What do reviewers say about Papiro and Yves Saint Laurent Y?
The guava opening is a statement, bright, tropical, and a little wild. Most woody fragrances play it safe with citrus, but this one doesn't apologize.Papiro
The confidence you'd wear if you weren't trying to prove anything. Bright opening, then something earned. The people who get it already know themselves.Yves Saint Laurent Y
