Description
Cultural Wander
I first recognized the long avenue bordered with tall trees by its distinctive scent. An invigorating blend of orange blossom and the the deep comforting smell of fresh tobacco leaves, reminiscent of the old tobacco factory at the end of the street.
I walked passed the old building that had once inspired the Carmen novel. The whole atmosphere was as unique and vibrant as the characters of the famous Opera. Sparkling, seductive, warm and slightly dramatic.
Leaving the vibrant atmosphere behind me, I entered the narrow streets of the barrio, still surrounded by the comforting musky trail. Gems of gardens were hiding behind high whitewashed walls, only given away by mischievous notes of fruity fragrances. Intrigued, I boldly pushed a heavily studded wooden door, revealing the most sumptuous patio I had ever seen. Covered in green mosaic and organized around a crystalline water fountain, it was shaded by a majestic fig tree that was putting the ultimate touch to this unforgettable scented picture.
24 Elixir Neroli was launched in 2017.

Simply incredible. Love from the first sniff.
Neroli smells really natural and warm, there is no sharp citrus opening. It opens on with the beautiful fresh neroli and green notes, moving towards the dry-down it gets a little muskier and sweetens up a bit, can easily pick up the tea and mint notes which compliments neroli really well. Incredibly well blended and balanced. Niche quality with superb performance.
Sample will be empty soon, full bottle is a must.
I love neroli scents and this one is up there with the best of the best.

Agree with the description in first review.
I’m actually loving this, it actually doesn’t smell like any other Neroli I own and I own quite a few
The closest thing I can think of is a sweet, soapy version of the Zegna Mediterranean Neroli meets Ultra Male, can’t stop sniffing my wrist

I agree with the bottom reviewer that there are notes unlisted but I could not tell you what they all are for sure..
As for what it smells like sorta like a thick, yet somehow still a bit sparkly soapy scent. The bottle for this one deff is spot on as my brain does immediately call to mind the color green. Theres a freezer burn note in this as well.
As for a story for this one ill say, youre a scientist your tasked with making a bar of soap out of a beverage(hence the somewhat sparkly aspect of the fragrance)you take your different soapy ingredients and pour it into the rectangular shape, forming a bright green bar. But now you have to freeze it over night for it to harden.
The next morning you open up the freezer and you get that thick sorta freezer burn smell, and also a bit of musk as I guess the bar of soap has been double tasking and cleaning the insides of the freezer as well giving it a thick aura to it. You grab this bar of soap it has just a slight sparkly to it from the drinkable almost nuances left.
Whatever the case, im not a big fan of soapy scents so its not my thing, but its not awful smelling or anything and im sure it has its crowd.

I picked up a bottle of this on fragrancebuy a few weeks back.
The notes listed on this are entirely wrong. According the Scentstory, the notes are:
Tonic orange, mint, bergamot, white tea
Neroli, violet, ginger, gardenia
Cedarwood, musk, tonka
I’m not sure why their description mentions tobacco, because there isn’t any in this scent.
Any rate, this stuff opens with a strong, almost slightly harsh blast of citrus, along with an almost medicinal, sour note, and a slight bit of soapiness. It’s fairly pleasant and fresh, though I’m not sure I entirely love it.
The drydown, to me, is very reminiscent of Tom Ford Venetian Bergamot. It has that same creamy, slightly spicy, floral citrus, almost banana candy-like. There is a little bit of overlaying soapiness that sets it apart, though. I don’t really get much wood, despite the fact that Scentstory lists it as a “hesperidic-woody” scent. Very interesting overall, though not entirely original. I am a fan of Venetian Bergamot and was thinking of buying a bottle, but I may not now. Elixir Neroli is close enough that I probably won’t bother.
Performance is pretty good. It doesn’t have the ridiculous sillage of 24 Gold (where I would get complaints that I could be smelled a block away after 2 sprays), but it’s certainly not weak. I slept in this stuff last night and I can still smell it on my skin this afternoon, so longevity is pretty solid.
I’m gonna say 8/10 overall.
