24 Elixir Azur

#795 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is my 7th Scentstory "24" and they've all been great so far. So is this one. A nice, crisp freshie for Summer wear. Car pool, elevator and office safe. If Mont Blanc made an EDP of "Individuel" it would smell like this and I'd own it, but I gave away the "Individuel" EDT because the performance was terrible. Glad I found something similar with some staying power. It's not super potent, but lasts till lunch. Fruity and powdery, not very musky, light on the wood and amber. A clean, outdoor, fresh from the shower kind of beach wear scent from a line that's getting hard to find, no doubt because the TV show they named it for is off the air. Got this one from Perfumeonline.ca. Have "Go Dark" on order. Reviews on "Ambrosia" say its very feminine so I may skip that one. Still searching for "Ice Gold." I think this is a safe blind buy at the price if you can find it.

I tried this Elixir Azur from a fragrance exhibition and it's quite incredible how they managed to make a fresh fragrance yet very powerful, different and long lasting ! Nice work !

ScentStory 24 Elixir Azur is a 2017 release and one of the “Elixir” flankers of the now-discontinued 24 line, and it seems referential to several “blue” fragrances. It feels like a mix of Versace Dylan Blue, JPG Ultra Male, and even Bleu de Chanel (perhaps the EDP), and in that respect, it feels a bit like a designer formula, somewhat synthetic, but still reasonably dense, and an interesting variation of that formula. The note listings seem to vary by source but what I get from them in common is lavender, fruits, woods, amber, tonka, vanilla, and musk. So it’s a little sharp, sweet, woody, and musky, but does fit a somewhat modern interpretation of the men’s “blue” fragrance. Even though the US-based FragranceX carries most of the ScentStory line, Elixir Azur is not currently available on that site, but IS available on the Canada-based PerfumeOnline for $60CAD for 100ml. It’s a good fragrance but I’m not particularly moved by it—still, the performance and value are both good, and it’s another good entry from the line. 7 out of 10

It's not my favourite from the 24 line but I don't regret getting it. The 7UP-smelling green bottle may be a better fragrance overall. This one starts off with a 90s and even 80s vibe. The opening actually reminds me a little of Antaeus by Chanel, a favorite of mine back in 1983. On dry-down it morphs into something mode subdued, generic and clean smelling. You'll leave a pleasant scent trail which will remind people of dryer sheets. You may even get a compliment or two from people. Not sure if I'd wear this in very high heat though.

Sadly, to me this is pretty underwhelming and disappointing. I got this as a sample with an online purchase of another fragrance. When I looked up the notes I was very excited be because it sounded great. Unfortunately I don’t get many of the notes listed and almost zero projection. I would just recommend trying it first. It might click on your skin, but it’s definitely not on mine.
