Sampled this on my skin this weekend, smelled really nice but I got very weak projection from it. Did not push off my skin at all. Sample first because for an elixir (and $180) I would expect a lot better than this.
Hi Maxxx ❣️ I love blues 💙 ones! I owm YSL Y Parfume ♂️ and I love this fragrance endlessly! Can't wait to try L'Elixir since I tried Intense and I like it as well and Intense ⚡ is apparently closer to L'Elixir 😊 But I have to say my favourite 💙 Blues goes to Chanel Blue EDP or Parfume ♂️ Can't wait to try new release...❣️
From my sampling, this fragrance simple doesn't last long enough for the price. Y esp last twice as long for half the cost. I do really like the smell and feel it really suits me. Idk ill probably get it anyway. 🤷🏿♂️
If it smells similar to Y Le Parfum, (as you mention below) I’m even more interested in this. If it is, and lasts a little longer I’m totally interested. I also love Eau Fraiche. :)
I have the EDP. It’s a very dense fragrance that doesn’t change all that much until about 3 hours in and then it just smells of dense lavender. I do get a lot of compliments when I wear it, but I don’t enjoy the experience.
I find it to be close to the intense in the opening, and as it drys down, it reminds me of the EDP. I get that companies are trying to run a business and profit is important. But I think the price point on this one is getting a little silly.. at least, with savauge it changed the DNA enough to where it was something a little bit more unique, to me this one is just a blend of the intense and the dry down of the EDP but we all get different things that’s the beauty of Fragrances! Great review man, one of the best in the game!
Love Y Eau Fraiche. My most refreshing hot weather scent. Shame it’s discontinued, I guess it makes it more unique in my collection cause in a couple years, almost nobody will wear it.
Im not sure why people dislike this. Im not a fan of ysl at all. This however was a must grab after testing at macys. Perfect for any season and any situation. Definitely not one dimensional either. This lasts on skin for 18 hours. The opening is amazing with the green component. The drydown is even better. Not a sillage monster but Definitely projects well
I'm on my 2nd-3rd day wearing this elixir and I still favor the Le Parfum over this. This elixir does not project after 1-1:30 hours after first spraying. It sits close to the skin. For a title of "Elixir" to me it is not worth it. When I think of "elixir" you should choke the people in the room if you spray it 5 times. This is really just another parfum version as it behaves as such. Projects for 1-2 hours max then sits close and are the richest smelling of their collection. It don't smell bad at all, but very basic and generic as the whole Y line does for me.
I find YSL Y Elixir nicely woody, sligthly soapy, slightly powdery... with no trace of green or herbal notes. Very fine fragrance indeed. Its price is exorbitant, though. As is the one of every Elixir flanker currently available !
Great review Max, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and thoughts about different scents. Wishing you all Happiness prosperity. Have a good one mate.cheers 🙌🏼🤍
H24 ELIXIR :( i love love love the scent DNA and wish they continue with a stronger green scent. plzz Christine Nagel make it happen. Not much people lean to green fragrances anymore.. it's always blue blue blue.. why not green?
Great video Max! I believe you kind of mentioned in this video.. But just to make sure.. If you have to chose between the two Elixir in the market, you would prefer Sauvage Elixir? Thanks!
I don't doubt it smells great, but to be sincere I haven't even tried any of the collection and I have no intention to do it, not my thing, I'm wearing Rien Incense Intense today light years of difference from the mainstream designer offerings, not saying it's better, just different... Good to know about it, thank you Max!!!
I dont know why but with every single Y fragrance smells better on someone else than on myself. From a distance it smells good but if i wear it and smell it close im not a big fan of the Y's. The current YSL prices are insane especially the Y line and Myself. In my opinion L'Homme and La Nuit are still their best offerings.
He said “not great” but nice. No way I am paying $180 for a “nice” Y. Considering the fact that this does not add any significant changes, sounds like most people would be best off sticking to the EDT, EDP, or Intense. Especially with the price difference.
Comparing to Dior elixir is meh. Dior Elixir for the price gives you god performance and longevity so people are usually satisfied with the purchase. This fragrance barely lasts 6hours and dior elixir is still nothing like YSL. YSL is way too fresh and Dior is way darker. Given Gucci Elixir has great performance while still offering something fresh, unique and pleasant. YSL played it way too safe and most elixirs have been bold and risk taking which i enjoyed.
I blind bought a 10 milliliter bottle of ysl y l'elixir for 50 bucks. very glad i didn't spend more money on this very bad perfume. worst of all y perfumes and only lasts an hour on my skin, after that it's barely noticeable. it was the same for my friends who got to test it.

Best review yet for this new Y Flanker 👏🏼👍🏼👌🏼 from the other TH-camrs reviewing this . Great job man
Thanks Eder, I appreciate the feedback!
So many flankers for the Y. Even I gets confused at times now. Amazing video!!
Sampled this on my skin this weekend, smelled really nice but I got very weak projection from it. Did not push off my skin at all. Sample first because for an elixir (and $180) I would expect a lot better than this.
I used to go noseblind to Y frags, happened mostly upon first 3-4 wearings.

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Thanks Michael, have a great day!
You welcome keep up the good work and thank you very much GOD BLESS 🙏
Appreciate the review Max!

If it is, and lasts a little longer I’m totally interested.
I also love Eau Fraiche. :)
I purchased it this morning. It smells like a more pleasant and concentrated version of John Varvatos “Rebel”.
I have the EDP. It’s a very dense fragrance that doesn’t change all that much until about 3 hours in and then it just smells of dense lavender. I do get a lot of compliments when I wear it, but I don’t enjoy the experience.
I hear you - and not enjoying the experience kind of defeats the purpose of wearing it in the first place...
It's been awhile Max since you and another person had a favorite count down........Very Nice Today Max as always!!
I find it to be close to the intense in the opening, and as it drys down, it reminds me of the EDP. I get that companies are trying to run a business and profit is important.

Great review as always Max. Will probably wait until it reaches discounters.

Excellent Video Max!
Ótima análise Max! Já tive o Y EDP e tenho o Y Intense. Este L’Elixir seria mais doce e barulhento na saída, comparado com o Y EDP? Abraço!
H24 ELIXIR :( i love love love the scent DNA and wish they continue with a stronger green scent. plzz Christine Nagel make it happen. Not much people lean to green fragrances anymore.. it's always blue blue blue.. why not green?
Lead the way man. Join me, Green Chypre originals and then onwards from Tom Ford Vert line
Has anyone tried layering it with another oud fragrance that really would give it some needed depth
Great Video Max! Thank you.
Hi, Max.
From my nose, overall it's very similar to the first few minutes of Carlisle's departure, what do you think?
Great job Max
The Elixir train is costing some houses their reputation by hopping on board! Thank you for being real Max we appreciate you.
I like the LE PARFUM & the EDP INTENSE.❤️🔥
Please do a review of the new JPG Le Beau Paradise Garden.
Great review.
Finally fair review
Great video Max! I believe you kind of mentioned in this video.. But just to make sure.. If you have to chose between the two Elixir in the market, you would prefer Sauvage Elixir? Thanks!
I got this today for €85. Seems for that price to much. The dry down is for me woody. At least it is muscular and definitely only for men.
In Croatia 60ml is 120euros !? is it worth price performance !?
How can some perfume with a price of 180$ everyday perfume for 60 ml?
My favorite blue fragrances are
Dior Sauvage Elixir and
Blue De Chanel EDT.
Thanks for sharing!
I don't doubt it smells great, but to be sincere I haven't even tried any of the collection and I have no intention to do it, not my thing, I'm wearing Rien Incense Intense today light years of difference from the mainstream designer offerings, not saying it's better, just different...

Max - EDP Intense or Elixir ???
Similar to armani code parfum?
not at all!
Typo on title max, love the video tho
I looked up the definition of Elixir and I kept seeing "milking it".....
I’m going to be different.. I actually like it lol
Tell us max
Give us the 411 😊
Not sure why anyone would compare Y Elixir to DS Elixir just because both have the silly elixir label. Two totally different fragrance profiles.
$200 for a designer fragrance. Wow!
Here before he edits the title of the video
It smells too similar to Y Le Parfum for me.
TRUE!
But it?
Come on Max… !
Just bustin balls
There’s no fruity apple in this like you say, I’m sorry my friend 😂
YSL on the decline Hugo Boss on the rise 😂😂
I just smelled it! It sucks to me..boring to my nose.
Sadly, this had so much potential - the incense/oud they mention in the notes is not prominent at all, if any... :(
I have to disagree, just minor changes, dud in my opinion too similar the the rest. Not for that price.
En español bro.
All I get is a stingy soapy smell. I don’t smell all the notes these people talk about. Just a nose stinging soapy smell.
He said “not great” but nice. No way I am paying $180 for a “nice” Y. Considering the fact that this does not add any significant changes, sounds like most people would be best off sticking to the EDT, EDP, or Intense. Especially with the price difference.
The designer “Elixir” fad is getting annoying. Apparently “Elixir” includes a higher price tag.

This fragrance barely lasts 6hours and dior elixir is still nothing like YSL. YSL is way too fresh and Dior is way darker.

$180 pre-tax for a 60 ml ozonic blue designer frag.? Hard pass.
I'd have to agree...
Y Line is crap!
Synthetic mess- should cost $10 max
not going to But it!
100% fail release to me. Boring
180$ no thank you
overpriced. they become billionaire by idiots who pay $220 + tax = $257 for 60ml
