Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Y Elixir Parfum
A new level of intensity in the Y line, this elixir fuses lavender, incense, and oud for a rich, mysterious signature that commands attention. Not for the timid, it projects confidence and modern refinement.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Aqua Elixir For Men EDP
A budget reading of Davidoff's Cool Elixir. The cool metallic rose-and-lavender top over a dry woody oud is recognisable, and this dupe captures the original's fresh-meets-warm 'rose oud crossed with a blue scent' trick, though the oud sits lighter and the whole thing reads a touch less refined.

Season and Occasion Fit

Y Elixir

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Warm resinous incense, oud, and amber make Y Elixir ideal for fall and winter, providing depth and richness in cool weather. It can suit spring evenings but is generally too intense for most summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, opulent presence and incense-oud base are best reserved for formal, evening, or romantic settings. Too commanding for sport or most work environments unless used sparingly.

Aqua Elixir For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The cool rose over dry woody oud balances freshness and warmth, suiting spring, autumn and winter more than peak summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its refined rose-oud character is versatile enough for the office yet has the depth for evenings, dates and formal nights.
