24 Elixir Gold

So I finally got my nose on this and I had to blind buy to do so. This was reasonably confident due to my prior knowledge and high expectation of Scent Story fragrances. Oh boy I wasn't disappointed! Elixir delivered the same same wow factor I experienced with the original 24 Gold and even the Oud edition. (The OA admittedly to a lesser extent.) So this is brilliant then? Well...not really, and for one simple reason the honey note is very strong and very accurate. For honey fans then this is comes highly recommended but that isn't what 24 Elixir is all about by a long way. The opening is a complex blend of sweet spices cinnamon and even a hint of fruit but it's mainly a dense oriental comprised of deep, resinous, amber woods and a touch of vanilla. This part of the fragrance is hats off amazing but the honey note is there to provide an icky, borderline unpleasantness to something which is otherwise sweet and rich. Don't get it twisted, I think it actually works very well and needs that extra dimension because if it was all fun and games, 24 Elixir wouldn't be half as memorable and probably too safe. There's obvious comparisons in my mind to the recent release from CdG Floriental, then there'e a pinch of Parfum de Marly Oajan and a considerable amount more of Back to Black from By Killian. So the resulting offspring of a three-way between these is not far off what you get. The performance is good as you'd expect but goes on very strong and projecting madly then fades considerably. This coincides with the fading of the strong honey note and what you're left with underneath in the drydown, is all the good stuff associated with honey and non of the bad. Not to mention the resins and woody goodness in the base of this scent, I found the drydown very enjoyable. I can't give this too much praise for simple taste reasons and my aversion to honey in this quantity. However, this is a largely successful exercise for Scent story showing that they continue to innovate and hit, huge, stunning orientals out of the park every time.

I bought this after trying a sample of the original 24 Gold the Oud version, and this one. I chose this one to buy and I am not sorry. This reminds me of Raghba but with an edge. I get the tobacco, rose and honey. The amber is there too, but I do not detect any coconut and since I am not fond of coconut, the better. This will last around 24 hours or more and is just gets better as it goes along. Strong, long lasting, leathery, tobacco, amber and honey with roses. What's there not to like? Love this one! Yes, its sweet too, but not too much. The opening has a bit of a sharpness to it. I would say a 5/5

Def a tobacco vanilla vibe going on here Great staying power and sillage too 8/10

I love this very very very much but it’s for winter only.

A slight departure from the original 24 Gold and certainly in a different direction from 24 Gold Oud, 24 Gold Elixir is almost purely sweet in the way of 24 Gold but certainly more emphatic in certain aspects. I agree with the honey amber characterization, though I'm assuming the tobacco perception is a misunderstanding. I don't get any tobacco, but the sweetness of this does make it resemble some sweet tobacco fragrance, the likeness being the sweetness. I'm not sure the EDP concentration has much bearing on it, as the original 24 Gold was strong as an EDT, and 24 Gold Oud was equally strong as an EDT concentree. Surely it follows that 24 Gold Elixir is strong as an EDP, though I'm not sure it's much stronger. Overall, the blend of the original 24 Gold is smoother better but 24 Gold Elixir is fun in its own right with a different kind of sweetness, honey and coconut. I'll certainly consider reaching for this as it becomes cheaper (as it has started at $80 for 100ml). 7 out of 10

What a nice high quality fragrance. Its not so famous as other from this house, but this one is fantastic cheapie for fall season😙 Nice presentation, high quality niche level juice and powerfull performance.. I got strong tobacco (not listed there🤪 ) notes with lots of honey🥰 Its like a mix between 18.21 Tobacco and Killian Back To Black. It has some Red Tobacco (probably saffron) neunce too! Hidden gem for sweet tobacco and honey lovers. I think its discontinued so take it in time🙂In my country its for 20 euros - cheapie!!! Scent: 9/10 Projection: 9/10 Longevity: 8/10 Value for money: 9/10 Bottle: 8/10 Versatility: only Fall or Winter, 90% men fragrance 30+ Overall: 8.5

Beautifully done and completely unisex. Not as loud and brash as previous 24 scents but that's fine in my books as it has excellent longevity and tolerable sillage. This is all about honey and guaiac wood with a pinch of coconut. The woods give it a masculine vibe while the honey keeps it unisex. These sweet tobacco type scents have been popping up a lot after Pure Havane by Mugler made it popular but this one does have the coconut note to be different. Give it a try if you like Chergui and Kilian Back 2 Black.

I've only worn this two or three times and not until today gave it a good wearing. Even after riding bicycle this fragrance sticks around, I immediately felt that this scent was way better than the original 24 Gold by Scentstory. Coconut in fragrances usually sticks out like a sore thumb to me but in this scent it works okay and just gives it a sweet vibe and not fruity/coconutty type of note.

This is based on one wearing. I did picked up a lot of tobacco like others have. Could be the combo of the honey and guaiac wood. Do pick up coconut on the background. Not as powerful as the original but still pretty strong.

#98 in my "Tour de Fragrance" of 250 scents in 250 days. I got this in a sample spray to try out. This is uniquely sweet. If that puts you off, you won't care for this at all. I'm okay with the sweetness, though I was expecting the sweetness to die down and it does not. This stuff has real staying power, serious projection, like you wouldn't want to be stuck in an elevator with someone who over-sprayed this. I think it would get nauseating in a tight space, but outdoors at the beach would be perfect. It's vaguely likeable, but nothing sexy here at all. I'd call this "comforting", in the way a plate of pancakes and syrup is comforting, but not "enticing" in any way.

Not a perfume for blind buying, But I like it

This stuff right here has got to be the strongest in my whole collection especially the first initial spray! I understand some people will think this is over wheliming but it really isn't if you just apply it at least half hour to an hour before you go out you should be fine. The scent itself just stands out all you really smell is honey with a booziness most definitely and slight coconut in the background which adds a nice touch. This stuff is killer it smells expensive and it works best in the winter for sure. This stuff is easily 12+ hours longevity with beast projection.7/10

A very very sour, screeching honeyed woody accord, very "chemical"/acid to the nose. The contrast between the pine/cold spices and the honey it's not really harmonious and makes me think about some men labelled perfumes from the 90's (Minotaure,...) or from Zara. This type of strong notes who seem to just come from a factory of home spray seems very used by a lot of arabian style of perfume like Mancera, Montale, Lattafa,...some people love that. Yes it's powerful but it's smell very cheap and it's not a good combination neither.

not a safe perfume for blindbuy.... 2-3 sprays is enough to kill my nose... The honey notes is so bold and potent makes me dizzy. The good thing in this fragrance is the performance, honey beast...

Not a safe blind buy. This is straight up smells honey and woody. It's a beast fragrance but to synthetic. Not for everybody

Oh geez!!! Whew! BOOZY! AND STRONG! Blind buy, and kinda harsh. I have 24 Gold Original EDT on order- so I have not smelled that one yet. This is... not me. (I'm a girl who loves her gourmands) It's really potent, cloying and super woody/boozy/honey in a masculine way. This was an expensive blind buy, so I'll prob sell instead of give it to my husband... lol.... I think I can tell when scents use Iso E now, because it's not something I enjoy. Very chemical woods. I wish I got the honey/coconut/amber/vanilla... but I don't. I get manly woods most of all. This may work for layering, but I have a feeling anything you layer with it- will be lost in the cloying mess of 24 Elixir. I don't know how... but this is VERY VERY BOOZY! Like getting pulled over booze/drinking because you can smell it a mile away. It made me dizzy. Not that similar to TF Tobacco Vanille- that one isn't as loud and cloying-- yet TV super strong-- just better blending and quality. I won't give up yet... I will try 24 Gold EDT and maybe use 1-2 sprays of Elixir next time. I used 3 on my skin, and normally nothing lasts on my bare skin. (In fact, the only scents that last on skin are the ones I hate... haha... Youth Dew, Mitsouko, Diesel Fuel for Life Femme...) This lasted on skin with tremendous projection-- so good news for those who love it! Would be willing to swap my 3-sprays-used 100ml bottle? For another 100ml I like? Otherwise, due to the rarity of the 24 scents, I may sell on ebay.

I find this very different from the original 24G. The opening is quite intoxicating: dry, slightly leathery saffron with hints of rose jam. During the brief transition, I get just a hint of dry woods, immediately followed by something like chocolate liqueur and lots of coconut-this intensely gourmand combo, reminiscent of chocolate biscotti, is a bit overwhelming, but interesting. Further into the base, I find it loses much of its appeal, leaving a trail of Iso E and some faint vanilla. Elixir starts strong, but dies down after a couple of hours; performance is nowhere near that of its predecessors. Nice and different, but sadly a bit disappointing overall.

Got a 2 ml sample of this along with 9 other 24 samples. First blast of this I couldn't believe it. I like strong scents but this is nuclear and also very strange at first. Quickly dries down to a beautiful honeyed pouch tobacco smell similar to when I derived great joy as a child smelling the tobacco pouches of older men who were family friends that smoked pipes. My first ever experience of intoxication of the senses. THEREALJWIL below is of a similar mind re: the tobacco pouch. I look forward to exploring this further.

Is this a copy of One Man Show Gold edition black and gold label bottle ?? I bought it yesterday... Sweet ...honey.... Mild tobacco scent...just a whiff... Attar oud ..Woody... Smokey ... Strong ... Loud and very warm... Kindly musky and a bit sweaty... I get the image of a Forrest filled with honey... Not sure if a modern young guy would like to wear this crazy candy bear or camel smell. Love it !!!!

This smells like a pouch of sweetened (maybe cherry?) Pipe tobacco. Pretty nice honestly but not sure I'll want to wear this on a date unless I'm married and am only judged by my wife. Edit: after giving it time to breathe, it very much reminds me of Kilian Back to Black. The honey has definitely come out to play with the backy. Fitting kilian has a clone since he clones everything. I like it

This is truly awful. It actually made me gag. It's strong, smokey, artificial,medicinal. I can distinguish the coconut and the woods in this mess. I get an oud-y vibe. I always felt that people were being overly dramatic when they said they had to scrub off a scent. But now I get it. I find it revolting. Thank God I only purchased a sample! Do not blind buy this! Definitely try it first.

In the drydown, reminds me in some ways the TF Tobacco Vanille. IMO of course, not a expert ;) But, definitely worth a "try by yourself". Opens with a strong honey accord mixed with (i was led to believe, by the notes up here) coconut. Lasts forever and projects beastly.

First note I noticed was coconut and something boozy. Then it started to smell like hospital disinfectant. Then it became similar to Tobacco Vanille - insofar as TV smells like pot-pourri. Very strong.

"Auto Biography Supreme Gold by Paris Corner" minus the coconut note smells very close to this. The performance is also excellent and at a very reasonable price..

this perfume makes me remember the time when i used to smoke a pipe. There are some pipe tobaccos they smell exactly the same

In my experience, a harsher, less pleasant 24 gold. Not worth buying as the EDT performs well

Mademoisellejaimie If u gag it's not the fragrance, you have to take out the gagball.

Mademoisellejaimie you don't know what your talking about, there is no oud in this

Beautiful honey/vanilla scent with an incredible performance 8/10
