Eau

This is an intriguing scent and my first from Who Is Elijah. The most surprising element of this fragrance is how pronounced and warm the tonka in the heart is. It wears more like a warm floral wood where you've hiked further into the earthy heart of the island rather than stayed on the coast. It's got a natural heat to it comparable to being close to the branches of a forest rather than needing to cool off in beachside waters. One has to argue this is definitely a Mediterranean island rather than a tropical one. The fig in this fragrance is intriguing and very different to some of heavy hitters we know -- Philosykos, The Noir 29, Debaser. In many ways, it's like Philosykos, The Matcha 26, Eleventh Hour, and Geranium Odorata had a baby. Equally, the pear and iris in the fragrance create another element that gives Eau an edge of its own.

Such a green fresh scent with a gorgeous drydown. There’s something about this one rather than Philosykos that I prefer on my skin personally - perhaps it’s rounded out by the coconut? Please add the other fragrances to the database!!

This one really grew on me. Also works surprisingly well in cooler weather. Bonus tip, layer with Theodoros Kalotinis Alluring Fig and you're in for a treat!

Eau by Who is Elijah: A Verdant Embrace In the realm of fragrances, “Eau by Who is Elijah” stands out as a natural green scent that transports you to a serene, sylvan setting. It’s like stumbling upon a fig tree’s generous shade on a warm day, offering an instant refreshment and a sense of calm. The fragrance captures the essence of spring with its vivid portrayal of leaves, stems, and the sweet fruit itself, paired with the creamy subtlety of coconut milk—a clever nod to the milky sap of fig trees. The experience deepens with the inclusion of woody accords that evoke the tree’s sturdy bark, and the earthy tones that paint a picture of the fertile ground it stands upon. “Eau” is not just a scent; it’s a journey through nature’s own haven. Admittedly, this profile might be challenging for those unaccustomed to such a green and earthy palette. Yet, it’s this very uniqueness that makes it worthy of exploration. For aficionados of Diptyque’s Philosykos, this green gem from the Australian brand will resonate well, offering a familiar yet distinct olfactory adventure.

I'm wearing this now after reading that it's similar to Debaser. It definitely is and Debaser is an all-time favorite for me! This has less coconut sweetness and more potency in its green notes. That being said, it's absolutely delightful. Ordering this from the Australian site was fully worth it. Longevity isn't anything crazy but it did have a nice atomizer for such a small sample. Having a full size bottle would be wonderful but I might need to save up. Can't wait to try other WIE fragrances now!
