So basically this is an improvement on the original especially in the drydown (totally agree with you on). Sounds like they refined it nicely, hmmm gotta check it out!
My only problem with the OG, which is also an EDP is the performance. It smells great but I only get about four hours from it. Looking forward to the full review to see how the performance is. Looking forward to the Burberry Hero Parfum too, I really like the EDP although it gets no love. It’s in the top 10 bestselling fragrances for men the last two years so people like it.
Nice! I'm glad you got! Great intro as usual! Sounds great! Yeah putting up with trying to buy fragrance at places can be work , especially when you can't get straight answer etc to your question?yeah if people don't understand the language, terminology with fragrances, formulation etc,that's no good lol.but I understand if new to fragrances etc? Thanks for getting and reviewing since you were forced to buy on a whim!.
@@FragranceDOUD yeah , RANDY I just googled exlir,it said strongest formulation,along with the word extrait de parfum ,etc.,couple other variations of word they use in labeling concentrations! I know you know ? But the persons wondering about could of just looked that up their self's.nice talking .look forward to some of the new release videos
I've never had this kind of back & forth at a Macy's. I didn't even know they'll do some of the things you proposed to them while there. I'm also new to college haha. I've first impressions I'm definitely going to try out. Wasn't a fan of the previous version.
See I know all the people who work there by name many of them follow my channel and two have my number. This lady was new so she had to call the one guy to ask
@@FragranceDOUD Ya I do know the people that well or the fact they'll let you do those things you asked about. That's super cool I'm gonna have to get in good at a Local Macys now haha
The plum from the OG was removed and substituted with a less pleasing minor fruit accord. It also is missing much of the freshness of the OG. Watch Rotten Rebel’s review for a more in depth breakdown…with no mention of a bottle of piss with a ⚡️….🙄
Do you pick up any of the listed Vanilla or Incense notes in this? a few other reviewers of said the opening is a stronger version of the original Cobalt (like you said) but then they said there was this sweet vanillic, Truffle and darkened Incense, mild spice towards the mid and drydown similar to Invictus Victory Elixir. Did you pick up anything like that?
So that came in after the first hour. I did get a touch of incense in the mid but nothing to warrant a mention. As far as the vanilla if there is any it’s far far removed into the drydown. But the drydown is basically a truffle/incense mix earthy spicy with a touch of sweetness and a touch of the fruits way dialed down.
This won’t be good for extremely hot weather. A great dumb reach for hot weather and inexpensive is Missoni wave, light blue Eau intense, Mont Blanc legend spirit., Mont Blanc explorer. These are easy dumb reach frags for high heat all under $50 online
Ya “supposed to be” that’s how it started out with sauvage elixir and 1 million elixir albeit they are both Parfum intense concentrations or anything above 22%-25% depending on the brand. But now like this one is an EDP so the name elixir is just that a name as the concentration is and EDP concentration at 10-15%. Same with boss the scent elixir which an EDP intense. Many people have been going crazy saying this is gonna be to strong or something resembling that when elixir in itself is just as u said a descriptive word describing what should be a denser richer or sweeter fragrance that “should” but not always have a higher oil concentration
Sounds kind of bad that is not more concentrated People kind of expect a extrait de parfum But I understand.. they are not forced to do that.. so they are just jumping into the elixir hype train
Really? I will agree most of them aren’t good but every one of them has at least 6 hours for me with this one being so strong in the opening hour or so that my wife could smell it two rooms away. U may be anosmic to this line or something because while it’s not the strongest fragrance out there to say it’s gone after a half hour is nuts I wouldn’t wanna see the fragrance that you consider strong It would blind people lol
Isn’t 2 minutes for an intro and explanation short. Cause for most other reviewers videos I watch many of their intros and explanations are 4 minutes or so like gents scents for instance. If it’s too long for u I apologize

Agreed with you there still Plum at the opening and dry down . New subscriber here 🎉
Thanks for subbing!

I'm going to test these at Macy's tomorrow... Thanks for the insight!
I did enjoy the smell of Cobalt, but didn't feel I needed it. I will get my nose on this version. Thanks for the review.
Ya this still might not be something u will feel u need either then

No prob buddy and ya I’m so happy I included that cause people have been going crazy about the term elixir lately

I have the OG but…that comment about the elixir drydown makes me want to try this one. Might have to flip the OG
I tried cobalt elixir yesterday & immediately reminded me of 1M Lucky. Smells good but I like Lucky better.
I agree lucky is better

Never owned a CH but I want something for a dumb reach since I live in Texas extremely hot weather

I have been hearing all kinds of shit. People don't know what they are talking about. Elixir is supposed to be a higher concentration in oil
@WilliamMiller-nr5gb I can't wait to try it hopefully it will be better than the original which I didn't care for
Ya “supposed to be” that’s how it started out with sauvage elixir and 1 million elixir albeit they are both Parfum intense concentrations or anything above 22%-25% depending on the brand.

@FragranceDOUD Yes sir right on these people don't know what they are talking about lol
You buy, she gets a commission. Simple! She’s banking on you not coming back
Well she banked wrong lol I’m gonna return and buy the new le beau
But theyre selling em for concentration prices, so its a con imo
Sounds kind of bad that is not more concentrated
People kind of expect a extrait de parfum
But I understand.. they are not forced to do that.. so they are just jumping into the elixir hype train
indicts-platinum-one million-lucky DNA!! LOL
Piss in a lighting bolt.😂
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂
But Randy piss in a lightning bolt is 🔥 😂😂😂😂
Hahahahah 🔥
good for summer?
Definitely not
No lie I dislike all of them suck this one 30 minutes the smell is gone faded away 😂
Really? I will agree most of them aren’t good but every one of them has at least 6 hours for me with this one being so strong in the opening hour or so that my wife could smell it two rooms away.
