Shakira Perfumes 2012 Extrait

F ££ Favourite

Elixir

Shakira Perfumes Elixir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Sonia Constant. Elixir opens with Orange Blossom and Pepper, settles into a heart of Peony, Freesia, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Styrax. Shakira Perfumes's Elixir carries a Favourite verdict, an amber-led wear.

This golden amber bomb is a shockingly good blind buy for the price, punching well above its weight. While some find the opening harsh and others yearn for more complexity, most agree this is a warm, spicy hug in a bottle, perfect for cooler weather.

About

Elixir opens with a surprising kick of black pepper and bright orange blossom, quickly mellowing into a sweet, soft heart of juicy peach, delicate peony, and freesia. The dry down is a comforting embrace of rich amber and musk, grounded by woody cedar and earthy styrax, creating a warm, slightly powdery aura that lingers beautifully.
