Gives the feeling of refreshment and energy
Black Panther is a rather simple and linear fragrance, but not everything has to be complex. The fragrance still offers its wearer a fantastic experience.

The fragrance starts with an explosion of rich and luxurious citrus that calms down after a while, then a dominant and very realistic grapefruit note takes over. This is a very soft and luxurious grapefruit-dominant juice that lasts a long time. The ambroxan is also very subtle and gentle and in no way comparable to the brute, intrusive implementation in Sauvage or Office For Men.

I have tested both Tygar and Arrakis and have come to the conclusion that in my personal ranking Black Panther and Tygar are equal. Arrakis can not keep up, unfortunately. The scent of Alexandria Fragrances is in no way inferior to the great Bvlgari model and is about 95% identical - even the beautiful opening note is identical in both fragrances, Black Panther has even extended it. If you still use the price as a decision criterion, then Black Panther wins the comparison almost unrivaled.

It is definitely a fragrance that attracts the attention of others without being intrusive. It is very versatile and can be worn in all situations and seasons in my opinion. Likewise, it is suitable as a signature scent.

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
