Wood Elixir

I absolutely LOVE this one! Too bad it's discontinued now. The lemon and red berries pop in the opening with a bright herbal green vibe. The patchouli is lingering sweetly in the background. The green medicinal nuisances quickly fade into the background and sweeten up bringing the vanilla forward a bit. I would NOT call this a vanilla heavy scent or gourmand fragrance at all. Then the cashmere woods note comes forward becoming the most prominent. I cant believe that the lemon note didn't get more votes for being prominent as to me this is very citrusy and bright. The dry down on my skin is wonderful but does have a soapy quality that I don't mind. This one absolutely gives clean girl in my opinion. The lasting power isnt the best on this one but it is my absolute favorite gym scent. It screams white cotton tee to me. Its a shame that Mix Bar discontinued this one because its 100% one of my favorite cheapies. Some mentioned that its the less strong little sister to Angel and I can see that in a way. Its in no way a dupe to Angel but it does kinda have some of the angel essence.

This is a really nice fragrance; it has become my favorite scent! It has the perfect blend of muskiness and sweetness. Target claims that the notes are: blackberry, rhubarb, lily of the valley, amber wood, and patchouli I definitely smell that blackberry in the opening, but also lemon. I'm shocked that Target didn't mention the jasmine in there. Once it dries down, all I smell is musk and jasmine; those really project on my skin. I feel like these two notes are the perfect combo! I only get the slightest pinch of patchouli and I don't really smell amber wood. Only downside is that it doesn't last that long on the skin, but it does have great longevity on clothes. Little goes a long way in that case. I wish the bottle was bigger for the price. I just got the bottle not too long ago and it's almost gone, sadly. This is my new skin scent!!! Will continue to purchase because I love this!

I’ve had this little bottle since 2022 or 2023, I think, and I have not used it much because up until recently, its longevity was abysmal... I tried it today and this is so pretty!! Soft, sweet but not too sweet, woodsy but not overly so. It reminds me of Angel by Thierry Mugler but on a much smaller scale, scent wise. Angel is way strong and in your face, this here, is soft and transparent. The patchouli is ethereal (yes, ethereal) and so well behaved, I love it! And yes, the longevity is now 8+ hours compared to when I’d first gotten it. This one and Blackberry Tonic are my favorites from the older collection. They are also discontinued which is a shame...

The notes from the Target website are: Blackberry, Rhubarb, Lily Of The Valley, Amber Wood, Patchouli -- which sounds more accurate to me. This is a stunning fragrance. It's warm and comforting, moderately sweet and different from everything else I have. There is a big patchouli presence and it's gorgeous here. It's a toss-up for me between this and Vanilla Bourbon as my favorite from this line. I will say though, the hair & body mist from Wood Elixir is barely registering on me, even though I sprayed it all over my hair (as opposed to the hair & body mist for Vanilla Bourbon which turned out to be very potent) but the perfume itself is divine.

This is one of my favorite fragrances, and so unique! I am a sucker for anything with woody notes, and while the woods don't dominate as much as the name implies, they are nicely balanced with the other notes present. I love wearing this in the fall especially, but I haven't noticed it being out of place during other seasons. It is not particularly strong, and that is one of the reasons I love it. My mother who is allergic or over sensitive to almost every other fragrance I have ever tried is not bothered by this at all, so I can indulge my love of fragrance even while hanging out with her. I truly love this.
