Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mystic Elixir Eau de Parfum

Mystic Elixir is a surprisingly smooth, sophisticated tobacco-vanilla number that punches well above its weight. It's a confident, slightly mysterious scent, perfect for evening wear.

Favourite

Our Verdict - El Capitán Elixir

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.
