What does Assaf Frankel Blue Elixir smell like?
Three kinds of citrus sit at the top of Assaf Frankel Blue Elixir: orange, sweet lemon and mandarin, with pink pepper adding a light, dry spice. The heart moves away from fruit juice towards tea and herbs. Black tea is dry and faintly smoky, blackcurrant is tart, lavender is aromatic, and nutmeg and cinnamon add a gentle warmth.
The base is brief: patchouli and guaiac wood. Patchouli is earthy and slightly sweet, and guaiac wood is smoky and a little tarry, so the finish is dry and woody rather than sugary. With so little underneath, the citrus, tea and spice carry most of the character in what is overall a fresh, spiced, woody scent.
Who is Assaf Frankel Blue Elixir for?
Blue Elixir carries a men's listing and a clean, citrus-and-tea profile. Nothing in the pyramid is creamy or syrupy, so the character stays crisp and aromatic. The shop has tagged it for spring and summer, and for daily wear and work.
