This is fun but I wouldn’t want to smell like it; Cigarettes and licorice, very patchy. That’s not the notes but it’s exactly how it smells to me. IMO this heavy hitter could be disliked by a good number of people

Love the bottle. Scent is inoffensive.

At first spray I thought this is familiar at first I thought Tom Ford’s Black Orchid but WAYYYYYY diluted
Both are dark white florals but black orchids gardenias are intensified by ylang ylang & the imaginary black orchid spicy accord making it a saber tooth tiger compared to norells tuberose, plum, patchouli hybrid coming off as a kitten to its mother
It’s a lovely scent but for its price it’s not worth it… It’s basically a darker version of Juicy Couture “Couture Couture” and you will probably get more quality out of couture couture than Norell Elixier but it still smells lovely
But having both black orchid and Norell Elixier on the back of my hand I must say quality >>>>> prices any day, this made me want to actually buy couture couture just for that reason

I have to admit that I didn’t have burning desire to try this out because I remember smelling the old version and no offense to women who love it but it just about made me hurl. So I assumed it must be the modern version of it. I am glad I finally gave it a shot though.
I own small spray courtesy of Scentbird and I was surprised how much I liked it. Especially since it has tuberose and patchouli-notes that tend to be very hit or miss for me. It opens up a bit spicy but not overtly though and quickly transforms into slightly sweet, almost resinous tuberose, with patchouli.
Wow, I am really liking it, to my eternal surprise.
Lasting power is not that awesome which I was surprised and disappointed in. But it seem to be the case for so many fragrances nowdays.
I also sampled “regular” Norell(not elixir) and I was also very surprised how different it was-much sweeter and more powdery.
I didn’t like it nowhere near as much as Elixir. “Regular” Norell is missing that spicy note that gives it something special so that’s a no for me but I can see how many people would really like it.
I still have my vial from Scentbird but if I run out, I may consider purchasing a bottle

This is really well done. The initial spray is thick and heavy, sweet notes with a twist that smells almost like licorice to me. I get the plum and patchouli melting with tuberose and pepper. There’s a hint of citrus, but it vanishes quickly. Norell Elixir has a mysterious vibe to it, but it’s also very familiar, cozy and warming.
The perfume lasts about 4-5 hours on my skin, with a lovely dry-down that features lingering notes of sweet plum and dry light patchouli. I adore this, it’s a great fragrance!

I just got this, and it’s really amazing. I find it to be very alluring and sexy smelling. It’s almost gourmand, and it’s somewhat “perfumey” too. It strikes me as mature, but not stuffy or matronly. It’s somewhat reminiscent of what the power house fragrances used to be, and when perfumes weren’t afraid to be loud, and unapologetic. I have this in a small size, and can already predict I’ll need the full size bottle. It’s that good.

This takes me back in time to Yves Rocher’s 8e Jour without the sweet note. This is a spicy scent that is pretty without being overwhelming like Opium or masculine like some spicy perfumes tend to be.
