I work in the fragrance department in macys & when I first got my nose on this fragrance a few days ago I wasn’t amazed at all I remember helping a client in my store by spaying Y edp on a card & Y Elixir on the other she said she couldn’t really smell the Elixir version compared to Y Edp & loved the smell of the Edp better once I spoke about pricing she was sold on the Y Edp compared to Elixir she’s like you get more for less money & it smells stronger then this small Elixir that’s $180 all I said was great choice ✅

I went to macys several days ago hoping y elixir was gonna be different and bold like sauvage elixir.... I was disappointed. I bought a backup bottle of sauvage elixir, and I'm only sticking with y le parfum the most sophisticated and unique fragrance in the Y lineup

Great review Ash! I respect that you don't hold back when it comes to criticism, and pointing flaws in your reviews! One of my favorite reviews from you are of Dior Homme 2020 and Valentino Born in Roma, where you don't necesarily hate the fragrance, but didn't like the direction that these companies go, when they are no longer coming with anything unique or out there, or when they don't bother to step out of their comfort zone like with Y Elixir, pretty disappointed that this one doesn't do anything special, now I know I shouldn't bother trying it if it's not that much different at all to the other flankers.

@andrewgk232 5 ай бұрын

I am glad you’re always honest. That being said I do truly enjoy this Y. This could be because I only own one other Y and that’s the edp. L’Elixir is my favorite one for sure. Maybe it’s some subconscious of the price I paid. But hey everyone has their own opinion. Others like me love it.

@reallyfamous217 2 ай бұрын

Respect the review. I actually have tested this out a few times and I agree, I noticed the similarity to the YSL Y EDP, but at the same time it’s expected because it’s apart of the Y line. Everybody has their opinion, but for me personally I think this is 🔥. I won’t say it’s an upgrade to the EDP, but I think the perfumer possibly took some similarities from the EDP and made it its own unique luxurious fragrance. One thing I learned w/ fragrances is just try it for yourself. Everybody genetic make up is different. What smells superb to me may be different for you and vice versa. But from my few experiences w/ this fragrance, especially if you’re a Y fan, this is definitely a buy for me. Easily.

@raulsaavedra709 5 ай бұрын

Great review. Price-wise ought to be compared also with Gucci Elixir. I think Dior Elixir and Gucci Elixir are also in fact in a similar quality tier, basically the best two elixirs currently on the market imho. Followed by Boss Elixir, and then JPG Le Male Elixir. Must smell it, but given how I find the Y EDP smell itself (just an ok, not even a like) I think Y Elixir will be waaaaay behind most other elixirs on the market for me.

I bought this in the last couple of weeks, received before wider release. Within a few days I sold it for double what I paid. I managed to achieve pretty much the same scent by layering Missoni Pour Homme with Faconnable Riviera. Riviera itself isn't far off it, but the Missoni provided the musk to take this layering close to L'Elixir. And to be honest it was actually more enjoyable, stronger and longer lasting.

Appreciate the honesty Ash! To be fair I'm not a fan of the whole Y line as they're basically copying Sauvage down to the bottle design that looks like their respective private blends. With that being said I think I think the Y line peaked with Le Parfum, it truly has character and the blacked out bottle design feels like it would've been perfect for an Elixir release.

Mind you, I have Uomo Intense, Yellow Dream and Born in Roma Intense. The originals of things just tend to me the most wearable in the most situations I have a 5 ounce of the original Oomomo, and I have a 200 mil of the YSL L’homme. We’ll never get old.
