Serge Dumonten launched Elixir Narcotique in 2020 — and it was a brilliant move. A unisex fragrance rooted in the east family. The nose behind this fragrance — Serge Duval. Released in eau de parfum.
Brand country — France. Elixir Narcotique Serge Dumonten — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
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 fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Elixir Narcotique is built as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Serge Dumonten is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
In the first seconds you meet clean cedar first notes: Sandalwood and Woody Accord. Exactly these 2 notes form clear woody framework that is impossible to miss.
In the middle phase you notice Honey and musk holding a velvety-sweet direction. In what remains on skin the composition is fixed through Hemp and Orange, shaping a vetiver-green trail.
The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Wood, Sweet, Musk and Green. The framework further includes Citrus and Gourmet. Within olfactory families the composition sits in East.
In summary Elixir Narcotique holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged on skin.
