In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotElixir by Alurent is a Citrus Gourmand fragrance for women and men. Elixir was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Will Claren. Top notes are Bergamot, Orange and Lime; middle notes are Cardamom, Red Apple, Cucumber and Melon; base notes are Amber, Rosemary, Patchouli and Agarwood (Oud).
Reviews →Riviera opens with a sharp burst of bergamot and peppermint paired with crisp black pepper. As the top notes fade, sea notes and cypress emerge alongside green rosemary and lavender to build a breezy marine heart. The base settles into dry cedarwood, vetiver, and subtle oak. It works best during warm spring and summer…
