At Fragrance Familia, we believe every fragrance tells a story, and sometimes, that story unfolds beautifully over time. That’s exactly what happened when I decided to wear YSL Myslf, Yves Saint Laurent's new perfume, overnight. Here's how this versatile scent performed through the night—and why it might deserve a spot in your cologne collection.
First Impressions: Bergamot Brilliance
From the moment I sprayed YSL Myslf onto my skin, it was clear this fragrance means business. The opening is an invigorating blast of Calabrian bergamot, so fresh and zesty it felt like a jolt of positive energy. If you’re a fan of bright, citrusy starts, this is one that will immediately grab your attention.
The bergamot pairs seamlessly with a subtle orange blossom, adding a touch of sweetness to balance out the zest. It’s vibrant, uplifting, and made me feel ready to tackle anything—even as I was winding down for the night.
How It Evolves: From Bright to Comforting
As the fragrance settled, the brightness of the bergamot began to mellow, giving way to the warm and soothing base notes of Ambrofix and patchouli. The orange blossom stayed noticeable but blended into a soft, comforting backdrop.
This shift from energetic and lively to calm and grounded makes YSL Myslf incredibly versatile. You can wear it during a busy day to energize yourself or let it soothe you during a quiet evening. By the time I woke up, the fragrance had settled into a cozy yet fresh trail on my skin—an impressive feat for a scent often labeled as “basic.”
When to Wear YSL Myslf
One of the standout qualities of Yves Saint Laurent’s new perfume is its versatility. Whether you’re heading to a casual lunch, a formal dinner, or even a low-key workout, this fragrance fits the vibe. Its approachable nature and well-balanced notes mean it won’t overpower in intimate settings, yet it has enough character to make an impression in social gatherings.
This is a scent that works year-round, but its fresh opening makes it particularly suitable for spring and summer. If you're looking for a daily signature fragrance, YSL Myslf has the range to be your go-to.
