Shakira Perfumes 2012 Extrait
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, a musk-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Its warm, amber-heavy profile and moderate sillage make it suitable for dates and formal events, creating an intimate yet sophisticated presence. While not overtly casual, its comforting warmth lends itself to relaxed evenings, though it's too rich for sport and might be a touch much for an open-plan office.
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.

- Synthetic 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
