The worst Y ever
Blind bought this perfume and regretted it immediately. It gives me a headache and literally smells disgusting, I wouldn't even use it as a toilet spray.

Not as Expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The notes were not what I expected. I was expecting a more a vanilla note, but I didn't really smell it. It was more a musk note. I thought it would be a sweeter note like the parfum. However, it was still a decent group of notes.

https://www.yslbeautyus.com/ response
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about our Y ELIXIR. At YSL Beauty, we are pleased to hear that you recognized the signature "Y DNA" in this new creation, as we designed the Elixir to be the most highly concentrated and opulent chapter of the Y saga. We appreciate your specific feedback regarding the Oud note. Our Master Perfumer crafted this composition to balance the crispness of our iconic Diva Lavender with the deep, mysterious warmth of ethically sourced Oud wood. We understand that fragrance is a deeply personal experience, and your desire for a more prominent woodiness is invaluable as we continue to push the boundaries of luxury perfumery. We also take your feedback regarding the price point seriously; we strive to ensure that the exceptional concentration and rare ingredients in our Elixir collection reflect the premium experience our community expects.

Deep, Intense, and Sophisticated
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Y Elixir is a powerhouse. It takes the DNA of the original line and makes it much richer and more mature. I love the addition of the oud and the smooth lavender—it feels very premium and lasts all day on my skin. It’s the perfect choice for a night out or when I want to make a strong impression. Definitely a top-tier flanker!
