What does Elixir smell like?

Aquatic notes and mandarin orange open it on a light, airy note. In the heart, ylang-ylang, jasmine and orange blossom bring out the floral side, with a creamy softness alongside. In the base, cashmere, cedarwood and amber settle it onto a woody, sweet footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter close behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads feminine and modern. Câline Nuit de Musc and Clean Blonde Rose have a close profile.
