Accord skeleton

Woody carries the OLFx reconstruction at 28%, followed by Amber at 18%. Resinous and Spicy, at 14% each, give the incense-and-cardamom side its weight, while Citrus, Aromatic and Musky play smaller supporting roles. Citrus is an OLFx lift here rather than a note the retailer lists. These accord groups describe how OLFx builds the formula; the retailer's note list is shown above.

FAQ

• What are the notes in Boss Bottled Elixir?
  Dillard's describes incense and cardamom top notes, a vetiver and patchouli heart and a cedarwood base, and files the fragrance under Woody (checked September 29, 2026). Those notes anchor the OLFx build.
• Does Boss Bottled Elixir contain apple?
  Apple is not in the note list Dillard's publishes for Boss Bottled Elixir, checked September 29, 2026. The listed notes are incense, cardamom, vetiver, patchouli and cedarwood, and the OLFx build follows that woody direction.
• Is this formula for Boss Bottled Elixir or Boss Bottled Absolu?
  This formula references Boss Bottled Elixir, sold as a Parfum Intense. Boss Bottled Absolu is a separate fragrance in the line with its own note list, and this page does not describe it.
• Is this a finished perfume?
  No. You get a written formula of 31 materials, not a bottle or a sample, and you blend it yourself. The Woody and Amber shares above show where the build begins.
