Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
D Elixir scores 6.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Y Elixir.
The Dua Brand 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 $33 it costs 78% less than Y Elixir.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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
Yves Saint Laurent Y Elixir is bergamot and ginger at first, lavender, sage and cinnamon at its heart and Tonka Bean, vanilla and amberwood at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

The richest Y yet, lavender and cinnamon melting into tonka and amber for cold nights.
