Elixir Le Parfum Payot, brought to life in 2018, sits firmly in the category of a feminine fragrance, drawing from the wood, musk, and floral families. An eau de toilette — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Behind this fragrance stands France and its rich perfumery heritage. Elixir Le Parfum Payot unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Elixir Le Parfum is built as a layered story, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Payot is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette keeps a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
As soon as the fragrance opens you sense fresh floral first notes: Frangipani and Neroli. These 2 notes set the effect of a living bouquet that anchors the first impression immediately.
In the middle phase you notice Amyris, Myrrh and Rose keeping a structural woody direction.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Floral, Musc and Wood with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Floral, Wood, Balsamic and Gourmet. The palette also extends to Musk and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the composition sits in Floral, Musk and Wood.
In summary Elixir Le Parfum holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
