this most definitely smells like black opium.
Comments:
nice fragrance reminds me a bit like joop red bottle as well but seems to last well

Got this for about €2. Wasn't expecting much but was really surprised by this. With 9 sprays you get about 7 hours with about 1 and a half hours of projection with a medium sillage. I though that I would have to douse myself to get any sort of performance! Given the mediocre performance of the original the price of this makes you question what YSL are putting in the current formulation. More linear an less complex but at the price this has to be 5/5. Just make sure you get 4-5 sprays on your clothes to prolong the top notes otherwise they can be fleeting.

This perfume of hiltons is exceptionally close to Manifesto. It lacks the rich sweet depth of Manifesto but as a cheap alternative its a winner.

I just added a review on my fb account. It is my life rolling passed me. I had stopped buying Paris as I am on a serious budget. But i can totally afford this. Amazing. So intense. If you need a lasting fragrance just spay it on some moisturing cream. It will set it for hours.
Comments:
Smells just like Paris, and at a fraction of the price. I bought a set of 4 x 55ml on Amazon for under £17. Perfect stocking fillers.
Comments:
This smells just like Paris. I always get comments when i wear it. Great fragrance, great value, you won't be dissapointed.
Comments:

Lasts a night shift
Definitely buying this till I get bored

This was a gift from my daughter, I only wear a few expensive perfumes so was surprised it was a really lovely light floral scent, not too heavy if used sparingly and lasted well. I was really impressed and to be honest couldn't believe it was £1 will definitely keep buying this one. Would pay more if the bottle was Nicer
Comments:
Love this perfume, one of my favourites. Not too strong but lasts.
Comments:
My nan loved it, perfect birthday present. Smells just like Paris. Thank you so much. Going to be buying off you again.
Comments:
It's like smelling flowers in may. Quite nice.
Comments:
Yes it is a fabulous copy of Paris, the original version that is. I was transported back to the girls in the office in the 80's, all power suits and curly perms dripping in the stuff- me included! It's extremely longlasting so go easy on that rather over-keen sprayer on the bottle. I love it.
Comments:
I like this version better than the reformulated Paris as the smell alike reminds me of the original.
Comments:
this is an exact copy of ysl paris and a reasonable price too.
Comments:
I'd buy kuros in the 80s for my hubby! Who was my boyfriend at the time. It was expensive then but to expensive now for sure so just thought I'd give it a try! Smells just like it to me, we are very pleased.
Comments:
Love this scent top shelf smells just like it cant tell diference
Comments:
Smells like my dad's pipe collection. Truly awful.
Comments:
Very strong smell just like 90s version.
Comments:
old school smell like back in a nightclub in the late 1980s
Comments:
I bought this because I love the smell of YSL Kouros. I must say this is a superb copy fragrance and smells exactly like the original but for a much less price tag. the smell last for hours and I can still smell it after 8 hours. I will be buying this for years to come.
Comments:
great fragrance smells same if not better lasting than YSL kuros
Comments:
This a clone of old-school Kouros. It has an animalic (some would say dirty) opening. It dries down to a clean and soapy scent, and becomes indistinguishable from the Kuoros available in the stores today. Longevity is an impressive 12 hours. It projects for about 3 hours or so and has a strong spillage. You only need 3 quick sprays of this (careful with the Milton Lloyd sprayer). You can pick this up for less than €5 if you shop around. This is must buy for Kuoros fans everywhere.
Did a review of it here:

This is amazing!! I bought Kouros as a teenager. This is as close and long lasting as you gonna get without spending £35.
Comments:
I have both this and the original. You cannot tell the difference between them. Milton Lloyd are some of the best copies you can get. Excellent.Five stars.
Comments:
Really lovely smell and lasts for ages too.. very close
To YSL..
Comments:
I found this perfume at Aldi, and i really think it smells similar to Mon Paris YSL.
Comments:
Panache is light and bright. Aldehydes, citrus, spice and white flowers. Very good value for money too.
Comments:
Mankind is the most identical to YSL L'homme in every way, however, it does not last long either. But, for the cheaper price it is more worth it.
Comments:
Not bad but it doesn't have that brightness as the original one which in my opinion is the most inviting element of YSL L'Homme.
Comments:
It’s supposed to be the dupe of Libre, it is indeed somewhat similar but not as long lasting of course.
Comments:
A nice lemon, mandarin opening , then a tonka powdery drydown. It's very weak,barely lasted a couple of hour's. With hardly any projection.
