Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Y Elixir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Y Elixir.

The Dupe Spot 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.

Strength: perfume oil, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $26 it costs 83% less than Y Elixir.

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

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dupe Spot 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

What it is chasing: bergamot and ginger up top, lavender, sage and cinnamon in the middle, Tonka Bean, vanilla and amberwood underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Y Elixir.

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.
