Hidden superpower
The only fragrance in the Les Elixirs Precieux range where I wouldn't recommend wearing it pure. Not because it doesn't keep what it pretends to be, no because it can do much more than you might originally think. Applied pure and rubbed into the skin (as one does with oils of this kind), the soapiest musk scent I have ever come across unfolds. Very clean and much more pleasing than I originally thought for practically pure musk. If you leave it at that, you will have an accompanying soft musk aura for 12 to 14 hours. Nice, but not worth the money. One day I had the idea to layer the fragrance with something from the Prive collection of Christian Dior, since most of them are based on white musk anyway. I spontaneously decided on Sakura. No sooner said than done, I layed two sprays of Sakura over a few rubbed in drops of Musc, this I did on three parts of my body.
What received me then was not the sakura I knew, but a tremendous symbiosis of the most beautiful things that unfolded a depth that I could not have imagined. It literally knocked me out. I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist. I was in a hurry at the time but I quickly noticed that body heat does not harm the musk, quite the opposite. Besides the fact that the scent develops and changes so beautifully, the sakura easily stayed on the skin for 2 to 3 hours longer than it usually does, thanks to the oil. Nice side effect.
The change that a fragrance goes through thanks to Musc is unimaginable. The same evening I met an acquaintance who owns Sakura herself and did not recognize the scent on me. She just wanted to know what I was wearing. I felt the same way.
I was curious to see how the other fragrances in the in-house collection would change once I layered them in the same way. And it was thanks to this thought process that I discovered the true strength of the Elixir that finally convinced me to buy it.
There was almost no fragrance in the range that did not have a distinctly more valuable smell and durability. A small 3ml large secret weapon, whose use of the smallest quantities is enough to achieve enormous effects.
Musc is extremely simple, but makes other things surprisingly complex.
Nice!
