Description
Les Elixirs Precieux is a new luxurious collection of perfume oils from Dior, inspired by the oriental tradition of combining and layering scents. The collection consists of four “basic” perfume oils or elixirs developed by the in-house perfumer Francois Demachy: Rose, Ambre, Musc and Oud.
The collection is made of luxurious materials in high concentration, which are supposedly hand-picked by the perfumer himself. Rose contains essence of Turkish rose; Ambre contains amber of animal origin; Oud captures extract of agar wood and Musc smells both intense and soft with white musk.
These perfumes can be used independently, applying to pulse points or in combination with other exclusive Dior perfumes to create new fragrant experiences.
Oud Elixir Precieux was launched in 2014.

The dry down smells really strange. Like someone made a cough syrup flavored with synthetic oud .
In price same price of around 400 USD you an buy a 300 years old-aged oud perfume in some nice mid-east brands!!

Like other said, this is not oud at all. They just can’t make perfume as good as oriental ones..
Stay away from it.
snollockasy – :
Definitely not real oud. Pure synthetics and smells that way. Nothing rich and realistic.
Stay away.

This is not oud. As Adam said below, you only have to check out an oud produced by an authentic distiller to smell that something is wrong with this Dior oud.
I am not the type of guy who always thinks that synthetics are inferior to natural oils, because they can be delicious, but this product is really not very pleasant. I tried it in the fragrance department at Selfridges in London and within 30 minutes, I felt like it was wearing me, rather than the other way around. It smelled sinister and quite unappealing. Almost like diesel or aviation fuel plus hot plastic and a black musk accord.

nothing like real pure oud you will experience here …
i only sense synthetic BLACK MUSK akin to the one by SURRATI perfumes =)
you may disagree…
if you ready to spend that much i suggest to visit agar aura or ensar oud ….there you can learn and experience real OUD ….

Oh wow! Got to try these in Paris and I have to say I was impressed by how uncompromising they are, this is fragrance for the heads!
An Oud of high quality, majestic, cerebral, complex and deep. A perfect balance of smoky, dark, woody spice and animal, musky, slightly medicinal tones. That’s not the whole story though because it also has facets of ambery sweetness.
Like all these high end Dior fragrances just seems to strike the right balance.
I really liked it, not my favourite thing but goes to show Oud continues not to give up all it’s secrets.
