Perfect Elixir
On my skin it is a beautiful woody perfume with vanilla and the sweetness of plum and rhubarb. In the distance there are flowers that remind me of the first perfume from this line. Of all the new releases lately, I'm most impressed with this one.
In my opinion, this perfume is completely unisex and easy for a man to wear.
I am a seasonal person and will wear this in the fall and winter.

Sweet spice, perfect for fall
I bought this perfume last fall after smelling it in Sephora. It's a really gorgeous perfume for that time of year -- sweet, spicy, and still a little fresh.

The only thing is, it's a bit too sweet. Right now, I'd give it an 8/10. If it was just a touch less sweet, it'd probably be a 9/10.

Amber is a tricky note for me, but here I don't mind it at all.

I wasn't sure how I liked it at first -- it was pleasant, but I thought it might be too syrupy. I wore it a lot last fall but then during winter I kind of forgot about it. It's April now, but April in the Canadian Prairies -- so we got a huge dump of snow last night. I put this on last night and remembered why I actually really like this perfume.

I don't think I'll buy a full bottle when my travel size runs out -- again, it's just a little bit too sweet -- but I do think this is a pleasant perfume for fall or winter.

Sweetness with a hint of dustiness
At first, the scent is enveloped in sweetness with a hint of dustiness, slightly cloying yet still intriguing in its first impression. Then it becomes more subdued and softly gourmand, settling into a smoother and more enjoyable phase. The dry down is very pleasant, leaving a gentle, comforting trail that feels warm and quietly appealing.

The perfume smells exactly as it looks on the outside
A gorgeous perfume both on the outside and inside! It smells exactly like the bottle looks. It's sweet but in a way that makes you want it. It has good persistence and moderate sheen. It's feminine and can be worn anytime and anywhere, especially in the cold season. I'm surprised it doesn't have reviews on this site. I give it a big YES. I received its miniature in an advent calendar as a gift with a larger purchase from Sephora. I bought its sample from Notino. I used the sample once and it didn't impress me at the time, and once with the miniature and I liked it much more after. From what I see on Notino (where this site sends me), its price in large quantities is a fair one. Rating: 9.5/10

A fragrance made just for me
Ah.....how could I ever manage without you. Until now, I have avoided Marc Jacobs because my last bottle was unfortunately a dud. Perfect, beautiful but poor longevity/sillage. By now, I am no longer an oversprayer, but how quickly this bottle ran out was quite annoying. Let's get to the perfect elixir. Often, we consumers are misled by the words intense or elixir, fueling the hope of owning our favorite scent in a much stronger form. We all know that this is not the case... of course, there are exceptions. But now to the beautiful lilac-colored elixir. I sense a creaminess in my nose. The original elixir is to be guessed. Most clearly, I perceive amber, vanilla, a bit of rhubarb, and this creaminess (resins) in the opening. A creaminess like in Molton Brown Milk Musk. Please don't think of something sticky because of the honey and resins! If anything, it is dark floral honey, and now the orange blossom comes into play. Okay, Mr. Jacobs, you have won back a new, old fan. Because with this, the designer has proven that I am not just paying for the name and a playful bottle. Well, the elixir must find its way into my collection. Somehow, I also perceive a subtle perfect coconut note. Actually, I can't rate this less than a 10!

I get the vanilla but the fruity notes are lost to me, the amber is there with slight floralness. Good scent, fancy even.

I love the plum nite… but it fades within the first couple of hours.

Very sweet/ creamy with an overly present white florals (orange blossom). The Rhubarb is more into a greenish type. Not my fave...

Aggressively sweet, indistinctly fruity. Honey and patchouli. Smells bad for my teeth. Has a "dust from dirty city streets" aftertaste.

Wow, for a Marc Jacobs fragrance, this one is quite a heavyweight. It starts off sweet, but the rhubarb really balances it out...

Very autumn-to-winter honey sweetness on a figgy to coconut-like base, which has air thanks to dark orange blossom.

Starts intensely aromatic and fruity, the base is velvety, warm, and subtly spicy
in my opinion, mature and the best in the line... so far

Unlike the EdP. I don't smell rhubarb, but the plum dominates. It gains a nice depth in the dry down. A rich autumn-winter scent.
