Euphoria Bold Elixir

Wow. Just wow. It was love at first sight. I've been trying this perfume for a month now and I have experienced nothing buy greatness. From the bottle it smells so sweet, borderline coying but once you spray it on and it relax—It's just because. Light, sweet, floral and mature with a good projection too. It was supposed to be a replacement for my Good Girl because the project wasn't enough but this one is just fantastic. 3 sprays is enough and will last you (more specifically the fabric) for dayssss. It can go up to 2-5 days and sometimes I don't even want to spray it cause the lingering scent still remains strong. This is an absolute yes for me and anyone who loves powerful and sweet scents that don't feel cheap or childish

The negative reviews this new trio receives continues to surprise me! Scent is highly subjective, of course, but all 3 perfumes are pretty damn great to my nose. Definitely try them out yourself before writing them off. ;) Bold is my favorite out of the 3 and aptly named! It's dark and sensual, unlike the other 2 perfumes in this line which are more easy going. I'm *maybe* detecting a hint of pineapple during the opening, but Bold is predominately a jasmine-forward vanilla done exceptionally well. I'm honestly shocked by how good it is and will purchase a FB when my travel size runs out. If you like DBIR Intense, Alien Goddess Intense, Alien Extraintense, Angel Intense, The Only One Intense, etc. you will likely LOVE Bold!

This might be the sexiest perfume I've ever smelled...? It smells like what it would feel like to meet up with your lover/wife/whatever and finding them in a thin satin nightgown in a dark, velvety bedroom with lots and lots and LOTS of candles. The vanilla and jasmine notes are so intensely cooperative for once thanks to that more dry caskiness of the oak, and it really just drives home the exact imagery of the shimmering silk of the box art for this line. These new euphoria additions are just fucking awesome, and even the weakest one (magnetic) is still pleasant even if very very safe and mediocre.

Careful wearing this at night, it may cause the people of your preferred gender to flock to you like seagulls to an abandoned hoagie. Good lord, the smokey, toasty vanilla is amazing. I usually get tired of jasmine and vanilla but them together in this? Incredible. Smells like the song MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT by Elley Duhé. Smells like walking past the most beautiful woman ever and she's holding a bouquet of Orchids and wearing a black velvet dress. Smells like street racing a souped up mustang. If you wear this, you instantly feel 10 times sexier and prettier.

Desp fragrance is seriously the best thing I have smelled in a really long time. It is insanely beautiful and it smells familiar. But I can't put my finger on it, but it just smells so good. And it's such good quality. I sprayed it on my shirt, and it still smells really good.It has the original scent to it.But there's something mature and deeper.But not old school mature, but I love it.I'm definitely gonna buy it

It smells very familiar, yet like everyone else says in the comments, I cannot place what it is. So, it’s nostalgic at least. And it does not smell like the patchouli forward fragrances others have compared it to. It’s very sweet and the vanilla shines more and more as it dries down. Overall it’s a very feminine, pretty, easy reach- though not unique. Some day we may all figure out what it is similar to, haha.

Lots of pineapple... So much... Mango, coconut, and a good dose of vanilla!!! In the dry-down—and only in the dry-down—you catch a hint of woodiness alongside the smoky orchid, which is wonderful. Sensual!! Calvin Klein really nailed the performance... It projects beautifully and lasts a full day on the skin! Then again, that’s what you’d expect from a *parfum* ❤️

Really lovely scent. This is very different from my usual vibe (I like pure vanilla and marzipan scents) as it’s so floral but I adored it. Made me feel sexy wearing it! Two sprays is enough, it says staying power. Went through a sample size and would love the full size, wish it wasn’t so pricey.

This is just splendid. I love the mysterious vibes it gives. Very similar too original Euphoria just less sharp. A sultry vanilla jasmine scent. A long time since I smelled a seductive evening scent. Such simple notes, but it just works. Dark feminine.

This is my favorite out of the 2 new Euphoria Elixir perfumes. To my nose I get a deep "nighttime" vanilla with Born in Roma Extradose vibes. Anyone? Not only my favorite out of the 3 Elixirs, but one of my favorites in my entire collection.

It smells exactly how Addict CD used to smell back in 2002 year when came out.Very very similar.I love it.Great projection and very long lasting

the feeling of complete safety and comfort of being pulled into a cigarette mom's warm, soft chest. warm, dark, non-gourmand vanilla <3

Beautiful scent! Calls to mind ambrosia made with marshmallows, pineapple, coconut and mandarin oranges! Yum!

This is what the dior addict the purple one should of been not the mess it is

Calvin Klein dominated the fragrance scene in the 90s and Euphoria is very nostalgic to me. When I saw the release of three flankers, I was excited. I don't know Rosalia (face of the campaign) and I was intrigued that these fragrances would be an intense version with 28% perfume concentration. I bought a small Bold Elixir blindly. My honest review : the opening is white, sweet floral with slightly fruity undertone. Followed by a slightly powdery fantasy orchid note. Both head and heart blend beautifully on my skin. The vanilla is certainly a supporting actor here, giving depth and substance to the entire composition. It does remind me on expensive fabric softener. Taking all into consideration it is a beautiful creation. To me it feels well rounded and I think this could be a crowd pleaser. With that said : It's not performe as advertised . It's not intense to me. It's not even bold. It's dense for the lack of better words. This scent radiated at an arms lengths at best. It does leave a beautiful scent trail, yet it's faint. Longevity is average up to 6 hours. The overall performance is mediocre. Euphoria Bold elixir is a beatifully composed fragrance and very likable. But if you're looking for a standout or a signature - it's not this. But if you're looking for a daily and versatile fragrance , I think this will suit you. The release price of these three is atrocious. About 75€ for 30ml is way too overpriced and you could get better perfumes tbh. I spend 50€ with coupons. Try before buy.

Magnetic, sensual florals lie at the heart of this composition. The jasmine is luminous and pure, free from any suffocating facets, while the orchid is sweet and intoxicating. Vanilla adds just enough sweetness to make the fragrance more seductive without ever drifting into gourmand territory. Although it radiates a dense, evening aura, it remains an easy-to-wear mainstream fragrance. I would even go so far as to call it a safe gift for a bold, energetic woman. The sillage is strong at first, though it settles into a skin scent relatively quickly. On fabric, the fragrance remains perceptible for most of the day. The beautiful violet tones of the flacon resonate perfectly with the nature of the fragrance. A worthy addition to the Euphoria family.

It smells like a lip balm my mum used to use/i used to nick when I was 5 years old and I can't quite remember what lip balm it was. This fragrance is very nostalgic for that reason - smells like early 2000s make up in the best way possible and has this edible vibe (it's probs what combining vanilla with orchid does, and also because i used to like eating that lip balm as a kid 😭) i like it, and it actually lasts! I can smell it on my clothes 2-3 days later and the sillage the first 20 hrs is impressive - i can smell it on my mum as soon as I enter a room she is in, but in a light way - this has no iris in it but it gives off that vibe with the way it projects but up close it is more juicy and sweet

Smells like Pina colada to me, has a creaminess almost like body lotion in the back. I like it, smells unique and has the same scent bubble as on skin up close. Definitely a spring/summer fragrance. I don’t think it’s a crowd pleaser so test before buying. After wearing it more times, I find it very strong and too sweet for me. I like perfumes with a spice and this fills the air around me with a dense sweetness I cannot take. I love the smell on other people tho, it’s polarising.

It’s a smoky, woody fragrance with sweet and floral facets. Right from the first spray, you can clearly smell that smoky wood - almost roasted - blended with jasmine and a sweet vanilla note. I liked it quite a bit, probably because of that smoky, woody, roasted character that I’m especially fond of. To me, it’s the best of the three new releases - the most sensual and the most alluring. Edit: I now perceive a distinct pineapple note🤔

It has very exotic start. I feel passion fruit, mango and pineapple. It dries down similar to Divine by Gaultier - canned pineapple. Strong, for a date and free time only. It does have an echo of classical Euphoria, maybe the abstract orchid accord. It is indeed the boldest of the trio. Skin test in Douglas. It has strong sillage and lasts well into next day.

With the name "bold"... I wish it were bolder... A nice floral vanilla; subtly unique. Try it if you mostly wear light floral scents, the smokiness will stand out more, and compliment your collection.

Got a tester from a CK package, tried it on paper. It's pretty strong, kinda smells like an orchid air freshener. Ok day scent for women.

I think it smell exactly like Alien-Goddess.If you like a strong jasmine and vanilla, this is the one.

Second favourite from the three, definitely the heaviest and most cold weather, good for date nights.

A prominent jasmine paired with freshly cut oakwood. The fragrance has a soft sweetness, with hints of powdery vanilla running through it. It’s a bit tricky, because on the skin it develops into something much softer and creamier, while on clothing it opens with a noticeably synthetic, almost harsh start that I find quite unpleasant. It lacks elegance. Calvin Klein just doesn’t really compare to more premium fragrances in that regard.

Travel set of Bold, Magnetic and Solar Elixirs. I'm a Euphoria fan for the most part but this time I was disappointed. Bold was my middle choice in this set but the extra puff of powder with the unappealing jasmine didn't give off a bold vibe for me. Sour old lady..but not as bad as my third choice in this set (Solar). I'm hoping these need to sit awhile otherwise I wouldn't bother re wearing them.

i dont find this similar at all to the original. Euphoria was known to be one of the more unique designer perfumes - very unisex, woody, clean, mysterious and sexy. Very unique creation which lacked the sweetness or freshness of most designer scents, special in its own way. I dont understand why they are trying to ruin the Euphoria line instead of releasing new perfumes.

It has Samsara like accord among other less amiable notes. Maybe that's what is giving it familiar vibes, like an Addict, Code profile. I like the top and the base notes; middle not so much. But keep in mind that I generally have hard time with modern vanilla woody fragrances

It's an intriguing scent, it grows on you. At first it smells strange but now I kinda like it. I would wear this on a fancy night out, wearing a slinky dress

Very sensual, from the new 3 definitely a nightime scent. Reminds me of sth but I can't put my nose on it

Smells close to Kayali Vanilla 28, but Vanilla 28 smells better.

Gosh it stinks!!! 😩🦨 I had tested several perfumes and 1 of them was horrible to my nose. I was determined to find out which one was it, so today I tested them again with their names in papers. It was that. Based on the notes, I should love it, idk what went so wrong with it. Same with the pink one, which is sour, but this one...0/10 especially for the drydown. Easily the worst perfume I've smelled the last decade or more! 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Very nice summery uplifting bold and unexpectedly seducing scent! I need to re-test it though.

Thank you @bunnyboots I‘m glad someone thinks the same as me! Idk what it is but this really does smell like Pina Colada!! It’s the third time I’m testing this and it somehow smells what I imagine Solar Elixir would smell like. It’s a coconut creaminess with a floral mango. And it’s pretty cold from I guess the jasmine? (Which is pretty light) I’m also not such a coconut lover in fragrance because it’s often made wrong/clogging but this is chefs kiss without even being listed. The best thing is- it’s actually really strong and lasts. I woke up and put the hoodie on from yesterday and while making me food I just a blast of it though I only sprayed once on my hand. I really wasn’t expecting to like this since the og isn’t something I’m that familiar with but I kinda really want this. -M206

Well... bold in what sense? Bold as in heavy? Then yes, it's definitely bold. The note pyramid doesn't look particularly gourmand, but the drydown turns into a dense, sweet gourmand. If you're into the current gourmand trend, you'll probably enjoy this - and likely the other Euphoria flankers as well. For me, though, it's a no. It smells like another generic sweet gourmand. I suppose it could work as a dark, goth-inspired winter scent, but I definitely wouldn't wear it in the summer. Then again, I probably wouldn't wear it at all.

Sephora gave me a sample of it while as was shopping, and I’m grateful for it. I love the smell, it smells quite different than expected. A beautiful combination of vanilla and florals. Floral notes on this feels addictive. If this fragrance was a color it would definetly be purple like its bottle. I want the full size of this perfume asap!! Love it. It’s a deep scent for sure.

Will never forget the thrill of being a teenager and getting the Euphoria Natalia Vodianova was the face of. Is it the same for teens nowadays, when seeing Rosalia? Is her image enough to make these new Euphorias feel luxurious? New? Why buy CK when you have Avon?

This composition might not be so courageous as the name suggests, however, this is a felicitous combination of orchid and its fruit - vanilla, supported by deep, grounding oak and majestic jasmine. This is a very good choice for a magical night out.

i have an unopened 30ml bottle of this i got, but when i smelled the collection in store i ended up liking the Solar elixir a lot, and the magnetic elixir second. looking to swap my bottle !! Nj/tristate area irl swap preferred

Really gorgeous mysterious scent, this isn’t strictly a women’s perfume on my eyes as it smells so sexy on my boyfriend; the vanilla offers a gentle sweetness that makes quite a brooding floral perfume a little more friendly.

Unfortunately I didn’t like this it smelled ok on paper but on my skin all I got was sharp pineapple , the dry down was better it softened up a bit -but it just isn’t for me

Reminds me of something and I can't put my nose on it. Smells like a luxury green floral hand cream mixed with sunscreen

I tried the pink Euphoria and this one yesterday on paper and I think I like this one more. Bold indeed.
