I'm not too familiar with the YSL house, other than reading reviews. I own Live Jazz, which I love more and more as I wear it. I've tried Opium but and wasn't too impressed. Smelled like a less sweet more watered down version of Obsession. I didn't try it on my skin though, nor did I get much time to smell it (which was sprayed in the cap once) I'm willing to give it another shot, but I don't think it's gonna be my style based on what I have smelled, and the reviews I see. Then there's King Kouros, I don't wanna say too much because I may offend a Kouros fan ::Cough::idontwannasmelllikeb/o::cough:: LOL anyways, so Kouros isn't my bag either.
I'm incapable of making a poll thing, but I will say I've been intrigued with Body Kouros for a while. Never smelled it, never even seen it until BN. I do enjoy Le Male, and Lolita Lempicka, so I think this may be good. But at the same time, I want something that smells different from what I have. I wouldn't want it to smell too much like LM or LL. I'm also a little interested in the original Jazz, but I'm afraid it may be more on that classic type style like Opium or Kouros. I know more people my age and younger who would wear Live Jazz, and probably Body Kouros (judging by notes and reviews) than the the originals. It's been said that neither of these smell even remotely like their flankers too. Then there's Rive Gauche, which I know has a ton of love. Not just on BN, but everywhere, wherever I see a review of RG, it's a good one. And, I'm not at all opposed to scents like that, I happen to love Azzaro ph. But, again, I have never smelled it so it may be too soon to tell, but from what I understand, one can get a general idea of a "barbershop" smell. I'm sure I'll actually purchase this at some point, because it just looks like a great classic.. even though it's newer. There are classics that come along every now and then that are just modern by their release date. But for now, I have a full bottle of Aph, and I feel like it's not priority. It's like, i already know I'm gonna like it, without having smelled it at all. It may be great, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna wanna wear it or have to have it, ya know? Of course you do!
Anyways, so that brings me to this.. YSL ph. Not spoken of much, but I haven't looked passed it. I love lemon, and I enjoy vetiver (if done right) But is this not mentioned much because it's outdated? Do tell, as for now, it's a part of this poll.
So it comes down to this.. everything stated except for Rive Gauche since I basically already have it, in my eyes, I just don't physically have it, nor do I need it now. I just know I'll like it, but I'm not gonna get any satisfaction with it now.
So it comes down to these..
Body Kouros
Jazz
Opium (willing to try again)
YSL ph
Please look back into my fragrance and select by rating, to see my likes and dislikes. I'm leaning towards Body Kouros now.
Also on those newer ones brought to us in like 2006 and later, a few in the hexagon like bottles, are any of those worth wild? I know they get a lot of good reviews, but that good just mean it's a good basic versatile fragrance, which is not something I'm looking for now. I want something a little more unique, and I've decided to go with something from YSL. I'm also extremely interested in M7, but can't find it for as low of a price as these 4.
Sorry if I bored you or seemed repetitive in this long post, I just wanted to be as specific as possible. All of your feedback will help me in my purchase, thanks!
