Quick answer: Mykonos Conquer is a strong, spicy extrait de parfum for men: bergamot, ginger and cardamom over orris and orange blossom, with patchouli, amber and vanilla in the base. It is made for autumn and winter.
Conquer sits in an interesting place in the Mykonos range: it is both citrus and woody, both fresh and warm. It opens bright and spiced, then settles into a smooth, ambery base that is made for cooler months. If you like the freshness of a citrus scent but want something with more weight, this is where to look.
What Mykonos Conquer smells like
The opening is bergamot with ginger and cardamom. The spices make it warmer and more aromatic than a straight citrus, and give it a slightly sharp, energising edge.
The heart is orris and orange blossom. Orris, from iris root, is powdery and slightly earthy; orange blossom adds a soft, clean floral quality. This is the refined middle of the scent, and it is what makes Conquer feel polished.
The base is patchouli, musk, modern amber and vanilla. This is where the warmth comes from: a smooth, slightly sweet amber with enough patchouli to keep it from feeling sugary.

Longevity and projection
Conquer is an extrait de parfum rated Strong on our intensity scale. The amber-patchouli base gives it real staying power, and it projects more than the lighter citrus scents in the range. Two or three sprays is enough for a full day. It is included in our list of longest-lasting Mykonos perfumes.
When to wear Conquer
We list Conquer for autumn and winter, and for daily wear, work and evenings. The warm base is exactly what cold weather needs, while the bergamot opening keeps it fresh enough for the office. It is a strong choice for a cold-weather signature. In the height of summer, the amber can feel heavy; a lighter citrus like Sorrento is better then.

Conquer sits in our For Him collection and appears in both the citrus and woody & vanilla families. It suits people who want something smart and warm without going into heavy vanilla or tobacco territory. Its inspiration line names YSL MYSLF L'Absolu; read what "inspired by" means for context.
