=Ysatis= I have been going through my perfume supplies, I coming to a couple of conclusions, I either smell, I'm a hoarder or spend too much money. Joking apart, I love receiving the sets of Mini perfumes as it gives me an opportunity to try new fragrences out.

A great all round perfume

none

The perfume starts out with a blast–woody, floral, sweet, and powdery, accompanied with refreshing citrus notes and creamy coconut. Lush white floral notes, mostly fruity jasmine and ylang-ylang, dominate for the next few hours, before mellowing into a sweet and creamy dry down.

In 1927 the designer of this fragrance is born. When he had learned enough, he borrowed a sum of money to start a fashion house. In 1957 he took the headlines with his first fragrance to link this with the familiar face of Audrey Hepburn. This was a huge success.

I'm surprised that jasmine is not in the fragrance card i can smell pervasive amounts of it. to the skin it brings out a soapish scent with an opening of aldehydes the civet i think makes it heavy and oily i do notice a bit of coconut which suble but nicely done.

I haven't had a bottle of this fragrance for about 30 years. It takes me back to another time and place, as fragrance can do! I honestly don't know why I have stayed away so long because it's as beautiful, unusual, long-lasting and uplifting to me as it was then. Love it!

Great Smell; Long-Lasting; Sensual

Too Expensive

The description of this item says "EDT Spray (Tester) / 3.3 oz - Tester" which is very misleading. I don't know why this is described as a "tester". You receive a new, packaged and cellophane wrapped box of 3.3 oz of Ysatis. Very good price for the product and fast prime shipping.

Ysatis is exchangable with the word identity for me. She and I are old loves. I got her when I was very young when she first came out, and wore her as a signature for 20 years. I still have an original bottle and it smells....like me. I don't wear her much anymore.... but when I do....

Ysatis is a fresh white floral magic, mysteriously emotional, smart and sensual fragrance with a complex, deep dry down. Luxuriant, bombastic essence begins with gay aperture of aldehydes, fruity mandarin and subtly lubricating, nourishing coconut, woody, heady to slightly bitterly green galbanum,...

I was very satisfied with the shipping time and had thought this fragrance had been discontinued by Givenchy as I had asked in various stores and they did not know about the name.

Clean & Fresh; Draws Compliments; Great Smell; Great Value; Long-Lasting

I've used this for years - ever since a French exchange student gave me it as a gift when he stayed with us (or should I say his mum did!!) I'm always being complimented on how lovely it smells.
