Tresor Midnight Rose Elixir D’Orient

I’m someone who can’t wear the original Midnight Rose, while pretty, it’s just too sweet without anything to counter it. It becomes super cloying on me. The added woody elements in Elixir d’Orient makes all the difference for me. The oud style which may give it a “stinky” effect for some is exactly what makes the perfume for me. I have 4 samples of the original Midnight Rose and didn’t even finish the first one, while I bought a back up bottle of this one. It all depends on your personal preferences but if you found Midnight Rose to just be too sickeningly sweet, give this one a try because while still very sweet, the other notes counter it and make it more wearable for me personally. As a matter of fact I find it drop dead gorgeous! In the same way Flowerbomb is just “okay” to me and Flowerbomb Rose Explosion is breathtaking. I love a middle eastern twist. I just prefer my sweet stuff with a heavier base to balance it out. Beautiful fragrance as is the bottle. Glad I have two!!

Tested this today. It's very similar to Midnight Rose (if I'm perfectly honest I couldn't really notice any difference when I initially applied it). It's very long-lasting and is clearly made from high-quality ingredients. If you like Midnight Rose, you're bound to like this one. Black currant and raspberry are very prominent. The oud is soft and so subtle that it's barely detectable, although it becomes more pronounced in the dry down. The oud adds a little extra richness and depth to the original fragrance. EDIT: The next morning I can still smell this on my skin and the paper strip I sprayed it on smells divine! When I run out of my bottle of Midnight Rose I'll definitely buy the Elxir D'Orient version instead.

I finally got 10 ml from this wonderful and special perfume. I can't put it in words how much I love this. It's so deep and rich, excellent for a cold winter night. I wear it on special occasions (in theatre, in a restaurant..etc.) I can smell blackcurrant at first and then rose and oud. It's a pity that it's not available in my country, so it's a bit difficult to get.

This has to be one of the sexiest scents I’ve ever smelled and SUPER strong! Fantastic blend of notes that makes it smell VERY expensive. I can’t wear this close to my face though as it will make me feel headachy and nauseous after a while, but applied lower on the body it’s absolutely divine.
