However, I prefer the original Y from 2017. I thought the original was a nice departure from the ambroxan dominant frags that are permeating designer fragrances now. This one is a much better performer, but to me hints of foul ambroxan.

I was lucky enough to be able to smell this at Indigo Perfumery a week before the release date. Ann, the owner, received a sample of it and sprayed it on a card an hour before I arrived. Among the many cards we sprayed and put on her counter one stuck out beautifully; it was Hyde. She let me spray some on me and I can't wait till I am able to purchase a full bottle. My YouTube review is below.

I saw 2 Auphorie on discount at my local shop and was interested in the other, then I gave Zen another chance and started falling for it. It opens with a sweet honey to my nose, but for the next 12 hours, it takes me on a journey where I realize this fragrance makes me feel good. Toward the future, I can see myself wearing this at first for me, then soon after it becomes clear this frag is for everyone to know and respect you. - A night in the East with no itinerary other than to explore is what I first felt when trying this. Soon I realize the strength I sensed at the top has deleted and now I am left to fend off the others, with just it's beauty. Not sure if I am winning, but I am in the Zen zone, and that is all that matters. I am protected for at least 12 hours, so it is here I will stay, enjoy the environs, and smell divine :) [Initial review brought to you from my first day with it and with a supporting character named Ambien. :) Good Night :)

I have seen talk in fragcom about this being very similar to the 2016 release, I don't find this to be true, but I do find this to be a better fragrance. Many may not agree since the 2016 was very popular.

I happened to find this one discounted along with the others in the Woody Collection. Strange to see them already being discounted/discontinued? since I think they just came out, but am very glad to have this in my collection! Some say similar to Santal 33, I will have to do a side-by-side test, but this frag is good enough to stand on it's own
