by Elisire
Elisire's fragrance is a bold, opulent composition centered around warm oud, sweet vanilla, and aromatic spices. It features a dramatic opening with saffron, cumin, clove, and bergamot—dark and pungent, with a metallic, leathery edge that some find overwhelming. The heart layers into a rich blend of sandalwood, cedar, and jasmine sambac, creating a dense, textured core. By the dry down, the fragrance evolves into a creamy, ambered vanilla with guaiac wood and labdanum, offering a smooth but still assertive trail. It projects powerfully, with long-lasting performance into the night. This scent is best suited for mature, confident wearers who embrace strong, unapologetic aromas, especially in colder months. While some find it accessible and even opulent—comparing it to high-end oud masterpieces—others perceive it as cheap, cloying, or aggressively masculine, particularly in the top notes. Its alignment with autumn and winter, along with strong sillage and lasting endurance, underscores its suitability for evening or intimate experiences.
