Perfect Elixir Marc Jacobs 2024

Yes, strangely enough, coconut is not listed in the fragrance pyramid, but it is clearly, if not most clearly, perceptible, surrounded by sweet vanilla. In my opinion, the fragrance progression is also relatively linear, which in this case does not detract from the fragrance itself. Quite the opposite: it is precisely because it is linear that it is so beautiful. There may be some light woods in the background, but they are so subtle that they are almost imperceptible. I had been looking for a fragrance reminiscent of Virgin Colada for some time. There were, among others
Alien Goddess Eau de Parfum with a refreshing but more sun cream-like coconut note. A fragrance that I don't think is bad at all, but which also doesn't reflect the Kolada concept as intended
Leisure in Paradise with a clear pineapple note, but it's too alcoholic and makes me feel nauseous, etc.
I searched from designer to niche and finally came across this fragrance here. At first I thought that I would probably come across the same old, same old, but when I tested the fragrance first on the test strip and then on my skin, it really surprised me. Yes, coconut and virgin colada are perhaps more suited to summer, but I'm one of those people who love this all year round. What's more, the present coconut note is made suitable for winter by the gentle vanilla. The longevity and sillage are unfortunately rather mediocre, but you can't go far wrong with 3-4 sprays.
My tip: simply spray it on and transport yourself to a wellness vacation on the beach. Yes, it's not one of my Best of Sweet to be honest, but it's certainly a nice addition to my fragrance collection. Give it a chance, even if you don't like the brand's fragrances: this is the only one I've liked so far.
