Fruity Warm Winter Sun
The angular basic shape of the transparent bottle conveys exactly what the fragrance means to me: strong and feminine, determined, straightforward, elegant, and yet with a certain lightness and sexiness; I believe the word grace describes it perfectly. Golden Elixir is not heavy in the sense of being overwhelming, rather intense with an initially slightly cheerful fruity note; I can clearly smell grapefruit. Over time, the fragrance becomes warmer, with white flowers, noble Arabian jasmine, and magnolia becoming discernible, until it reaches its goal in the soft-spicy phase with subtle vanilla, patchouli, and amber. An absolute feel-good scent that captures the warming rays of the winter sun on crisp cold days and releases them in pleasant doses.

The longevity is definitely better than the Zen, but the scent character has little in common with the original. What a shame.

Zen garden surprises with fruit. Patch & Musc create a humanoid, pleasant aura. A smiling scent. #LuxuryOfSerenity

Intensely jasmine-heavy, it hits the nose. Over time, it becomes more pleasant, softer, and fruity. Jasmine remains dominant. Not really my thing.
