YSL Y Elixir is the latest fragrance from the iconic Yves Saint Laurent. Released in 2024, the cologne is a modern interpretation of the classic YSL scent. It is bold, seductive, and sophisticated, making it the perfect choice for the modern man. The first thing you notice about YSL Y Elixir is its sleek and luxurious packaging. The bottle is designed in a deep, dark blue color with black accents, exuding a sense of masculinity and elegance. The cap is adorned with a YSL logo, adding to the overall opulence of the design.

Released in 2024, the cologne is a modern interpretation of the classic YSL scent. It is bold, seductive, and sophisticated, making it the perfect choice for the modern man. The first thing you notice about YSL Y Elixir is its sleek and luxurious packaging. The bottle is designed in a deep, dark blue color with black accents, exuding a sense of masculinity and elegance. The cap is adorned with a YSL logo, adding to the overall opulence of the design. When you first spray YSL Y Elixir, you are greeted with a burst of freshness. First thoughts, Y Elixir is very similar to Y EDT- the original Y (my husband’s usual cologne). The first few seconds after spraying this, you get quite a synthethic Lavendar aromatic sweetness mixed with the airy Geranium scent before the base oud note appears. After about an hour to two hours, the projection starts to simmer into a skin scent and making this fragrance smelling more like the YSL Y Intense. It’s intoxicating in a great way. One of the main highlights of this cologne is its unique blend of ingredients. Each note is carefully selected to create a well-balanced and harmonious fragrance. YSL Y Elixir is a complex scent that evolves over time, revealing new layers and nuances as it settles on the skin. The longevity of YSL Y Elixir is impressive, lasting for up to 8 hours on the skin. This is thanks to the high-quality ingredients used in its formulation. The sillage, or the trail that the fragrance leaves behind, is also moderate, making it suitable for any occasion. While YSL Y Elixir is a masculine scent, it is not overpowering. It strikes the perfect balance between being bold and subtle, making it a versatile choice for any man. Whether you're going on a date or heading to the office, this cologne will add a touch of sophistication to your ensemble. YSL Y Elixir is not just a fragrance, but an experience. It evokes a sense of confidence, charm, and seduction. It is the perfect addition to any man's grooming routine, elevating his style and leaving a lasting impression. My husband is not a huge cologne wearer, usually he’ll wear cologne solely for special occasions… until this cologne. He has been wearing it almost daily since. In conclusion, YSL Y Elixir is a must-have cologne for any man who wants to make a statement. It is a modern take on the classic YSL scent, exuding luxury, charm, and sensuality. With its unique blend of fresh and warm notes, this fragrance is sure to become a staple in any man's collection. If you’re looking to stand out from the crowd, this is the cologne you need! I highly recommend this cologne and so does my husband. I was given the opportunity to test this product in exchange of my honest review.

My experience with YSL Y Elixir has been that it is a very fresh, slightly spicy, aromatic and slightly woody fragrance. Right off the top you get a blast of zingy freshness that is almost effervescent. Once this settles a bit, you get hints of fresh lavender and that fresh geranium accord. After this dries down even more, 30 minutes to an hour, the woody undertones come in and mix more with the freshness and the fragrance becomes more complex. From my experience it has above average longevity and projection. Id say at least 8-10 hours, depending on how you spray. For example, I sprayed it on at night and could still smell it the next morning! Also, you can absolutely pick up on hints of the other Y’s in this line. However, with Y Elixir, this differentiates itself ... MoreMy experience with YSL Y Elixir has been that it is a very fresh, slightly spicy, aromatic and slightly woody fragrance.

However, with Y Elixir, this differentiates itself enough to venture away from the rest of the Y’s to be unique, but also still fitting within the Y line of fragrances. Overall I really like this fragrance a lot! It is very fresh, very versatile, and an absolute compliment getter. I can see myself wearing this in all seasons for just about any occasion. If you are looking for something that is extremely unique and different, this may not be it. But if you are looking for an absolutely great smelling, fresh, aromatic, every day scent that will get you compliments, I would highly recommend it!

I knew there were quite a bit of the Y flankersn and sampled them, but I didn't even know about this new elixir that came out. I had the original Y EDT, and that smelled really good very fresh and mass appealing. I've had the EDT for many years now but I don't wear it as much as I used to because it doesn't fit with the person that I am now. I smelled the other flankers and could tell they were in the same family but nothing to make me want to get it. I tried this out and I could tell it was in the family but this elixir is more of the mature adult version.lsay in older brother to the others. It's something a man in his late 30s or 40s would wear. It doesn't smell like an old man. It is still modern, still smells very fresh, but not as bright as the others.

I tried this out and I could tell it was in the family but this elixir is more of the mature adult version.lsay in older brother to the others. It's something a man in his late 30s or 40s would wear. It doesn't smell like an old man. It is still modern, still smells very fresh, but not as bright as the others. It seems thicker and richer, but also spicy. It also has that clean smell like fresh out the shower with a luxury soap or body wash. It still has that linger in the air effect and it smells really good and gets better in the dry down. Now, I keep my skin moisturized, so how long I want it to last depends on the sprays, and not going crazy with it to make it last all day. I can do about four sprays and it's still strong on me about 5 hours later and after that I can still get whiffs of it as I move around. Projection is pretty on good when you first spray it, but it is more of an airy scent that floats and lingers. As far as when to wear it, it can be pretty versatile along the lines of a blue de chanel or a sauvage. It smells nothing like them, but it can fit many occasions. You can wear it casually during the day, for lunch/brunch, in the evening, or even a date. It is astonishing during the day in the air, but at night during close encounters it is alluring. As far as the price; it's a designer scent and its new so it fits this scent. Now to end it I will say this, I am not one to get flankers of a scent, if I have one in the family I am content, but this last one they made, definitely would get it. The EDT is for sure on the back burner now, because I will be choosing the elixir.

This smells amazing! He loves the oud wood… which makes the fragrance smell even more fresh! Without the oud wood this particular one wouldn’t stand out as much from the rest of the YSL men’s collection. Elixir fragrances perform very well. Y Elixir follows this trend with a long-lasting dry down that was present for at least 10 hours on skin with each wearing. The fragrance boasts potent projection for around 4 hours before radiating a few inches off the skin for the rest of the wear. The sillage trail is strong and present for around 8 hours. Y Elixir is unique for a blue fragrance in that it can be worn formally due to its smoky and resinous dry down. However, it can also be worn casually. It tends very masculine and is suitable for men of any age group. Y Elixir ... MoreThis smells amazing! He loves the oud wood… which makes the fragrance smell even more fresh!

It has a richness, but it doesn’t feel suffocating, however, the smokiness might be a bit much to smell on a sweltering day. The fragrance is suitable for a suit or a hoodie and works for almost everything, and it might make a particularly interesting choice for a date night.

A date night statement piece sure to bring a knockout with its wood undertones and a mix of luxurious lavender and sexy geraniums.

Excellent everyday wear parfum, to add a fresh, clean, modern, rich yet subtlly luxurious smell styke tone to your day.

I received this product to sample in exchange for my review from the fabulous teams at Influenster, YSL. Thank you so much.I was exceptionally excited to receive this product as it is my first experience with aYSL parfum. Upon opening it, you automatically know it’s going to be top quality because the packaging and the bottle are gorgeous. It comes in a very thick glass bottle that has a beautiful blue matte finish, complemented perfectly cut out Y in a shine finish. Then topped off with the signature logo matte metallic top. Will give any fragrance shelf a lovely addition. The spray itself was a slight bit more intense than I had expected. I thought it would be more of a light mist, but it was a more intense spray. Totally fine, you would maybe just want to ... MoreI received this product to sample in exchange for my review from the fabulous teams at Influenster, YSL.

Will give any fragrance shelf a lovely addition. The spray itself was a slight bit more intense than I had expected. I thought it would be more of a light mist, but it was a more intense spray. Totally fine, you would maybe just want to know that you might only need one spray and that will just make the product last longer as a whole.It’s main components are ceder and lavender based. Initial spray to me, smells fresh and clean and then is meshed nicely with the ceder to add a richness and warm sort of woodsy scent. It’s a fabulous mix and light and fresh blended with more deep and warm tones.It really smelled nicely in myself as a lady a nd my guy also. He’s not a big fan of any sort of parfums or colognes on himself it I as he tends to be more sensitive to scents than I am, but he did still seem to be unbothered by this product.Upon first putting it on, it was a bit heavy or strong smelling so Iwas initially afraid it may be bothersome to anyone around that may be sensitive to scents. But was quickly able to tell that wasn’t the case as I went to the store right after applying. it and was a bit sad nobody asked me what I was wearing. Totally fine. It didn’t have a lot of staying power, you would most likely have to touch up mid day or in a high heat kind of day.All in all I would give this a 9 out of 10. definitely would recommend this product and i’m very grateful to have been givin this opportunity.

Not just another flanker - truly it’s own fragrance

This surprised me as it turned out to be a woody&spicy offshoot on Y. The fragrance looks basic based on the notes but ends up more complex. You get the lavender at the top similar to Sauvage’s Elixir but has a rosemary edge to it. You will also find some citrus there but it’s fleeting to me. The base carries on what you smell initially and doesn’t seems to change much but oddly wouldn’t call it linear. There is something else going on here for sure, I just can’t pinpoint it.The forward progress of the fragrance goes spicy slightly floral while the rosemary and sage from earlier plus the citrus twangs still are present in lesser amounts. The woods are up front for sure but deepen as the time goes on, wood heavy here. The oud here I would say is pushing the wood so ... MoreThis surprised me as it turned out to be a woody&spicy offshoot on Y. The fragrance looks basic based on the notes but ends up more complex.

This isn’t your stinky out that some think of, it’s 100% a woody oud. There is still earthy-ness here and maybe some patchouli ? I wonder if YSL kept some vetiver from the original in this Elixir… Frankincense supports the roll of the woods and does it well. I do also get a leather accord here and that could be from the oud as well. I would say this is a hit for the line up and isn’t just another bottle in the series and proves to be something that is my kind of fragrance. Performance is very good with moderate to strong sillage and moderate to long lasting longevity as of now. The bottle is fresh so time will tell if it changes either way.

Smells like bubbly mandarin orange soda on me

I usually prefer feminine scents but YSL's Le Homme is one of my favorite masculine scents and is probably in my top 10 favorite fragrances so I was excited to try another masculine perfume from this brand. And Y Elixir is another winner in my book! This is supposed to be a warm, woody and spicy fragrance but this smells cool, fresh and citrusy with a hint of nuttiness to me. I guess my mind is misinterpreting all the notes: the spiciness = bubbly champagne carbonation, lavender & geranium = citrus, wood = nut. It smells like a super bubbly mandarin orange soda or champagne on me which I absolutely love. I had my man try it and his skin brought out more of the oud notes so Y Elixir smells like a brand new book fresh out of the shower on him but I prefer it more on ... MoreI usually prefer feminine scents but YSL's Le Homme is one of my favorite masculine scents and is probably in my top 10 favorite fragrances so I was excited to try another masculine perfume from this brand.

It lasts about 4 hours on me and smells exactly like the initial spray for at least an hour. Performance on clothing is an hour longer. I wish I could get another hour or two out of it to justify the price. I like how you barely have to press the nozzle for it to spray. But it sprays a lot at once so spray further than you usually would and you won't get a big, wet splotch of perfume on your wrist or neck. And finally, I find it annoying that you need to firmly push the cap down until you hear it snap onto the bottle. I keep forgetting and then wonder why the cap is loose and wobbly.

The smell last all day and smell very high end

My husband wanted a new cologne for his birthday. I am very sensitive to smells and a lot of perfumes, colognes and fragrances that give me really bad headaches. Thankfully this YSL Y Elixir cologne smells amazing. I have no issues at all when my husband wears this cologne. The packaging for this product is well designed and very luxurious. The bottle is a dark midnight blue, black and a matte silver. These colors together look very high end. The bottle is a thick glass with a black Y engraved on the side of the bottle. The end of the Y wraps around to the front of the bottle with Yves Saint Laurent written in white on the front of the bottle. The dark blue makes the bottle look like it isn't see though. Once you hold the bottle up to light, you can see through the ... MoreMy husband wanted a new cologne for his birthday.

Once you hold the bottle up to light, you can see through the bottle. I really like that I am able to to see exactly how much fragrance is left in the bottle. This bottle is 60 ml which is 2.0 fl ounces. The cologne smells so amazing and the fragrance last all day long. This is absolutely one of those colognes that will make anyone that smells it on you, attracted to you instantly. Every man should always smell good and this is a cologne that will have women telling you how good you smell all the time. The fragrance absolutely is a fragrance that will turn make you feel sexy. My husband sprays 2-3 sprays before he leaves for work and 12 hours later I can still smell it on him. My husband comes home, still smelling like he just sprayed the cologne on him. I have never been able to smell cologne on him after him being gone all day until this YSL cologne. The top note in this fragrance is Lavender, middle note is Geranium the base notes are Frankincense and Oud. These notes are perfectly mixed together making this cologne smell very sexy and high end. YSL really made the perfect cologne that will make you drool every time you smell it. I highly recommend this cologne, I was given this cologne by YSL and influencer in return for my honest review.
