Wait untill they hit us with the "Elixir Parfum EXTREME!!!".
Nah. They probably use the two biggest hype words lately. Elixir intense! Or Intense elixir?
Elixir Le Intense Oil Parfum Concentrè 😂😂😂 is the next
😂😂😂
I speculated a bit ago that after elixirs will come special brews
More like elixir intense extrait de parfum 😂😂
Thanks for the detailed review, looking forward to this one 👍
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Marketing,naming and pricing aside,I will definitely purchase 50ml.I loved the smell,i think it is perfect for upcoming cooler temperatures and 24 hrs later i can still smell it clearly on my arm...for me it is a very good fragrance and works on my skin.
I also have Zara's Bohemian Oud and this is better version but very similar fragrance. Zara's is dryer and this one well blended and smoother but very similar , to my nose anyway ..
Great review, I like your honesty.Being from Yorkshire too,we're not too keen on marketing ploys to take our cash !
Nope!
very good and educational video, can you do a video about macerating, so we can understand how and why that works with some frangrances.
Great review indeed. Thx a lot for sharing your knowledge and thoughts. Have an amazing evening and upcoming week. Cheers from Stockholm 🙏🤍
Cannot wait for Diors new release - Sauvage Aerated - same juice but a 1/3 more air in the bottle for an extra £50, or JPG Le Male - Pre-Macerated - same juice, sprayed 10 times at the bottling facility and left with the lid off for 2 weeks - yours for only £170 (it's french air, so of course it's more expensive).
I always try to check out boss bottled releases as I find my most complimented fragrances list has a lot of Boss fragrances on it. Wanted to pick up Boss Bottled Marine but Boss seem to have actually made that a limited edition and got rid of it. Yet to try Pacific or Elixir.
Think you’re right about the use of the word “elixir”.
Can’t wait for 2024 and “Elixir Intense Parfum”.
Boss Bottled Parfum smelled like vegetables to me so hopefully the Elixir smells better.
I'd buy Versace eros elixir
Sauvage elixir I was ok with, I didn’t buy it but I got it. Everyone has started whacking “elixir” on a bottle to grab a pound note. But I don’t blame them, it worked with oud eau extreme l’eau Parfum intensely.
Just got this and I'm in the States. First impression, this is right up my alley with the cardamom and incense. Personally, it will probably be my favorite in the Boss Bottled line just because of my tastes. As for the quality of the blend, I was pleasantly surprised. $100 for 100ml was fair to me since I didn't want to wait. At discounters it will be a steal. I do recommend this one.
Yeah it’s decent!
Great video, thank you.
This is my fave release from Hugo Boss in a very long time. Also, the fragrance smells and acts as something that has high concentration. If it’s technically edp or parfum I cannot verify but I know it smells rich and lasts a long time.
Never thought I will pay anywhere near let alone over $100 for a Boss fragrance and be happy about it but this is one of my fave pickups in recent years.
Macys had a discount but it’s also appearing at discounters slowly but surely. Amazing scent!
I want an elixir version of all the fragrances I love!!!
Spicebomb Elixir! 😂
Got mine coming tomorrow can't wait
Bro I want to get one. What’s your opinion on this cologne
@@Iam.eshunn it's good, dark and earthy, I like it.
@@AssassinsBlade25 please what is the compliment factor and the silage and lasting power ?
@@Iam.eshunn I usually spray each side of my neck 3 times, I smell it for a good 6 hours, I've had a few compliments from people in work
Sprayed this two weeks ago on my neck and wrists. The spray also hit the jacket that I was wearing.
Two weeks later and you can smell it on my jacket as it still projects.
Too peppery a smell for me but it does have an appeal.
You’re completely spot on mate. Had a similar experience with this fragrance and can’t wait to receive mine.
Love this ❤
Dont know if it's just my nose by I get a slight MFK Grand Soir vibe from this.
tried it today
its really top notch juice especially from boss
have owned boss scent private accord and absolute, both are fantastic
boss bottled marine a nice all rounder but this elixir is definitely the strongest most potent juice i have ever sampled from boss
bravo to boss
expensive juice still exclusive to perfume shop in uk
£73 for 50ml and £100 for 100ml
is it me but frags are now reaching or exceeding the ton price range
will try to get the 100ml for around £70 in black friday
I managed to snag a bottle of this around 2 months ago now (work in the industry) I left a review on Fragrantica. It’s definitely marketing. I do like the fragrance a lot, I’m glad I didn’t pay for it ;) - I do feel as though Fragrance Houses are pushing their luck! Earlier this year Mugler launched ‘Angel Elixir’ now, this is where things get a little muddy and it’s tricking the consumer 100%. A couple of years ago Mugler launched something called ‘Angel Voluptuous Philter’ it was launched in Canada on the official Mugler website, it was only available in a 10ML format. It ‘was’ designed to be layered over the original Angel fragrance! Guess what fragrance was in those 10ML flacons!? Angel Elixir. An egregious con trick played out to the everyday consumer and brings the industry down.
Very interesting!
Soon we will have Elixir Intense or Elixir Extreme. What will follow is maybe Elixir Absolu and then Elixir Extrait. It is getting crazy and out of control.
To me it smells niche quality or like oud wood or oud noir. Great for dressing up and great performance. I’m gonna get a bottle
I got it. I love it but have to like oriental sent for apreciate it.
Agree with you. Niche quality for real
I was using Sauvage Elixir as the standard. So I purchased PR Victory Elixir and it just doesn’t come off feeling like Iit really lived up to the Elixir designation. To me it just comes off as an Invictus flanker.
Invictus Victory Elixir is way too nutty for me. I prefer the original Victory
Is that a Tissot PRX you wearing ? Nice watch 👌
I got my 100ml bottle on Saturday. A friend gave me a discount code so I got it for £85 with free delivery and Hugo Boss bag 'that I will never use'. At first I was confused, because this is so different to anything, and I have tried thousands over the last 20 years! For uniqueness it definitely gets a 10 out of 10. It took me a few wearings to get my head around this, but now I am really enjoying it! I think this is going to be amazing for Autumn/Winter, it is going to be getting a lot of wear for sure!
Buy the bag off ya for a tenner
Same for me very very good. But have to like oriental sent for apreciate it
@@oJ4BZz
Nah its my new work bag
Where did you get it where you could use a discount code?
Also, ive tried BB Elixir a couple times from my local boots and I think its nice, I think when I smell it up close I dont love it but I also find myself getting random whiffs of it and thinking 'wow I smell good' so it is a strange one.
order of strength ie increased concentration of perfume oils, hence decreasing amounts of alcohol
1cologne
2edt
3edp
4parfum
5extrait de parfum usually very small bottles 15 to 30ml come with stoppers no spray
6attars ie oils come with stoppers no spray
These companies need to make the %'s known.
I just tried this in the store and Im blown away by the smell. But I I'll wait a little bit for the price to drop. 100€ for 50ml is a bit much.
Sauvage elixir definitely lasts longer that the parfum, it does on me anyway. Seems to have a higher oil concerntration?
I have to really disagree on this not being “beast mode”. I sprayed it on a jacket nearly 2 weeks ago and it’s still there. And not just faintly there, I can still easily smell it to the point that spraying on other fragrances doesn’t even mask it. If you spray it on clothing, you will have to wash them to get rid of this stuff.
I have a Old bottle of Boss Og in that green Canteen Bottle with the Screw on cap ,I sprayed it on last week 🤬🤮🤢 , but I have the Boss(Soul) Is completely different Smells of Plum Tobacco Incense Nice ,
I'm glad they're doing "elixir" over something like "eau fraiche" or "sport"
Hi chris, can i ask you a white gardenia petals (by illuminum) review? Thanks❤
Random question but are you the voice of Jet2, guy on the plane announcement sounded exactly like you 🤔
Whats the best Projecting Tom Ford fragrance for you that lasts? Minus Ombre leather.
Tuscan Leather 👌🏻
Chris always with the early fews
Ordered this from boots today 36 free post today
it's pretty good, I got a 50ml for myself :)
This one is very nice.
Next year's trend will be back the opposite direction with L'Eau's, IMO... because, you know, they'll need to maintain the income stream rate... but perhaps I'm just a bit too cynical. I suppose variety remains the spice of life!
Variety is not the spice of life, it's the ELIXIR of life!!!!
I think I’m not susceptible to marketing because I have no elixir fragrances. Then I remember how many intense and extreme fragrances I have.
I enjoyed boss.... Bottled... Magnetic... Bottle
I'm loving exlir line just mean it is all i ask
“I don’t give a sniff” 🤣
Maybe the word Elixir has a high score in Scrabble,which justifies the price hike? 😅
Can't wait until Aaron gets his mitts on it haha
Elixir extrait essential is next 😅
Dude, get the original, one of my first signature back in the day (and you're a (little) bit order 😂
Spiced cola! I like the sound of that! Excellent review Chris. It's interesting, you take a standard 100 mL perfume @20% oil volume, take out 40 mL of alcohol and suddenly you've got a 60 mL perfume @33%. There's your extrait, and all you had to do was skimp on the alcohol. 😆 Put it in a smaller bottle that's cheaper to manufacture, call it God's Goodness, inflate the price et voila! Happy investors. Not to mention raising the concentration of woody ambers to skimp on other ingredients... More power to them I suppose. Yes that was a pun. 😂 I will be giving this one a try though. Haven't been impressed by a single Bottled flanker since Intense edp. Confusing naming conventions certainly not going away!
I like the oud versions. Other than that I don't have any boss bottled fragrances
@@Roy-eu1gq Yeah, Bottled Oud wasn't bad at all. I also went through an entire bottle of Bottled Tonic. Not exactly impressive, but both decent.
I don't mind the elixer designation. It means nothing, as you mentioned. So, who cares about the name, its a new release and ill judge it based on what it brings to the table. I guess what im saying is there isnt a difference to me whether they named this boss bottled elixer or boss bottled night or whatever, boiled down its just a new release.
Sure, but perhaps we’re paying more just for that word.
@FRAGMENTAL sure, perhaps, but it is worth paying twice as much just for that one word. So I can tell everyone I am wearing an elixir and watch them being impressed by it, longing for the day when they finally can buy a elixir themselves and feel above everyone else. If England had a king, I am sure an Elixir is what he would wear.
And I am going to call it now, the next big hype word to even charge more for a fragrance will be: half-empty!
Think of it: boss bottled half-empty. Dior homme half-empty. Valentino uomo half-empty. Paco Rabanne 1 million half-empty.
I, for one, can't wait for it!
Mancera Red Tobacco Intense Elixir, coming soon. Hopefully.
Good news for you because Mancera Red Tobacco Intense is official
@@AriaVirtua 🤣🤣🤣🤣 almost there. Elixir up next🤣🤣🤣
That will probably be classified as a bio weapon!!
@@Roy-eu1gq 🤣🤣
@@Roy-eu1gqNo, this will be just old pre-reformulated Red Tobacco with a bit of tweaking.
Imagine a day when Chanel or Dior releases a new line!!
Kinda expecting just that pretty soon from Dior with the hire of FK.
@@WilliamMiller-nr5gb would be interesting to see a time line of new line releases from the top designers to see the longest gap between releases
I’m expecting a new Dior this year as MFK is now at the company
Chanel? Keep dreaming. They just re release old formulas in new bottles 😭
Chanel will release a new line when they stop making money from Bleu; so never.
And Aaron's Unicorn Elixir is coming too! 🤣
That fragrance is no joke. Sounds so beautifull...😢
@@Roy-eu1gq too bad they don't ship to Hungary 😞
Next one will be boss bottled elixir intense
Hugo Boss bottled elixir intense extreme Parfum next please😂😂
Axe Body Spray Elixir anyone?
Pulled back from buying fragrances lately because it’s becoming to much. They aren’t letting enjoy anything before coming out with the next slight iteration. They are watering down the edts in order to come out with more potent expensive versions..,, edts used to last all day not they are puffs of scent designed to last 2 hours.
This nailed it right here. I could swear i ll smell some EDPs or Parfums and feel like thats how i rmbr the EDT smelling
@@edwardbrock3807 I often think of paco rabanne 1 million how it’s an edt and has explosive projection and longevity. Now to get that performance you need an exlixr for triple the price
So then , boss elixir or JPG elixir, what you having .
JPG!
Where did you get it from?
I really want this 😊
I just checked, and perfume shop has it for now.
Soon, everyone surely will
@@maciejjirowec3315
Brilliant thanks 👍
They say it smells like a fart from a gentleman in the 1930´s..and Girls don´t like it. Who needs a full bottle of this that costs 130 dollars. It´s a scent for special events when you are dressed up in suit and tie. A pass for me. I have The Scent le parfum and Bottled EDP.. Very happy with those. Big credit to Boss for making so many releases and exploring different things.
Do the elixir have higher concentration of oils than parfum?
I felt I addressed this point in the video.
@@FRAGMENTAL not really. You whole video kinda was this point. 😂 you explained it very well. Marketing is a powerfull tool!
@@FRAGMENTAL yeah I made this comment before I heard you say it
Totally comical this trend of names!!
It's a 20 percent concentration.

Selling
£71 on notino at the moment.... for 100ml
Well, the note is very good
But...will see 😅
Waiting for Givenchy Gentleman Elixir. 😂
And now there's Boss Bottled Triumph Elixir! 😂
I paid the equivalent of 90 pounds for 100ml
Elixir Intense, Elixir Parfum, ELIXIR COLOGNE (wat?!)…won’t surprised if this is the future.
Unfortunately 😏
You get elixir, you get elixir you get elixir"
Do I get the elixir?
Why worry about the name gents? I only care about the juice. Is it any good ya dig
I find frankincense quite church like maybe because of Jesus and incense in churches especially at a Catholic funeral or a cathedral service.
Yeah all this elixir Business is ridiculous. But I’d really welcome a Dior homme elixir from MFK with open arms. Then after that no more 😂😂😂
Elixir is definitely used as a marketing strategy…What would have been funny is if you temporarily changed the name of your channel to Frag-Mental Elixir.
You know, just for the video
You´re funny
😄
Smelt it today - nothing special - personally I slightly prefer the Parfum, probably give this 7.5/10
Edit: I sprayed it at 12:30 and it’s 5:30pm now and I still manage to smell it
parfum definitely way better
Yeah the Parfum is excellent. It’s more a moderate sillage and longevity I’d say but that’s fine, the scent is lovely. Elixir is burnt wood and smoke it’s really not pleasant. The Parfum is underrated and I imagine a lot haven’t tried it. In my opinion Boss should’ve swapped them around. Also a lot of people don’t realise Elixir is just a marketing term and doesn’t mean it’s any stronger then a Parfum concentration. A lot of the time it’s exactly the same.
Great smell = if it don’t last, I’ll pass
To my nose Bottled Elixir is disgusting. It’s the smell of pine, burnt wood and smoke. The opening is harsh and the drydown really doesn’t get much better. I don’t understand how there are any positive reviews and I honestly don’t understand how it would be deemed to be a pleasant or attractive smell. I tried a sample and threw jt in the bin. My wife was completely repulsed by it too. Strongly suggest avoiding and or sampling first. It’s not a blind buy guys.
I NEED EVERY FRAGRANCE, MORE TGE MARRIER.
Bentley intense clone
This fragrance is ok but smells a bit old fashioned. It gets annoying and cloying after a while.
Exhausting… fragrances are just exhausting… you only need 3 or 4 scents total
Yeah, who needs anything more than a fresh fragrance and a sweet fragrance. I feel the same things about music. Who needs more than 5 songs max! The idea anyone would listen to a whole album is crazy, there just can’t be that much of a difference between that many songs. I feel the same way about food. All you need is stew. It has your meat, veggies, carbs, beans, just everything you need. Anything else is a pointless remix. What are we doing?! I don’t understand why we would have more than maybe three outfits. One suit, one set of athleisure, and set in semi formal, anything more is unnecessary and exhausting.
I’m glad we can get together and tell anyone who enjoys any of those things how silly they are for feeling like there is some sort of substantial difference between any of these things.
@@masterhand20 show me on the doll where they touched you
I only have 2 boxers, 4 thirts, 3 pants and 1 pair of shoes. Anything more is wasteful, decadent and exhausting... just exhausting.
@@Roy-eu1gq comparing clothing to fragrances haha
Again, you too, show me on the doll where they touched you
This fragrance give me so much dizziness. Horrible
Tf do you expect? It's consumerism at its finest. No designer house has made anything groundbreaking since Bleu De Chanel. I waited soooo long for le male elixir. Bought it the day it hit US shores. Total hype beast... Got home with it. Sprayed it. Have not touched it since. Le male le parfum is where my heart is. Gotta shut it down at this point. Not a collector, but I have around 60 frags. Not counting backups. Always wonder why I went down the rabbit hole of cologne. I will never wear them all to empty... Should have just stuck with Bleu De Chanel, Chanel Allure, Dolce and Gabbana light blue, and Mont Blanc Legend. That's all I needed...
