YSL Beauty's MYSLF Makes Me Smell Sporty

YSL Beauty MYSLF Review

MYSLF is the brand’s attempt at making a modern fragrance, a slight departure from a company known for traditional styles. The scent combines woody and floral fragrances with a clean, fresh top note that’s almost citrusy. Most importantly, they claim that it’ll have a different effect on each person’s natural smells, resulting in a fragrance that complements your natural musk. 

My initial impression of the smell was that it smelled clean, sporty, and… slightly European? Maybe those are just my associations, but I was into the lightness and the musky balance between wood and the fresh bergamot top notes. It definitely struck the right balance of old-school and modern, and cooled off into a relaxed scent as the day went on. The initial fragrance was somewhat powerful for someone who doesn’t normally wear cologne (that may just be the eau de parfum effect), but once it settled in I felt great. In my mind, YSL Beauty struck the right tone with their MYSLF scent, and I’m rocking it for the time being.
