Being upfront about the comparison

Reason- is our own original composition inspired by YSL Y — 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.
