What do reviewers say about Garnet and Yves Saint Laurent Y?
The lavender here is sharp, not soft. That herbal bite runs through the heart and doesn't apologize for it. If you're expecting a safe, soapy male frag, this isn't it.Garnet
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
