Oriflame Amber Elixir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Vincent Schaller. Amber Elixir opens with Wine Grape, Mandarin, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Heliotrope, Peony, and Almond, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Oriflame's Amber Elixir carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Amber Elixir is a surprisingly sophisticated and warm amber for its price point. It's a divisive scent; some rave about its luxurious feel and enduring charm, while others find its initial sweetness cloying and the dry-down underwhelming. Love it or hate it, it's a statement.

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.

Its strong projection and enduring warmth make it less suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. However, its sophisticated and sensual profile, coupled with frequent mentions of 'evening' and 'formal' use, position it well for dates and dressier occasions. It's too heavy for sport.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opens with a rich burst of blackcurrant and wine grape, swiftly joined by a powdery sweetness from almond and heliotrope. The heart evolves into a creamy, almost nougat-like warmth, grounded by a long-lasting base of sensual amber, soft musk, and smooth sandalwood. It offers a comforting yet alluring experience, perfect for cooler weather.
