What wearers say
“Zimaya Adabi Opulent is the only Y Elixir clone worth buying: it opening smells just like Elixir smells part way into the drydown, but in the full dry down they are about 95% similar. It also has no Lattafa weirdness. ZAO is like 95% Y Elixir and 5% Y EDP Intense.”
“This one isn't anything crazy, but I bought it for office wear and it's perfect for this purpose. I can see how someone could not love this scent- but it's hard to see someone hating this scent. It has a very clean smell with a hint of guava. It's not too blue for winter, but would definitely work in the summer. Don't expect a unique beast and this is a fine daily driver scent for $25 or less.”
“At this point I don’t care if it’s a dupe or inspired by. In the end does the fragrance smell good. In my opinion yes it does. It works well with my skin, has great performance all around, and gets compliments. Owning a few hundred fragrances you will find something that has elements of another. In the end none of it matters if the scent smells good and works with your bodies chemistry.”
