Elevation

by Arnaud Poulain

Les Eaux Primordiales Elevation is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Arnaud Poulain. Elevation opens with Hazelnut, Pear, Sesame, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Cinnamon, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood, Musk, Ambroxan, and Vanilla. Les Eaux Primordiales's Elevation carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

A divisive scent, with some hailing it as a masterpiece blend of Althaïr and Blue Talisman, while others decry it as a redundant Althaïr dupe with an unwelcome 'armpit sweat' note. Definitely one to try before you buy.

About

Elevation opens with a delectable, nutty warmth from hazelnut and sesame, brightened by sweet pear and a hint of spicy cardamom. The heart unfolds into a soft, inviting bouquet of orange blossom and freesia, gently spiced with cinnamon. As it settles, a creamy vanilla and deep guaiac wood emerge, underscored by the clean, modern hum of ambroxan and a subtle musk, creating a smooth and subtly gourmand drydown.
