Floral Oud Elixir

Floral Oud Elixir opens on jasmine sambac and a light mandarin brightness, the note the house leans on hardest, before settling into a cashmere and oud heart. Sprayed rather than rolled on, the house pitches this elixir edition as its spring read on the scent, "femininity wrapped in a veil of sensuality" in its own words. White amber, sandalwood and musk build a soft, blended base, matching a reviewer's description of "a soft and sweet hint, not over powering at all, with a pinch of elegance"; more than one reviewer layers it with vanilla for extra depth. Longevity reads well here, one reviewer calls it "long lasting and intriguing" with plenty of compliments, a steadier picture than some of the house's other limited editions. Several reviewers mention the matching oil selling out and staying hard to find, so treat availability as intermittent for a limited run this size. As a soft jasmine-oud floral it suits daytime and warmer-weather wear more than a heavy evening entrance.
