Quite good
Quite an interesting fresh, sweet-sea aroma. Coconut water with vanilla, sugar and sea breeze. Amber Elixir Crystal has the warm amber characteristic of the series, but the remaining notes make Crystal more summery, beachy, slightly tropical. On the other hand, it is only a seemingly light scent and is far from being a typical summer perfume.
The beginning is very watery, there is a slightly salty, seaside atmosphere with a hint of grapefruit and amber, which immediately brings to mind the classic Amber Elixir. Associations with the cold, harsh Baltic Sea are strong. Then there's some orange blossom and violet mixed with cumin - quite a strange combination. Cumin adds a herbal, slightly spicy flavor to Crystal. Over time, thanks to the coconut, the scent becomes more and more creamy, sometimes it is a bit bland. However, there is no trace of the slight saltiness from the opening when vanilla and sugar join the base. Amber Elixir Crystal remains in the marine and aquatic climate, but is heavily sweetened.
The beginning is clearly unisex, but over time, as the fragrance becomes more and more sweet, it leans more towards feminine areas. This is intensified by the creamy coconut, which gives Amber Elixir Crystal the atmosphere of tanning cosmetics at times. However, there is a lot of masculine element here.
There's something about it, it smells a bit of the Baltic Sea in September. On the one hand, these are marine, cold, raw perfumes, but at the same time sweet, creamy, warm and amber, they are also slightly floral and herbal. They will develop slightly differently at different times of the year.
Unfortunately, durability is not the best, the scent lasts about 4 hours, in this respect it is clearly weaker than the rest of the series. The projection is rather small, close to the skin.
The bottle is beautiful. Both its shape and turquoise color are impressive and will be a beautiful decoration on the shelf. Perfume stains blue, so be careful when wearing light-colored clothes.
The composition itself is good, but the parameters could be better.

If you want to be sweet on warm days,… and of course, delicious as always :D
Hm,… it’s been a long time since I tested Amber Elixir by Oriflame. Back then, it was the “Night” scent. Unfortunately, I can hardly remember the fragrance, but I do recall that I liked it quite a bit at the time.

The Night was a winter fragrance back then, while this one could definitely be used on warmer days. It may not be fresh, but it’s also not overwhelmingly heavy. So, if you’re looking for something sweet for warmer days, you might want to take a look here.

The scent:
This lovely fragrance starts with neroli, grapefruit, and amber. I also detect a distinct sugary note. However, all the sweet notes have been trimmed to be light and airy, so despite their pronounced sweetness, they don’t come across as too heavy or overwhelming (considering the warm days). Aquatic notes are added (but not salty, maritime notes), making the air feel more summery.
I also smell a light floral note, which initially seems like jasmine due to the sweet scents, but it must be the violets.
The cumin could prove to be bothersome, but it’s so weak that you can only smell it, if at all, by pressing your nose to the sprayed area.
Later, vanilla joins in, along with a bit of coconut, although the latter is unfortunately a bit subdued. Nevertheless, the fragrance remains sweet (likely also due to the sugar), which smells a bit more intense in the later base, with a large share of neroli. By the way, the amber is really noticeable only in the base.
The later base continues to be sweet or sweeter and a bit heavier, but I think the fragrance could still be worn on warm days. A few floral notes are added as well.
Hm, Crystal has become a beautiful scent.

The sillage and longevity:
The projection is okay, not too high due to summer, but still reasonably detectable nearby.
The longevity is at least eight hours, which I find quite good.

The bottle:
The bottle is actually the same as that of Elixir Night, just in turquoise instead of black. This means the bottle is cylindrical and ribbed. The bottom side of the cap is gold-plated and cylindrical. The main part of the cap is a disc that is transparent turquoise at the edge and ribbed like the bottle. The top side is gold-plated, featuring wave-like patterns and the name of the fragrance. A very beautiful bottle!

As mentioned, Crystal has become a lovely scent. If you’re looking for a sweet fragrance for summer, you must test this one. Because, as described, it doesn’t smell too heavy despite its sweet notes (even if it’s not as light as it was at the beginning). Since I don’t find it overwhelming, it could be used year-round.

I think this fragrance has a great effect on others. The sweet notes surely make a lady appear sweet herself, somehow sexy,… and what do I always say… what was that word again?? Ah yes: So delicious that it makes your mouth water and your stomach start to growl :D Well,… almost anyway :D
I also find it nice that it feels like a vacation in beautiful, hot places. The coconut could belong to various drinks or cocktails (and could have been a bit stronger) and the sweetness sometimes gives the feeling of holding an ice cream cone (like scoops of ice cream in a cone).

Since it works so well, it’s also great for going out, whether for a relaxed walk or for partying (whether “indoors” or especially at open-air festivals), it’s sure to be well received, similar to the Alien fragrances and similar perfumes.

I would definitely test it if I were a girl :DD

A rather lukewarm daydream on the Caribbean beach...
Amber in petrol green? I perceive amber as a "warm" fragrance note - and now in combination with aquatic notes? The new scent from Oriflame piqued my curiosity. I already have the other two versions of "Amber Elixir," both pleasant but neither heavy nor typically amber scents, suitable for daytime on rather cold days. The cylindrical, ribbed bottles are quite nice to look at. The perfumes from the Oriflame brand unfortunately seem to last poorly on me, but since they are available for little money, I made another blind purchase here.

Anyone expecting something resinous or dark - despite the petrol-colored bottle - would surely be disappointed! I notice nothing of amber. The aquatic notes are only noticeable for a short time after spraying. Otherwise, "Amber Elixir Crystal" is primarily a floral-sweet scent. I perceive the orange blossom most distinctly. The sweetness is nicely contributed by the base notes, while the coconut milk does not push itself to the forefront.

As feared, it is again rather lightweight with only slight longevity on my skin. A nice scent, but I prefer the two siblings more. With a bit more power, the combination of fragrance notes - aquatic, orange blossom, and coconut - could conjure the illusion of a Caribbean beach... but there are really other calibers for that. Well, for a brief daydream in the dreary office routine, it might just do.

Fruity, aquatic daytime scent for coconut lovers - it could be melon. Not overpowering, a bit too sweet.

Does no one else smell melon? I smell melon, orange blossom, a hint of black cumin, and sweet vanilla. A touch of vacation.

Orange blossoms float on an aquatic vanilla-coconut sea
- an interesting, unusual short getaway even without amber
