Kenzo Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Christophe Raynaud and Daphné Bugey. Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Rum. Kenzo's Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Kenzo's Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir is a divisive one. You'll either find it a sexy, boozy, blackberry jam dream, or a forgettable, overly sweet, cough syrup concoction. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it on your skin first.

Its strong sweetness and boozy notes make it unsuitable for an office setting and a poor choice for sport. However, its 'sexy' and 'seductive' nature, frequently mentioned in reviews, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events, especially in cooler weather where its warmth can shine.

About

Opens with a potent blast of tart blackberry and juicy mandarin, quickly evolving into a rich, syrupy sweetness. White florals like jasmine and tuberose emerge, adding a touch of creamy sophistication. The dry-down settles into a decadent blend of warm caramel, vanilla-infused rum, and earthy patchouli, providing a seductive depth.
