Personally wasn't a fan of any of the Sauvage line after testing the EDT and EDP on both skin and paper.. Found it to be too generic and unimpressive - till you recommended the elixer line. OMFG! What a welcome iteration of the line?! It's $355 (per100ml) here in Australia, but I'm grabbing it regardless. Such a gorgeous and addictive scent!

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!
