Asad Elixir

Wear this after the leaves turn, not before. Pink pepper and saffron up top, smoky tobacco and cedar in the middle, a dense resin base of frankincense and dry amber.

It comes in spicy and sharp, pink pepper, saffron and grapefruit, before darkening fast into tobacco and cedar softened by vanilla. The base is where it gets serious: frankincense, patchouli, cashmeran and dry amber, resinous and warm, holding steady for hours. Projection is strong for the first three or four hours, then it settles into something that still reads clearly up close. Wear it light in the office and skip it in July.

Most people land on Dior Sauvage Elixir as the closest comparison, though a few call out Boss Bottled Absolu instead.

Questions people ask

Is Asad Elixir authentic?
Yes. Every bottle comes from a licensed U.S. fragrance distributor and arrives factory-sealed in its retail box. Come smell it yourself at our stall in the Patapsco Flea Market in Baltimore before you buy.

How long does Asad Elixir last?
Plan on 8-10 hours on skin, noticeably longer on fabric. Projection is moderate to heavy. Two sprays is plenty indoors.

What does Asad Elixir smell similar to?
Dior Sauvage Elixir is the usual comparison, for that same spicy, tobacco-heavy density. This one carries more incense in the base. It's not a copy, but the resemblance is close enough to matter if Sauvage Elixir is what you're after.
