Latest Reviews of Osmanthus Elixir
Excellent blend
Opens with a pomelo note. That is somewhere between orange and grapefruit. It is vivid and realiatic, without any plasticy notes or anything. It is actually a pretty good representation of the actual fruit.
The white florals lily and jasmine are there, in a melange with osmanthis, which essentially smells like a dry apricot. All over a super classy base of vetiver, clean musk, and sparkling cedarwood. The blending here is excellent. Id go pretty feminine here. Long lasting, and high quality. Thumbs up.

The Elixir version of Osmanthus is pretty similar but I found some slight differences. Still has the slightly dry, citrus with florals opening but in Elixir, the white florals are amped up. Also, there is an airy-pencil shavings scent in the original that I don't pick up as much in Elixir.
Both are fem-leaning but Elixir leans even harder that way, farther from unisex. To me, this is an alluring, modern, women's scent, versatile for many occasions.
Performance is good, with projection that can be noticed and 7-8 hours longevity.
