Mixed emotions
Elixir, so is called the new offshoot of the Dior box office hit "Sauvage".
When rummaging in the souk I came across an offered sharing, without having previously known about the appearance of the fragrance. The adrenaline and serotonin committee have been in the non-measurable range when discovering. Thoughts like, "another Flanker, must be that", overtook me.
Despite the lack of euphoria, I let me on the offered Sharing to look closer.
Now the question arose why a horrendous sum was entered in the price per ml. After I noticed the comment of the provider that the bottle is purchased with voucher reduced, I was again animated to think.
The fact that here 2.23 € per ml are required, let me from the anfäglichen disinterest slowly pass to curiosity. The curiosity, as Dior for a designer perfume Nichenpreise can require, but vorallem whereby this price may well justify itself.
After brief consideration and hesitation, I decided then but to participate in the sharing.
Since the Sharing was already, as not to be expected differently, strongly frequented, reached me my filling also already short time thereafter.
One of the possibly last sunny days of this year with pleasant temperature.
A good day to subject Elixir to an oxidation on their own skin.
The procedure, by now always the same, a sprayer, yes you heard right, only one on the left crook of the arm. If a sprayer does not manage to inspire me, then it will the second and third usually also not.
It was almost clear to me that the basic DNA is maintained. So I adjusted to me already familiar fragrance image. As is usual with most siblings, there was a similarity. - And just as with siblings also, were to be recognized apart from the similarity also different characters.
A grapefruit clone from the lab quickly made itself known. Said but only briefly "Hello" and then evaporated again. A, for me, slightly peppery, spicy note made itself now slowly wide.
The first impression was limited. Somehow different, but still the same.
I paid no attention to the whole first time, because I had to go to work. Thanks to the weather, which allowed me to be out of the house in the polo shirt, reached me during the car ride permanently the Elixir fragrance cloud. Thus, it was fully present again and I just thought to myself, what projection can spring from a sprayer. Remarkable!
Now it is more a mixture of lavender and vetiver in the foreground, with light nutmeg appendix.
I somehow still could not get excited about this elixir. And if it is an elixir, what should it do?
To the polo shirt it actually wears quite well, I thought to myself when I arrived at work. With a suit certainly also good to use.
I ran up and down the hallway and always through my own fragrance cloud, I then the projection was a bit too much. A little too much, because as with any other Sauvage also, there was here the typical concomitant called Ambroxan.
Ambrox and I know each other for a long time, but can not smell each other well.
Now this is where the mixed feelings come into play....
The stinging, so penned. "Why again should I spend 2,23€ per ml?" - If it is around the circumference 7m fragrance balloons that one carries around and the, with 10h to book, hardness will, no thank you.
Admittedly, one has given effort here Elixir from the already existing Sauvage versions to stand out. So much so that one is even taken off and now Hollywood prices for a fragrance demands, which is so lala.
To put it casually, lukewarm compared to those fragrances that I can acquire at prices not more deviant.
The Sauvage fanatics among you will probably already sharpen the knives, but if I had to weigh what price I am willing to pay, 134, - € for 60ml aristocratic mediocrity or your hostility, so see what is written here. ;)

The tame house cat
I don't think the name is really the program here.
I simply bought the scent blindly and did not have to regret it.
Although the composition and appearance of the bottle pointed in a different direction, I was pleasantly surprised by this extremely sociable tiger. A subject already urban tiger, which has got used to the contact with people.
I do not perceive the scent as animalistic. The oud is also hardly or not at all perceptible for me.
In the beginning it is rather the bitter orange that is in the foreground, but after 5 minutes it recedes benignly into the background.
Now a slightly wicked and elegant woody-creamy aura appears. Iris and leather slightly dominate here, without the iris bringing in any powderiness.
In the beginning I was a bit sceptical, before the scent arrived, if it wouldn't become an Oud-Rose combo again, where you can't smell anything else. But, somehow, fortunately, I can barely see the rose here myself.
Everything seems well rounded and harmonized with each other, except for the bitter orange mentioned at the beginning, which makes the fragrance for me a pleasure only after 5 minutes.
What then remains on the skin after 7-8 hours is a soft bed of fragrant woods with a touch of cream
Sillage is Montale typically room filling at first go.
Only the flacons are and remain a disaster.
I've had deodorant bottles that looked better. Well, so be it. The content is what counts and it is really charming.
On cold days his potential really comes into its own, as I had to realize
