Penhaligon'sElixir4.180 ratingsEucalyptus, roses and incense, on a bed of clean, benzoin-dusted woods. Elixir is a steamy, vaporous experience, like having a spa day in the middle of a Gothic cathedral.

This one sounds fantastic. Long discontinued, I see 😞

Yeah 😢 why they do this to us we'll never know. Tried a bunch from Penhaligon's, but Elixir remains my favourite - such a pure, crystalline incense.

Green and rose and incense sounds divine!! I ordered (blindly) legacy of Petra yesterday because it has been discontinued and the price was excellent. I never do that. Here’s hoping 🤞🏻

So it’s a chilled night at home for me. Elixir is a beautiful scent, and it’s a crying shame that it’s been discontinued. Mentholated rosy incense wisps through warm, gingery spices before slowly

There's no ginger in the notes, but right away I get a distinctive mulled ginger ale accord. It's quite fleeting, but provides a lovely opening, and soon gives way to something much more persistent

Mentholated spices, rosy incense and pale woods dusted with benzoin. It’s like relaxing in a spa that just so happens to be in the middle of a Gothic cathedral. There’s a gorgeous, vapourous quality
