Our verdict on Elixir des Merveilles: Acquired

About

Elixir des Merveilles opens with a blast of zesty, almost burnt orange, quickly deepened by a complex heart of warm amber and resinous woods. Caramel and tonka bean add a subtle sweetness, while a hint of incense and patchouli lends an earthy, sophisticated edge. It's a journey from bright citrus to a cosy, balsamic drydown, with oak and cedar providing a grounding presence.
