What does Elixir smell like?

Neroli gives the top a citrusy freshness, while black pepper adds a light spicy edge. In the heart, freesia, peony and apricot form a soft, floral and fruity centre. The base turns sweeter with cane sugar and benzoin, white cedar adds a woody frame, and amber and musk leave a creamy, resinous warmth. The result sits between fresh and oriental.
