1 million elixir is the vanilla perfume I have been looking for since I started learning about fragrance and I'm glad I finally found it. It's kind of the vanilla I often smell in flavoring and I love Vanilla flavor in drink and food but when I started collecting some vanilla base perfumes, they smelled different from my expectation that even it made me once hated vanilla dominant perfume (eros, Mercedes club black)

One thing I will disagree with - YSL Y Elixir. I tried this & it lasted much longer than the others in the line. In fact my cousin has this. He wears it all the time, not a lot of sprays, and it is easily detectable & smells amazing. The sillage is outstanding. In my experience, this performs much better than the other Ys - lasting at least 8-10 hours. He told me he's been getting compliments too! It's not Sauvage Elixir in that it doesn't deviate too much from the rest of the line - but Y Elixir is dare I say, UNDERRATED. Great video & list though!
