The Character and History of the Fragrance
Max Azria BCBG Élixir de Cassis is an eau de parfum released in 2018.
The fragrance is part of the BCBG Max Azria collection and is aimed at those who enjoy expressive fruity-floral compositions with noticeable sweetness and a luxurious amber drydown.
The fragrance was created in the aesthetic of Max Azria, a brand whose DNA brings together Parisian chic and the American dream.
In BCBG Élixir de Cassis, this idea sounds especially vivid: juicy berries and fruits meet airy flowers, while the deep base adds volume, warmth and impact to the composition.
Development and Scent Profile
From the first minutes, the fragrance reveals an energetic fruity character.
Blackcurrant provides a rich sweet-and-sour facet, pear softens the accord with transparent juiciness, and strawberry adds a playful, almost dessert-like mood.
Thanks to this opening, BCBG Élixir de Cassis makes an immediate impression and is easy to remember.
Gradually, the composition becomes more floral and elegant.
Jasmine, lily, poppy and rose create a soft, layered heart in which white-floral purity blends with a romantic rosy nuance and a subtle spicy expressiveness.
The finish unfolds with amber, caramel, tonka bean and vetiver: sweet warmth gains a dry woody contrast, so the base never feels flat.
Who Will Enjoy BCBG Élixir de Cassis
Positioned as a unisex fragrance, its fruity-floral character will especially appeal to those looking for a noticeable, compliment-worthy and sensual perfume without strict ties to age or gender.
Its very strong sillage makes it suitable for evenings, festive occasions, dates and situations when you want to make an expressive statement.
Sweet berry and caramel nuances sound especially harmonious in cool weather, in autumn and winter, as well as in early spring.
In warm weather, it is best applied sparingly while taking the setting into account: its dense sillage can quickly fill a room.
The exact dosage for skin and clothing is not specified in the available information, so it is best to start with a small amount and assess the development on your own skin.
