Amber Elixir

Well done Oriflame! I just wish all your perfumes had the quality of Amber Elixir (and its black bottled flanker). Unlike other Oriflame fragrances, Amber Elixir is an eau de parfum, so if you generally ever decide to purchase any Oriflame fragrance make sure it's an eau de pafrum; they are actually perfumes, that have no problem competing with high end perfumes. This is a masterpiece. The lasting power of it (well at least on me) is...until I wash. Yes, it stains,it will stain your hair, your clothes,on your pillow, on your skin, anywhere you spritz it, it will linger for ever. Sillage is insane, almost everyone that i talk to is wondering what is that smell; some seem very interested and like it, some seem confused and rub their noses. Well not everyone is going to like it. It's heavy, deep, strong, sultry and erotic, oriental. Right off the bat this is a winter scent, not even autumn, WINTER, it's so hot, it might be unbearable to wear it on hot days. But you never know, if someone likes it so much, there really isn't any restriction, i love to reek of it so i spray it everywhere, a head turner most definitely. The pyramid is so true to what i smell. This happens rarely with perfume. I have had and have high end perfumes and still some notes are ''not there'', but this abides by its pyramide. First spray is fruity! Delicious fruits, not the ''edible type ones'' but refined; for this reason gourmand perfume lover won't like it, it's not a foody fragrance despite the fruits. Citrus first and then the grapes. You will smell this combo for some hours. I was baffled initially, like ''where is the amber i was promised?''. You have to wait for it to develop, it takes it hours! And the fruits won't really really fade, they will be there just in the background. After three hours(?) i start sniffing something vanillic, of course it's the heliotropin, so not sweet, so pleasant and warm. It pairs nicely with almonds and stays like that, until peony pops up, one hour later(?). Peony will stand out until sandalwood takes over and then it's the drydown: sandalwood, amber and musk. On me it's more woody than ambery, but that's just body chemistry, sandalwood is a favorite so i don't mind at all. The blend is so juicy and lovely. The bottle is also vintagey, i remember my grandma's cosmetics and they all had a pattern similar of this perfume's packaging If ambrosia had a scent, it would be this.

When I first sprayed it smelled like I had sprayed myself with a shot amaretto liquor. Then after about 5 minutes it starts to morph into a lovely almondy sweet amber and the sandalwood begins to come forward and tease you a little. The grapes, oranges and blackcurrants are not really distinguishable in themselves but wrap themselves around the almonds to sweeten them and compliment the sweet, smokey amber scent. The final dry down is when the musk, sandalwood and heliotrope become more prominent but the sweet almond and amber still remain. This is an amazing multi-faceted and sexy fragrance. Personally I don’t think this smells remotely like Hypnotic Poison but if you’re like me and you’re a worshiper of Hypnotic Poison and know that there is never going to be a perfume that copies it but would like to find something a bit less expensive to wear to the office but still gives you that warm exotic sexiness, then I have no doubt that you will enjoy this scent. I have to say that this perfume out-performs a lot of the much more expensive brands out there. Longevity on me is about 6-7 hours Silage is about 4 feet for the first 2-3 hours, then about 2 feet for a couple of more hours dying down for about 12 inches for the last couple of hours.

Amber Elixir is a great choice if Hypnotic Poison is your cuppa :-) It opens with fruity notes of blackcurrant and grapes and soon turns into a sensual mixture of creamy heliotrope and bitter sweet almonds. The drydown does not come soon, so you need a dose of patience to wait for amber and sandalwood to emerge and make you fall in love with the fragrance. Amber Elixir possesses all the notes I would die for; it is also a deep, sexy and sensual fragrance; great for a hot night for two. I love the fragrance sparkling with almond and amber; it makes me feel confident and boosts my sex appeal :-) It lasts and lasts so no need to reapply every 3 hours! The silage is also more than decent; it is detectable by people around you for a good 5 hours. The flacon is a work of art and I am planning to buy another few bottles before it becomes impossible to find. I agree with the window above; Amber Elixir shares many similarities with IsaBella and Hypnotic Poison; it has that unusual deep, rich, sensual, almost dark feel to it. A marvel. Full stop.

I expected something heavier and sweeter, a resinous and almost smoky, honeyed amber, but this is nothing like that. It is creamy and bright and more complex than I thought. The fruits here are refreshing and vibrant, uplifting and rather tart, unlike the sharp aggressive sweetness or modern fruity florals. They are juicy and never cloying, a huge surprise. Then comes the lovely almondy part, rich and smooth and creamy. By the time it reaches the amber and sandalwood phase it goes quite weak on my skin, so I will have to apply more sprays to enjoy it even more. Not a heavy hitter but very loveable, mild and embracing. It reminds me to a berries-almond cheesecake. Best for autumn+ winter but might be enjoyable almost year-round.

i would like to thank Orchidlover for the pretty 4 ml bottle she gifted me :) it was always in front of my eyes but i never gave it a try .. i dunt know why but i was foolish-y expected an amber bomb burst with some floral notes !!! warm , sexy , sweet balanced between oriental and modernity ,with a fair long lasting on my skin. it remind me with Versace Crystal Noir which i adore ..the same sillage but this one dried down more oriental less sweet than CN. its a high brand body butter mixed with soft warm eastern spices . amazing bottle matches perfectly the juice inside . i would love to get the whole set perfume, body cream , body spray and the roll on . another PERFECT hit by Oriflame ! 8.5/10

This was my favorite choice for work for a while. My friend complimented me on the scent and asked what it was, but when I brought the bottle to work and showed it to her, it turned out she didn't like it as much as I did on me after a few hours of wearing it. The initial scent might be too overwhelming for some, but it's perfect for me. After a few hours, it settles on the skin and, with my skin chemistry, creates something wonderful: warm, sweet, almond, and powdery. I love this scent. It's very long-lasting and feminine.

A classic, warm composition—smooth, enveloping, and classically elegant. The notes are well blended, forming primarily a warm veil that settles creamy on the skin. On fabric, it lingers for several hours; the sillage is unobtrusive, yet throughout the day it subtly reminds you, prompting the thought, “what smells so lovely here?” A very successful and well-constructed fragrance, offering excellent quality for the price. Highly recommended.

I just love Amber Elixir, one of my absolute favorites from Oriflame. It is elegant and classy yet warm and inviting. The amber has a soft sweetness to it -from the fruits and an unlisted vanilla note, as well as a gentle powdery accord from the florals and almond. The woods and musk add to the depth and sensuousness of the amber in the base. I find it a lovely and very well balanced amber great for the cold months 😍

This is like a blend between Lolita Lempicka pour femme (original) and Fendi Palazzo edp (those amber basenotes...). Plus some subltle dark (vanilla almondsss...) grape undertone. It's really nice and... "Ka-ching!". Actually, it makes me think of that song. This is the best perfume oriflame ever made, and the first one I bought from them. Surprisingly good. And it lasts well, it's all ok. Try it.

Absolutely perfect review iamoir. I completely agree; my own experience with this divine nectar is almost identical to yours!!! Completely and wonderfully amazing. It's a gorgeous ambrosia. Ambrosia IS the word for it! It's stunning. Totally stunning. Gloriously opulent and evocative. Sensual and seductive. Strong. I LOVE it! AND yes....it lasts forever!!! My dream perfume!!!!

It came to me as a gift. At first I was prejudiced against it because I had not chosen it. Then slowly it captivated me. Feels like the warmness after a tequila shot but only with sweet, delicious effect. Came to love it and still use it. Some friends of mine says it's a middle-age thing which I'm not, but wear it anyways.

A BIG Thank you to member Zuuus.p for the miniature! This reminds me of Coty ICI....very sweet, but warm, amber-y, sensual, and sexy! I can smell the heliotrope in the background and it adds a floral edge to the warmth but stays in the background. I love this! I give it a rating of 4.5/5 STARS!

Long lasting and very nice. I also think it's a unisex fragrance. One of the best of Oriflame. Not too strong and not too sweet, the powder note and amber last all day. Most of Oriflame perfume which I like were not continued so I hope Oriflame don't do this to this one. 5/5 for Amber Elixir

It's the best Oriflame fragrance in my opinion. So sophisticated and elegant. Delicious amber with a hint of fruity note. It evolves beautifully and lasts all day. My perfect scent for autumn. However you have to be careful, when you apply it on white clothes because it leaves stains.

For me after having +300 collection Oriflame is so weak and 90% of the fragrance oil of it smells cheap but this one ! it's like magic ! I havn't smelled anything like that before so unique so sexy it needs powerful women has amazing lasting power and the silage is fantastic .

I bought a very substantial discount. It is a good and cheap perfume. Even though everyone says it's a perfect evening can wear and day. At this price you can give him in abundance! Dedicated perfume left behind as Lancome, Dior, Guerlain. For a higher quality put some money!

It’s a great all-around fragrance for any weather or occasion. It’s strong and longlasting, but not cloying. Out of all my fragrances - niche, designer, or cheap ones, this one gets me the most compliments, hands down. It will always be a repurchase for me.

I love this perfume. It is spicy, warm, sweet. And just slightly dark. I would think this would make the perfect autumn sent but I always love wearing this during winter. I have gone though a few bottles. It is a beautiful sent.

Autumn in a bottle! Cozy, sensual scent for the season when you sit near a fire place and sip something warm from a big mug.. Cozy and.. yes, sexy at the same time. Sweet but not too much. Good longevity! Beautiful bottle.

I was about to buy Enigma by Oriflame when a friend suggested Amber Elixir, and I was just blown away, it's inexpensive in price but the scent is just from heaven. I'm glad that I found this one :)
