Opening is scary-close to Y EDP; the mid and drydown reveal the gap with more sweetness and the occasional synthetic edge. Strong performer.

Dossier
Aromatic Pineapple
Eleven reviewers who know Y compare the two, and those who name a version say the Eau de Parfum. Four find it very close; six call it a twist, with pineapple in place of the apple and less sweetness; one puts it at little more than half alike. Wear time runs from three to eight hours.

2026 Rasasi Hawas flanker widely reviewed as 85–90% close to YSL MYSLF (L'Absolu) — shares the bergamot/ginger/apple-over-woody-amber DNA in a youthful, slightly sweeter, smoother reading. Consistent comparison across Fragrantica, Parfumo and YouTube first-impression reviews.

Dua Fragrances
True Self
Dua Fragrances sells True Self on its own product page as “Inspiration: MYSLF Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent” — the same pink-pepper-orange-blossom-ambrofix woody profile in a 34ml extrait. Manufacturer-stated and matched to the MYSLF EDP (Dua sells the L’Absolu flanker separately as True Self Absolute); no community score evidence yet, so no score is shown.

Dua Fragrances sells Her Paris on its own product page as "Inspiration: Mon Paris by YSL" — the same strawberry-raspberry-pear-datura fruity-chypre profile in a 34ml extrait. The inspired-by pairing is manufacturer-stated and matched to the original Mon Paris (not a flanker); we have no community accuracy or longevity evidence yet, so no score is shown.

Dua Fragrances
RendezvousHighest-scored match
Dua's recreation of the vintage 2009 L'Homme formula — the richer version before reformulation. Opens with fresh bergamot and white ginger, evolves through violet leaves, ozonic notes, and white pepper, finishes on cedarwood, Haitian vetiver, and tonka. The go-to when you miss the old bottle.

Dossier
Woody BasilCheapest with a scoreProvisional
Dossier's direct L'Homme inspiration — community reports around 95% similarity. Uplifting crisp basil-ginger opening with a hidden hint of violet; black pepper and lavender in the heart; tonka-patchouli base. Cleaner IFRA-compliant formula so projection is more modest (5-6 hours) but blind-test accuracy is strong.

Al Rehab
LordThe Scent File Pick
About two dozen reviewers who know Kouros describe it as half Kouros and half Lapidus Pour Homme: soapier and less animalic than Kouros. It is extremely strong and long lasting, a day and more.

Al Rehab

Secondary Al Rehab masculine cited in the Fragrantica "Perfume like OLD Kouros" thread as a cheap animalic-honey alternative. Not a 1:1 clone but shares the powerhouse leather-honey skeleton when you need the vibe on a budget.

Dana
TabuCheapest with a score
Thirteen reviewers who know the original Opium place Tabu in the same vintage spiced-amber family rather than as a copy: about half find it similar, one owner of a 1984 Opium bottle calling it close to the old Opium, and the rest find it dirtier, more animalic and less sweet. Wear time is reported unevenly — strong on vintage bottles but modest on the current formula, with several owners getting only three to six hours and one gone within the hour.
