In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Shakira Elixir is an amber floral fragrance that breaks away from typical sugary sweet celebrity perfumes. Sonia Constant blends warm peach and black pepper with a deep resinous base. It suits budget conscious buyers seeking a cozy, spicy option for chilly autumn nights.

Lorev by Once is a striking floral fragrance that leans into a bold, white floral heart. Launched in 2021, it opens with a sharp burst of peach and peony before settling into a creamy, tuberose-heavy composition. It is a versatile choice for anyone who enjoys high-presence floral scents during spring or fall.
