The house's perfumes are falling far and fast; over thirty fragrance releases since 2000 (!), and virtually all of them flankers, reruns (four different summer versions of Opium alone), or bandwagon scents. Presumably avant-garde things like M7 and Nu don't pay the bills, so they glom onto the youth market, and I know it's a business first and foremost, but do they honestly have to do what everyone else is doing? “Painfully mediocre” is the most perfect imaginable description of YoungSexyLovely.

In any case it cannot be worse than the painfully mediocre YoungSexyLovely (for which an Intense EDT is launching around november). Couldn't they just release another set of seasonal flankers instead? ;) Perhaps it's for the gender confused?

I don't think YSL is above reaching for the youth market by any means. L'Homme YSL has apparently done extremely well, and I'm sure they'd like to accomplish the same with young women! But yes, at least Baby Doll was arguably ironic. This isn't. Saying your fragrance has “a touch of the masculine” seems to be the new thing — Gwen Stefani L & SJP Covet both say something similar.

What the hell does that even mean? She wears lacy pinafores over boxer shorts? She has a moustache but she waxes it off? She has Hello Kitty handlebars on her Barbie-pink Harley Davidson? Gah! And it has lychee and pink pepper! Gah again! I stupidly would have thought the house of YSL was above this sort of thing. At least Baby Doll was winkingly tongue-in-cheek.
