Elie Saab Elixir Eau de Parfum Review
Elixir opens a new, deeply sensual chapter for Elie Saab. The fragrance features a unique Love Accord that downright transforms the fragrance into a love potion. Just like magic, the scent manages to convey classy elegance and fierce seduction at the same time.
This Fragrance Smells Like…
Elixir is a decadent, feminine scent reminiscent of the most elegant bouquet of flowers. The white floral scent is not particularly pungent but rather powdery and warm, as the Love Accord that was exclusively created for Elixir adds a warm and sweet note similar to amber. Coupled with the burnt vanilla note of benzoin, Elixir comes to be a deep, floral scent that radiates sensuality and elegance in equal parts.
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
Elixir is best described as the older, more sophisticated sister of the brand’s popular fragrance line Girl of Now. Where Girl of Now is light and playful, Elixir is sensual, dark and powerful. Elie Saab truly created a love potion with this fragrance and we can thank the exclusively composed Love Accord for this. The amber-like scent of the blend lends the fragrance an elegant yet confident sensuality. No one embodies this better than former Victoria’s Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel as the face of the fragrance. She is as sexy and beautiful as she is classy and fierce – and that is exactly how Elixir makes you feel.
You Will Love This If…
As the grown-up, elegant version of the Girl of Now fragrance line, Elixir is perfect for all long-term lovers of Elie Saab’s fragrance and fashion that are looking for a chic and decadent scent. In fact, the fragrance is ideal for anyone who wants a timeless, classy fragrance that will make you feel like a fierce businesswoman or a fallen angel.
This Perfume Smells Similar To:
Elixir smells like the most romantic Valentine’s date – candy hearts and dozens of white flowers.
Is Elixir Unisex?
As a rich, floral scent Elixir is marketed towards women, but would suit anyone that is on the lookout for a decadent fragrance that makes you feel sensual and powerful at the same time.
What’s The Longevity Like?
Elixir effortlessly stands the test of time and lasts even longer than the usual 4 to 5 hours that you would expect from an Eau de Parfum. In fact, the scent easily survived 5 days on a perfume strip that was getting crushed in my handbag.
What’s Special About The Bottle?
The embellished, spherical bottle features a golden cap that is engraved with the monogram of the fashion house and reflects the brand’s lavish haute couture collection. Just like the fashion designs, the bottle is extravagant, heavy and exudes luxury.
