What Is ALT Fragrances Identity a Dupe Of?

The fragrance behind ALT Fragrances Identity is Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF Eau de Parfum. It is a clone pairing built around citrus, neroli and amber woods. We’d start with that idea, then look at how each scent puts its own notes together.

The idea behind the comparison

MYSLF Eau de Parfum is the reference behind Identity. ALT’s description names citrus and neroli alongside cedarwood and a synthetic ambergris accord, giving you a floral-to-woody balance to compare.

How do their notes compare?

The named notes for ALT Fragrances Identity include Crisp Citrus, Floral Bouquet, Tunisian Neroli, Earthy Elements, Sumatran Cedarwood and Synthetic Ambergris. Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF Eau de Parfum lists Calabrian bergamot, Bergamot, Tunisian Orange Blossom, Ambrofix™ and Patchouli among its own notes.

Use those notes as a guide when trying the pair. What matters is how they fit together: a brighter opening, a softer floral middle or a drier base can change the whole impression even when some of the ingredients sound familiar.

What would we look for in a sample?

Look for how prominent the neroli feels once the citrus settles. We’d then compare the warmth and dryness of the woody finish.

If you can get samples of both, use a similar amount and give each one time on skin. Come back to the comparison later in the day, especially if the opening and the base appeal to you for different reasons.

Which bottle makes more sense?

The choice comes down to how much you enjoy this balance on skin and which bottle fits your budget. We’d compare the current offers for ALT Fragrances Identity and Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF Eau de Parfum, including the bottle size and delivery cost. Give a sample enough time before committing, especially if the opening is your favorite part but you are less sure about the finish.
