disadvantages: Lasting power not too great.

'Y' Perfume by Yves Saint Laurent Y is one of the many perfumes from the range of Yves Saint Laurent. It comes in a plain white box with gold writing and a large Y to the front. The weight on the bottle I have, which is a vaporisateur is 100ml 3.3 fl oz. The bottle is square and the gold push down spray top is a fanned shape. It has a good solid look to it, and is finished off with gold writing to the front. Created in 1964, Y was brought ...
...Yves Saint Laurent. It's a classic fragrance, quite timeless really, and a suitable perfume for day or night I would say. It's light and green, with notes of jasmine. It has a delicate smell of powdery roses, quite lovely, and Y is one of my very favourite perfumes. I find it a little similar to Rive Gauche, only much lighter. Y is quite a subtle scent , light and gracious. I love French perfume, and I am quite choosy about the perfumes that I use, ...

Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme Concentrate Cologne **PURE CLASSY**

Advantages: Good Value and super classy smell, not too strong but will be noticeable.
Disadvantages: None for me ,although the bottle could be a little more elegant to match the smell.

...elegant in the French language. Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme swept me completely off of my feet. I was in the department store with a close buddy who was looking for D&G cologne, when the ever so clever and informative sales lady persuaded us to take a closer look at YSL. The marketing of YSL was not as strong as the other brands at the counter so I didn’t notice this silent but venomous killer scent. One whiff and my perfume life would never be ...

Elle for Ellie

Advantages: Smell, Staying power, can be worn on any occassion
Disadvantages: Bottle seems slightly fragile, possibly value for money

I absolutely adore this perfume!! It has a quirky design, with a pink bottle and gold lettering making it a huge attraction for the girly girl. Although being quite clumsy I am always afraid of dropping the bottle as it does appear a little fragile. YSL is a very fashionable name and many girls always dream of owning a little bit of fashion and for this price they now can. I received my bottle of perfume as a gift however, from the price comparison ...
...a fairly reasonable price of £35, which in the broad scheme of things is not too bad. This mixed with the fact that you only need to use 2 squirts at a time meaning it will last for ages!!! The smell is fruity and sweet with a slight hint of spice but it's not over-bearing. The staying power is amazing and with 2 squirts it will last at least 12 hours. The smell is irresistable and can be worn for any occassion as it smells great anywhere. I would ...
