From your scent profile
Yves Saint Laurent Myslf is a men's fragrance that pairs a fresh opening of bergamot leaf and Calabrian bergamot with Tunisian orange blossom absolute, settling on patchouli and woods.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
Leaves a light trail and stays polite in a crowd.
Sits nicely on a shelf.
The price makes you think, so a small size is a smart start.

WoodyWhat does Myslf smell like?
Citrus and fresh accords lead: the two bergamot notes give a bright start, then the orange blossom adds a soft, sweet floral touch. The base of Indonesian patchouli, woods and Ambrofix dries down spicy and woody, with a clean, synthetic edge alongside.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. Many describe it as masculine and modern. Its profile is close to Yves Saint Laurent Myslf Le Parfum and Prada Paradigme.
