Firstly, I will not compare it to the Boss Bottled as I don`t own one and have never smelled it.

Initial thoughts -
I bought this because I liked the fruity sweet smell but not really 100% my type of fragrance, however at the price of Eu5.99 decided to still buy it also because reviews were saying it is a Boss Bottled Dupe. I don`t own/ nor owned the Boss bottled but you know, having a dupe of Boss for that price, decided to still buy it and use it for daily use.

Final thoughts -

In my statement below I have stated that I like it, I use it but won`t be buying another bottle. BUT.
Using it almost daily, the smell grew on me, and occasionally after a shower in the morning, I feel the urge to put on a fruity sweet fragrance, knowing I have it, I use it. Longevity extremely good on my skin, sillage extremely good as well after 4 hours I still smell it myself as I move and also get compliments. (6 sprays). Considering, the price, the good chemistry with my skin, I have decided to buy a second bottle just in case they reformulate it.

I have purchased the Elixir after a whole day smelling testers in perfumeries but could not find the Elixir in stock. In the evening I finally found one and bought it, after I smelled the tester and loved it. Once I got home, I opened the box and sprayed it again on my wrist. After, an hour, I could not smell it anymore, so I panicked and thought i may have bought a bad batch. I have the 100ml bottle and production was from 8 months ago.

I gave it sometime, left it closed in the closet. After few weeks, I have decided to try it again, and men, the smell was strong and longevity was for hours. I also noticed, where I sprayed it, the skin had like an oily patch form the spray, meaning its very concentrated. I had a shower (did not scrub my wrist but water went on it), and the day after I could still smell through my wrist and smell the beautiful scent, obviously weak but still there.

Sometimes, we smell so many perfumes, in a short amount of time that our noses go blind and immediately decide that the batch is wrong. Give your nose a break, you`ll see the difference.

I had a couple of discounts and managed to buy it for around Eur 160 for the 100ml bottle from a good reliable perfumery in Europe.

The scent is masculine, warm, strong, sexy and elegant at the same time, not elegant as much as DHI but in a different way. I`m glad I bought it, not sure how many occasions I have to be able to wear it but was worth the price and the scent is unique.

Obviously, this is only my personal opinion.

Beautiful, fresh, fruity but not sweet fragrance. Performance is a beast, silage as well. Worth buying, similar to Aventus in my opinion. HAving tried Aventus, I can honestly say that is not identical but similar and has its own unique DNA. Performance is better than the latest Aventus reformulations. Even if they costed the same price, I`ll gladly buy this one over the Aventus.

You won`t be disappointed. Trust me.

I was at a duty free and found a tester bottle which was visibly empty. I asked the shop assistant for another tester which they did not have. I decided to squeeze whatever there was left, and I managed to spray half a spray on my wrist. I loved the smell but wanted to see how it evolved on my skin, however I did not have enough time and decided to leave for the flight and assess it during the day.

The smell married my skin beautifully, Iris, woody and also some hints of Chocolatey orange in the background. I sprayed it at 5:30am, I could still smell it late afternoon and then became a skin scent at around 8pm. Certain perfumes don`t work out for me, in terms of longevity on my skin, but this, this was a beast for me, considering I sprayed almost half a spray!

I decided to buy it as soon as I arrived back to my country. Elegant, sexy, class and unique with an amazing performance.

Bought the 100ml bottle, and as soon as I can, I would buy another bottle just in case any reformulations arise.
