French Defense - For me, this is hands-down one of Yom and Layl’s best creations. From the first spray, it hits with a richness that feels smooth, confident, and effortlessly classy. The 40% oil concentration keeps it projecting strong and lasting all day—people still ask me what I’m wearing hours later. I love how it works just as well for a big night out as it does for an everyday signature scent. The way the notes blend and transition on my skin feels perfectly balanced and never overpowering. This one always gets me compliments, and it’s easily my go-to from Yom and Layl’s lineup.

This is extremely close to Mind Games French Defense, albeit the opening in the original isn't quite the same. However, in the dry down of this fragrance you can't really tell the difference between the two. This is definitely a head turner.
