J'Aime Elixir

What a lovely fragrance,I find this one very powdery and chic,not a cheap baby powder at all,I feel it is just made for me,sweet but not too sweet,there is a lovely,yummy soft caramel but as melly helly said it does not cover the rest of the blend,there is lovely smelling florals including rose but it's not a rosy perfume,there is spices and citrus notes completly in right amount to make the blend tastey and charming,there is also something that makes the scent special and antique,maybe moss,something nostalgic for me,something very expensive smelling and reminding past,old years but don't misunderstand me,this is definitly a modern scent with a great longevity

When just sprayed, J'Aime Elixir smells just like another fragrance inspired by Flowerbomb/LVEB/Fatale, but with time it gets a little more similar to the regular J'Aime, which is a good thing. I don't get why patchouli is not listed because it's certainly there.

Davvero un'ottima fragranza: legnosa, avvolgente, dolce nel giusto grado. Una versione più matura del predecessore "J'aime", rispetto al quale manca della componente fruttata iniziale.

Another Italian here! How many Italians on Fragrantica? I tried it today and liked this one on the spot. Not easy for me, especially with new fragrances. I'm not sure it's worthy a purchase at the moment, but it's definetely something I could wear and enjoy. I would like to know the name of the perfumer. In the opening it is a little bit of a mess but less than 30 minutes later it makes sense. It was interesting to try it on my skin and not just on paper. I don't write down my opinion about a perfume if I don't test it on myself. I smell a little sparkling combo of bergamot and black pepper and mandarine is faint. Honestly all notes are quite blended in, so I had to read them here in the notes list. So it orris and heliotrope... good to know. I love heliotrope, but I doubt there is any real heliotrope (with real heliotropine!) here. I think it's one of the forbidden one nowadays. Same applies to Moss. Both heliotropine and oakmoss have a beautiful effect on my mood. La Perla J'aime Elixir is not that powerful but it's definetely a pleasant smell, a little sweet and quite elegant in its modernity. I smell it quite faint if you don't give more than 1 spray, but my bf's nose said: "It's sweet and a little invadent, but not bad" From him it is almost a compliment. The caramel here is not cloying IMo and doesn't cover the rest of the blend, otherwise I would not have liked it, as I don't generally like sweet and candy smells. Not very projecting but longlasting.

I have Fatale AP. Fatale is stronger, sweeter, smokier, fruitier and lasts longer on my skin (7-8 hours) than this. The advantage of Elixir over Fatale is I can wear Elixir at work and it's half the price of Fatale in my place (13 usd to Fatale's 21 usd). Elixir's 5 hour lifespan on my skin isn't too bad.

It is too sticky sweet for me, maybe it is the caramel notes, or there is something else not listed here on - I can get a scent of almost a black cherry, mixed with a very subtle vanilla-chocolate.. it is interesting, but not nearly as expected, and on my skin the wear down is very mossy and very sticky... but I could never see myself wearing it during the day, it is just too pungent. Perhaps I need to let the bottle sit for a few months - or perhaps it just does not work for my skin chemistry although the notes listed certainly seemed appealing and typically work well to my nose.

Not bad, but not interesting enough sweet caramel fruity floral fragrance.
