I tried it at L’Etoile and was immediately intrigued. At first I can smell medicinal herbs, spices and a cool freshness. It feels as if you’re walking through a field after mowing and breathing in the scent of freshly cut grass
At first, I thought it was simply a wonderful fragrance with bright floral notes and juicy apple. But as soon as I applied it to my skin, some strange bitterness appeared that ruined everything. From the bottle, it's truly alluring, but on the skin, it unfolds completely differently. This note, which comes to the forefront, just kills all the good impression
The scent turned out to be too cloyingly sweet and intense. If they had added a little less sweetness, it would have been simply perfect. Alas, it didn't impress me and didn't evoke any emotions. No matter how I applied it, it didn't change the situation 😅
The sample was a flop, just peach soap. Even actual soap has more fragrance than this scent. In the end, I used it as a home air freshener
The fragrance is really bright and rich, it's like it envelops you. Spicy honey with its tartness is simply delightful, berries add freshness, and rose gives tenderness. But this old-fashioned touch, like from a dusty bouquet, I didn't really like. I don't know, maybe it's just not for me. But overall, the mood from the scent is still good! )
the scent is too sharp, reminiscent of a herbal mojito. there's a lot of lime with a bitter rind, and cardamom, sage, and ginger sound too intrusive. this is exactly the style of men's perfumes that I don't like
Don't take offense, but I also find the original to be a bit artificial, even though it's quite pleasant and fresh. Bayredu sounds more noble, whereas in this perfume the aldehydes are too bright and even a bit powdery. Basically, in essence, it's the same thing, just made from different materials. One got high-quality ingredients, while the others seem to have just bought something from a chemist's shop ))))

I also liked both fragrances, but I repurchased the classic Midnight because its beauty lasts a long time on me. But Elixir... it somehow passed me by, I didn't want to repurchase it 😔
Agreed, it really does resemble an Indian style, but on me, this fragrance feels like a cheap knock-off. It's tiring and just doesn't suit me at all
