The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by the Spanish brand 27 87, Elixir de Bombe is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance created by perfumer Mark Buxton. The scent opens with a burst of tangerine and raspberry, offering a bright and fruity freshness that immediately grabs attention. As it evolves, ginger and red pepper introduce a subtle spiciness that adds depth and warmth. The heart notes of ylang-ylang and rock rose bring a floral sweetness that is further enhanced by the caramel and amber base. This blend creates an inviting gourmand aroma with a touch of leather for added complexity.

How to wear it

Elixir de Bombe has moderate longevity and sillage, so aim for two sprays to ensure the fragrance lasts throughout the day. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, while the spicy and gourmand base notes slowly unfold over time. This makes it ideal for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves with your mood.

Mark Buxton

The blind-test prodigy

Mark Buxton, born in England and raised near Hamburg, entered perfumery almost by accident: at 21, a German game show challenge to identify 600 perfumes by scent alone caught the attention of Haarmann & Reimer, who offered him a place in their Paris training program.
