Identity and Release History

Immerse yourself in the world of Penhaligon's with the fragrance Elixir, released in 2008.

This is an eau de toilette that perfectly fits into the fragrant heritage of British aristocracy, blending tradition and modernity.

The fragrance is positioned as unisex, inviting both men and women to discover its rich palette. Learn more about the brand on the official website.

Scent Pyramid and Fragrance Evolution

Elixir unfolds gradually, starting with spicy notes of cardamom and cinnamon, complemented by fresh eucalyptus.

At the heart of the composition, you'll find delicate floral notes: jasmine, orange blossom, and rose, creating a romantic aura.

In the base, the fragrance gains depth through warm accords of benzoin, frankincense, and sweetish tonka bean with hints of vanilla, finishing with woody nuances of guaiac wood, rosewood, sandalwood, and white cedar.

This multi-layered composition belongs to the oriental and spicy fragrance families, offering a complex and memorable experience.

Positioning and Wearability

The moderate sillage of Elixir makes it ideal for autumn and winter days, when warmth and coziness are desired.

The fragrance is suitable for daytime events, adding sophistication to both casual and formal outfits.

Its versatility allows it to be worn by young people who appreciate depth and elegance.

If you enjoyed Elixir, consider similar fragrances: Van Cleef & Arpels Murmure, Elizabeth Arden Untold Luxe, and Floraïku Sound of a Ricochet, which also blend oriental and spicy accents.

Creators and Influence

The creator of Elixir is the talented Olivia Giacobetti, known for her ability to combine unexpected notes into harmonious compositions.

Her work on this fragrance highlights Penhaligon's creative approach to perfumery, reinforcing the brand's reputation as a master of complex and emotional narratives.

Elixir has become a significant addition to the brand's collections, demonstrating how traditional British values can intertwine with modern trends, inspiring fans worldwide.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of Elixir begins with an invigorating blend of cardamom, cinnamon, and eucalyptus, creating a spicy-fresh start.

At the heart of the fragrance, delicate floral chords unfold: jasmine, orange blossom, and rose, adding romantic softness.

The rich base includes benzoin and frankincense for resinous depth, tonka bean and vanilla for sweet warmth, as well as woody notes guaiac wood, palisander, sandalwood, and white cedar for a long-lasting finish.

This complex composition smoothly transitions from spicy top notes to the floral heart and concludes with a warm woody-balsamic base, creating a multifaceted and long-lasting fragrance that is perfect for lovers of oriental-spicy fragrance families.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
