The review

On paper, Zodiac Stratos is a strong bet if you want Y Elixir for less.

Paris Corner sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Y Elixir's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $18 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Y Elixir — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Value9.8
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Paris Corner publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on bergamot and ginger, turns to lavender, sage and cinnamon, and settles into Tonka Bean, vanilla and amberwood. That is the brief Zodiac Stratos is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • ginger

Heart

  • lavender
  • sage
  • cinnamon

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • vanilla
  • amberwood
The richest Y yet, lavender and cinnamon melting into tonka and amber for cold nights.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
