Advantages: Unmistakable sweet scent

Disadvantages: Lacking in subtlety and sophistication

A beautiful distinctive fragrance from YSL. This perfume has lovely heady fruit notes and is sweet.

Notes: Grapefruit, sweet tones of jasmine and vanilla. The main impression is of a sweet grapefruit that does not change notably with the drydown.

Application: best used sparingly as the sweet grapefruit is very strong. You are likely to hear compliments if you put on more than two puffs, but it gets overwhelming very quickly. Definitely one for the evenings.

Bottle: Distinctive design. However does not stand on its own and the applicator can be a little flimsy and break apart with use.

Conclusion: beautiful distinctive perfume, utterly unmistakable in its scent and likely to appeal to younger girls out to make an impression. However, this is not a perfume to blend into the background and is best avoided if you are looking for something subtle for work. It's bold, fruity, however its sweet notes throughout make it less sophisticated than it could have been. One of my favorite perfumes in late teens/early twenties.

Summary: For YSL's younger audience
