Through the garden of delights
Sweet and joyful memories rushed back to my mind as I opened the creaking wooden gate of the family garden.
I hadn’t been there in years, it was smaller and cozier than in my childhood memories, and overflowing with trees and flowers. I walked around the bush of wild roses where we used to play hide and seek. The mouth-watering scent of flowers and musky woods coupled with the reminder of the sweet feast we would inevitably have hidden in the greenhouse was irresistible.
I sat comfortably in the shade of the tall cypress as we used to do. From there, I had a perfect view of the flowerbed of white lilies. The breeze carried the sweet smell of the jasmine tree that climbed the wall of the winter garden, looking after the precious vanilla pods in the greenhouse.
Although I couldn’t see it from where I was, I was confident it was blooming. I abandoned myself to the comforting feeling of belonging to the place and took a tiny bag of violet sweets out of my pocket. I took a deep breath.
It was the scent of happiness at dawn.
24 Elixir Ambrosia was launched in 2017.

Just received, tried once. Smells weird and like harsh chemicals to me, like cheap perfume, not as bad as Azur but not much better. I cannot recommend this perfume. I cannot see how anyone could like this. Not sure Scent Story now what a modern perfume should smell like. Even worse than the junk Versace, Gucci and Perry Ellis put out these days.

Just opened my new box and sprayed it on. This smells like a nice unisex fragrance. This has been on the last 20 minutes or better and it smells somewhat strong initially, but settles down fast(not referencing to projection). The smell at this time appears somewhat linear. It smells like a mixture of all the notes (all aren’t listed but you can see them on their website). It smells like a toned down floral due to the amber, patchouli, and pralines, which is good cause I haven’t met many florals that I like. I really hoped the amber and pralines were more prominent. Wait this one might be a sleeper as the base notes are becoming more apparent. For now, I will give this 7 which is a solid score. If you are a woman you can wear this without issue. Guys, this is unisex, again it is a middle eastern type of frag/scent. If you like gender benders this one isn’t bad. This frag isn’t ground backing, I didnt know what to expect but I did expect something different.
*ok, so I stepped away from the computer for a little while to eat and what not and sniffed my wrist. It is developing more and I am picking up more amber. It could be that because it is a parfum and this brand(?) that it is taking a while for it to unfold and develop. I have all the elixir line and they do take a little time to develop. Another review will be revisited. Until then find a decant, but if you like ME frags, have eclectic taste or just like different and oriental scents give it a try. Happy Sniffing.
UPDATE (11/9/17) – I gave this one another wearing and I really enjoyed it. The notes are blended well yet discernable. The praline note really tones down the florals while giving it a little something extra. I recommend this gem and will be buying a backup bottle
