This definitely has old school vibes to it, but I'm not mad at that. It's nice to see some of these classic masterpieces are still being appreciated and available.

Y starts with a clear statement of it being an evening scent or a day time scent for a strong personality. It is vivid, somewhat green, bright and joyful. It smells like a morning. Soon after, I will repeat the reviewer below because I cannot describe it better - there comes iris, and gives Y its signature intellectual character. It becomes a cold afternoon. After around half an hour or an hour, Y warms up, becomes velvety, intriguing, subtle yet remains its strong and intellectual character. It is evening.
