So I finally got my nose on this and I had to blind buy to do so. This was reasonably confident due to my prior knowledge and high expectation of Scent Story fragrances. Oh boy I wasn't disappointed! Elixir delivered the same same wow factor I experienced with the original 24 Gold and even the Oud edition. (The OA admittedly to a lesser extent.) So this is brilliant then? Well...not really, and for one simple reason the honey note is very strong and very accurate. For honey fans then this is comes highly recommended but that isn't what 24 Elixir is all about by a long way. The opening is a complex blend of sweet spices cinnamon and even a hint of fruit but it's mainly a dense oriental comprised of deep, resinous, amber woods and a touch of vanilla. This part of the fragrance is hats off amazing but the honey note is there to provide an icky, borderline unpleasantness to something which is otherwise sweet and rich. Don't get it twisted, I think it actually works very well and needs that extra dimension because if it was all fun and games, 24 Elixir wouldn't be half as memorable and probably too safe. There's obvious comparisons in my mind to the recent release from CdG Floriental, then there'e a pinch of Parfum de Marly Oajan and a considerable amount more of Back to Black from By Killian. So the resulting offspring of a three-way between these is not far off what you get. The performance is good as you'd expect but goes on very strong and projecting madly then fades considerably. This coincides with the fading of the strong honey note and what you're left with underneath in the drydown, is all the good stuff associated with honey and non of the bad. Not to mention the resins and woody goodness in the base of this scent, I found the drydown very enjoyable. I can't give this too much praise for simple taste reasons and my aversion to honey in this quantity. However, this is a largely successful exercise for Scent story showing that they continue to innovate and hit, huge, stunning orientals out of the park every time.
