What does Elixir smell like?

It opens with rose and copaiba balsam. Cade juniper, cypriol and labdanum form the heart, giving it a smoky, resinous air. In the base, gurjum balsam, Laotian oud and amber take over, while creamy and animal tones soften the warm, sweet foundation.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. Its balance suits both men and women. Kemi Elixir and Xerjoff Malesia have a close profile.
