Mix:Bar Wood Elixir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Vincent Kuczinski. Mix:Bar's Wood Elixir carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you, this isn't a woody scent at all. It's a surprisingly pleasant, sweet, and clean fruity musk with a divisive performance. Some love its gentle character; others find it vanishes too quickly.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its moderate sillage and soft, clean profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, where it won't overwhelm. The gentle nature is perfect for everyday activities and even gym use, but its lack of projection might not stand up for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Wood Elixir opens with a bright burst of red fruits and lemon, offering a sweet yet not saccharine introduction. This playful tartness soon settles into a soft, musky heart where delicate jasmine and lily of the valley provide a clean, almost ethereal floral touch. The dry down introduces a subtle, creamy vanilla, anchored by a well-behaved patchouli that adds a hint of warmth without being overpowering, creating a cozy and comforting skin scent.
