mr.maloy – :
Had a sample of it. Sweet but fades away after 2h on my skin.
Dont see why people campare it to Lveb. I dont noticed it.
Have no much to say about this fragrance. I think Reb Fleur is better.
Chimera – :
Just sprayed this about 10min a go. So far, it is a winner..! Nice warm opening, yes, even a bit Angel-esque (I cannot wear Angel) but in a good way. There was a moment where I got a whiff of the iris and though “oh no, what is that doing here, it’s turning weird” but then it mellowed and made sense.
I can also understand the comparison to LVEB, there are similar notes (but of course this is missing quite a lot of the LVEB composition). The iris and patch are related for sure.
Will have to update later on about longevity etc, but right now it is just gorgeous. Great simple combination, feels really sensual and beautiful without being too much. I could see this becoming a favorite!

I received a 15ml bottle of So Elixir Bois Sensuel with another Yves Rocher purchase. Several months ago when I tested it in the YR store I wasn’t too impressed; but now that I’m wearing it it’s started to grow on me. It’s a typical Olivier Cresp fragrance, very much in the vein of TM Angel and its countless flankers, dominated by a sweet patchouli amplified by vanilla and iris. The opening is very similar to Angel, and it stays very sweet for another hour or so, but then the earthy-woody aspect prevails and the scent develops in that direction. I really like it, and the fact that it is so affordable is an added bonus. It smells much more expensive than it is. On my skin it lasts approximately 5-6 hours; the sillage is quite good in its sweet phase, but as it becomes woodier it turns into a skin scent.
leon.medvedeff2011 – :
I’ve almost used up most of my 30ml bottle of this scent. Will definitely repurchase it. This scent is cozy and very addictive.
Xeroxdohxp – :
I’ve just ordered a gift set of this perfume for around 15usd. The gift set includes a 30ml bottle of perfume, 200ml of shower gel and 200ml of body lotion. This is quite a deal.
I got this perfume on my radar through a colleague whose signature this is. She leaves a very lovely sillage in her wake.
gri69 – :
There are fragrances that smell good, and others that beside smelling pretty enhance your prettiness at the same time. And this is one of those. Smells like an amber stone. I would wear this on warm summer days, not like super hot but warm. It’s like you shower yourself in the rays of the red and golden twilight rays. Late summer afternoons, when the hot chilly atmosphere is thrilled by cooling windy blows. Has an alternative kind of preciousness, can be adapted on a slightly elegant-slightly edgy look.
It’s like you didn’t try, gives you an easy going noble allure.
gladkova-ms – :
I wonder why this is called ‘Bois Sensuel’, it doesn’t smell very woody and there are no woods in the note list either. But it’s a beautiful scent, and I’d say that’s more important than a logical name.
The three minimalistic components are balanced out perfectly. I can’t even say which note is the strongest. Patchouli gives the perfume its typical earthy, chocolate-like aroma. Thankfully this is neither a sharp and clean, nor a very dirty patch, but the perfect middle ground. Vanilla adds some warm sweetness and iris counters it with a fresh, powdery scent, so the perfume is neither cloying nor too cold.
So Elixir Bois Sensuel is relatively light and unintrusive for a floral oriental, which makes it a great choice for work and casual occassions in fall or winter, especially for those days when you just don’t know what to wear and just need a warm and comforting scent that is easy to wear and not overwhelming. This doesn’t make a huge statement, it’s not complicated or edible or an in-your-face sexy fragrance, but it’s still feminine and not boring.
It’s a strong like for me, not quite a love, but I’m glad to have a small 15 ml bottle of it for those uninspired winter days.
This is available for a very good price and sometimes even for free (like all YR scents), but it doesn’t smell cheap at all.
saffonov – :
I got a bottle of this free with a small yves rocher order. I love it! its got a similar vibe as angel muse, but less sickly.
Dimonchik.0489 – :
Noble iris on hippy vibe patchouli. And an harmonious dose of vanilla to assemble body and warm up. I don’t like vanilla normally. Bois sensuel is sensuel, feminine yet groovy. Lovely
rowd – :
The first thing I thought when getting a sniff of Bois Sensuel (after being blown away by how intoxicatingly lovely it is) is how reminiscent it is of Queen Latifah’s “Queen of Hearts”. Oh, it’s by no means a dupe; but they both have an eerily similar honey-boozy Southern Belle vibe. The problem with Queen of Hearts is it’s a very pretty fragrance that comes across as diluted and fleeing- which unfortunately is the case with most celebrity scents. But while Queen of Hearts is gossamer, Bois Sensuel has weight and depth. The scent itself is well balanced and hits just the right accords. It’s vanillic but not annoyingly so. It has a brown sugar sweetness but doesn’t take it to the gourmandish stratosphere like Shalimar. It has a honey-whiskey booziness, but not to the point where it has to be carried out of the bar and put in a cab.
Is it super-complicated? Nah. And it’s not trying to be. It’s simply a lazy summer evening in Atlanta, sitting on the back porch with a few friends and enjoying a tall glass of iced tea.
This stuff’s a winner. Great date night fragrance. Love it.
I also think (and some might disagree) Bois Sensuel is somewhat unisex. Fellas can totally pull this off.
dfkzxdfgdkuiq – :
It’s chilly here is SE England tonight. I’ve just sprayed Bois Sensuel and the patchouli smells almost chocolatey on first application.
Not particularly powdery, the non-sweet vanilla is creamy and supports that chocolate-patchouli beautifully. Three notes (with the iris) in perfect harmony.
This is glorious. I am wearing it to work tomorrow.
Aceton – :
I am so glad I purchased this – it’s so rich and only consists of three notes perfectly balanced in an exquisite accord. I wear it even now when it’s hot and we all know how hard is to find sexy gourmand with patch that can be worn in summer. I wish it was more longlasting, but damn it does smell sooo good, sexy and provocative.
mironec123mail.ru – :
Im changing my thoughts on this. It does not smell like flowerbomb all that much. Its lovely and very sweet.its sweetness is much more dense and vanilla like. Flowerbomb is dusty with the lovely tea note. Love them both. 🙂
forger33 – :
Most of the time YR does not let me down and again they nailed it!
Like most of my buys are blind, I love to take a little risk in life. Walking on the edge 😉
A few weeks ago my mail inbox got the message that YR was putting some selected items on sale, big discount up to 70%. And hey who doesn’t like to grab a perfume for a good price?
I spy with my little eye the purse spray 15 ml edp for only €4,- so I took the jump and order three of them.
After a few days it arrived and curious as I was I rip of the paper and start to spray myself.
Patchouli? Yes sir and a very nice patch it is.
The iris is to my nose soft but is making the patch softer, and my mind makes a switch…Flowerbomb?
I do not want to make a quick comparison.
You always need to let the perfume air and take it’s time to settle down.
After 30 minutes the patch is soft but you can smell that it is the base of the whole compilation.
The iris and the vanilla makes it kind of flowery but soft and sweet.
I love a good patch. It is one of my favorite notes. So this is one right up my alley!
Happy with this little stash I scored.
If you like flowerbomb and want to buy something kind of like that but for a smaller price you can try this gem.
It is not like flowerbomb all the way but my opinion they share the same DNA.
ivan_g – :
Simple.
Exudes warmth, comfort and sensuality.
Very down to earth, real and grounded fragrance.
Absolutely lovely.
So Elixir Bois Sensuel is the type fragrance that cradles you in its coziness.
It caresses you with its simple and comforting notes.
Very natural and SEXY perfume which comes across to me as a golden, basking ray of warm light.
Although a bit sweet, SEBS is not sugary sweet, I do not get gourmand.
IMHO this perfume would be perfect for a romantic evening or a day of solitude enjoying your own company.
Although the throw is wonderful, it is a tender, kind type of throw.
Sillage is better than average and longevity is good.
Simple, yet ohhh so sexy in a earthy way.
The patch is perfection in SEBS.
I see myself and SEBS having a very long and steady relationship.
Kudos to Yves Rocher…you nailed this one! Beautiful, Sincere and GLORIOUSLY UNCOMPLICATED.
I think this will be a go to when I want simplicity and have the need to escape the floral and sugar bombs in my collection.
This has a bit of a vibe, SIMILAR to Sensuous Noir from Estee.
successor_ – :
Testing a sample doused napkin. Warm vanilla, not sweet, over a fancy refined patchouli. Not an earthy or sharp patchouli, just a distant base to ground the vanilla. Not for me, but nutty and pleasant all the same.
VOVA994 – :
Beautiful, rich and sultry. On my skin the sweetness is very discreet. I’ve never thought that I would be impressed so much by a perfume with patchouli as a main note. Silage is moderate on me, after 4-5 it turns into a smokey, sexy skin scent.
Dencooc – :
Revisiting this scent after my first go at it, months and months ago. This has a very unusual and expected opening. Grapey. Very grapey. After a bit one begins to be reminded of flowerbomb (same musty patchouli) but this one is sooo much better and quite a bit cheaper. Iris patchouli and vanilla is a wonderful combination.
I have to add while it’s not an exact match, it is somewhat similar to the discontinued Iris Noir
Cipsbindbop – :
Where have you been all my life, Yves Rocher? This So Elixir Bois Sensuel is gorgeous! I’m not usually a fan of Patchouli or anything too Woody but this is FANTASTIC and dare I say it’s way better than Flowerbomb or Angel. Both those scents just never get past the Patchouli for me.
The initial spray is quite strong at first but quickly dissipates into a melange of woody floral and patchouli (not a lot, just right.) The weather’s cooled down to the high 40s at night. I am sipping a cup of English Breakfast and enjoying this scent next to the window. Sigh!!
klerik – :
A duet of patchouli and vanilla accompanied by iris. Smells lovely in autumn/winter, but too harsh in warmer weather. Sillage is soft to moderate and it lasts about eight hours.
I should also mention a passing similarity to Angel (or maybe Angel Muse) drydown.
ro-mashka – :
My favorite out of the So Elixir series. It does remind me of the original So Elixir, but this is a woody vanilla interpretation of it. Absolutely delightful.
Skiatheos – :
Hmmmm…. Well, the good news is, that for the price ($28 CDN on eBay) I am extremely satisfied. It’s a very pretty fragrance. Upon first spray I was wondering if it might be a touch masculine (I guess that was the patchouli), but after a bit of dry down, the softer floral-vanilla notes started to take over – although a pleasant hint of patchouli still remained.
The bad news is that by the 2 hour mark, I had to put my nose right to my wrist to even know I was wearing anything. It just didn’t last at all. However, for the price, I could keep it in my purse and reapply several times a day if I really wanted to.
Overall – I’m extremely please with the actual scent, but definitely not overjoyed with it’s staying power.
Duremar76 – :
Hey!!! I’m quite impressed!!! For not being quite an expensive fragrance , this one sure ranks up there with the best of them. This reminds me of a softer version of Thierry Mugler’s’ Angel Muse. I love this! A wonderful blind buy.
tmnV8 – :
It’s one of the perfumes that get to smell better in time. After the first spritz the notes are not quite together, but after some time they mingle together into a perfect woody-vanilla-rosy blend. I know, rose is not listed but I can detect some deep red or even black rose note here. Another note not listed that I can smell is black cherry but again – really soft. Patchouli is extremely delicate and it’s this natural essential patchouli oil that I get here, not the so called “patch” that is the alleged “patchouli” in stuff such as Miss Dior New or Coco Mad. Here it’s REAL.
At first the perfume reminds me of Avon Prowl a bit but soon the hideous note disappears while in Prowl it persists. This perfume is a really natural combination, perfect for cloudy autumn days. Love it!!!
bcq269speagoessenda – :
This is the most beautiful patchouli scent I have smelled until now. It is so sweet and the patchouli note makes it nutty. Mixed with the vanilla it makes this scent a very sophisticated gourmand.
A friend of mine has given me a mini. She had it in a set of three (together with Moment de Bonheur and Quelques notes d’amour) and she said she didn’t like it because she found it “too sweet”. It is quite sweet, ideed, but it is so nice to my nose. The patchouli note is so natural as well, very similar to the essential oil.
The sillage is pretty good, it lasts also quite long 🙂 The drydown (after ten minutes or so) remindes me of Avon’s Far Away, or at least the bottle which my mom had in the late 90s 🙂
PGSH – :
WOOOOOOOOOW! That first hit is 100% grape KoolAid. Then it takes at least 2 hours to get past that super, duper sweet layer. It may be better in winter, but it is far too sweet even in A/C during the summer. It could even be a bad blind buy for me. We shall see in the winter!
Aliplok – :
The first spray is a little weird smelling And I can’t place it, but Its a little harsh and I thought oh no this might not be for me but once it hit my skin it developed into delicious vanilla woodsy comfort. This is a great every day comfort scent for me. I will be wearing it a lot.
egen17 – :
Veeery funny 🙂 – it reminds me of my beloved Shalimar Parfum Initial at the beginning. Of course, they take separate paths afterwards, but nevertheless the memory lingers and I love it because of that.
All in all, I think it would be a classy choice for a autumn/winter evening. Longevity is good (about 8 hours) and sillage – moderate.
marat67 – :
Very nice. A woodsy gourmand. It is quite sweet and decadent. Although patch is listed it is not heavy here. There is definitely a lot of sweet vanilla and some iris. There is something almost spicey and fruity as well. I like this better than So Elixir actually. There is plenty of wood in this to prevent it turning into yet another LVEB wannabe.
There is not much iris and not enough patch to make it similar to iris noir. Great longevity and impressive sillage. Its definitely one of the better Yves Rocher fragrances.
1ministr – :
As one of my favourite perfumes is So Elixir Purple, I always look forward to Yves Rocher’s new perfumes releases, maybe I could find another gem. This was such a nice surprise, I liked it from the start. It’s very warm, amber-y like, woodsy. I definitely smell the vanilla, which is a true vanilla like in vanilla sticks not vanilla-sugary candy. I also smell a lot of patchouli, which again I love especially combined with warmer sweeter aromas. And lots of non-descript woodsy notes, the likes of which you can smell in luxury men colognes. This is why I concur with other reviewers saying that this fragrance can be worn by men too. It’s quite unisex, although it does settle into a warmer softer sweeter scent.
Very good longevity for the price – almost an entire working day – with moderate sillage. Clothes will smell for days.
More appropriate for colder temperatures, I think it will be overbearing and sticky in hot days.
canon450 – :
Received it as gift with my order and didn’t know what to expect as not into YR fragrances,so was half expecting weak watery mess………but let me tell you this was a very VERY pleasant surprise – it actually smells amazing, let it develop on your skin and you are in delicious heaven.
It’s sweet gourmand vanilla-toffee-patchouli-deep even a bit orangey /ambery even though these are not listed as notes, that’s the vibe, very similar to YSL or Lacoste sensuelle crossed with Valentino uomo – I would say could be worn by men as it’s gourmand and rich , very luxurious , who knew, try it, you won’t regret , perfect seductive evening fragrance that lasts!
васссяя – :
I love the original So Elixir, but I was expecting to find this too strong. I was wrong! I have been wearing this every day for a week and I keep loving it more and more. Sometimes at the end of a day, I will think “what smells so good?” and it’s the final sweet drydown of Bois Sensuel.
Note: As mentioned, the bottle pictured here is not the full size version. The 50ml bottle is exactly the same as the So Elixir bottle, except for the colouring. The Bois Sensuel bottle is medium brown in colour, with a deeper brown at the bottom of the bottle, sort of an ombre effect.
wim852speagoessenda – :
Since I m an ardent user of YR fragrances, this was on my priority list to test.
I expexted this version to be heavy on the woods but on me it turns into a soft version of Jimmy Choo. Though I find it lovely but I wish it was woodier…I find So Elixir more beautiful on my self…jasmine is dominant in it, which makes it very sensual.
This version smells very cozy on me. Vanilla plays a very dominant role….it overshadows the most wanted patchouli (at least by me). The vanilla accord softens the woods and patch. Still its a very nice and expensive smelling scent. I enjoy wearing it but just wanted it to be more heavy on me…unfortunately its my skins chemistry that needs more sprays of this.
I would definately rate this with 5 * and as a cold weather scent.
Enigmatic Prince – :
This is identical to Montana Parfum de Femme!
selchanin1 – :
Lots of comparisons to Flowerbomb but which Flowerbomb? Which Angel?
slach – :
the notes they don’t have listed are interesting too–benzoin, ethylmaltol, coumarin, maybe labdanum, cashmeran, maybe iso e super–and the reason it smells like every womens’ fragrance right now [early 2016] is that the market is saturated with fruitchoulis and angel-clones, all done with various combinations of sweet, caramel, & patchouli. fruit and floral optional. LOVE this one for powerful velvetiness, but am not fond of the genre in general–simply because it’s everywhere now. women: start buying green and atypical scents, vintage scents–or else this will be all you’ll be able to buy eventually…
[also DELIGHTFUL from yves rocher–voile d’ambre, tendre jasmin, vanille noire… you do not beat YR for fragrance bang for the buck…]
shadrag – :
Elegant, dark, rich, and sweet. Incredibly powerful as well. It is similar to Flowerbomb, but not a copy of it (more like cousins), and nowhere near as sweet as LVEB, which I cannot stand.
aalex-levi – :
If Flowerbomb were 10x louder, and had a baby w/ LVEB, this would be that baby.
Soooo strong. But nice.
Denepneurpale – :
Flowerbomb clone! Got a sample with my Vanille Noir and yup,,to me its very similar. Except this is missing the green note and flair of flowerbomb. Ill stick with Flowerbomb.
This perfume sure hangs around! I had a scented strip and used it then stuck it in my pillow case and i continually get whiffs of this here and there,very mysterious…hmmm….wont rule this out as its a flowerbomb cousin whom i love. 😉
batiushka – :
The best of Yves Rocher!
LINK13 – :
Vanilla bean. Iris. Patchouli. Effortlessly beautiful and comforting like a warm hug. It doesn’t just smell good. It feels good. Very inviting. It draws people in.
sam_stigmat – :
This is a dupe of “Lancome-La vie est belle EDP”
The sillage and longevity is very good. I wish I could find 50 ml size in Thailand.
qremk0 – :
Il profumo è semplice, carino, disimpegnato, dolce, divertente.
Ha davvero solo tre note, patchouli, vaniglia e iris, che si intrecciano giovani e leggere in una ghirlanda fiorita, soave e fresca.
La persistenza non supera le due ore e non c’è scia, nè avvolgenza.
Solo una piacevole sensazione di dolcezza sorridente.
Il profumo ha anche un prezzo contenuto.
Molto gradevole, quando non si ha voglia di fragranze (o pensieri…) complicate ma semplicemente luminose.
Wraplealeva – :
It’s a great iris patchouli vanilla spicy combination, very strong and quite comforting after it settles on skin…excellent scent for the upcoming holidays
macarich123 – :
got a sample with an order of shower gels. i adore those YR shower gels! anyway, whoa this is strong at first, for about 20 seconds there is an animalic-chemical scent…what the? after a bit, i definitely smell the patchouli most, but it’s patchouli in a chemical-floral haze. it continues that way and gets slightly more gourmand. from what i recall this may be similar to flowerbomb? it seems to be bordering on unisex which in a jungian/archetypal sense is good for society but the scent itself leaves much to be desired. for my personal tastes anyway.
orbit – :
First of all – reminds me of the lost Iris Noir – patchouli and iris!
This one is really good and I’ll probably get a bottle, although I’m suspicious with most nowadays’ YR perfumes – afer some time they smell the same and I don’t like it. Also I didn’t like the classic, maybe it’s time to try again.
wolondemor – :
Received a sample of this in the Yves Rocher Catalog and swiped my wrist until no smell was left, I loved it so much! I even kept the paper strip by my pillow because the smell was so divine. It’s now available in the USA November 2015, so I bought a bottle! Gorgeous, Warm, Sensual and Devourable.
mt13 – :
Strong, sweet, warm, woody, reminds me of honey. Long lasting, a sensual delight! The minute I smelled it I knew I had to have it. One of my favorite fragrances
asd1481 – :
I like it. The patchouli is strong, so I layer this fragrance with Les Plaisirs Nature – Miel YR !
Thats very nice for me ! <3

DIRTY COMPLIMENTS _______________________________________________________
A few months ago, I went into the Yves Rocher store to try a new fragrance. I had never heard of ‘BOIS SENSUEL’ and tried it out. After that, I couldn’t smell anything else.
‘BOIS SENSUEL’ is incredibly strong and loud. You can sense the dirty patchouli in the lead. During the dry down, the patchouli makes room for the vanilla, however the dirty remains – mainly because of the iris.
I got a lot of compliments from male collegues, who couldn’t believe it to be a female fragrance. For it’s price, it is really powerful and great.
Longetivity: – 7/10
Sillage: – 10/10 (humogous)
All in all: 9 out of 10 points.
P.S. some of my female collegues compaired it to ‘Gucci Guilty Intense’.
Apollon71 – :
I received a sample and decided to try it tonight. Patchouli, patchouli… too much. And on my skin: Far Away by Avon, my most hated perfume ever.
I love So Elixir, I disliked So Elixir Purple (sold it quickly after one spray). Had high hopes for this one, but no.
It smells dirty and discomforting for me, but some may like it for Halloween party.
Since mr Yves Rocher passed away, this company goes downhill, every new fragrance is worse than the previous one. Where’s Iris, Rose Absolue, Ode au Reve and other gems?
ZIGA – :
A very delicious gourmand Patchouli Vanilla scent with a hint of iris that makes it a bit uplifting and less rough-smelling. Very simple in composition, but still very powerful and effective, a great winter scent for someone who is over 25. For some reason, it has a rose jam aspect to it, which I do not mind at all because I love sweet rose scents.
Projection 7/10
Longevity 8/10
Scent 8/10
Very impressive from Yves Rocher!
кокс – :
Nice modern oriental perfume, already very discounted at local YR. It smells sweet patchouli and cosy/sexy, so nothing groundshattering new and original, but a nice warm one, less screechy than most YR. Definetely an affordable winner for winter.
Semen777 – :
An oriental fruitchouli for those who love gourmand scents.
A kind of mix between Jimmy Choo, La vie est belle & Coco Mademoiselle.
Memct623elipseskism – :
Definitely a powerhouse of a scent!! Bold, heady, and rich in patchouli..so for me, I feel la vie est belle and Si are more complex, more floral, just more for me as a thick patchouli isn’t for me..but if you like a thick earthy scent, it will work, it is very present, the base though is smoother, lighter…it didn’t waow me, because of the dense patchouli. I own Olympea which I love, this has NOTHING in common with it!!
Logan111 – :
This is like no other Yves Rocher scent I’ve ever smelled. It’s rich, it’s not sharp like so many of the others. It doesn’t fade away in 2 hours, it gets better as time goes on and it lasts at least 6 hours on my skin.
It’s not complicated but it’s not so sweet that it’s toothache inducing. There’s definitely an abundance of patchouli and vanilla but I sense the iris more than others seem to. It grounds the scent so it doesn’t rocket out to sweet candy floss territory and gives a more gothic feel, like John Galliano for women. It doesn’t reflect in the three (!) stated notes but there’s the citrus and woods of original So Elixir in here obviously as well which is very similar to Miss Dior (new). Bois Sensuel is more like Miss Dior Le Parfum. It’s simply gorgeous, the best Yves Rocher scent I’ve tried.
Nov 2015, it’s available online now, I think I paid $30 for 50 mls, A STEAL!!!
SILVER711 – :
Wouhaa parfum magnifique et sucré et la vanille hummm j’adore .Il est devenue mon parfum préféré ♥
Vestnik713 – :
A perfume that seems to gradually transform into other YR fragrances. Nothing new, but definitely not boring, either.
The first note that I caught after applying to my skin was the iris (I actually thought it resembled Iris Noir), then it quickly started to smell like the original So Elixir, but with a stronger woody/vanilla accord. Now I’m getting a version of La Vie Est Belle / Quelques Notes d’Amour that is slightly less suffocating.
Good quality perfume, interesting but still too sweet for me, definitely an evening scent. Wouldn’t wear it often.
P.S. I think it also reminds me of Paco Rabanne’s Olympea, but the salty note in the latter really makes a difference.
sasa112 – :
I am definitely ordering this with the accompanying SG and BL, and I can also tick Quelque Notes D’amour and get that for free – I love that, my mum has it upstairs but I want my own bottle.
This is just too beautiful not to own! Will edit this one later but it is sooooo delicious. Five Stars from me!
viotrekjon – :
I received a sample and it reminds me a bit of black Armani Si. Patchuli and vanilla are noticable. It starts strong and then it settles into smooth vanilla powdery scent. The drydown is cosy and elegant.
xam001 – :
It´´s similar to Dior Homme. Certainly because of the iris. A lipstick chord is perceptible. A direct hit from Yves Rocher
Alebastr – :
I just received a mini of this with my YR order and it pretty much smells like Lancome’s LVEB L’Absolu without the black currant, pear and praline and without the additional floral notes.
So Elixir Bois Sensual is too one dimensional for me. It is dense and somewhat creamy, even a bit woody, though it’s not listed and not really sweet. If you like LVEB L’Absolu (or even the original LVEB for that matter), but find it too sweet or too strong than this one might be worth checking out for sure!
kizRetrerejek – :
At last something interesting again from Yves Rocher. Several fine fragrances have disappeared over the years and been replaced with harmless tuttifrutti fragrances. It will be interesting to test this one. Might get a mini when placing an order in fall. Who knows? Hope so. The notes seem really promising.
syzdykov – :
Can’t wait to try this, I love iris. The bottle shown in the picture is the mini version (5ml), I think the bigger bottles will be the same as the other So Elixir perfumes.
Mermd110JeomiWogkig – :
Oh, I am a huge fan of the original So Elixir (an Angel/Flowerbomb inspiration), so I will definitely keep my eyes out for this! Iris, patchouli and vanilla – it sounds like my holy grail of notes! lol
