Hypnôse Hypnotizing Elixir

As a fan of the original Hypnose and even more of the sheer edition Eau Legère I couldn't help but purchase this treasure. I couldn't really appreciate this elisir from the beginning because it was too warm for me so I learned how to use it, only a few drops on my wrists and no spray under my neck. Being aware that this perfume is really powerful you can really enjoy it and wear it proudly. One thing that makes me really curious about it is of course the real olfactory pyramid, as it's not listed here. Being a flanker of Hypnose I guess it contains vanilla, much vanilla, and the sharp note of vetiver, both of them being quite prominent. I'm also quite sure there must be some jasmine and some other white flower like maybe gardenia and they are responsible of the the "warm" feeling I get from Hypnotizing Elixir. I'm not sure the passion flower is present in this flanker. The sillage and longevity are great, definitely a winter perfum, very elegant and perfect at any age, very romantic and powerful, it's a real love potion! I'm so glad to have this treasure!

I recieved this one today morning. Definitely hypnotizing! As many others say, it is deeper than the original version, more of a winter scent than a spring or summer one. Very delicate. As it is elixir de parfum, on my skin it develops slower than the original Hypnose. Still testing the lasting power. Creators seem to have removed the bubble-gummish smell from this one ( in my country, we say this, because one nuace of the scent reminds us of a gum, which we used to chew in our childhood. It was a bubble gum, whith the picture of Donald Duck on it's wrapping paper XD) So the scent is well-balanced, more woodsy than Hypnose, and I can't smell as much vanilla, as in the original. For me, Hypnose is more floral, this one is an "earth" scent. Unfortunately, as it is early spring and already hot in my country, it can't develop very well. Funny to say, but I can't wait for winter to wear her with all her hypnotizing power :D Update: the lasting power is amazing. I can't even wash off the scent!!

This is what I expected the original to smell like. When I tried the original I was surprised that it was so... "in your face", with very little breathing room in the composition. The pale blue liquid and the name suggested that it would be a calmer fragrance to me. Then again, we have Angel... I currently have the original in the right crook of my arm and this flanker in the left crook of my arm. The original is sharp, invigorating, passionate (hello passion flower, I recognize you from a shower gel I used last year). This flanker is a calm, blue ocean, I smell it and I sense nothing but an undisturbed horizon where the differing blue shades of the sky and sea meet, from ice blue to teal to cobalt. Note however that this fragrance is not "aquatic" in the least, it is a very abstract, figurative landscape, like from a parallel dimension. Truly hypnotic. I have smelled nothing like it. Love.

This is the most edible perfume ever. I get note of almond paste used for icing on cakes and cookies. The drydown smells like dark chocolate mixed with white flowerson me, sometimes dark choclate dominate, the other times the white flowers, as they were playing hide&seek.. The longevity is awsome. Sillage is good the first few hours. You only need some sprays to enter the Blue Magic Land ♥♥♥

Fantastic stuff. Heaven! This is heaven! So much better than the original one, a marvelous blend of vanilla, kind of almondy, based in a smooth and creamy hint of vetiver. Masterpiece!
