The take

What works

  • EDP concentration gives the EDT's framework significantly better longevity
  • Cognac base adds warmth that carries it from fall through spring
  • Polished and versatile — one of YSL's best everyday masculine options

Trade-offs

  • The upgrade from EDT is noticeable but not dramatic
  • Safe enough to be forgettable if you're seeking a signature piece
