This one's a proper beast, a polarising leather bomb that's either a stroke of genius or a 'synthetic mess'. If you're a fan of strong, assertive leather, this 'Elixir' could be your new signature. Just don't expect it to play nice.

Bold Midnight Elixir reaches for Carolina Herrera's Bad Boy Elixir, that clean leather-and-cedar masculine. Perfume Parlour nails the sage-to-leather-to-wood spine but keeps it simpler and drier, missing some of the original's sweet tonka-caramel richness and a portion of its strong longevity.
