O Boticário Elysée Succès is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Frank Voelkl. Elysée Succès opens with Bergamot, Labdanum, Plum, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily of the Valley, Peony, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Oud, and Patchouli. O Boticário's Elysée Succès carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a grower, initially surprising but rewarding if you give it time. A bold, smoky rose that's undeniably chic and built for winter nights.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with the smoky oud and rich rose, make it less suited for a casual or office setting where it might be too strong. It's perfect for date nights and formal events, particularly in colder weather, as its complexity and depth shine through.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Moss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Elysée Succès opens with a dark, juicy burst of plum and blackcurrant, lifted by a touch of bergamot and the rich warmth of labdanum. This deep fruity introduction quickly gives way to a decadent heart of rose, particularly a sophisticated Grasse rose, softened by delicate lily of the valley and peony. The base settles into a complex tapestry of smoky oud, earthy patchouli, and creamy vanilla, underpinned by musky cedar and moss, adding serious depth and longevity.
