Y Elixir

“Let's all be real, Y Elixir smells incredible but the price is insane!If you aren't a brand snob, Zimaya Adabi Opulent is a fantastic Y Elixir clone: the opening smells just like Elixir smells part way into the drydown, but in the full dry down they are about 95% similar. ZAO is like 95% Y Elixir and 5% Y EDP Intense. Not bad for $40 for a 100ml.”

“Has the same plastic "oud" accord as Brioni Intense, not surprising considering that YSL and Brioni are owned by Kering so they should share the formulas and accords in the cosmetics department... at this price get Brioni intense if you wanna smell like melted plastic mixed with drug store cologne for cheaper.”

“One of my new favourites. Way better than the OG YSL Y which to me is plain boring and just smells like cheap shower gel.This is rich, warm and inviting. On the dry down it has a bit of spice and incense, with a deep and rich base of Amber, wood and a masculine musk. It's more of an intimate scent with mild sillage but great longevity, lasts all day for me.”
