El Capitán Elixir

Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, though mostly for the LME comparisons, this scent is a surprisingly luxurious oud-vanilla bomb for the price. Forget the "blue cheese" brigade, Wild Oud delivers a hefty, sweet, and surprisingly sophisticated punch that's well worth a sniff.
This one's a slow burner, not an instant hit, but give El Capitán Elixir a second chance and you'll find a complex, amber-led scent that's far more interesting than first sniff suggests. A solid, unique offering from Gulf Orchid.
