Oriental Spice Amphora
I had a small elongated glass bottle from Elusive, but unfortunately, the fragile neck of the bottle broke not too long ago while I was closing it.
I had no choice but to transfer it.
Unfortunately, I only had an empty spray bottle available.
Since it would likely evaporate soon, I decided to wear it more often and use it up quickly.
After all, it has been around for quite a few years. It is likely from the seventies.
Before I continue, I want to say a few words about it, even though I can't say much about Elusive as I unfortunately don't know any of the fragrance notes.
I have it as Eau de Cologne, and I must say for a Cologne, the sillage is really not bad,
but back then everything was a bit more opulent.
I would describe it as an oriental-spiced Chypre and believe I can detect something like
clove. Overall, it does come across as rather austere and slightly smoky.
Unfortunately, it doesn't last very long on me, at most three hours. Maybe the EDT lasts longer, but I can't judge that unfortunately.
I find the pink bottle quite pretty; it reminds me of an amphora.
But as I said, I unfortunately had a different, long, narrow glass bottle.
This was the first time that a bottle of mine has broken.
I can't think of much more to say about Elusive.
Maybe I'll find the pretty pink bottle again.

Thanks to your, what I think is a good description, I know that the scent probably wouldn't have been for me. But it's really a shame that the beautiful bottle broke. Unfortunately, that's happened to me a few times now :( . Here's a consolation trophy for you.

Too bad, I already gave away my bottle and the other one evaporated in the cupboard. If I had known there was a fan of it. ;-)
