Very sad this has been discontinued yet grateful I have a 50ml of it!!! Wonderfully blended and deep sweet resinous goodness. It makes you smile at first sniff. As usual for ATH, bottle, cap, atomizer are all simply fantastic. What say you frag fam? Tried it at all?

Been waiting a while to get my hands on this one. After all the hype And comparisons I finally picked up a bottle as a gift from my lil sis for my birthday. Said to be a cross between the OG Asad which was similar to Sauvage Elixir and boss Absolu. So When I first got my nose on it I was sadly disappinted. As it turns out the Boss comparision is not my much loved Absolu, but the now discontinued Boss Absolutley, which I never had the chance to try. Asad Elixir is an Oriental Spicy/Woody fragrance, it's a bold warm scent that starts with a lively, spicy burst, transitions into a smoky-sweet and woody heart, and settles into a rich, deep, and resinous amber base. It is an excellent fragrance for the cooler months. With top notes of Grapefruit, Pink Pepper and Saffron, it opens up with a bright, sparkling, and spicy opening with a subtle warmth and a metallic/leathery touch from the saffron. The heart introduces a sophisticated, masculine core of dry wood/Cedarwood and rich tobacco, softened by a creamy, sensual vanilla. Base notes of Frankincense, Patchouli, Cashmeran and Dry Amber blend together to create a dry down that is deep and long lasting. Frankincense and dry amber create a smoky, resinous warmth, while patchouli adds an earthy depth. For me the elixir is less of a direct Dior clone and more as its own smoky, sweet, and woody creation. Performance here is super good, easily giving 8-10+ hours on the skin.It is also a strong projector, leaving a noticeable and magnetic scent trail. Its warm, spicy, and smoky nature is perfectly suited for cold weather.It's versatile enough for both everyday use in the colder months and evening/special occasions where you want to make a statement. Its bold profile makes it an excellent choice for a date night or formal event. if you enjoy intense, warm, smoky-sweet, and woody fragrances and are looking for a "beast mode" performer. Try before you buy if you are sensitive to heavy incense or spice notes.
