Review of Ysatis Eau de Toilette by Marta_Seraphina

This is a rich, floral oriental composition with a pronounced vintage character. It is a scent from another era, yet not outdated but rather timeless, like a piece of jewellery inherited from a grandmother who knew exactly who she was. The opening strikes with an intense, almost suffocating bouquet of flowers, marked by a clear bitterness and a subtle sharpness. It hits you in the face without warning, bold, assertive and unapologetic. As the initial shock fades, the fragrance grows even denser. The florals here are neither innocent nor delicate; they are mature, heavy and honeyed. In the base, amber and musk, reinforced by woody accords, wrap tightly around your skin, giving the composition a dark depth. A subtle animalic shadow also emerges, which, combined with patchouli and vanilla, gives a dirty sweetness and earthy richness. Longevity is very good, and although the scent settles closer to the skin after about an hour, it remains intense in perception.
