so i got a decant of Lynked Freedom about 2 months ago, hearing it was a mixture of TMW & MYSLF, both of the DNAs which i absolutely adore and i loved the decant more than i expected, instant signature scent that i've been rocking from the decant for a while.

Second option is a Myslf dupe like Nitro Elixir or Lynked Freedom.

I’ve never smelled BDC before, but I have smelled MYSLF and I actually bought Lynked Freedom, which I heard is a dupe.

afnan lynked freedom is very similar to ysl myslf edp with a hardly noticeable touch of caramel.
