Bath & Body Works Mahogany Teakwood Elixir Cologne Review

Bath & Body Works Mahogany Teakwood Elixir Cologne is a men’s fragrance built around lavender, mahogany and black teakwood. It launched in 2023 and sits within the retailer’s broader Mahogany Teakwood line, which has become one of the brand’s best-known woodsy profiles. The Elixir name signals a higher fragrance-oil concentration than the core cologne, though Bath & Body Works does not present it as a separate Fragrantica or Basenotes entry. The fragrance is positioned as an accessible everyday scent rather than a luxury niche composition. Its listed accords are woody, lavender, aromatic, fresh spicy and herbal. The official Fragrantica note pyramid is limited: the page lists mahogany and lavender, and Bath & Body Works describes the scent with mahogany, black teakwood and lavender. As a result, the top, middle and base breakdown used in this review is an approximation: lavender reads as the opening, mahogany forms the heart, and black teakwood anchors the drydown. No individual perfumer is publicly credited by Bath & Body Works for this release. That is common for mass-market retailer fragrances, where an in-house team develops the scent and the brand, rather than a named nose, carries the public identity.
