Elixir Pour Femme

Inspiration
Roja Dove often begins with a name. When ELIXIR came to him, he knew the scent had to seem to hold magical powers, able to turn the everyday into something extraordinary. He wanted it to feel ever-present and completely invisible at the same time. So he let the freshness of fruit and flowers radiate outward, while cedar, sandalwood and vanilla bind the scent to the skin.

The Signature of Elixir Pour Femme
Elixir revolves around a rare material: orris-sur-cèdre, orris butter distilled over cedarwood. It gives the powderiness of iris a dry, woody backbone. Above it Roja lets raspberry and peach play among lily of the valley, geranium, heliotrope and violet. Ambrette, a plant musk from seeds, makes the drydown velvet-soft. In the Parfum concentration that woody iris comes through most clearly.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
We find Elixir Parfum one of the house's most elegant feminine scents. It begins cheerfully and fruity, but within an hour it turns powdery and soft, like silk on warm skin. That iris glow lingers long without ever dominating. We like it by day and on spring evenings, yet in winter it is surprisingly beautiful too. Refinement that reveals itself only up close: that is its quiet power.
