i honestly have no clue why anyone is classifying this elixir by itself. it does have a slight scent but is really only detectable when used as a layering scent. and it doesn‘t really match paris for him anyway. it just adds a woody accord which is out of place and although it doesn‘t make the scent unusual or bad in any sense, it does not help. this works REALLY well with seemann intense however, it turns a vivid nautical breeze into the smell of the docks minus the fish.

i bought this for around 150 US dollars due to tariffs, but it was worth it for me. the bottle, as always, is a little annoying to use, but nice quality and unbreakable. it is a deep blue and looks really nice. upon the first spray, i got some very sharp lemon and pineapple in a seamless blend that smells like those lemon candies we had as kids. pepper is in the background, and patchouli is not strong but adds an earthy balance and some amount of freshness. as it develops on the skin, it mellows into 2 soft fruit notes, that‘s it. i love it, it does have that summer teen vibe as another user mentioned, but it also has a sophisticated enough profile to be really versatile and usable year-round. while some say it‘s not as exciting, it definitely captures the youth and energy of both the song frühling in paris, and the concerts in paris. although it was very pricy for me, overall worth it, the elixir works better with my other perfumes though

spring/summer fragrance because i needed a few more lol. since most of my fragrances are fall/winter, i needed something more to prepare for summer. i went to bath and body works and, despite the ridiculous amount of disgustingly sweet candles burning, i could somewhat smell this. it is clean, musky and fresh, but dark. not a light blue fragrance, like a deep dark aquatic. it smells like the color navy. i love graphite from them too, i might buy ocean or freshwater next. thanks BBW!

a unique one, now. never smelled this, it smells odd when it is bought vintage. to me, on the first sniff, it smelled good. zesty, aquatic, fresh. now, it smells like sunscreen for some reason :/ thats ok, i bought it to display, not use. unsure how it smelled originally. i also bought it in a mini bottle from the 80s that only holds 5ml, it might have been expired

I love this fragrance, starts out with gasoline and rubbing alcohol, along with other unique notes. i imagine a person hitting the gas hard on a motorcycle, burning their tires and the asphalt as they pass. as this smell radiates, it meets a plum tree, drying out and dropping each fruit to the ground. from the other direction comes the aroma of a freshly chopped birch tree, tar and all, beside a dark musk, providing a divine sweetness and woody musk. this perfume is masculinity in a bottle. dark, but fresh (countered by a toxic industrial fume) and smells legitimately poisonous. in a spicy but warm way, there is a deathly embrace, like the contents of the needle in rammstein‘s song adiós
