“Ginger, cardamom, and orange blossom on patchouli — MYSLF's brighter, livelier cousin.”
The 2025 L'Absolu in YSL's MYSLF line, which began with the 2023 EDP and added a Le Parfum in 2024. Christophe Raynaud keeps orange blossom at the center, framed by ginger and cardamom over a patchouli base. Citrus and white-floral accords lead, with fresh and warm spice. Versatile across seasons and day-to-night.
The take
What works
- ●Ginger-bergamot-cardamom versatile masculine-leaning unisex
- ●Strong projection compliment-getting trail
Trade-offs
- ●Marketing fatigue from MYSLF flanker overload
- ●Redundant for owners of previous versions
