Hasttir

The scent smells like cherry-flavored sugary bubblegum. It is a fragrance suited for very young people, or even strictly teenagers. It is definitely not masculine, but unisex, though in my personal opinion, it suits teenage girls best. If overapplied, it has a very high chance of bothering those around you. Extremely sweet and fruity.
​Longevity is 10+ hours. Projection is quite good for 5–6 hours.

It opens with a bitter, medicinal scent reminiscent of a sterile environment. It softens slightly after a while, but the harsh, hospital-like smell persists. However, at the 3-hour mark, it undergoes an incredible transformation, evolving into a sweet, leathery, and floral yet masculine fragrance. I really enjoyed this shift. In the dry-down, the sweet and floral aspects take center stage, pushing the fragrance slightly toward the feminine side. Not everyone can tolerate the opening hours, and there is a strong possibility of receiving negative feedback from people around you. Therefore, it is definitely not suitable for a blind buy.
​Longevity and Projection: 10/10

For the first hour, it has a bitter, medicinal scent reminiscent of a hospital. Then it softens a bit. That bitterness and medicinal quality didn't change much on my skin; the fragrance stayed linear and showed no development. Guilty Absolu de Parfum also started with that same bitter and medicinal opening, but it underwent a major transformation and really impressed me. That's why the Elixir was a disappointment for me. But the scent still has a captivating and intriguing side to it.
​Longevity and projection 10/10. It was still very strong on my arm even after 12 hours. After washing, its projection decreased, but I could still catch whiffs of it. At the 24-hour mark, it was still lingering when I brought my arm close.

Basically, it is very similar to Le Male Le Parfum. It's hard to tell them apart at first glance—meaning if you already have Le Parfum, you don't need to buy this. Even though the honey and tobacco in the base notes show themselves a bit, they don't create a major difference. Because of these small differences, Elixir just feels a bit more youthful, while Le Parfum feels a bit more sophisticated.
​Longevity is around 8-9 hours. Projection is good for the first few hours, then it drops to a skin scent.

This perfume feels much more like an Invictus flanker than Acqua Di Gio. If I smelled it without seeing the bottle, I would definitely say Invictus. The Acqua Di Gio DNA is there, but it's hidden deep down. You can only tell it's Acqua Di Gio if you smell it up close and very carefully.
