SWEET TEMPTATION

Sweet Temptation from the Haute Luxury Niche Perfumery Maison Parfums d'Elmar of Switzerland is an Oriental Amber Woody Spiced Balsamic Fragrance Extract Shared; it was launched in 2018 and the perfumer who signs this fragrance is Mark Buxton.

The perfume starts with ginger that adds its brightness to a beautiful bouquet of jasmine which is still sweetened by a delicious orange to make salivate; one of the best notes of orange I have ever felt.

Blends balms and spices, intertwined with styrax and saffron resins, followed by a soft and sensual woody amber base of benzoin and vanilla.

Ends heated by noble woods and a light sprinkled of an incensed 'oud with a slightly resinous fragrance counterbalancing the initial fruity citrus chord.

Oriental perfume, amber, spicy, woody, resinous and balsamic; a semi-gourmand flirting with the smoky without becoming in fact, warm fragrance, sweet, rich and soft.

Delicious Perfume From Water On The Mouth. Exceptional Quality, With Good Performance.
Certainly Among the Favorites Of The Collection!

Complex and beautiful

I can honestly say this was the biggest surprise for me from the line. Originally I really enjoyed this and elixir d'amour ( favouring slightly elixir d'amour ) however after a month of use i'm now starting to understand and appreciate this scent so much more than I ever thought I would, it's definitely a grower that needs time. Imagine a very sweet, smooth, almost airy creamyness mixed with resins that isn't overpowering in any way. I easily got 12+ hours on skin with amazing sillage and medium projection. The blending here is so good that the evolution in scent profile is all incredibly natural. Best scent ( as well as elixir d'amour ) i've smelled in 2020 and in all fairness probably of all time!

Caramel Candies.....

The first spray is scratchy, herbal, viscous, tolu balsam? The perfumes I know that contain it: Youth Dew or Dolce Amalfi are extremely impressive. Sweet Temptation strikes me the same way.

With saffron, ginger, cinnamon, and orange, I think of Christmas baking. Far from it: rather bitter, dark green spicy with a splash of freshness.

With this complex list of ingredients and formula, my nose is occasionally overwhelmed. It is not a heavy scent, but it changes multiple times.

Then the heart note sets in, creamy, buttery, caramel-like, soft. The longevity is out of this world, about 10 hours. A little tolu balsam wafts up repeatedly. This makes the scent extraordinary.

The sweet temptation and delicious sweeties on the table. At that price, I’d rather reach for calorie bombs.
Looking at the ingredients, €10 for a milliliter is not justified at all. Somehow, the church has to stay in the village.
Even if the scent is completely newly crafted when it is sold out, that does not justify this amount.
Nonetheless, I find the scent mysterious and tasteful, one that everyone should experience on their wrist.
