Elyssia Aura

I purchased my bottle from a fragrance group so she’s been matured a little. I have not had my nose on the OG DNA so I cannot compare. On first spray I thought she smelled too mature, a Chanel No.5 mature vibe and I wasn’t sure whether this was another blind buy fail. However, after a minute she transformed into a beautiful sophisticated vanilla, like fresh vanilla still in its pod, a lovely soft orange note pops through and there’s a lovely gentle warmth from the cinnamon and nutmeg but they’re not overbearing. The patchouli is not overpowering but you can definitely smell it and it feels like it’s binding the notes together. There is a whipped cream note which also helps to keep things from being too heavy. I definitely detect a cognac note but this doesn’t turn this fragrance sour or boozy. I don’t yet detect the cocoa. I’ve sat here thinking 🤔 that she reminds me of something and to my nose there is a slight Petra vibe. I didn’t like Petra but I do like this. She has a little more maturation time before the cooler seasons but in all honesty I think you could wear this rather sophisticated vanilla any time. To me a very feminine fragrance, I would also imagine she would be great for layering with other fragrances both feminine and masculine. I think layering with any of the Khamrah’s (except waha) and Replica by the fireplace could present some really interesting note developments.

Based on the notes I thought I was going to get a rich fall/winter gourmand but on my skin it opens bright, sparkling and fresh. The orange stands out immediately with a little bit of spice. Its not like sweet orange candy, its more like orange zest. Its very pleasant to my nose and just feels energetic and vibrant. As it dries down a soft vanilla creaminess appears but it never becomes heavy, boozy or overly sweet. This seems much lighter to me than the notes say. I'm getting a ceder that feels airy and elegant. I feel like I can get away wearing this in the Spring and Fall. I get sparkling orange, soft vanilla and some light woods that is easily pulled off.

Warm, earthy vanilla scent that lasts forever. The bottle is very feminine but the fragrance is right down the middle unisex. The opening is one of the 7 wonders of the world. I can't understand how someone could possibly dislike this.

Love this. Unisex bright orange with smoky cinnamon, cognac and some vanilla. Very cozy and soothing to me. Saving this for fall. 8/10

Smells really good, sweet, vanilla 😋
