~LOVE~
This smells pretty good and I think it can be unisex for women who are into woody fragrances. I love coconut and can smell it in this fragrance but it doesn’t go into tropical territory here. I generally enjoy the scent of nutmeg but I don’t get a lot of it here. I like honey and it’s light in this fragrance but noticeable. I was concerned about the pine tree but it’s not overpowering. I actually barely smell any pine. It’s a bit too masculine for me but it’s nice and it’s something I would wear at home for my own pleasure.
Overall I like this fragrance but it’s not special enough on me for me to love it.

EDIT – testing it out again and I’m liking it even more! it’s really nice. I really like the combination of honey, wood, and pine with a touch of floral. I might actually have to buy a bottle and change my opinion to LOVE.

Is this a copy of One Man Show Gold edition black and gold label bottle ??
I bought it yesterday…
Sweet …honey…. Mild tobacco scent…just a whiff… Attar oud ..Woody… Smokey … Strong … Loud and very warm… Kindly musky and a bit sweaty… I get the image of a Forrest filled with honey…
Not sure if a modern young guy would like to wear this crazy candy bear or camel smell.
Love it !!!!

This stuff right here has got to be the strongest in my whole collection especially the first initial spray! I understand some people will think this is over wheliming but it really isn’t if you just apply it at least half hour to an hour before you go out you should be fine. The scent itself just stands out all you really smell is honey with a booziness most definitely and slight coconut in the background which adds a nice touch. This stuff is killer it smells expensive and it works best in the winter for sure. This stuff is easily 12+ hours longevity with beast projection.7/10

So I finally got my nose on this and I had to blind buy to do so. This was reasonably confident due to my prior knowledge and high expectation of Scent Story fragrances.
Oh boy I wasn’t disappointed! Elixir delivered the same same wow factor I experienced with the original 24 Gold and even the Oud edition. (The OA admittedly to a lesser extent.)
So this is brilliant then? Well…not really, and for one simple reason the honey note is very strong and very accurate. For honey fans then this is comes highly recommended but that isn’t what 24 Elixir is all about by a long way.
The opening is a complex blend of sweet spices cinnamon and even a hint of fruit but it’s mainly a dense oriental comprised of deep, resinous, amber woods and a touch of vanilla. This part of the fragrance is hats off amazing but the honey note is there to provide an icky, borderline unpleasantness to something which is otherwise sweet and rich. Don’t get it twisted, I think it actually works very well and needs that extra dimension because if it was all fun and games, 24 Elixir wouldn’t be half as memorable and probably too safe.
There’s obvious comparisons in my mind to the recent release from CdG Floriental, then there’e a pinch of Parfum de Marly Oajan and a considerable amount more of Back to Black from By Killian. So the resulting offspring of a three-way between these is not far off what you get.
The performance is good as you’d expect but goes on very strong and projecting madly then fades considerably. This coincides with the fading of the strong honey note and what you’re left with underneath in the drydown, is all the good stuff associated with honey and non of the bad. Not to mention the resins and woody goodness in the base of this scent, I found the drydown very enjoyable.
I can’t give this too much praise for simple taste reasons and my aversion to honey in this quantity. However, this is a largely successful exercise for Scent story showing that they continue to innovate and hit, huge, stunning orientals out of the park every time.

Oh geez!!! Whew! BOOZY! AND STRONG!
Blind buy, and kinda harsh. I have 24 Gold Original EDT on order- so I have not smelled that one yet.
This is… not me. (I’m a girl who loves her gourmands) It’s really potent, cloying and super woody/boozy/honey in a masculine way. This was an expensive blind buy, so I’ll prob sell instead of give it to my husband… lol…. I think I can tell when scents use Iso E now, because it’s not something I enjoy. Very chemical woods.
I wish I got the honey/coconut/amber/vanilla… but I don’t. I get manly woods most of all. This may work for layering, but I have a feeling anything you layer with it- will be lost in the cloying mess of 24 Elixir.
I don’t know how… but this is VERY VERY BOOZY! Like getting pulled over booze/drinking because you can smell it a mile away. It made me dizzy.
Not that similar to TF Tobacco Vanille- that one isn’t as loud and cloying– yet TV super strong– just better blending and quality.
I won’t give up yet… I will try 24 Gold EDT and maybe use 1-2 sprays of Elixir next time. I used 3 on my skin, and normally nothing lasts on my bare skin. (In fact, the only scents that last on skin are the ones I hate… haha… Youth Dew, Mitsouko, Diesel Fuel for Life Femme…) This lasted on skin with tremendous projection– so good news for those who love it!
Would be willing to swap my 3-sprays-used 100ml bottle? For another 100ml I like? Otherwise, due to the rarity of the 24 scents, I may sell on ebay.

In the drydown, reminds me in some ways the TF Tobacco Vanille. IMO of course, not a expert 😉 But, definitely worth a “try by yourself”. Opens with a strong honey accord mixed with (i was led to believe, by the notes up here) coconut. Lasts forever and projects beastly.
Shalfeus – :
I bought this after trying a sample of the original 24 Gold the Oud version, and this one. I chose this one to buy and I am not sorry. This reminds me of Raghba but with an edge. I get the tobacco, rose and honey. The amber is there too, but I do not detect any coconut and since I am not fond of coconut, the better. This will last around 24 hours or more and is just gets better as it goes along. Strong, long lasting, leathery, tobacco, amber and honey with roses. What’s there not to like? Love this one! Yes, its sweet too, but not too much. The opening has a bit of a sharpness to it. I would say a 5/5

Beautifully done and completely unisex. Not as loud and brash as previous 24 scents but that’s fine in my books as it has excellent longevity and tolerable sillage. This is all about honey and guaiac wood with a pinch of coconut. The woods give it a masculine vibe while the honey keeps it unisex. These sweet tobacco type scents have been popping up a lot after Pure Havane by Mugler made it popular but this one does have the coconut note to be different. Give it a try if you like Chergui and Kilian Back 2 Black.

this perfume makes me remember the time when i used to smoke a pipe. There are some pipe tobaccos they smell exactly the same
balaxon – :
I’ve only worn this two or three times and not until today gave it a good wearing.
Even after riding bicycle this fragrance sticks around, I immediately felt that this scent was way better than the original 24 Gold by Scentstory.
Coconut in fragrances usually sticks out like a sore thumb to me but in this scent it works okay and just gives it a sweet vibe and not fruity/coconutty type of note.
Ромашкин – :
This is based on one wearing. I did picked up a lot of tobacco like others have. Could be the combo of the honey and guaiac wood. Do pick up coconut on the background. Not as powerful as the original but still pretty strong.
IIJIATON – :
A slight departure from the original 24 Gold and certainly in a different direction from 24 Gold Oud, 24 Gold Elixir is almost purely sweet in the way of 24 Gold but certainly more emphatic in certain aspects.
I agree with the honey amber characterization, though I’m assuming the tobacco perception is a misunderstanding. I don’t get any tobacco, but the sweetness of this does make it resemble some sweet tobacco fragrance, the likeness being the sweetness.
I’m not sure the EDP concentration has much bearing on it, as the original 24 Gold was strong as an EDT, and 24 Gold Oud was equally strong as an EDT concentree. Surely it follows that 24 Gold Elixir is strong as an EDP, though I’m not sure it’s much stronger.
Overall, the blend of the original 24 Gold is smoother better but 24 Gold Elixir is fun in its own right with a different kind of sweetness, honey and coconut. I’ll certainly consider reaching for this as it becomes cheaper (as it has started at $80 for 100ml).

Def a tobacco vanilla vibe going on here
Great staying power and sillage too
8/10
Dubrovskyi – :
Very different from 24 Gold. VERY strong. The best overall feeling I get is a intense honey amber. Intense honey… with a sprinkling of coconut. The coconut is very mild. Oddly at times it smells exactly like a pack of honeyed pipe tobacco with a slight rose.
oblivskaia – :
First note I noticed was coconut and something boozy. Then it started to smell like hospital disinfectant. Then it became similar to Tobacco Vanille – insofar as TV smells like pot-pourri.
Very strong.
dima1949 – :
I find this very different from the original 24G. The opening is quite intoxicating: dry, slightly leathery saffron with hints of rose jam. During the brief transition, I get just a hint of dry woods, immediately followed by something like chocolate liqueur and lots of coconut-this intensely gourmand combo, reminiscent of chocolate biscotti, is a bit overwhelming, but interesting. Further into the base, I find it loses much of its appeal, leaving a trail of Iso E and some faint vanilla. Elixir starts strong, but dies down after a couple of hours; performance is nowhere near that of its predecessors. Nice and different, but sadly a bit disappointing overall.
volk2010777 – :
In my experience, a harsher, less pleasant 24 gold. Not worth buying as the EDT performs well
