MYSLF is the eau de parfum Yves Saint Laurent launched in August 2023, the house’s first masculine woody floral, signed by Daniela Andrier, Christophe Raynaud and Antoine Maisondieu. Two Calabrian bergamots, a Tunisian orange blossom absolute and a base of Indonesian patchouli and Ambrofix make up the formula. Austin Butler is its face, and the black bottle is refillable.
Elena Knezevic (Fragrantica) sees a powerful and very conservative fougère; Michael Adams (Michael 84), a pleasant, elegant and consensual fragrance, close to Sauvage.
Olfastory’s review
Elena Knezevic, Fragrantica, August 2023
On August 11, 2023, Elena Knezevic, who expected a sweet fragrance, discovered a powerful fougère, frankly masculine to the point of anonymity: clean-laundry citrus, dihydromyrcenol freshness, a streak of aftershave.
She judges it so conservative that it belies the idea of an emotional true self sold by the house, while finding it less simple and less dull than Burberry’s Hero, thanks to its two bergamots, its bravura and a soft spot for Libre.
Michael Adams, Michael 84, January 2024
On January 24, 2024, Michael Adams, who received it as a gift, finds it beautiful, elegant and pleasant, close to Sauvage and to blue fragrances such as Bleu de Chanel or Luna Rossa Ocean. Consensual, it will please almost everyone, which makes it hardly singular; he recommends it to men aged 18 to 50.
