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.

Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong longevity and sillage, Ebony Wood Elixir isn't the best for a conservative office setting, though it's adaptable enough for casual wear if not over-sprayed. It truly shines on dates and formal evenings, where its rich complexity and impressive performance will be appreciated. Avoid for sport as its warmth and depth are ill-suited for high activity.

About

Ebony Wood Elixir plunges you into a dark, woody embrace from the start, quickly joined by a zesty, almost startling grapefruit. This sharp citrus is softened by a subtle hint of pink pepper before a rich heart of mocha and coffee grounds the composition. The dry down leaves you with a sophisticated blend of earthy vetiver, a clean patchouli, and grounding cedar, making for a scent that's both complex and comforting. It's a heady, deep fragrance that develops beautifully over time.
