What do reviewers say about Etra and Elixir?
The milk note is the deciding factor. It takes what could be another warm spice fragrance and makes it feel closer, almost skin-adjacent. Ceylonese cinnamon keeps it from going too soft.Etra
The eucalyptus opening either grabs you or sends you reaching for the nearest exit. But for those who appreciate a fragrance that challenges rather than comforts, this is worth the wait.Elixir
