Ysatis by Givenchy Eau de Toilette Spray 100ml

Product Information

I love Ysatis, it would've been my signature if I wouldn't have L'Air du Temps (which is a totally different scent by the way). Maybe she is in fall and winter...

But I always listen to new music and enjoy it, although I have my favourite bands and composers. But if I had to name just one opera that I would like to see again before the end of my life, a single composer, a single feast or a single novel - I would know what I would answer!Or rather, Ylang Ylang monster. This ylang ylang is wearing one of those "dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians" badges popular in the early 90s, wearing sunglasses from the total eclipse of the aldehydes. All the other flowers are just scuttling around at its coattails like crustaceans, the carnation being the most colorful maid in waiting. If they would have told me she was made in early 20th century, I would have believed them. However, she is timeless. To me, Ysatis feels asif she could have been made much earlier than in the eighties, I don't think 'shoulderpads' or anything like that, when wearing her....

Ysatis is holy opulence, a high roller in a Rolls Royce wearing a sable. As a man wearing it? Do I feel like Liberace? No. Do I feel like I am wearing a costume? Nah. Do I feel feminine? No, but that shouldn't even matter anyhow. I just feel my olfactory receptors telling my brain "yum yum" and "me want more" like Cookie Monster. Ysatis, for example, was an ordinary French perfume that had been composed with care and attention to detail. In 1984, not 2000 new fragrances came onto the market, but a very manageable number in the hundreds. Douglas had no flagship store on the Zeil or the Kö and Guerlain no exclusive ranges. Givenchy, Guerlain, Chanel and Caron were luxury enough with their mainstream fragrances. Those who bought Ysatis surrounded themselves with a noble fragrance and didn't look for the next exclusive edition of Roja Dove, who at that time was probably still a trainee at Guerlain (at least he always tells). Have you ever run after someone on the street to ask them what perfume they wear? I've only done this twice in my life. Once in Nice... as a student... another young woman passed me by and her perfume was incredibly beautiful. It was so good that I followed her... "Vous portez quel parfum...?"Finally, there is the higher-priced segment. The glorious world of niche perfumery. Or the countless exclusive lines... of Chanel, Dior, Lalique... you name it. What once began as a counter-movement to the power of the big cosmetics companies, namely the "niche sector", has creepingly been taken over by the industry that was originally supposed to be fought. Today you are simply underexposed when you are content to buy a "simple" mainstream fragrance for less than 100 Euro at the department store perfumery. Let's just say... like Coco Mademoiselle. Or even No. 5.
