Stepping up your game. I think you’re the first one to review this. The other reviewers are just saying that it’s coming out soon. This one is probably a pass for me, I have too many blues. I think if designers started selling 30 ml bottles they would move more product, they could charge more per ML and I wouldn’t mind because the prices on 50 and 100 ml’s are way too much and plus there’s no way I’ll use up the whole 50ml or 100.

I agree, i have multiple small bottles (10ml and 30ml, if avaible), because as a collector, it would take years to finish a 50ml, needless to say 100ml.

I find YSL Y Elixir sophisticated and well balanced exactly because it is not overly woody, nor dark. I like it exactly because it is smooth, powdery and refined ! Some KZitem reviewers lost their credibility on this one. Of course, its price is stupendous. But such is ithe fate of every Elixir flanker on the market ! And, no, I am not happy with it. But, its price aside, it is one really well done fragrance ! Oh, yes, this video is detailed, precise and honest review that is not biased ! Unlike those of other reviewers ! Well done !

Everything you say about this makes me think I'd like it. The Y DNA is great for me. I have most of the line. I like the fougere vibe so I don't mind that kind of soapiness. I love the incense note in Dylan Blue and hope there is enough of that note in this one to compare to that.

I am really looking forward to this, because I love elements of the EDP and adore the Le Parfum, so if this combines the best of both, with an interesting twist in the drydown, then I’ll probably just bite the bullet on it during the next 15% off sale. Would you say this needs fewer sprays? Like 3 or 4 max?
@FragranceDOUD

They said next 15% off sale is end of this month just an fyi. U could easily do 4-5 and it would be fine. While the opening is potent after an hour it starts to settle but it lasts forever.

I was hoping this wouldn't be such a soapy frag. I feel like I've worn too many blue frags consecutively and now the soap reaches out and slaps me right in the face, they all seem to have the generic white rectangle of mass produced blahness of soap scents. Am I strange to not enjoy that note? I think I could just stuff some dryer sheets in my shirt each morning and get a like result.
@FragranceDOUD

While yes, it is boring, what I don't like is one that the same accord seems to be so ubiquitous and two, I end up smelling that more than the rest of the frag. Take out the soap and powder and put in salt and mineral I say, even if it's bad at least it will be different.@@FragranceDOUD

So yes it’s supposed to be, but some brands use extrait de Parfum more as a descriptive word to describe the higher level concentrations of the Parfum like 25% and higher usually while 20%-25% usually is where they name it the parfum. Designers usually use the word elixir now as a placeholder for an extrait since it sounds better when they already have a oarfum in the line like this one and ralphs club

And there are two other reviewers in my area scentral hub and fragrance fight night both will attest that the bottle is at our Macys and they allowed me to make a decant.
