A bit of an eighties vibe and rather monotonous; it doesn’t quite suit me. Longevity and projection are average, but what stands out most is that it’s incredibly cheap. Scent: 4/10, Projection: 4/10, Longevity: 4 hours, Bottle: 4.5/10, Price: 9/10.
It’s a fragrance with a vintage feel that I actually like, although it doesn’t last long and has a very strong trail. It’s super economical. I tried it and won’t be buying it again.

The Yanbal Wild from the 80s and 90s was a delight, nothing to envy from today’s designer version. Although it has been reformulated, I still think it’s one of the best from Esika.

Wild is delicious, delicate and timeless; it reminds me a lot of the finish of Wild Country by Avon, but here there’s a mentholated touch and the sandalwood shines, giving it a comforting, delicate and very masculine vibe. It’s one of my all-time favourites. People have told me it smells like Johnson’s baby oil, and the truth is, on a cold night I applied it twenty times, and at a family gathering my very attractive cousin came over, rested her head on my shoulder as if it were a cushion, and very discreetly breathed in my Wild aura. It was obvious her comment was superfluous; her actions spoke louder than a thousand words. It’s an incredibly cosy sensation. The opening recalls that oily oil with a greasy feel, then it becomes powdery and warm. Once dried, it reminds me of classic Brut with that green mossy and patchouli side, while the amber warms everything up until it turns into a comforting sandalwood ointment. Many might not like it, but for me it reduces the risk of strangers asking what you’re wearing on the street. Give it a try.
