Elixir by Mast Perfume: An Oriental Spicy Scent for Men

Mast Perfume has launched Elixir, a new men’s fragrance from the Spicy Oriental family, released in 2025. The scent is composed by perfumer Richa Bharara, and it offers a clear journey from fresh spice to warm, balsamic base.

The opening is a bright clash of green mint, bergamot, cardamom and cinnamon. It feels invigorating and slightly fiery, before moving into an aromatic heart of lavender, white lily and southernwood.

Elixir is a Spicy Oriental in the classic sense, but its execution feels contemporary. The top notes are led by green mint and bergamot, which keep the opening brisk and clean. Cardamom and cinnamon soon join them, adding a gentle heat that lingers without becoming overwhelming.

At the heart, lavender supplies a familiar perfumed elegance. White lily softens the blend with a delicate floral touch, while southernwood contributes a dry, herbaceous quality. This middle section is particularly well judged: it never turns soapy or cloying.

The base rests on sandalwood, vanilla, benzoin, amber and tonka bean. Together they create a creamy, resinous foundation with a light powderiness. The sandalwood is smooth, the amber and benzoin give depth, and the vanilla and tonka bean leave a subtle sweetness on the skin.

Described through its main accords, Elixir is warm spicy, amber, aromatic, vanillic, woody and slightly green. That combination makes it suitable for evening wear and for the cooler months, when its presence can be fully appreciated.

The composition is compact and well structured, with no sudden shifts between phases. Though it is very new, Elixir already holds a perfect rating of five out of five from the first published review.

Elixir is aimed at men who enjoy spicy oriental fragrances, especially those who like a strong amber and vanilla base. It should also appeal to collectors who appreciate less common herbal notes such as southernwood.

Elixir is a carefully crafted launch from Mast Perfume and a fitting addition to 2025’s new releases. With its fresh opening, aromatic heart and warm, powdery base, it offers a modern take on the spicy oriental with plenty of character.
