This truly is phenomenal!
Intoxicating! This and sweet temptation are absolutely amazing scents. It's very much a resinous semi fruity floral that settles into a beautiful creamy / caramel base. It's hard to describe in words except for that its more than worth the price tag! It's always a toss up between this and sweet temptation for me, they both have an amazing transformation in scent profile the more time goes by but dare I say I'm slightly starting to prefer Elixir d'amour, very very hard to pick a favourite though.

Elixir d’Amour
And here we have a magic elixir .
A wonderful Oud, not the protagonist but which I feel (particularly in the opening), initially surrounded by saffron and fresh notes, and then by a wonderful bouquet of white flowers.
That tangible, true, physical passion which however has many other beautiful feelings around it, is the protagonist but accompanied by all the other beautiful sensations it becomes even more divine.
Fantastic, unisex and something hypnotic for Oud lovers.

A fragrance that tries to depict the great love
Rose-Oud fragrances are now like sand by the sea. Mostly, these predominantly oriental perfumes are oppressive heavy and can one with wrong dosage just choke off the air.

With "Elixir d'Amour" by Parfums d'Elmar this is different - here only the price provides a brief moment of breathlessness.

But what you get in return for your investment is enduringly impressive. I find that Mark Buxton has succeeded with "Elixir d'Amour" a fantastic fragrance experience, which brings together so many flavors and fragrances so sophisticated that it is difficult to even begin to put this olfactory journey into words.

To title the perfume as a "love potion" is daring, as it raises great expectations. Whether the fragrance is also justified these, we want to explore now together:

We already get a first impression in the top note, in which direction our olfactory journey could go. The seductive, slightly sweet and at the same time spicy-warm components spray pure elegance and class. The gentle rose remains all the time in the background and lays like a veil around the other fragrance notes.

It is the floral chords of lily of the valley and water jasmine, which bring their delicate aromas and together with the raspberry form the heart note. The now clearly perceptible guaiac wood proves to be the ideal fixer due to its slightly violet-like quality. This interplay is really successful and testifies to very great craftsmanship.

The base is carried by wonderfully soft oud, which reveals a fine and slightly sweet character, before musk and amber take control and unfold their beguiling effect. To the sensual completion of the overall composition finally provide vanilla and caramel.

The extrait has a perfume oil concentration of 35%, which means that Elixir d'Amour accompanies you throughout the day.

It is such a delicate, soulful fragrance that evokes a variety of different emotions. Just a fragrance that tries to capture and depict the great or eternal love: Elegant, soulful, magical

Love in a bottle
I've had my eye on Elixir d'Amour for a while because I really liked the scent pyramid.
When I finally sprayed it on the test strip in the Delfi perfumery, however, I was totally disappointed: transparent floral, with a slightly sweet and sour raspberry and the oud at most in the background, just ok, but not at all what I was expecting. I asked for a small bottling anyway, just to give it another chance on my skin at the weekend.
The following Saturday, the time had come, I took the small bottle from my shelf and applied it to my skin.
I put my nose to my wrist and immediately the fragrance seemed much denser, spicier and more complex on my skin, but above all I got a beautiful bright balsamic oud note from the start, which is enveloped by white flowers, saffron, a juicy raspberry and subtle pepper, plus a red rose that vibrates lightly in the background.
After about 3 hours, the fragrance becomes softer and softer and at the same time it gets a slightly dirty/earthy note to the balsamic oud (perhaps patchouli) and gets a really biting caramel accord. In the drydown, it gets a nice creaminess from the musk and vanilla.
It lasts 14H+ on me and projects strongly for the first 5/6 hours (no beastmode)then it slowly gets closer and closer to the skin.

Conclusion: I am really glad that I gave this fragrance another chance.
It's a 10/10 for me and really can't be compared to any other rose oud fragrance.
My love potion.

Please test it on your skin.

Elexir of love
My boyfriend bought this incredibly beautiful fragrance last month.

I also wanted to give the fragrance a chance, it's a unisex fragrance, so why not?

i think that anyone can wear any fragrance anyway, as long as it harmonizes with the person.

what I like best about the fragrance is that it smells completely different on me than on my boyfriend. On my skin it really smells like extremely light oud, no cow stalloud but really just a beautiful warm woody note, on this base the fragrance is then enveloped in noble saffron and hundreds of roses, which makes it simply a dream for me.

With my boyfriend, I rather have the feeling that the fragrance is a little spicier and woodier, but subsides in the drydown and radiates a warming sweetness.

Durability and sillage are really great, especially on clothes.

Rather feminine, rose and raspberry very dominant. Oud is delicate but still noticeable and brings some depth. Exclusive and valuable

The scent is so well-blended, so smoothly, that it is impossible to discern the notes. Elixir d'Amour is fruity, floral, spicy, woody, musky
