Dolcelisir L'Erbolario 2010

Dolce Elisir - the concept of the elixir of life has been a legendary concept for centuries.
This mythical potion, is famous for granting immortality or restoring people’s youth.

But, while the idea of a real elixir may be nothing more than a fable, there are certain things in life that can make us feel truly alive and happy...

For me, Dolce Elisir it's this: a magic fragrance that has the ability to make me feel happy and uplift my spirit.

The atmosphere that creates it's like a sweet liquor, thanks to the powerful and heady combination of rum and floreal notes that immediately stand out.
As the fragrance settles, it reveals an array of delightful and comforting notes such as vanilla, cocoa, almond, caramel and among others.

In the background, a little touch of benzoin, amber and tonka bean helps the fragrance to stay longer on the skin, but without making it too strong or too cloying.

Also, what is truly remarkable about this fragrance is that it defies categorization; it's not a boozy scent or even a gourmand (despite its marketing).

Finally, on certain moments, it reminds me fragrances like CK One Shock for Him or some commercials fragrances like "1 Million (Eau de Toilette) | Paco Rabanne".

So, in my opinion, It’s a perfect unisex fragrance (maybe not a performance monster) but deserves to be known and appreciated, like a rare and precious “Elixir” :-)

P.S. After many years of being discontinued, Erbolario decided to bring back Dolce Elisir as a limited edition fragrance. I highly recommend you to try it!
