The Compliment Getter
When I saw the 7.0 rating here, I couldn't help but laugh.

Y EDP also seems to be a fragrance that the community here has a high regard for due to its mainstream suitability. But it does not open up to me at all.

You're getting a lot of compliments on that smell.

He opens with apple, which remains perceptible throughout the entire fragrance.
After about 15 minutes the sage is added, which makes this fragrance different.

In the base we have warm amber wood and the beautiful tonka bean.
A very nice fragrance. In addition, the durability here has been massively increased in contrast to EdT. With me the durability on the skin amounts to approx. 8h+ ! A very good value for a designer fragrance. Because that is no longer a matter of course nowadays. Many fly away after about 2 hours ! This is not the case here and therefore YSY Y EDP is a clear buy for me.

Conclusion: I can only recommend the EDP. If you are looking for a great everyday scent that is not boring and fruity to boot, this is the place to be. You don't have to worry about whether the fragrance is right for this or that occasion. It is a universally applicable EDP. Absolutely suitable for parties, for the office or in your leisure time. It is also clear that Y EDP does not uproot trees in terms of scent DNA, but it is suitable for the mass market and you get many compliments for it. Therefore, the rating of 7.0 is clearly too low for me and I do not think it is comprehensible.

Above all, this fragrance is not seasonal, like many others. Spring, summer, winter... you can wear it anytime.

Clear test recommendation !

INVICTUS 2.0 ? Or did you do it on your own?
I received a sample of DAVIDOFF RUN WILD after I bought a new perfume.
As I had made quite good experiences with Davidoff Intense, I was happy to try it out and must say that I was pleasantly surprised.

The opening really reminds very much of PR's Invictus, but with a not too penetrating sweetness, but a bit fresher and more adult. Nevertheless, a clear chewing gum scent is also in the foreground here. I can't smell the "Madagascar cinnamon" that's listed here.

After about 10 minutes the lavender note comes through and I perceive tonka bean, even if it is not mentioned here either. All in all for me the more interesting scent course than Invictus.

Those who know Invictus know that this fragrance really lasts a long time once you have applied it. It's the same with Run Wild. The durability is very good !

But while Invictus quickly becomes annoying, as the sweetness simply becomes too much effort, Davidoff Run Wild doesn't manage to cross this narrow ridge. The sweetness is still in the range of reasonable and does not annoy.

Nevertheless, Davidoff Run Wild is also just a fragrance that you should wear to the club or in your free time in the evening. In the office or in everyday life I consider it to be out of place, because the similarities to Invictus are too strong and because for me sweet fragrances should generally be worn in my free time and not in the office (but of course this is only my opinion)

Conclusion: nice name, a bit boring bottle and a good alternative to Invictus, as it is not quite as overly sweet as its role model and has a more exciting fragrance.

So if you are looking for an alternative to Invictus, you should definitely try Run Wild by Davidoff

WILD / FRESH / MAINSTREAM = SUCCESS ! Rightly?
Yes, you're right!

With Sauvage, Dior has succeeded in bringing perfumes back into the focus of the masses.
Dior Sauvage had an enormous hype and everyone wanted it.

I'll just say that for many Dior Sauvage was probably the first EdT that came into the collection. Sauvage's fragrance DNA has set new standards and all brands wanted to have a Sauvage in their collection. Prada Luna Rossa Carbon, Writer and what they are all called.

Question: Can a fragrance be so bad if everyone wants one? No!
Sauvage smells fresh and spicy like pepper with a citrus note and has an enormous shelf life, which many highly praised designer fragrances do not have.

If you read through the comments here, you might get the idea that some people have an almost personal dislike for the perfume. All right, but then analyze the scent objectively and not emotionally. In my opinion Sauvage is one of the best releases of the last 10 years in the field of designer fragrances.

I therefore do not consider a rating of 7.6 to be appropriate.

Everyone can have their own opinion, but with this fragrance DIOR has reached the masses like no other competitor.

Conclusion: Mainstream: YES ! But this is not bad / Question: Why is mainstream always seen as bad here?

Fragrance fresh spicy with ambroxan and pepper the perfect match for men.
It was and still is a complimentary fragrance, even in 2020 !
Sauvage can be worn both in the office and in the evening at parties.

So for me the bottom line is the best DIOR fragrance of the last 10 years.
I still like to wear it very much and will continue to wear it :)

In addition, the price/performance ratio is right.
Here fragrances are lifted into the sky with a shelf life of 2 hours. Seriously?

In my opinion it is very important that you always include the price/performance ratio in the evaluation and see what you get for your money. And you can get a lot of it at Dior Sauvage. When I look at fragrances for 300 euros that are praised for their durability, I ask myself why? I can expect that when I spend so much money on a fragrance.

For me, Dior Sauvage clearly cuts the water off all the would-be top fragrances.
In this price range you will find nothing better in terms of durability and freshness.

Thanks for reading it.

If you overdo it, it'll come out
Since the scent here was rated 7.9, I was gripped and thought hey try a new winter scent.

Well, the test is what it came down to.
I don't know what Mercedes was thinking releasing such a horrible synthetic vanilla scent with headache guarantee.

The fragrance opens with vanilla and pulls it through from the first to the last second...you've got to hand it to him. From the durability therefore top ! But who wants to smell of synthetic vanilla for 10 hours? Well, not me.

You could also call this fragrance from Mercedes-Benz a vanilla bomb and not in the positive sense like other vanilla fragrances such as Eros or Tom Ford's Tobacco Vanilla. No, he's practically vomiting synthetic.

The bottle actually has something and that's one of the only good things about this perfume.

If you like a vanilla bomb of the synthetic kind, here you go ! That's your scent!
But if you are looking for high quality vanilla scents, you should rather consider others.

Conclusion: Flacon good, fragrance catastrophe and durability very strong = headache guarantee with only 3 sprays

The King of Vanilla !!!
Actually you don't need to describe EROS much more.

But since I enjoy it, I'll do it anyway.

The opening of this perfume is sensational. Maybe one of the best openings ever. The mint leaf/apple scent is awesome.

After 20 minutes, the vanilla scent comes through, which remains until the end. And the end is only reached after about 10 hours. You can "scent" an entire room with this fragrance, if I may call it that. Not without good reason the fragrance is called "club fragrance" par excellence. Therefore it should be left at 3 spray bursts. In my opinion, this is perfectly sufficient, since one should not overdo it. Because the younger ones like to overdo it with this fragrance. Versace Eros to a reasonable extent (3, at most 4 sprays) and you can enjoy the vanilla all evening/night. The girls really like the smell.

Often it was written here that it was only a "pure club scent".
I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. It is certainly not a perfume that you often encounter in the office. Nevertheless, it can be worn in the office - max. 2 sprays ! Then this is perfectly fine with me, as it is not intrusive. Because Versace Eros has the property to "scent" really whole rooms :)

All in all a great fragrance, which can also be worn by adults, if you don't overdo it. I love wearing it and I don't think of it as "teen scent". That it is often so stamped, I think it's a pity, because Versace has created a great vanilla scent with this perfume, which is perfect for autumn and winter. Of course, our pirouette man on YouTube has contributed a lot to Eros having this reputation.

In conclusion one can say:
1. Opening fantastic !
2. Heart note and base vanilla - also great ! - the best vanilla scent in my opinion from the price/performance ratio.

A great fragrance for a reasonable price in the designer area.
