What do reviewers say about Fairchild and Yves Saint Laurent Y?
Fairchild doesn't smell like aquatics. Most marine fragrances give you salt water, this gives you seaweed, mineral and vegetal, the ocean after a storm.Fairchild
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
