What does Golden Elixir Reserve smell like?

It opens with cinnamon, cognac and cardamom, a spicy, lightly boozy warmth. In the heart, praliné, tonka bean and date turn creamy and sweet. The base of vanilla, musk and oud settles that sweetness onto a woody, resinous floor.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the votes are few, so treat those ratings with some caution. Its value-for-money rating is high. The rich, spicy build suits cooler weather best. Alyssa Ashley Tonka Musk (Eau de Parfum) and Riiffs Golden Elixir have a close profile.
