A Fresher Alien EDP

When I first tested on the paper, it was more like citrus and woody floral. I liked it but was not impressed. Then I accidently got a sample, and I must say it's much better on skin because the vanilla base was missing on the paper.

I can pick out jasmin, tea, lemon, vanilla and patchouli notes. I didn't have grape/bubblegum like some previous reviews. The first hour reminds me of Alien EDP mainly because of rather intensive jasmin, but they smell absolutely different. After 3 or 4 hours it makes me think of Kenzo Amour maybe due to woody-vanilla base. Overall it's a powdery-sweet scent balanced with citrus and woody notes. It's not too sweet and kind of fresh. The drydown vanilla blended with tea and other woody notes is very comforting. It's sensual and still fresh. The sillage is close to skin and the longevity is about 7 or 8h.

Sultry Sweet Sticky Bubble Gum

The Elixir version of Ange ou Démon Le Secret immediately brought to mind bubblegum, but not the childish pleasure of a yummy fresh piece of gum still in the wrapper. Rather, this conjures up a piece of gum that is quickly warming up in the mouth as the juicy artificial flavors are being rapidly released onto the palate along with a heavy dose of magical high fructose corn syrup. The type of bubblegum is a particular brand of individually wrapped candy I see in the US, rarely, except for around particularly around Halloween; has a distinctive Sasparilla (originally made from a blend Smilax regelii plant extract, birch oils and sassafras)- benzoin complex sort of like root beer flavoring, but here it is just a hint compared to the true rootbeer fragrances, such as Aqua Di Parma's "Mandorlo". That being said, this fragrance is not for those who shy away from sweet fragrances, like myself. This is also not an office appropriate fragrance for anyone, because it is totally distracting. This is one of those "Head Turner" fragrances for a night out on the town dancing with friends and anytime it's appropriate to yell "Keep Those Appletinis Coming!". It's the kind of bubblegum scent that smells better mixed with secondhand smoke, sweaty skin and desire. It is sweet sultry seduction in a bottle. As it dries down I get a clear image of Olivia Newton John Circa 1979 in 'Xanadu', sporting mini dolphin shirts and roller skates and all. Likewise, I imagine that this is what Blondie wished she smelled like while singing 'Heart of Glass' with her insanely metallic red glossy lip, feathered hair and the spandex clad 'Solid Gold Dancers' in the background, back in the 80s. If these references don't resonate, I apologize, I'm outdated, but this fragrance is definitely not...it's a bold, sweet, strong and naughty modern interpretation of a youthful bubblegum fantasy.
