27 87 2016 Extrait
Elixir de Bombe
by Mark Buxton
27 87 Elixir de Bombe is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Mark Buxton. Elixir de Bombe opens with Allspice, Ginger, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, and Raspberry, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Caramel. 27 87's Elixir de Bombe carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.
A divisive fruity gourmand that either delights with its unique spice and sweetness or disappoints as a generic, synthetic offering. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little middle ground.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
With its moderate projection and sweet, fruity gourmand profile, this scent leans more towards intimate and casual settings, making it less ideal for formal events or the office. Its warmth lends itself well to cooler weather, but some find it suitable for summer evenings.
