Real talk
This is the least safe Boss Bottled release in years. Frankincense and cardamom do not politely coexist here, they argue, and that tension is the point. Either it works for you or it does not.Boss Bottled Elixir
Leather and rum come together with real skill in this composition. The leather reads smooth, the rum adds genuine warmth, and the tonka bean keeps everything from getting too heavy.John Varvatos XX Elixir
