What do reviewers say about Michelle and Ysatis?
The aldehydes here aren't nostalgia. They're a challenge. Coconut and gardenia warm the opening until you can't tell if you're smelling a 1979 perfume or a timeless one.Michelle
Ysatis doesn't negotiate. It opened in 1984 knowing exactly what it was, and the decades since haven't changed its mind. If you've been burned by aldehydes, this one earns another chance.Ysatis
