Ysatis Eau de Toilette by Givenchy | Fragrance Fragrance
What does Ysatis smell like?
Ysatis is a sprawling, multi-layered "powerhouse" floral chypre that captures the maximalist spirit of the mid-1980s. When you first spray it, you are met with an expansive burst of sparkling aldehyde...
The fragrance is widely recognized for its exceptional longevity and projection, with some vintage enthusiasts noting it can remain detectable on the skin for over 24 hours.
Enthusiasts frequently categorize Ysatis alongside other legendary, uncompromising chypres like Clinique Aromatics Elixir and Chanel Cristalle, noting its distinctive "lived-in" animalic depth.
There is a clear consensus that the fragrance is best suited for evening wear and formal "nights out," particularly during the colder fall and winter months.
A central point of discussion among collectors is the difference between formulations; while the vintage is described as a "massive" and thick floral, the modern version is seen as a brighter, more wearable, and slightly soapier interpretation.
Value opinions are generally high, as the potency of the juice means a single bottle lasts a long time, given that very few sprays are required for a full day of wear.
