I thought that I had an alternative solution. Then I noticed that it is slightly misspelled. But I still feel it is close enough that it can be posted.

Prefix

"lu" is what comes after "a" in aluminum

Infix

xor is another logical operator

Suffix

"y" as "why"

When said aloud, the combination sounds like

luxury

which is pleasing to those who have it.
