I blind bought this based on the notes and reviews. On first smell it totally reminded me of Givenchy pi which is a fragrance for men but bought for myself about 8 years ago as I loved it so much. It’s Amber Elixirs top and mid notes that remind me of it. Can definetly say this could be its ‘female’ version if it was something you’re after. Lovely fragrance, looking forward to getting to know it some more.

Very sweet, Spicy wood, resembles almost gasoline. Rich.
Twin-sister of Yves Rocher’s over-luxurious sweety-bomb Voile Ambre.
Strong beautiful perfume. Luxurious. When first testing, I got an assumption, that the perfume fades a lot as to mild spicy wood, but it doesn’t: When applied properly/plenty (I don’t recommend), it stays well noticable and over-sweet (and over-everything, not quite gasoline, as Avon’s Faraway is) for hours even to me myself. The smell survived even in a quick shower.
When carefully dosed (I recommend), a sophisticated scent. Sensual. I see waves painted with burgundy, terracotta, brown and gray. Mahogany, oak, or whatever exotic trees.
Chose this scent as the best of Oriflame’s 12 samples (which I carefully selected of dozens).

Well, this is my first comment on fragrantica. I’m always following the reviews because they’re much more honest for me than the brands sites or blogs which usually got the frags as a gift for nice reviews. So, for Amber Elixir, this was my first frag from Oriflame. It was a blind buy acc to the score and the experiences written below. First of all, the longevity is so so poor, i’m sorry. It was a huge disappointment for me, because the notes specified were strong and heavy(this is what i was looking for) especially not for warm and hot days. Although its December, i can not have the scent after an hour even i spraid 5-6 times on my skin & woolen top wear. Its so weak. I wish it will lasts longer and a bit stronger, because the good part is the blend is quite nice, smooth, not too harsh, really something distinctive. I was wondering more heavy and 35+ feminine frag except most women. Finally, Amber Elixir is not bad, not so good but its more suitable for young ladies despite the expectations, notes and the color&design of the bottle. 6/10 is my poit at all.
Shika – :
I was super thrilled to swap for this because I have been wanting to try it for a long time. It is wonderful. Sweet creamy powdery gourmand amber that oddly reminds me of a very hard to find Oriflame that I absolutely adore: Mirage! I compared notes and I think it’s just that the Oriflame amber note is very unique and distinctive. It’s the exact same in both scents.
I love amber and never really get tired of new ones or feel like I have too many. I definitly don’t own one that smells like this! It’s very unique. The almond/heliotrope powder in no way goes in the baby powder direction and the fruity top notes create a delicious fruity/gourmand effect. The silage is pretty great and I got 10+ hours longevity
breetanearo – :
There are so many good oriflame fragrances IMHO.some of them have average quality which is still very good considering their very cheap prices but some are of very high quality!most of these high quality ones are oriflame’s edps and amber elixir is definitely one of the better ones
I completely agree with tiger 84’s review. I also expected it to be much sweeter and heavier but not that I don’t like it as it is.amber elixir is comforting,pleasant and while it’s not a foody gourmand,it’s still delicious.I can detect mandarin and grape but it’s not very fruity,there’s just a touch of delightful fruity brightness.this light fruity floral combo is covered by a soft and warm veil of amber,heliotrope which appears like almondy vanilla and musk. they’re all recognizable but none of them overpowers the others
I agree that it’s a very cozy scent but it also has a charming refinement which makes it a good choice for special occasions, just as good as daily life
Unlike other reviews it’s not a silage monster on me,but it has great longevity.It’s bottle is as great as the juice inside.it looks beautiful and expensive
If you’re looking for a budget friendly perfume,something warm and comforting, strong but not loud or too heavy,sweet but not foody,with a healthy dose of amber but not overly ambery,not an animalic,unisex like amber,a soft creamy one,something well balanced that none of the notes shout at you with amazing longevity and an easy to hold in hand,gorgeous little bottle, then give oriflame amber elixir a try
makarchik – :
I bought this after testing on the Oriflame brochure and it smells even better on my skin. Warm amber, some musk and just a hint of floral. Long lasting and perfect for cold weather, while wearing some comfy sweater and drinking hot chocolate. Totally worth the money
ruchkina1987 – :
I can finally smell this! It smells like a fuzzy, sweet almond amber with a touch of powder. The musk in this may make it hard for some of us to discern the perfume, but if you persist, it finally appears. Great for layering!
vovan4uk – :
Autumn in a bottle! Cozy, sensual scent for the season when you sit near a fire place and sip something warm from a big mug..
Cozy and.. yes, sexy at the same time. Sweet but not too much.
Good longevity!
Beautiful bottle.
oxt814speagoessenda – :
I expected something heavier and sweeter, a resinous and almost smoky, honeyed amber, but this is nothing like that. It is creamy and bright and more complex than I thought. The fruits here are refreshing and vibrant, uplifting and rather tart, unlike the sharp aggressive sweetness or modern fruity florals. They are juicy and never cloying, a huge surprise. Then comes the lovely almondy part, rich and smooth and creamy. By the time it reaches the amber and sandalwood phase it goes quite weak on my skin, so I will have to apply more sprays to enjoy it even more. Not a heavy hitter but very loveable, mild and embracing. It reminds me to a berries-almond cheesecake. Best for autumn+ winter but might be enjoyable almost year-round.
alul01 – :
Absolutely perfect review iamoir. I completely agree; my own experience with this divine nectar is almost identical to yours!!! Completely and wonderfully amazing.
It’s a gorgeous ambrosia. Ambrosia IS the word for it! It’s stunning. Totally stunning. Gloriously opulent and evocative. Sensual and seductive. Strong. I LOVE it! AND yes….it lasts forever!!! My dream perfume!!!!
See_the_difference – :
Well done Oriflame! I just wish all your perfumes had the quality of Amber Elixir (and its black bottled flanker).
Unlike other Oriflame fragrances, Amber Elixir is an eau de parfum, so if you generally ever decide to purchase any Oriflame fragrance make sure it’s an eau de pafrum; they are actually perfumes, that have no problem competing with high end perfumes.
This is a masterpiece. The lasting power of it (well at least on me) is…until I wash. Yes, it stains,it will stain your hair, your clothes,on your pillow, on your skin, anywhere you spritz it, it will linger for ever. Sillage is insane, almost everyone that i talk to is wondering what is that smell; some seem very interested and like it, some seem confused and rub their noses. Well not everyone is going to like it. It’s heavy, deep, strong, sultry and erotic, oriental.
Right off the bat this is a winter scent, not even autumn, WINTER, it’s so hot, it might be unbearable to wear it on hot days. But you never know, if someone likes it so much, there really isn’t any restriction, i love to reek of it so i spray it everywhere, a head turner most definitely.
The pyramid is so true to what i smell. This happens rarely with perfume. I have had and have high end perfumes and still some notes are ”not there”, but this abides by its pyramide.
First spray is fruity! Delicious fruits, not the ”edible type ones” but refined; for this reason gourmand perfume lover won’t like it, it’s not a foody fragrance despite the fruits. Citrus first and then the grapes. You will smell this combo for some hours. I was baffled initially, like ”where is the amber i was promised?”. You have to wait for it to develop, it takes it hours! And the fruits won’t really really fade, they will be there just in the background.
After three hours(?) i start sniffing something vanillic, of course it’s the heliotropin, so not sweet, so pleasant and warm. It pairs nicely with almonds and stays like that, until peony pops up, one hour later(?). Peony will stand out until sandalwood takes over and then it’s the drydown: sandalwood, amber and musk. On me it’s more woody than ambery, but that’s just body chemistry, sandalwood is a favorite so i don’t mind at all.
The blend is so juicy and lovely. The bottle is also vintagey, i remember my grandma’s cosmetics and they all had a pattern similar of this perfume’s packaging
If ambrosia had a scent, it would be this.
jxn422speagoessenda – :
I got my little purse bottle in the mail today and I am quite confused. Not in a negative way, but I will definitely need time to understand this perfume, even though it seems pretty mainstream! When I first sprayed it, it reminded me mostly of Hypnotic Poison, very almondy and creamy. Tested globally (with a heavy hand), it gives me more of the vibe that I get from Orchidee Vanille by Van Cleef&Arpels, with some tiny resemblance to Madonna’s Truth or Dare Naked. Of course it’s just my brain’s associations, but I am positive about getting some bitter cocoa and orchid, while amber is very, very quiet for now. It’s a hot summer here and I think it’s more of a winter perfume, so I’ll keep on testing. A “like” for now.
PreliAlkare – :
Soft, enveloping fume for cold months. I detect some plastic, almondy sweetness that is typical in Dior Hypnotic Poison.
Very good!
Like a cashmere blanket with some sweetness.
I like to wear it, but men find it “cheap Esater colonge” on me. (In Hungary men water women and girls with water or some fragrance, and the result of the day is a total olfactory chaos of scalp)
Лена – :
I think it’s their best. It is sweet, warm and lasts all day. The dry down reminds me of “Tia Maria” liqueur.
minimal – :
One relativley good parfum for the price.
xammetik – :
I can’t understand how AE smells like. I literally can’t smell it – I mean, it isn’t like I can’t tell I am wearing something, but I am having a very hard time perceiving what I am wearing. It is so strange. I mainly got it to layer with Jasmin Noir, which I find nice but a bit one-dimensional. I thought the almond notes would complement each other well. But there is the little problem that I can’t smell this. I think I’ll have to wear it out to understand what is going on here.
Edit – I think I may be allergic to this perfume. It literally makes me break out in cold sweat and feel dizzy. My hands get cold and I feel drained afterwards. I sprayed it on a few times throughout the day to test my reaction and that seems to be it. I can’t believe this. I hope I am wrong. Is this even possible? What would do that?
Cipsaningon – :
good silage fragrance a little sweet but notes ambar fascinate me!!!!
zorinka_motor – :
Soft but cold i think.something in it,some,mmm,smell some dusty maybe but not powdery,it absolutely smells creamy
Unisex and maybe better on men.
вампір – :
Excellent quality. Little bit to sweet and musky in the beginning, but short after, mainly almond like. Non offensive, not that strong as I expected. Warm, nice, feminine. Reminded me on some strong drinks. Beautiful, compact bottle with a magnificent spritzer! Definitely give it a try, and don’t rush with conclusions.
aix297Negeltzex – :
This was a blind purchase for me. I was really disappointed. It´s too strong for me, all I can smell is alcohol. SOMETIMES there is a hint of actual scent, but it´s really rare. Just want to add, that I just sprayed once, from min.20 cm distance.
Anyway, I´m gonna keep it and try to get used to it. Altough I think my grandma could like this… 😀
sar167 – :
It’s the best Oriflame fragrance in my opinion. So sophisticated and elegant. Delicious amber with a hint of fruity note. It evolves beautifully and lasts all day. My perfect scent for autumn. However you have to be careful, when you apply it on white clothes because it leaves stains.
tula71 – :
I think this is unisex parfume. Not fit for me but really nice in my father.
andalev – :
Long lasting and very nice. I also think it’s a unisex fragrance. One of the best of Oriflame. Not too strong and not too sweet, the powder note and amber last all day. Most of Oriflame perfume which I like were not continued so I hope Oriflame don’t do this to this one. 5/5 for Amber Elixir
mazajd – :
It came to me as a gift. At first I was prejudiced against it because I had not chosen it. Then slowly it captivated me. Feels like the warmness after a tequila shot but only with sweet, delicious effect. Came to love it and still use it. Some friends of mine says it’s a middle-age thing which I’m not, but wear it anyways.
Борис54 – :
However Im fruity-floral fragrance woman I have to admit that I love this scent. This is very warm, but not spicy fragrance to me. This reminds me a lady in classy dress, sitting in a lounge with fireplace, drinking whisky. I really dont like oriental scents. But I would wear this one through cold days and nights. So beautiful
vetkasakkyrj – :
This fragrance is so powdery that’s what i wasn’t expecting. For me it’s so light for winter …
exnikner – :
this one smells great, very well-blended, it just amazes me how beautiful it is but… it has the staying power of a sneeze on my skin, with or without cream, on my clothes, on my scarf; no matter what method i use to make it last longer, it just doesn’t, in other words, i shower myself with it then seconds later, i use another perfume or EDT just to smell like i have anything on!!
it would’ve been better if it had weak sillage & staying power, but none at all is not acceptable, it took away all the love i had for the frag itself, truly disappointed 🙁
i said before that it reminded me of body works, i take that back, body works is stronger
sasha123sasha – :
I’ve only just discovered this perfume and it’s really amazing. Discreet and classic, sophisticated, warm and feminine and indeed perfect for winter days. But not only, I think it also goes in spring and autumn. Also, it is quite long lasting and also suited for both office and casual time.
ТudesaTuna – :

I was about to buy Enigma by Oriflame when a friend suggested Amber Elixir, and I was just blown away, it’s inexpensive in price but the scent is just from heaven.
I’m glad that I found this one 🙂
nordfoster – :
This one is a keeper of secrets. It has depth and charm in a mysterious alluring way. One minute it is bold and sophisticated even downright sassy, and then the next notes reveal themselves as shy,innocent and sweet. But not too sweet. Just enough sweetness to draw intrigue. Who is that mysterious woman? It is all women,it is you. Quite intoxicating and very irresistible. Neither too masculine nor feminine. This is a balanced composition of earthiness and ethereal. You’ll want to snuggle up close with it and so will everyone else. Aren’t you the lucky one? Yep,definitely a keeper.
heprect – :
Usually, I don’t like oriental scent, but I do like this one. I smelled it last night at my sister’s. It’s so warm and comforting. I sense a lot of almond in it. It’s so nice for a cold winter day… 🙂
Update: I tried this a few days ago at the mall and all I can say is that this was surely reformulated. I didn’t feel the almond at all. Just a plain soapy smell. So sad…
traivilla – :
Another successful blind purchase! 🙂
In the opening there’s a delicious blend of fruits. Not just your typical fruity scent, but a creamy, warm and seductive fruity scent!
In some time it morphs into the heart of the fragrance where the heliotrope makes it’s appearance and announces the scrumptious almonds!
Eventually the fruits disappear to make place for the lovely sensual dry-down of warm amber, sweet almonds and creamy sandalwood…
I like how this scent develops through stages and therefore it’s not a boring linear scent.
I don’t find this scent to be loud, it’s present in a non-overwhelming way.
Longevity is moderate on me.
♥♥♥♥
toxajr – :
Rich, warm, delicious, luxurious, expensive – words that come to my mind when I smell it. And the best thing is – it’s cheap! Coldn’t get any better. This perfume is so addictive, I can’t stop smelling my wrist.
I love it in the fall season. Also I must say the longevity is on the level of very expensive perfumes such as Chanel or Thierry Mugler. So it is really worth trying and I wouldn’t be scared of blind-buying this beautiful perfume.
GREETINGS FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC! 🙂
Keypeliania – :
I dont like this perfume on the first spray because it is overpowering. However after that it becomes softer and leaves a very nice mixture of amber and sandalwood. It’s better to wear this perfume at night.
makeenko – :
Hmm I LOVE this perfume, so far it is my favorite by Oriflame. It is similar to hipnotic poision, i love it and i can’t stop sniffing it from the bottle all day long. if i’m watching a movie or just chilling i am always having the bottle in my hand and enjoying this smell. anyone one who want to buy this i say go ahead u won’t regret <3
pienina – :
i blind buy this and at the first sniff i fell in love with it. it’s creamy, a little bit sweet and really good.
it’s such a daily wear perfume for a low price!

oriental pure ambrish smell with hints of almond and mandrine if you are into oriental scents this is for you
it smells exactly like one of the rochas collection ,can’t remember which one though 🙁
ReinisOzols – :
Not a great fan of Oriflame and home-sell-party’s but this parfume is adorable.
A long lasting power and a great amber scent.
I ordered the amber elixer body cream for built-up layer effect.
drum – :
Amber Elixir is very rich. Very much a sweet, strong fruity floral amber, not woody. Lots of sweet almond here, too, with all ingredients very well blended.
On my skin, the fruits with amber seem more prominent for the first 4 hours. After that, the florals and sweet almond with amber are most noticeable in the drydown, with the fruits more in the background.
Overall very sweet, I love Amber Elixir ! It lasts on my skin forever until I wash it off. Silage is moderate and wonderful.
If you’re looking for a woody scent, this is not it. Amber Elixir is a very sweet, dense fruity floral. Beautiful !
barabashka13 – :
This is not for me. On my skin, it would smell like men’s perfume.
But this has very good silleage and very long lasting:)
bullbulator – :
I get this as a gift (I thnik I talked too much about how much I love oriental, powdery, musky, amber scents..) from my family. Well, it smells very good (!!) and it’s really good value……. I like it very much, but I’m looking for something more polish and less sweet.

Wow!Nagyon szeretem ezt az illatot. Már a második üveget használom.

I bought this blind and I’m really pleased with it, I love woody amber based fumes generally, but it’s a little different than how I imagined, all the same very lovely indeed.. An excellent well rounded juice that sits well, but with moderate longevity on my skin. As for sillage, I have yet to road test ; ) Because of the almond and base notes I can with a big big stretch of imagination see why it’s sometimes compared to H.P which I really love, but to me that’s where the comparison stops.. not getting a lot of musk but that’s not a problem although still getting a hint of mandarin on dry down.. lovely stuff.. my anytime winter 2012 edp!
ksandrilian – :
I bought a very substantial discount. It is a good and cheap perfume. Even though everyone says it’s a perfect evening can wear and day. At this price you can give him in abundance! Dedicated perfume left behind as Lancome, Dior, Guerlain. For a higher quality put some money!

I Made myself a gift and I’m amazed of it. It’s great, warm, stylish and on me it lasts a whole Day long. It’s definitely an autumn _ Winter frag, but good Job, Oriflame!

It’s a beautiful sweet, woody and sensual delight of a fragrance! My boyfriend loves it, and so do I. It lasts for about 4-5 hours too, which just adds to it’s charm. <3 <3
KUZNECOV1088 – :
When I first sprayed it smelled like I had sprayed myself with a shot amaretto liquor. Then after about 5 minutes it starts to morph into a lovely almondy sweet amber and the sandalwood begins to come forward and tease you a little. The grapes, oranges and blackcurrants are not really distinguishable in themselves but wrap themselves around the almonds to sweeten them and compliment the sweet, smokey amber scent. The final dry down is when the musk, sandalwood and heliotrope become more prominent but the sweet almond and amber still remain. This is an amazing multi-faceted and sexy fragrance.
Personally I don’t think this smells remotely like Hypnotic Poison but if you’re like me and you’re a worshiper of Hypnotic Poison and know that there is never going to be a perfume that copies it but would like to find something a bit less expensive to wear to the office but still gives you that warm exotic sexiness, then I have no doubt that you will enjoy this scent.
I have to say that this perfume out-performs a lot of the much more expensive brands out there. Longevity on me is about 6-7 hours
Silage is about 4 feet for the first 2-3 hours, then about 2 feet for a couple of more hours dying down for about 12 inches for the last couple of hours.
galactik – :
Got a sample of this from the darling “Allinug”.
This one smells very similar to Yria by Yves Rocher. A bit softly aldehydic amber. Fresh and clean, not so much on the “cozy” side.
Not at all what i had expected, I thought it would smell more caramel-ish. Perhaps more like Hypntioc Poison or Obsession?
Very “old school” feel to it, I like that very much. But I don`t think I will buy a bottle though, I`ll stick to Yria.
Amber Elixir is very weak to by the way, it disappeares way to fast.

A BIG Thank you to member Zuuus.p for the miniature!
This reminds me of Coty ICI….very sweet, but warm, amber-y, sensual, and sexy!
I can smell the heliotrope in the background and it adds a floral edge to the warmth but stays in the background.
I love this! I give it a rating of 4.5/5 STARS!

MANSUROV – :
A great amber, musk and almond scent. A great every-day-parfum. Longlasting on my skin. Good price – good scent. A scent for both younger and middleaged women! Some sugarsweet notes but not overwhelming sweet. No heavy or edgy notes.
En härlig amber, musk och mandel mixad doft. Härlig varje-dag-doft. Sitter bra på huden. Bra pris för en bra parfym. en doft för både yngre och medelålders kvinnor/tjejer. Aningens sockersöta toner men bara lite. Inte tung eller kvalmig. En doft för amber/musk-älskaren.
Artemev – :
Despite being effordably priced I find Oriflame to make unique fragrances, with good staying power, enjoyable sillage, and wide ranged.
Here the amber theme was picked up with different notes ftom many others: the grapes and almonds together in a mix aren’t something I was familiar with. And this is something to be positively commented on, since it is different and has a nice nutty-fresh twist to the amber. And the amber isn’t heavy and potent. It compliments with the beforementioned notes.
I don’t smell distinct flower notes, but they are white and fresh flowers.
I was sure to love it, but sadly because of the almonds it just didn’t work well with me. Scents like Diors HP, Jacomos Art (yellow bottle), and Crazylibellule&Poppies Vanille Macarons developed just like Amber Elixir did, a horrid Play-Do-note on my skin.
denus31 – :
What a pleasant surprise this was! Such a sweet, fluffy, pretty scent! Not an earth-shakingly complex or original but very nice and pleasant. Quite sweet but not too much for me, not that strong either. I get a mix of amber, honey and heliotrope on my skin. That might sound unbearably sweet but surprisingly, it’s not. It’s a fluffy, sweet, powdery scent with somewhat airy quality and it makes me feel good.
ors203Negeltzex – :
Somehow this scent reminds me of perfumery smell…you know, when you just walk through on the shop and the smells of the perfumes just mixed in the air…and your nose just become full with the fragrances.
So…every time when I take sniff from this essence always the perfumery comes to my mind.
I don’t like to write negative rewiews but unfortuntely Amber Elixir is one of my bad choice.:(
Amber Elixir somehow an unfinished composition for me. After many attempts I just feel the cloying, synthetic mass of the notes and nothing else. My skin doesn’t like Amber Elixir.:)
Otherwise this would be a nice amber scent if it works with the chemistry well.
If you could, try before you buy it.:)
sergio f. – :
Amber Elixir is a great choice if Hypnotic Poison is your cuppa 🙂
It opens with fruity notes of blackcurrant and grapes and soon turns into a sensual mixture of creamy heliotrope and bitter sweet almonds. The drydown does not come soon, so you need a dose of patience to wait for amber and sandalwood to emerge and make you fall in love with the fragrance.
Amber Elixir possesses all the notes I would die for; it is also a deep, sexy and sensual fragrance; great for a hot night for two.
I love the fragrance sparkling with almond and amber; it makes me feel confident and boosts my sex appeal 🙂
It lasts and lasts so no need to reapply every 3 hours!
The silage is also more than decent; it is detectable by people around you for a good 5 hours.
The flacon is a work of art and I am planning to buy another few bottles before it becomes impossible to find.
I agree with the window above; Amber Elixir shares many similarities with IsaBella and Hypnotic Poison; it has that unusual deep, rich, sensual, almost dark feel to it.
A marvel. Full stop.

теема2009 – :
It’s the best of Oriflame, I think! Perfect for my mother, But too strong for me, so I gave it too her. She very loves it and wears it on every occasions.
Medzs762bedyWelty – :
I could bet this has exclusively vanilla in it. The type of amber in this composition is really sweet, comforting, almost homely. It is warming, I would say a winter scent due to the sweetness. The licorice not listed here is really present at all stages, the in -existent/unlisted vanilla too. It does match the name, however, but in the sense that it really is addictive – as they say about amber – this perfume makes me want to smell it more and more. In the dry-down there is a faint trace of smokiness, but only at a close sniff. The musk is the last one standing in this scent and it comes through only after about 8 hours. Overall it is a nice, warm-sweet/vanilla fragrance that I shall be wearing in cold months. It evokes warmth, a home-like environment, it invites to chat over a cup of hot black tea. The staying power is amazing for this price-friendly perfume company, it lasts all day, and if it gets into the clothes it stays there for long.

i would like to thank Orchidlover for the pretty 4 ml bottle she gifted me 🙂
it was always in front of my eyes but i never gave it a try .. i dunt know why but i was foolish-y expected an amber bomb burst with some floral notes !!!
warm , sexy , sweet balanced between oriental and modernity ,with a fair long lasting on my skin. it remind me with Versace Crystal Noir which i adore ..the same sillage but this one dried down more oriental less sweet than CN.
its a high brand body butter mixed with soft warm eastern spices . amazing bottle matches perfectly the juice inside . i would love to get the whole set perfume, body cream , body spray and the roll on . another PERFECT hit by Oriflame !
8.5/10

I agree that it`s very likable 🙂 Too heavy at the beggining on me,but after 15mins stays great and not so loud.Very sweet begging,but not yummy sweetness.For Oriflame is more than great-lasts long enough and smells fantastic,in my opinion this is more for cold days.I usually don`t use Oriflame fragrances,but this and Divine are truly diamonds for me.
TobieBrauning – :
Very likeable.
This is my first oriflame-fragrance I have tried, and keeping in mind it is a budget-brand, I’m not dissapointed at all. It’s warm and sweet, there is just one note somewhere which doesn’t smell very natural and slightly sinthetic, I think it’s the mandarin orange. Not very ambery, also not very classy as some may say, but definitely very woman-ish. Feminine is a word that makes me think of romance, while woman is more leaning towards power. And this amber elixir reminds me a little bit of that power.

It’s the first one that I’ve tried from Oriflame, and it made a good impression.
A high quality fragrance!
Very, very sweet at the begining, but who said sweet perfumes can’t smell simultaneously sophisticated?
Really edible, natural aroma of mature grapes, currants, crispy, moist almonds … Giving a sweetness I can’t bear!
After about half an hour it settles down to a beautiful, cosy, warm, almondy-vanillic amber.
Agree with a comment below, similar to Hypnotic Poison at this stage! With a touch of Dior’s Addict drydown.
Overall, a well-composed perfume for a very reasonable price. Sillage and lasting power are outstanding. Also, I think the bottle is nice, although I haven’t seen it in reality.
Still, I prefer Hypnotic Poison.

very strong, last long, sweet from the first to the last note not very suitable for young women. Perfect for semi-formal and formal parties, I think.

This is like a blend between Lolita Lempicka pour femme (original) and Fendi Palazzo edp (those amber basenotes…). Plus some subltle dark (vanilla almondsss…) grape undertone. It’s really nice and… “Ka-ching!”. Actually, it makes me think of that song.
This is the best perfume oriflame ever made, and the first one I bought from them. Surprisingly good. And it lasts well, it’s all ok. Try it.
BycleslistBot – :
It smells luxurious to my skin. The base notes are sophisticated for me. It’s worth trying a bottle (or more).
murena – :
i have this and its pure amber smell. I am not saying it is worth to purchase but it is the smell remains last longer for 6 to 7 hours.
AtlantSoul – :

Feminine, deep, inviting, erotic. Bitter sweet smell of a hot body with the touch of animate sourness.
Apparently, skin chemistry matters very much with this perfume. Doesn’t fit a young girl.
kkk – :
It really doesn’t go well with my skin chemistry. A nice opening and pleasant middle, than a horrible, cheap-smelling, artificial base, however, it’s pretty lastin
