First off, I’m seeing something about “MYSLF Yves Saint Laurent” and then a list of alternatives. Valentino Uomo Born in Roma is apparently supposed to be kinda similar. I mean, I dunno, I haven’t smelled them side-by-side, but Born in Roma is pretty decent, if you’re into that whole Valentino vibe. My personal opinion? I’m more of a Tom Ford kinda guy, but hey, to each their own, right? I’m not tryna yuck anyone’s yum.
Then there’s this “Genérico Nº 55” which is supposed to be, like, a dupe of YSL Black Opium. Now, here’s my take on generic perfumes. Sometimes they’re surprisingly good, like, “wow, I can’t believe this cost me five bucks!” But most of the time? You get what you pay for, y’know? It might smell *kinda* like Black Opium for, like, five minutes, then it fades into some weird, chemical-y scent that makes you wanna scrub your skin raw. Just sayin’. My advice? Save up and get the real deal, or find a legit, well-reviewed dupe. Don’t just grab some random bottle off the shelf at the discount store. You’ll probably regret it.
And then… keychains? Formula 1 and Honda motorcycle keychains? What does this even *have* to do with generic YSL? I’m… genuinely confused. Maybe they’re just trying to, like, associate YSL with coolness and speed? *shrug* Honestly, the marketing’s got me baffled. Like, are they hoping people will buy the keychain *and* the perfume? Seems kinda random, doesn’t it?
YSL itself, the real deal, is obviously a big name in beauty. They got the perfumes, the makeup, all that jazz. And yeah, they’re known for being “ousada, moderna e sofisticada.” Which basically means “bold, modern, and fancy.” I guess. I mean, I can dig it. They do some cool stuff.
