27 87 Elixir de Bombe is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Mark Buxton. Elixir de Bombe opens with Pimiento, 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 sweet-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.

About

Elixir de Bombe detonates with a fiery pimiento and zingy ginger, brightened by juicy tangerine. This initial spark gives way to a heart of sweet raspberry and creamy ylang-ylang, underscored by a whisper of rose. The base settles into a warm, indulgent blend of rich caramel and amber, with a subtle leather edge adding a touch of sophisticated grit.
