2-6 Elixir

Coastal Carolina Parfums 2-6 Elixir is the house’s very first fragrance (from 2021), a boozy, spicy blend that manages to be sharp and provocative while nonetheless smoothly blending an almost-gasoline-like bite of the whiskey scent with some cozy spices, vanilla, and honey. It’s deep and rich, but also a bit fun, expanding the idea of the spicy boozy tobacco scent in a way that, again, smells a little bit like gasoline in its most intense edges, but in a way that pairs effectively with the rest of the accords. Character-wise, the closest comparison that I have in mind is the beloved Sweet Tobacco Spirits from 18.21 Man Made, which combines cognac and wine with tobacco and whiskey to foster a sharp-but-sweet and complexly rich blend. 2-6 Elixir is priced at $125/32.50 for 50/17ml, the same as the rest of the catalogue, and performs very well. Overall, I love this first creation that promptly put Coastal Carolina Parfums and Cameron Byrd on the map as a new fragrance company. It’s always delightful to see innovation even in a fragrance genre (sweet/boozy tobacco) that sometimes feels oversaturated. 8 out of 10

This is straight Flames. Perfect for a nice cool or winter night out. The best is you know you're wearing a one of a kind fragrance that the other person has never heard of. Then passing the info onto them to purchase. Way to go Cam! This isn't a bias review as Cam and I aren't friends, but have had some youtube back and forth. For me this is easily the best creator Fragrance out there. I also like ash blue ridge. Two completely different scents
