Does it smell good? Absolutely. Does it smell better than the OG Elixir? In my honest opinion, 100%. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that everyone’s nose perceives notes differently, so take this as my personal take. Opening: Right out of the gate, I get a blast of juicy, fruity plum mixed with fresh lavender. It’s bold, vibrant, and immediately captivating. Mid: As it settles, the plum becomes even richer, mouthwateringly sweet in a way that makes me want to keep sniffing my hand. It’s smooth, refined, and incredibly addictive. Dry Down: The sweetness mellows out into something more balanced and versatile. Unlike the OG Elixir, this leans fresher and cleaner, making it wearable in almost any setting, from the office to a night out. The fruity accord lingers softly, giving the scent a polished, refined edge. Comparison to OG Elixir: To me, this is like a distant cousin to the OG, but with a key difference, the honey and vanilla are gone, making this a fresher, more mature, and more versatile composition. It doesn’t feel redundant at all. If anyone says it smells identical to Elixir, they’re lying. This is a superior, more wearable take on the DNA. Final Thoughts: I can see this one pulling in unsolicited compliments. It’s smooth, sophisticated, and incredibly easy to wear. Overall: 8.5/10
