Elixir

Neroli and mandarin brighten the opening with citrus spray—sharp, almost effervescent—before Elixir by Elie Saab deepens into powdery iris at the heart, softening the initial zing into something more diffuse and intimate. The base arrives slowly: myrrh brings a resinous warmth, benzoin adds a vanilla-tinged sweetness, and amberwood grounds everything in soft amber. The drydown settles into a creamy, incense-touched embrace where myrrh and benzoin linger, the citrus now only a whisper against warm wood and resin.
