Elixir Pour Femme

Elixir Pour Femme by Roja Parfums is a feminine-leaning parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, moves into lily of the valley, geranium, rose de mai, jasmine, ylang-ylang and heliotrope and dries down to violet, cinnamon, cedarwood, cashmere wood, sandalwood and vanilla. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Rose de Mai Softer, honeyed May rose. Expensive and unmistakably natural.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.

Dry-down

Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
