[@emadjw]

$200+ for 60ml?? for a designer?? nah I'm good, not even going to sample it...

[@ChadSecrets]

Yes, it's outrageous.

[@LA-st6dq]

​@@ChadSecretsIts weird that it has such a higher price tag overseas, in europe specifically germany its like 125€ retail😅

[@MOVIES4COD]

Its 70€ in Germany..

[@emadjw]

@@MOVIES4COD wow, its around 185$ here in the middle east...

[@sansh2338]

@@emadjwim in iraq its 140$ but next year its gonna get low

[@mattato8272]

i picked this up when it hit fragrancebuy for like $120 and i actually love it, it mixes really well with my skin and projects and lasts the same way sauvage elixir does for other people 😭🙏 im so glad because y edp did not last long on my skin whatsoever, so for me i was able to justify the purchase thankfully

[@ChadSecrets]

Well im glad to hear you like it! Thats good

[@krispybowgod9656]

I basically got this for free with my shoppers points. Great frag at that price but at 220 bucks I’d be mad lol

[@ChadSecrets]

Haha yeah. Shoppers has great point system!

[@Snedz496]

Better spending that money on a niche fragrance that you'll enjoy

[@ChadSecrets]

Absolutely

[@ashtoncomer935]

Literally read my mind or buy savage elixir of that is your style but personally I’d get a niche fragrance from creed

[@undo9473]

I don't like it, but i don't hate it either. The price is really absurd tho.

[@ChadSecrets]

Its absurd for sure!

[@powersportswear4031]

It’s a perfect summer scent. It’s the second best to y edp however ingredients in elixir are more of higher quality undoubtedly. Similar dry down to blue talisman. Excellent summer fragrance EVEN nicer and better than EDP

[@ChadSecrets]

I would not say this has high quality ingredients regardless of what they say in their marketing. But to each their own! Its not bad but its my least favorite ysl fragrance so far

[@haventhebeast2671]

That face you made right after smelling it just screams "this is bullshit". 😂

[@ChadSecrets]

🤣🤣 The eyes dont lie

[@haventhebeast2671]

​@@ChadSecretsi would return it

[@rushabhk8]

It’s actually not as bad. I like the soapy out of the shower feel it gives. However, I will wait for prices to go down to make a purchase

[@ChadSecrets]

Yeah im not liking this one, which is unfortunate because i have to give this a lot of wearings before my full review 😅

[@rushabhk8]

@@ChadSecrets def not best in the line. I prefer the le parfum to this one

[@ChadSecrets]

@rushabhk8 That one is hard to beat. I will be getting a full bottle soon because i liked it a lot while sampling

[@ibrahima3723]

I'm wearing this as I write this and I can say, there is no world where this is worth it, even if it was at discounters. Decent performance, I actually like the woodiness, but you can get more complex, stronger performers for a better price.

[@ChadSecrets]

The only thing i think that is good about this so far is that its survived three hand washings and a shower 😅 I agree with you completely

[@ashtoncomer935]

YSL EDP intense for the win fk that price plus one time I washed my shirt in the laundry and still smelled YSL intense on it buy the 100ML of Intense and another 100ML of YSL EDT if you want a fresher but still musky man scent I have both and wearing the EDT today

[@ChadSecrets]

Thats a great suggestion

[@AGentlemansJourney77]

BRING THIS ON SATURDAY!!!

[@ChadSecrets]

Okay will for sure!

[@FeherViktor-zl8bm]

I pickes up in germany 60ml for 80€

[@ChadSecrets]

Thats not too bad actually

[@yanlenqt]

Was hyped on this, but when reviewers reviewed on this. They say it's even worse than the Le Parfum, sadly the intense and fraiche is still the best flanker imo.

[@ChadSecrets]

I was very excited for this too

[@TrueNorth1217]

"Even worse than the Le Parfum" the Le Parfum is many peoples favorite of the entire line lmao

[@Salman-eb2yx]

⁠@@TrueNorth1217It’s mine and I have 3 😭😭

[@hoodiekemo]

Initially I was like "most defined going to get this" until I heard that eyewatering price tag.

[@ChadSecrets]

The pricetag is just ridiculous and not worth it

[@luiscruz8455]

I feel a sweet sour apple note there, idk if it’s just me

[@ChadSecrets]

I do too!

[@bloodmoon2135]

Honestly guys you cannot put the price tag in your review I mean I live in Europe and bought it for 80€ in my local parfume store so yeah tell me NOW if it’s worth it. I wanna know if I can wear it on summer without getting the feeling that I smell bad

[@ChadSecrets]

Its lose lose for me because if i dont put it people get upset. 🤷‍♂️ Either way try to buy off a discounter site that ships there!

[@bloodmoon2135]

@@ChadSecretsthe thing is that the other fragrances got the same price tag. And if you never have tried ysl y line I think it would be than more interesting to know which one more suggestible. However I tried it meanwhile and I also bought real oud to compare and see if there is really any oud in it and I can definitely say yes. I mean how do you not smell any oud in the drydown ?

[@damncidd]

I loved the opening but the dry down was bland and really lacked performance.

[@ChadSecrets]

That's fair. I wish it was better

[@VincentSpallina]

I smelt it and its horrible it has the Y notes, but they try to make it aquatic which ruins it

[@ChadSecrets]

Its really odd this one. I just dont know what they were trying to accomplish

[@JamesOswalt]

Burberry Parfum is the same price but it’s full size and better

[@ChadSecrets]

I am excited to try the parfum!

[@SuperSoma23]

Thx for the video. 😎💪🏼 my man

[@ChadSecrets]

Thanks for watching!!

[@711Slurpies]

Bro it's awesome. I love soapy clean smells. But definitely should NOT BE THAT EXPENSIVE!!!!!

[@ChadSecrets]

The price is just ridiculous

[@Tripttt]

That iSH iSss fresh aF i think i really like it ...

[@ChadSecrets]

It is quite fresh

[@LA-st6dq]

to me and my clique it smells like high concentrated chlorine with neutral soap, you know those chlorine bombs for the hot tub, pools and someone dropped more a few more that's what it "smells" like😅

[@ChadSecrets]

I just had that same experience with it when i asked someone theor opinion. Very weird haha

[@TrueNorth1217]

I love the smell of pools reminds me of a hotel or spa. Thats why i love this fragrance lol

[@richardspurgeon8954]

The Y line ran out of ideas and followed the others ,I'm fond of the intense flanker and the Le parfum flanker.

[@ChadSecrets]

They should have followed the trend by making it at least strong then. This feels like they were half done and said whatever, drop it 😅

[@richardspurgeon8954]

@ChadSecrets yes ,in my opinion it's not an elixer should be regular priced

[@miker4430]

We as consumers, must as much as a cologne fan I am, let’s stop buying or be more selective. This will balance out things more as it’s obvious 2024 cash grab from these companies

[@ChadSecrets]

Yeah, this is an obvious cashgrab. I agree

[@nicolasfarah2092]

Which one is the best for the gym?

[@ChadSecrets]

Any fresh clean fragrance and go light

[@fragrancefan]

Wow I was picturing something spicier and more prominent and louder.

[@ChadSecrets]

As was i. Very let down

[@andreicatalin6817]

Is there 100 ml version?

[@ChadSecrets]

Not too sure. If not there will be soon im sure

[@filipblizniak5996]

Yeah, we’re at the point where people in YSL don’t give a damn about customers with Y line. It’s generic, expensive and definitely not special. And, of course, there had to be an elixir.

[@ChadSecrets]

Yeah, and i guarantee it will sell very well. Thats all they care about in the end 🤷‍♂️

[@danialhashmi6078]

Do you typically blind buy?

[@ChadSecrets]

Only because i have this channel. If i didn't, i never would

[@Cellynoseitall]

What’s elixir about it I was so mad

[@ChadSecrets]

I feel ripped off lol

[@Cellynoseitall]

@@ChadSecrets 😭😭😭 don’t worry they got me to bro

Pass this smells like Irish spring

[@ChadSecrets]

Haha 🤣

[@76footballlover]

It smells good,however Its over priced,

[@ChadSecrets]

Very overpriced

[@76footballlover]

@ChadSecrets Yeah I'll pick this up when it's discounted, I'll stick with Dior Savage Elixir

[@T0ut8ttifig]

👍🏻

[@RadLaxer42]

On behalf of everyone, don’t do that before the gym.

[@ChadSecrets]

It's so weak. I bet nobody even smelt it 💀

[@dragonmark9092]

Y is this so expensive?

Great question!

Yes please!

[@avilengroup7187]

Heard so many bad reviews about this

[@ChadSecrets]

Yeah i think its deserved

[@ivanramirez4519]

Smells like a freshly mopped kitchen floor

[@ChadSecrets]

🤣🤣

[@krispybowgod9656]

Also this is not weak lol you tripping out. 2-3 sprays and I can still smell it 8 hours later

[@ChadSecrets]

Im not talking about longevity. The projection is weak. How would i know longevity on first impressions? You are tripping out 🤣

[@johnpatrick2458]

A weak elixir? 😅

[@ChadSecrets]

Unfortunately yeah haha

[@cornbeef567]

Good videos you release but I have to disagree with you on this one the y elixir for me is the best last long 10plus hours and project of of my skin and is highly complimented by young ladies off of my skin I get citrus soapy woody sweet musky and slightly powdery notes that all get me notice and attention from the ladies the Sauvage Elixir is gear more towards cooler climate and smells mature the best part of the Sauvage Elixir is the first hour where it’s fruity and masculine after that it smells like and old man and kitchen season just like how asad smells. For me this is the best Ysl y along with Prada ocean edt Sauvage edp Mont Blanc explorer bout everybody chemistry is different and we all live different parts of the world different climate I live in a hot climate nothing ever below 70 degrees the new Ysl y elixir is a job well done for us in the warmer climate and cobalt elixir

[@ChadSecrets]

Thats okay you can like what you like! You are allowed to have your own opinion

[@Nikolas_07821]

It’s going around 100-120$ and not 200$ as he mentions…

[@ChadSecrets]

Why would i lie. Im in canada it retails at $228 CAD for 60ml

[@Nikolas_07821]

@@ChadSecrets a didn’t said that you lied.And actually in my place it goes around 160€ so a was mistaken but keep up the good work 👍🏼

Yes i even prefer ysl myslf to this!

[@darkosrebotnik7118]

I have YSL Y EDP and I find it soooo generic and so boring. I mean, it is beautiful smelling, but so boring.

Wait till you try this one then 😅

I think YSL Myself smells better then this one.

[@ChadSecrets]

I agree

[@emilioaguirre1634]

@@ChadSecrets I really liked the citrus and floral opens, I was smelling my wrist alot when I sprayed it.

I agree!

Is the edp intense bad?

[@sTorm_PiT]

This one is ridiculous

[@ChadSecrets]

Very!

[@sTorm_PiT]

@ChadSecrets generally, I'm more often than not "little" bit disappointed with the new frag prices, the new scandal cost 104 eurós for 50ml, that's crazy for me.

[@ChadSecrets]

@@sTorm_PiT thats crazy! And the new Prada Ocean flanker is up there as well. As long as we keep paying, they will keep raising the prices. Greedy

[@sTorm_PiT]

@ChadSecrets very true, I wanted to buy it . But I got hold on myself, if I can get it somehow cheap like the scent elixir for 40e than it's worth it to wait haha

[@Haitham_el10]

Nothing special. It costs like a PDM and it doenst smell like an elixir very generic and not that potent. So disappointed.

[@ChadSecrets]

Im very disappointed

[@brianesbaugh6897]

What a garbage release. Sure it’s decent, but for that price?!?! Huge no

[@ChadSecrets]

The price and the marketing make it very hard to trust them

[@Mr.Croustillant]

YSL is a joke. 200$ for that… they really need to humble themselves because their fragrances are not even close to be worth 200$

[@ChadSecrets]

I agree completely

[@John_O_Connor]

Money grab!

[@ChadSecrets]

Yeah unfortunately

[@jassimbouguila6148]

Very generic yet very confused. Chad Secrets
