Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir

It's the first time I'm trying it on my skin and I find it sweet,delightful,luxurious,classy,seductive,charming and feminine in a mature way If you're not into sweet scents it's not for you.it opens sweet with fruit notes/black berry and becomes even more syrupy sweet as it dries down thanks to the boozy vanilla and caramel.but there's enough florals to give it a mature,ladylike vibe and a hint of patchouli,sandalwood and rum to give it depth It's not a childish candy but a sensual delicious confection I can't compare it with original jeu d'amour because I've just tried that one on paper but elixir version seems to be less floral, warmer,sweeter,a tad darker and all in all more likable for me,so I chose it over original and I think I'm gonna use it alot in these fall and winter nights It's an hour I've applied it and it's just as strong as first minute.it seems to have a good sillage(which is more important for me than Longevity) I really like this one Edit: After a couple of full wears I can say that I'm very glad with my purchase,not anything ground breaking but still it's delicious,sexy and classy. and I may repurchase it whenever my 50 mil tester bottle finishes.it's rich,seductive and delicious.I'm loving this lovely combination of black berry,caramel, tuberose and boozy vanilla, so deep and sweet and stays easily on my skin for +8 hours with a good projection.it smells just like the color of bottle If you're a gourmand lover and you're +25 give it a try P.s:I agree about similarities with signorina misteriosa but this one has more syrupy/caramelized sweetness and is a tad richer,all in all I prefer Kenzo but I may consider buying ferragamo instead of repurchasing kenzo just to experience a new one It also reminds me of Loewe Quizas Seduction which I love but that one is a lot more floral/tuberose dominant ❤❤❤❤ از اونجا ک کنزو ژوغ د امور رو فقط روی بلاتر تست کردم نمیتونم مقایسه دقیقی بین اون و ورژن الکسیر انجام بدم فقط چیزی ک من بطور کلی حس کردم این بود ک الکسیر کمتر گلی هست همینطور گرمتر،شیرین،کمی تیره تر و درکل برای من دوست داشتنی تر و درضمن بیشتر مناسب فصل سرماست، بهمین خاطر بین این دوتا ژوغ د امور الکسیر رو درحال حاضر انتخاب کردم(هرچند هنوز چشمم دنبال ژوغ د امور اولیه هم هست) کنزو ژوغ د امور الکسیر یه عطر گرم و شیرینه پس اگه دوستدار عطرهای شیرین نیستید بعیده بپسندینش.. شروع عطر با رایحه شیرین و غلیظ توت سیاه همراهه ک رایحه غالب عطر هست و تا آخر عمر عطر حضور داره، این عطر به تدریج با حضور کارامل و وانیل آغشته به رام،شیرینتر هم میشه منتها به لطف مریم ک بعنوان امضای ژوغ د امور تو قلب عطر حضور داره،رایحه خانومانه ای به خودش میگیره..پچولی و صندل و رام(عرق نیشکر)تو بیس عطر فقط نقش عمیقتر و غنی تر کردن عطر رو بعهده دارن وگرنه بازیگر اصلی رو پوست من شراب توت سیاه هست با شیرینی غلیظ و شربت مانند کارامل و مقدار خیلی ناچیزی روایح خامه ای و نرم گلی و چوبی..رایحه کاملا خوشمزه ای داره ک به هیچ وجه بچگونه نیست.کاملا شیک و زنانه و جذابه و اگه دوستدار عطرهای خوشمزه هستید و بالای 25 سال دارید و دنبال یه گزینه بالغ،ژوغ د امور الکسیر انتخاب خوبی میتونه باشه موندگاری بالای 8 ساعت و پخش خوبی داره و بعنوان عطر مجلسی و قرارهای عصرانه و شبانه عالیه راجع ب شباهتش ب سینیورینا میستریوزا هم موافقم ولی شیرینی کنزو چسبناکتر و کاراملی تر هست و درمجموع من این عطر کنزو رو به همتای فراگاموی خودش ترجیح میدم درمجموع بااینکه عطر خاصی نیست خیلی دوسش دارم

It smells great.I agree smell like bottle's color.very dark purple.because biggest thing I can smell is black berry.smells like a dessert if blackberry jam and cream with a glass of expensive sweet wine in a very fancy restaurant that the gentleman who loves you take you there for night and acts with you like you are a queen.this is perfume of a sexy queen not a princess girl.I can smell blackberry jam,syrupy and a little tart but more sweet and dark purple,very small shot of wine in the beginning.then tuberose and Jasmine that are like white cream mix with blackberry syrup and very small amount of patchouli.I agree this is very sexy and very fancy and feminine.it's very sweet in beginning but them sweetness is less intense and less sharp.I can't smell any orange or vanilla.longevity is very good but I have a sillage problem.when I smell the place of my body that I sprayed this I see that it's still very strong.but when I'm out I can't smell it around me.but actually my friends say after you go out of a room we can smell it for long time.so maybe it's sillage is good too.it's a warm perfume not good for summer 9/10 موافقم عطری هست که به رنگ شیشه ان هست.بنفش پررنگ چون بیشترین چیزی که می شود حس کرد بلک بری هست.مثل دسری هست از مارمالاد بلک بری و خامه و یک گیلاس شراب گرون قیمت تو یه رستوران فنسی با جنتلمتی که شما رو شب بذده انجا و نثل یه ملکه باهاتون رفتار میکنه.این عطر هم برای یک ملکه سکسی هست نه یک شازده خانوم کوچولو.اولش بوی ترش و شیرین مارمالاد بلک بری و یه شات کوچیک شراب را میشه حس کرد اما بعد یاس و مریم بویی شبیه خامه سفید ایجاد می کنن و شدت شیرینی عطر کمتر میشه بعد هم مقدار کمی نعنای هندی.من هیچ پرتقال یا وانیلی حس نمی کنم.این عطر خیلی خیلی خوشبو و جذاب هست.ماندگاری خیلی خوبی هم دارد اما مشکل پخش دارد.هرموقع جایی که عطر زدم را بو می کنم می بینم هنوز بویی کاملا قوی و مشخص دارد ولی وقتی بیرون هستم اصلا حس نمی کنم بوی عطر از من برخاسته.ولی دوستانم میگن که حتی وقتی از جایی بیرون میری تا مدتعا رد عطرت پیداست پخش شاید پخشش هم کم نباشه.این عطر گرم و شیرین هست و اصلا مناسب تابستان نیست ۹/۱۰

In love with this , it's a sweet warm vanilla blackberry scent , tuberose does smell quite nice in here and dominant and I don't mind it at all. Caramel , rum and mandarine is also detectable and it all goes so well together that I can't get enough of it. It manages to smell fresh ! Sweet fresh ! The patchouli is there but stubble , just enough to keep it earthy and grounded. Complete winner ! I bought this on my trip to Aruba and I can't find it here in Canada yet. I hope it gets here soon as I am half way done my bottle ! My husband loves it , he says it reminds him of poison. In fact he thought I was wearing poison when I wear this. This is definitely the same family and similar notes as poison but it's more modern and fresher with no incense. I prefer it to poison !

Amazing sweetly citrus berry boozy vanilla. I love this sort of scent - gourmands are on high rotation with me at the moment. Earthy smooth patchouli and sandalwood keeps this grounded and from being too girly and sweet. This is a high quality vanilla based fragrance with moderate projection and longevity. It's perfect for both evening and everyday wear, and the combo of fruit and vanilla means I can wear this year round. I do think this is a little more feminine than most of my other gourmands, but it would work as a masculine fragrance as well. I don't get a lot of floral which is odd as I'm very sensitive to too much tuberose. Overall - very well blended and balanced and a happy blind buy. If you like gourmands, you'll love this.

This is beautiful and I regret not getting a backup when I still could! It’s really sexy and seductive. I really like the juicy sweet blackberry note in the opening, then turns sweet creamy with the jasmine and tuberose. I really love this on the slightly colder days and it’s pretty potent. It lasts pretty long, especially on fabric, which at least givers me extra time to enjoy this beauty. Oh how I wish they would bring this back 🙏🏽

I just got a sample of this beautiful perfume, and so it is, very, very beautiful!!! The berries are there, and the caramell and vanilla, and the drydown is so stunningly good, wow and wow!!! I think this perfume is perfect for everybody who loves berries, caramell and vanilla, 10/10 :))

I blind buyed this and dont regret, lots of rum with patchouli an tuberouse. Georgeous and delicious

I blind bought it on a sale. First impressions: it's kinda average, it starts sharp I smell the blackberry immediately, but in a few minutes it settles down to a really nice fragrance that is warm and less sharp ( I loved the sharpness tho). I would love it to stay that way, it's really interesting, but in an hour it starts to smell like vanilla (that is pretty average, not like the vanilla in Si intense the black bottle which was just gorgeous for instance) and that's the only thing I can smell. If there's vanilla in a scent pretty soon it overcomes everything else and you can only smell only the vanilla on me, it's like this with every fragrance. So I got a good first hour- it's a really nice sharp and warm at the same time scent, than it settles down to vanilla as a skin scent and I could smell it on my wrist in the morning as well. If it smelled like the first hour the entire time I would say it's an exceptional perfume, but it doesn't. I wouldn't buy this if it's not on sale, it's too expensive for a skin scent. If I can get a strong scent from a perfume for 6 hours at least I'm happy. I don't like very feminine scents, I like perfumes that stand out and have a good (strong) sillage. I'm an Euphoria fan and I'm very happy with it. As a conclusion; I don't recommend buying this if it's not on sale, it's warm and nice, but a skin scent (unless you like it being this way) it's average, it kinda smell like many other perfumes. While it's still sharp and kinda sweet/warm (so the first hour) It reminds me a little bit of YSL Black Opium. I would say just buy Black Opium, or if you're a fan of Black Opium try this one as well, maybe you'll like it, but Black Opium has a better performance I think.

Fruity white floral. Sugary warm vanilla base. Only had it on ten minutes, and so far it does smell a bit ‘purple’ fruity, and floral, I can smell both the tuberose (a bit bubble gummy) and jasmine (a bit heady). It’s more floral than frutiy. Edit: dries to a sugary warm vanilla, very nice, not synthetic, but definitely designer when compared to the rum present in modern day niche fragrances (ie no rum here!) Edit: tried it again, and it’s now very, very, Berry. More tart berry than floral, and hardly any vanilla or caramel or anything other than a slight sweetness.

I sprayed it accidentally on my hand today, when i wanted to spray it on the test strip. On me, it is a warm, rich and powdery caramel, with a intensive berry opening. Not my thing, because i don't like caramel and i also don't like berries, but i have to say the caramel note is superbly done here. Caramel fans will surely love this fragrance. Berry fans will also like this, but keep in mind that the berry note here is intense but short lived. I would recommend this scent to someone who is looking for a dark but warm fragrance, and to people who like powder.

Blind Buy - This is fruity, sweet and pleasant but it’s nothing to write home about. That’s not to say I don’t like it, it’s just very simple and straightforward. Nothing magical or groundbreaking. It starts off with a sharp, tart rush of blackberry but quickly mellows out to a sweet, deep berry. I don’t get a distinct caramel not so much as just an over all indiscernible sweetness. It’s nice though, and I enjoy it. I think this would be best suited for colder months as the berry is quite deep, it doesn’t strike me as a fresh or summery scent at all.

Tried now, winter Similar to Black opium by YSL Jeu d'armour elixir by kenzo, but this flower is louder. The FLOWER elixir in red bottle I mean. I am juicy by juicy couture Paco rabanne xs - but paco I get a soft sugar bomb, and that is supposed to have cocoa etc This is quieter than the others I've listed. It's got s delicious juicy opening, the accords look right, it's like a direct relative of those other sweet, juicy, vanillary ones. All fab, but you don't really need them all.

And when I thought Kenzo can't really make gourmands, here comes this fragrance. Opening with dark and prominet blackberry followed by very present caramel. The drydown doesn't change it much if you ask me. I get some vanilla, unfortunately I can't detect rum, and some floral notes in the background, I wish jasmine would be more prominent here. Sweet, warm, comforting. It's not like I would get a bottle myself, but I have to pay Kenzo some respect for this one. To me solid 7/10.

Wow, this is a beautiful scent. Soft, warm, sweet and floral, well composed. Reminds me of homemade berry jam. I can sense blackberry, vanilla and floral notes like tuberose that gives a good balance to the sweet notes. I have liked everything Amour by Kenzo so far and this is not an exception. This is really sweet, seductive, sexy scent, a love potion, just as advertised. Natural smelling, even in it's sweetness.

The opening of this reminds me of Escada's Magnetism. Tart berries mixed with something green, patchouli in this case. Whereas Magnetism had patch, basil, cassis and green leaves. I do pick up on a hint of citrus and florals. Sweet and tart without being cloying/candy-like. Pleasant, but nothing ground-breaking. Having owned Magnetism for several years I think I've done by dash in this department.

This perfume came out the year that gourmands were all the rage, and it does feel a little imitative. It reminds me of Jimmy Choo, but over-done. It's sweet and powdery and comfortingly nice, but it's not unique. I'll wear this in the foody season around October/November, but then I put it away for winter in favor of more unique, sophisticated scents. Fine, but I won't buy another bottle.

Mmmmm blackberry, like a nice sweet blackberry shampoo. It's not heavy and sacharin sweet like Misteriosa, more like Tresor Midnight Rose but change the raspberry to blackberry. A bit sour and tart, would be sparkling to wear in the morning. Reminds me of a doll from my childhood. 6.5/10

What a sexy, deep, night perfume! I like this one so much, it smells very provocative and womanly. It's heavy on tuberose and gourmie notes. Sillage and longevity are great. The color of the bottle is hypnotic. This perfume is a proof that tuberose can be sexy.

This is an evening perfume, a bit too heavy for the day. It is very warm and sweet to me. I do smell plenty of patchouli and vanilla and something fruity, but I can't define this fruity as a blackberry, to me it is more like orange...

June7rose: depends on chemistry but on me this was pure caramel and blackberry underlined with vanilla. None of the other notes would step up on me. Actually very lovely fragrance. Definitely gourmand, not fruitchouli.
