Y Elixir, released by Yves Saint Laurent in 2024 and composed by Dominique Ropion, is a rich aromatic woody fragrance marketed for men. Woods, florals, resin and aromatics are all equally strong in a short structure.
The opening is lavender, which gives a clean, herbal and slightly sweet freshness. The heart is geranium, a rosy, minty and slightly green floral note. The base is frankincense and oud, a smoky, resinous incense paired with a dark, woody depth that gives the scent its intensity.
Most wearers report it as long lasting, with a moderate to strong sillage. Votes are spread across autumn and spring, and it is worn equally by day and night. It suits dinners, evenings out and cool weather, and anyone who likes lavender and geranium over a smoky incense and oud base.
