Yves Saint Laurent Y L’Elixir ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 6 February 2024 2 Comments

Yves Saint Laurent has launched Y L'Elixir, a new fragrance for men. Y Elixir is a flanker to 2017's Y.

THE ELIXIR OF Y, THE ELIXIR OF SUCCESS.

The quintessential fragrance for the self-accomplished man. A new opus with the highest concentration of Y, a timeless intensity. The Yconic dark and white fougere blends with exceptional ingredients of perfumery in this new juice crafted by master perfumer Dominique Ropion.

HIGHLY ENIGMATIC. INTENSELY RICH.

A deep woody-spicy take on Y. An unprecedented quality of raw materials. The most singular white accord : A quality of Diva lavender heart exclusively crafted for YSL Beauty from Provence; a geranium accord captured in the Ourika Community Gardens in Morocco precisely at 9:40 AM for its unique freshness. The most sumptuous dark accord : A warmly resinous mysterious incense and a precious oud of natural origin with a leathery sensual facet.

Yves Saint Laurent Y Elixir is available in 60 ml Eau de Parfum (and will probably be in other sizes as well).

    1.Y L’Elixir… it was just a matter of time
    2. “a geranium accord captured [cut] precisely at 9:40 AM”… are you serious? LOL
    3. I’m struggling to see any connection with the Y range, but I will be testing it out of curiosity for point 2.

      It’s the year of the Elixir. And yes, the 9:40 is just precious.
