Norell Elixir Norell 2016

Very large packaging and my first thought was a shake of the head - that's not possible. A gold nougat carton. I open the top lid and chocolate brown silk lining comes out, then you tilt the front "door" over and you are completely caught by the sight. Wow, embedded in this fine shiny chocolate silk lining thrones a bottle that is so beautiful that I miss the words. In the back wall of the carton is a mirror integrated so that the bottle reflects itself and has thereby its completely large appearance. As from another century, a polished glass stopper (acrylic) is visible, which ends at a golden fine chain band closure and is stuck in a heavy square bottle. A perfect perfume bottle. Even if this beautifully scented perfume is empty, you have to keep it completely. I find the scent very round and yes I choose the word perfect. Tuberose and patchouli, oh ha fits? And how it harmonizes. The fragrance is not a pungent or angular moody diva, but a melody tuned to the finest nuances. It develops body-hugging, warm, noble-sensual, like crackling chocolate coloured wild silk on soft skin. Sandalwood and jasmine give it a special almost fresh component but in the sense of the fragrance to take a little of the dark. This performance will be remembered for a long time, you always want to have it. A treasure for a very special person. After two hours there is a fine trace of dark woody vanilla patchouli of tuberose and jasmine on my skin, somehow a little bit of everything but very beautifully composed. Rarely have I seen and sniffed something so beautiful.
