Parfums d’Elmar Sweet Temptation is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Mark Buxton. Sweet Temptation opens with Orange, Ginger, Saffron, and Tolu Balsam, settles into a heart of Canadian Fir Balsam, Jasmin Sambac, Cinnamon, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Oak, Cedar, Oud, and Vanilla. Parfums d’Elmar's Sweet Temptation carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Sweet Temptation is a dense, resinous blend of balsams, spice and vanilla over oak and oud. It is warm, rich and best suited to cold weather. A good pick for fans of balsamic, woody amber styles.

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.
