Elixir
Eau de Toilette
by Penhaligons



The Scoop
With Elixir, Penhaligon’s look back to its illustrious past and namely to its first fragrance, a daring and exotic Hammam Bouquet. The echo of the striking and provocative classic can be heard in Elixir. Opulent, complex and mysterious, the new Penhaligon’s creation, created by renowned nose Olivia Giacobetti, is one of the most gorgeous oriental perfumes we have encountered in a long time. The fragrance opens with a veritable firework of spices: cardamom, cinnamon and mace excite the senses while eucalyptus cools them down. In the heart of the scent, the body and soul of a wearer are pampered by the darkly luxurious Turkish rose and jasmine, sweetened by orange blossom. Heat intensifies and the smoke rises as the notes of incense and woods become apparent, enriched by resins and spices. A touch of vanilla and tonka bean softens and rounds the composition, finishing it on an ornate and sensual note. Elixir blends tradition and modernity, East and West, masculine and feminine into a wonderfully unique harmony.

When I initially tried my sample, I scrubbed it off immediately. The top note, on me, is a very strong cedar. Smells like I rubbed a hamster on my wrist. A clean hamster, but still. I tried it again recently and am glad I gave it another chance. After a quick dry down it is soft and spicy and really lovely, though the staying power could be better.

yum yum... this scent truly changes throughout the day. starts off like ginger beer and gets very musty and incensey as it develops. personally i think its too sweet for a man, my husband wore it for a while (nicked my bottle!) and i didnt like it much on him. get lots of compliments, and my clothes smell gorgeous for days after ive been wearing it.

Its the scent I wish my husband would wear,but It reminds me too much of a upscale version of OL SPICE:( IMO It would be cool on a lady ,as well as a gentleman.

I'd been searching for the perfect amber/insence fragrance forever and this is it. To me, it smells like Isaac Newton's library on a winter night. :-) I had considered buying Paestum Rose or L'eau d'ambre (artisan) - but Elixir has all the notes I love about those two, and none of the unwanted ones. Elixir's weetness factor is just right, not cloying. I don't really see this as a "very masculine" fragrance at all - my guy thinks it smells incredible on me, but couldn't imagine wearing it himself. I agree that it smells like Passage d'Enfer (I'm a big fan) but it's a sweeter, sexier, headier version. I adore it. Highly recommended.

Very nice. Heavy cedar overtones. Smells like long evenings in front of the fire. It strikes me as more of a male fragrance so I will hold off on buying a full bottle.

This is a great fragrance. I love a rose/pepper/spice combo. This really works for a man. At least a man who's not uncomfortable with a fragrance with some rose in it. Wear with confidence.

Okay, after having received my bottle and wearing it all day with full spritzes, I'd like to update my comment - this is a lot spicier than Passage d'Enfer. It reminds me of a cross between Passage d'Enfer, PG Coze and 10 Corso Como. Brilliant!

This reminds me a lot of Passage d'Enfer... delicate incense, lightly floral, totally delicious.

This is really good - fans of Olivia Giacobetti's work will recognize her stupendous ability to craft a light-as-feather scent out of many complex materials. I find Elixir to be warm, with just the right touch of spiciness, sensuality, and freshness. Nice!
