Recently got the edp intense and really like it, as controversial as it is in the community, not really the biggest fan of the opening but after 30 minutes super nice
I bought a 5ml decant and need to wear it more, but first impressions is "wow, this literally smells like shower gel!" I'll give it a full wear to work tomorrow
Must admit I was also a Y Elixir hater at first, especially at the price it was selling at. But as the prices came down and I managed to get a bottle around 80$ and I started wearing it regularly my opinion has changed completely, it’s now my favourite designers of this year. I think this one will be one of those sleepers hits like Le Beau Le Parfum and Y Myself.
There's this Reddit post on r/fragrance where they tracked prices for popular colognes and compared their price hikes to inflation. YSL's price hikes were like... triple the rate of inflation. I can't fathom who's buying these disappointing designer releases when the tags just keep getting higher for no measurable return in the juice.
Have they changed the size of the bottles for the YSL Y line? I recently got Y Le Parfum and the bottle is slightly smaller than my bottle of Y EDP Intense from last year
I would love to see a Top 5 in order list of Discounters. Like which one if you had to choose is the prmary and if they don't have it then you go to this place next
I was back and forth on this, saw I had some rewards $ from Ulta…. So I got it for 20$. At that price it was an easy buy haha. Soapy “Y” EDP in my opinion. Grew on me
Same, at the beginning, I was bummed about the dropped apple note and it being replaced with lots of woods. But as I continue to wear it, I love it more and more. Performance and longevity is awesome as well.
Agreed, I sprayed it on after seeing the negative reviews but was honestly pleasantly surprised. It's not that new it's kinda like EDP intense and EDP mixed together but I mean it works
I love it. It’s my first ysl, besides tuxedo and I’m obsessed. I did enjoy le parfum but never really got my nose on the other flankers. I might have but don’t remember. Nothing stuck out for me tbh. But I picked this up for £71, over £50 off. Worth the 70 price tag. I wouldn’t say I’d pick up another bottle. It’s soapy and clean, that’s all I get. But not bad tbh
I’ve smelled the edt, edp and the only one I own is Y live. I really like all of them but Y live is actually my fave. I’ll probably pass on this one for sure.
About the atomizer... All Y fragrances have this new "cheap feeling" atomizers since they switched to refillable bottles. The bottles are also slightly different.
I will not by the Elixir for the price they are asking for, as I really like the Le Parfum & the Intense versions. That being said, it is really impressive how YSL constantly releases total bangers on every line.
I’ve had it since it came out. Burberry Hero Parfum and Prada Ocean Parfum Blow this away. I actually sell Fragrance and we have only sold a few and it’s usually when a GF is buying it for her BF. Oh yeah Eros Parfum 🔥
Based purely on smell, it’s my favorite of the line. It’s my daily driver, now. I do get the price dislike, though. I got mine off eBay for about 120, and I probably would have probably waited to buy a full bottle if the only option was retail.
I dont understand why fragrance longevity is a issue for most. I wore prada lhomme eau, and that stuff beasted all day. 🤢YSL Y edp is suffocating 😷 i wont even wear it. Scared to touch this one...
That's interesting. I was worried at first because the atomizer has such poor output but I still smell it on myself for a very long time with just two sprays. I have every frag in the Y line and the only other one that does that for me is Y EDP.
I like it , just not as an elixir! If this was 3oz fragrance for normal price it would be a hit! Ysl y line should just stop unless there going to do something new. Maybe have a sweeter take with mango or some other note.
I got Y le parfum but I’m not sure if to return it and get this one. I want something that’ll last at least 8 hours but I’m conflicted if I should keep Y le parfum and get Myslf parfum
I am into getting my 1st Y line fragrance but I kind a hesitate. I can pick up 60ml Elixir for 60 eur. I don't know, Elixir or EDP? I love fresh fragrances that aren't too sweet. Does new batches of EDP perform well because that's my only concern of not picking it up.
Y EDP is my favorite fragrance hands down but if you aren't into freshies that are pretty sweet you may want to skip Y EDP. It's fresh and smells incredible but it is definitely a sweet smelling fragrance. If you can handle the price tag, Y Elixir has that same freshness with a very toned down sweetness. Same with Y EDP Intense. All 3 last a long time regardless of batch codes. Don't listen to redditers that obsess over batches. Y EDP hasn't undergone any reformulations that have weakened it.(yet)
The “elixir” label on this one isn’t appropriate and neither is the price tag. That being said this is my favorite in the Y line. It’s almost like Parfum and Elixir should be switched. That would be more in line with expectation.
Real. I would even pay $180 for this in a 3.4oz but $180 for 2oz is just laughable for what this is. I got it on Jomashop for $136 and while that's more than I like to pay for 2oz I am really digging it. I own every frag in the Y line and I'd go as far as to say it's my favorite right behind Y EDP.
The worst part is that this is so versatile it could be worn all seasons 365 days of the year and would be perfect for a signature scent. Should have just been labeled Y EDT Intense or just call it Elixir and price it the same as the EDP. They produced a great smelling fragrance but executed it terribly.
I'm with you on the disappointment and the price. It is a different play on the dna. Most may not like the play. Lol, but it still smells like a Y. Y is my favorite line. I have the whole line as well. I agree, I wanted something more than what we got. I agree it's fine and we wanted more than fine. As far as the oud, I smell it. It's not as aggressive or funky like most oud. I actually enjoy how it is used. Entry level designer oud. Much respect to your opinion for sure! We all have one. Lol, I enjoy your content and look forward to the next video!
@@robertorobles8987 Exactly, that's why it is so strange to me that it what they or the parfumeur went for.. it just smells like as if you have thrown to many chlorine bombs into your hot tub and tried to balance it with soap😂
Nope this fragrance is boring and in my opinion doesn't smell as interesting as the le parfum and the intense, YSL needs to go back to the drawing board with this one and re-release it because this is not it chief
Ash thanks for the review☝️😁🔥. As always, clearly and in fact. I think Ysl released Y L'elixir for such a fetishist, if I may say so. I don't want to offend anyone with this, just my opinion - they created this perfume for a collection for a collector, nothing more. I dearly love Ysl's Y line😎🖤✨, but I'm not a fetishist for accumulating the entire Y collection. 🎳📔💸😴
