Manifesto l'Elixer

“A while back I tried this one and the original. Then, I got the original cos I preferred the middle notes. Now I tried this one again, and I have to say it has grown on me. At first I get sweet peppery notes, the middle has a flowery note that the original doesn't,and the drydown is more dirty sexy vanilla than the first. The drydown reminds me of Dior Addict, same type of vanilla. I would say the staying power on me is moderate. Sillage is better. Lovely scent.”

“The opening smells like licorice/anise to me. Also a bit like those plastic baby dolls. I enjoy this, really.Within the hour it's turned into a sweet, deep, yummy vanilla. Projection on this is medium-high. Longevity is a few hours as well.”

“I have been wanting to try this for the longest so thank you lybarra118 for the sample. I loved the intense beast of an opening but then it faded down pretty quickly to something much more vanilla. I could barely make out the heliotrope and wood in the drydown, it was actually amazing how it faded so quickly. The drydown, which like liked (but not loved like the opening) remineded me of another frag I am always talking about, Aquolina Gold Sugar. I wish they could extend that monster opening, I would buy a dozen bottles.”
