How Essence compares to YSL MYSLF
The same scent direction, our own UK-made composition, a fraction of the price. Here is the honest picture.

Notes you will recognise
Being upfront about the comparison
Essence is our own original composition inspired by YSL MYSLF — it is not a clone or a replica, and no inspired-by fragrance is. What you get is the same masculine scent direction and note structure, blended by hand in the UK as a long-lasting Extrait de Parfum.
Worn side by side you would recognise the family resemblance straight away, and you would also notice differences in the opening and in how it settles on your skin. We think that is a fair trade at this price, but we would rather you know exactly what you are buying.
