La Collection Pour Homme Yves Saint Laurent for men

Smell is very strong from single application. wanted to keep paper-blot to test mid and base tones. 20 minutes past had to throw it away from car window as it was giving me headache. Sharp mossy, no for me. very expensive as well.

In all honestly, I couldn't tell this apart from the original, so the fragrance itself definitely gets a thumbs up.
The problem lies in the price. This is far more expensive for no apparent reason other than it being a collector's edition.

If you can find the original, grab it.

This indeed reminds eau sauvage. The perfume starts almost the same but in a while, you get the feeling of a more animalic/herbal smell. Will check and revert with regards to the longevity etc.
The dry down brings to mind egoiste platinum, maybe there is some geranium in this.
UPDATE:
for a citrus smell more or less, the duration is very good...I get more than 5-6 hours and is enough for this type of scent. I like the way it develops from deeply citrucy to herbal/animalic/dirty type that is not offending, indeed nice citrus fragrance.
not necessarily for summer as i see it to suit better in winter/autumn. Civet type smell and summer do not mix.
Maybe the mossy dry down gives this animalic type smell...somehow old fashion but finally i consider Eau Sauvage much much better and wearable today.

Is it me or is one of the perfume's note is near "fecal" ?

If you have Gucci by Gucci, 1 Million, Channel Bleu, YSL La Nuit, CH 212VIP, and you want to smell a bit different in a vintage classic way, with awe and splendour, then this is a classic masculine fragrance which will be different in one of the nicest ways possible..
Or you could smell like the rest of the crowd!!

Believe it or not, IMO, the most successful reintroduction among the YSL classic masulines is Pour Homme which is still made of sparkling citrusy notes on top and a strong old-fashioned mossy middle phase that immediately brings to mind of the splendors of YSL during those years. I don't have a vintage Pour Homme to make a comparison but, from what I remember, it used to have a strong lavander presence which is now completely missing. The current version has also a slightly different base which seats somewhere between vintage Equipage and Eau D'Hermes but it's still darn good.
