It was a sad, sad day in history when they reformulated (purple box). We're not stupid Givenchy (they denied it)!!! The synthetic presence is highly detectable! Wish we knew when companies were going to change/discontinue items. For those who wore Ysatis in the 80's and 90's, do you remember the Ysatis spray oil in the white and gold Ysatis4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660179205328520669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-14973090107415016202015-03-11T19:30:45.235-04:002015-03-11T19:30:45.235-04:00Hi All,

It is sophisticated and every gentleman I have had the pleasure of dating has told me that it is a "memorable" scent. One guy bought it for his wife after we stopped dating (we were both single when we dated!!!)

Yesterday I went to the drugstore again to get another whiff of it. I'm in love! I have the scent in my nose and brain and I felt like checking out what others say about it. That's how I found your blog.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-42555633064723636552013-02-05T20:52:28.658-05:002013-02-05T20:52:28.658-05:00Hey!

I was introduced to Ysatis in middle school (I saw it in a thrift store and figured if it smelled half as good as the name sounded, I was in good shape) and fell in love with it (I'm 28 now). I've tried various scents over the last 10 years, and I find myself always longing for the sophistication of Ysatis.

I was handed a sample of Divine on holiday in St Malo and immediately smelt Ysatis which I have worn since I was 18 (I'm now 43). I've just finished a bottle of Ysatis and was going to buy one on the boat out to France but when I smelt the sample I thought that it hadn't definitely changed - it didn't smell as rich and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-45934503051191649002011-07-22T03:36:10.065-04:002011-07-22T03:36:10.065-04:00Always Ysatis!

I have searched the world, but the parfum is no longer manufactured, only the eau du toilette. I am crushed. Virtually every time I wear it, there are compliments. The Eau just doesn't have the longevity of the parfum.

I wore it in the early 1980s for my job as a fashion writer/pr person and I loved it -- I always felt so elegant and sophisticated in it. To my nose, today's version seems perhaps not quite as good as the original, but it's still wonderful and has more class than a lot of new stuffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-22666118204173683092010-03-01T17:50:20.174-05:002010-03-01T17:50:20.174-05:00I'm with you on Ysatis!

Lots of musk & moss in the dry down. The old minis are all over Ebay. Definitely worth picking one up. And I've smelled the newer formulation. I think the older version has more "Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13647932199103337044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415795419713091856.post-60905387958495037612010-02-28T09:12:57.358-05:002010-02-28T09:12:57.358-05:00Ysatis was my first extrait de parfum ever.

It was the only perfume my sister tolerated, everything else was being designated as 'toiletcleaner', including Diorissimo! <br />I still have the little empty bottle in the box, and for me it represents magic. The fact that my sister accepted this scent attributed to that.

It's an ounce. I haven't smelled the new Ysatis but I need to. I imagine it's not as nice. I smell lemon in mine, a nice custard lemon, and a lot of civet and musks. I've smelled Iris.
