Elixir d'Amour by Parfums d'Elmar is a dense woody amber fragrance built around an unexpected contrast. The first spray hits with sharp green fig leaf and sparkling bergamot before warming into dark sweetness. Bulgarian rose and tart raspberry quickly emerge, tangled with smoky guaiac wood. Beneath that lush fruit and floral core lies a rich foundation of agarwood, gooey caramel, warm amber, and earthy patchouli. It is potent, dark, and noticeably sweet. The perfume wears like a tailored velvet evening coat. Because of its intense 35 percent oil concentration, two light sprays create a lingering bubble that easily lasts from late afternoon dinner well into the early morning hours. Show less
