Signature Elixir

I had the chance to test Montblanc’s Signature Elixir last week, in El Corte Ingles, during a trip in Malaga and I was instantly impressed. It’s not the type of scent I would wear in a 35 Celsius degrees heat, but I gave it a try anyway, being a big fan of original Signature. First of all, it’s nothing like the original or the Absolue Signature, so not really the original line DNA with a small twist. It’s an entirely new scent, with a dark, rich, warm, ambery facets, in a vibrant red bottle, the kind of colour that matches the juice inside. Signature Elixir is a sweet, warm, cozy, floral, vanilla scent at core with a more sophisticated allure. I like it a lot, but I have decided to purchase other fragrances from my wish list, because...limited space in the luggage. If you shop a lot during holidays, you know what I mean. For a brand new release, it wasn’t priced too bad, it was around 100 euros per 90 ml bottle! Obviously not the cheapie, like OG Signature is, but it had good longevity on the blotter, more of a moderate radiance in the air and the presentation is great. Really nice release, different than the others in the line, but not a groundbreaking perfume. More of a spring and fall scent, it’s a bit richer, sweet, deeper than something I would like to wear during summer months.

I bought this after smelling it in the duty free store. It's exactly what everyone says: a deeper, thicker Version of Montblanc signature. It has the same marble like texture to it but more complex. It feels to me like traditional Montblanc signature is a white pearl and this is a black pearl, it's amazing, sweeter than the og. I really feel vanilla and orchid, creamy and deep, darker. No leather at all. They're right. Don't buy both red and white bottles: pick one, they're similar enough. Love love love. UPDATE LONG WEAR: it lasts surprisingly long. It's almost gourmand, that's how delicious it is. I definitely feel spices working to balance the vanilla and loads of amber. Literally one of the best of the best.

Here we go: tested it yesterday at Mont Blanc store, and yes definitely VERY similar to the Original Signature white bottle, is redundant to have both, but as I'm back up crazy I would take this instead the white just to have kind back up, and also I prefer this red transparent beautiful bottle. ❤️ I've been smelling this on stores all the time when I find, and is addictive, very smooth and cream. I fell in love with this😍

I wanted this to be very similar to the Signature fragrance because I just love it so much :) and it’s exactly how I wanted it to be!! It’s literally a sexier, deeper version of the white bottle. I think it will depend on how much you love the other one! For me, it was love at first sniff!! The only bad thing is that it doesn't last much. :(

Why did they add a leather note that wasn’t there first? I just received it and no leather in sight lmaoo : very pretty strawberry (i swear it’s there and as a proeminent note) mixed with creamy vanilla & musk.Veryy similar in a way to armani si passione red musk! I adore this scent. An amazing ambery fruity-floral release
