What does Rêve Elixir smell like?

It opens with neroli, peach blossom and pear, then moves into a heart of frangipani and iris, which pull the scent in a powdery, floral direction. The base of cedar, sandalwood and amber adds woody and gourmand notes that steady the sweetness, with a faint spicy edge in the background.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, neither very strong nor faint, though the vote count is small, so this is only a rough guide. The perfumer is Nathalie Feisthauer. Perfumes with a close profile include Prada L'Homme L'Eau and Madonna Truth or Dare Naked.
