Underrated gem that was suggested to me by my lady friend at the local discount perfume shop. I got the big tester for a fraction of the price after testing it a couple of weeks ago. This is some strong stuff that could be under a designer name for sure.
This scent has the quality and the vibe of a Dior. To me its more like a chypre fruty than an oriental. Its an intoxicating mix of sandalwood, blood orange, patchouly and some deep dark peach mixed with the berries. Its just a very modern approach to classics I love like Femme Rochas and this sort of smoky fruity sexy juices.
I know a lot of people will read this and think “you are a Shakira stan, this cant be that good”. Believe me, this is good, this is something else, and for the price? A must buy!

This is the perfume that I always wear during the hardest times of my life. It’s just a coincidence because when I started wearing it I was going through some tough stuff and it was the only perfume I had at that time. So whenever it gets difficult, I put Shakira’s Wild Elixir on and I feel a lot more confident about myself and a lot stronger. And it is a strong scent, I guess it’s not only me who feels that it gives you the confidence that you need.
Thank you Shakira for making this gem!

I always new oriental scents are not for me, but I bought this perfume because I kinda liked it in the shop. However once I started wearing it everyday I immediately started to dislike it. For me, this also smells a bit cheap, which is not what I expected, it is also too strong, I prefer more subtle perfumes, so maybe it’s more just a mismatch than the perfume’s fault.

Not bad per se, but too sweet.
I like that it has something smoky and woody, but the peach is too jammy and sweet instead of juicy as I prefer.
Not for me, but good value for the price if you enjoy it.

At first, I liked this fragrance so much but after a while I couldn’t stand it anymore, very cheap scent, doesn’t last a long.

When I sprayed it on a paper strip,I liked it so tried it on my skin.It’s opening was very fruity but in a spicy,mature and non-sugary way.I could easily detect blackcurrent,tangerine and spicy peach which blended very nicely with florals.it was warm and strong and I thought that I’ve found a very good mature celebrity fragrance
Thanks god I didn’t buy it instantly and gave it some time to drydown.it’s drydown is all about woods.I don’t love fruitchoulis but I can get along with them if they’re nicely done but in wild elixir there’s also cedar and more than this,a very dominant sandalwood
I don’t like woody fragrances.sandalwood was one of my exceptions but lately I’ve begun to dislike it.so wild elixir was a no-no for me
Although I dislike it,I believe it’s a very good fragrance.if you like a sandalwood dominant fruitchouli,don’t miss it.it’s almost longlasting and has a good sillage and is a good budget friendly fruity woody scent

Beautiful and very exotic warm patchouli-fruity floral. I can pick up on all the notes but the citrus and cassis stand out, like a wine. It has a lovely dark rose spiced up with patchouli and incense. It’s Oriental for a celebrity perfume and that’s why I love it. A dry down of pure sandalwood. Mysterious, delicious, seductive, something to wear on a date to make a good impression or to dance the night away in clubs.

Although I don’t have much experience with celebrity perfumes, this one I find quite interesting. It is sweet, warm and spicy, quite a strong sillage actually. It definitely works well with my skin – the woody notes stand out and blend very nicely with sweet fruity notes and spices. Also – lasts longer than I expected.

This perfume is amazing!! I really like it!!
alex.chernicov – :
This is such a warm and cosy and interesting perfume! Love it!

This one is very fruity but mature. it smells like an exotic iced tea, very different from other fruity scents which are normally very citric or tropical. The fruit notes are really good made,they smell so natural.I get mostly peach, with a hint of orange and bergamot.
I can also smell the rose and the patchouli, notes that i normally don´t like, but they don´t ruin this perfume for me, they are very well behaved here.
People say that celebrities don´t bring anything original to the markt but this one is really special. I haven´t smelled anything like this and i have smelled a lot of fragrances so far.
It is luxurious,feminine, elegant. really like an elixir (but wild it is not). it has personality without having to be aggressive. This is much better than the original Elixir, that i found quite “meh”.
I am surprised that this one does not have more fans.
Maybe it is because it´s not an everyday fume?
I like it but i really just use it on winter, near xmas. i really can´t picture wearing it in other occasions because it is so sultry. But when my bottle is empty i will repurchase it anyway. I also have the body lotion and it´s also great.
Note:9/10

Went fragrance sampling today and since “Wild Elixir” is reasonably priced I took a whiff. Hmm, I got the fruit notes immediately, it came off plummy on my skin, but the alcoholic agent blinded my nose to anything else. I think “Rock” is a stronger scent. So its a composed fruity scent and then half an hour later I can’t discern much but a faint clean dry down. What can I say, this elixir has no claws.
omimerd – :
This is a unique one, I really like it. Deep and fruity but not at all sweet, unlike other celebrity frags (obviously), which interested me right away. Too bad it fades away after 5 minutes on my skin. Still good.
skydealer – :
Clearly my chemistry has something against any perfume from Shakira….I really hoped to come across one that would work on me….and this was the last one. Sigh…..Nothing warm or musky. Just chemical and cheap. I haven’t tried to wash it off yet because I am hoping for one of two things: that it will morph into something wonderful like the other reviewers are getting, or that it will fade as the most common complaint seems to be that it doesn’t last long. Most of her others had little staying power…so…here’s hoping.

Wow.. what can I say about this perfume.. I think it would definitely hit the ‘celebrity perfumes’ stereotype right out of the park!
This smells incredibly well made and gives me different notes with every dab! The accords, all of them are exactly what you get from this perfume.
I get sweet and spicy but not intimidatingly spicy and kind on those who have not yet indulged in oriental perfumes.
The peach, orange blossom and sandalwood are the dominant notes for me. and the rest of the notes come out and play every once in a while especially the currant and the cedar. I don’t really detect any dirty patchouli in there.
The drydown is just oh! You can smell the rose, black currant and peach and becomes slightly powdery.
It lasts quite abit and is a close to the skin scent for me but I like it that way. It is definitely a night fragrance that can be worn summer and winter.
This is the kind of perfume where you’d nver guess that it has been done by/for a celeb it smells expensive! It looks and feels like the bottle it is in 😉

My oh my…! I should have known if anyone would signature the perfect Middle-Eastern/Oriental with a modern day twist it would be the lovely Shakira. Received my 2.7 blind buy yesterday and am in love!
All day long I have racked my brain for what this scent reminds me of and have had trouble tagging it. Then it hit me. Shakira has created the ultimate bohemian/hippie/gypsy perfume! It is only slightly sweet compared to most young celeb designer frags, no candy here but perfectly sweet without overly ripe, heady but soft, a bit spicy, fruity, woody with a big splash of fine quality dark patchouli. This ‘chouli is NOT the sometimes cheap and sickening head shop ‘chouli of yesteryear and now. It is of rich, deep, very fine quality blended so masterfully with the other ingredients at times it seems to not be there, though it is very present and absolutely beautiful. I think most people who fear patchouli do so because they have only experienced cheap quality. My pure essential dark oil is intoxicating, and the best is used in Wild Elixir.
Shakira has managed to put a modern twist to some of the best of old world ingredients to make a rich hippie/beatnik, romantic, poetic, nomadic, earth lover’s frag! Yay! *does the hippie shuffle*
Now.. Do not fear. If you are not that type or my description does not fit your personal style here lies the genius of Shakira Wild Elixir – It is not in-your-face and the modern vibe going on here makes this fragrance suitable for anyone who happens to love a very gorgeous and perfect blend of the ingredients above. I do consider this to be a true orential, which most fumes in that category will often have a middle-eastern feel. It is well-rounded; nothing too sharp, sweet, sour, synthetic or cheap smelling about this scent, and it possesses the expensive quality of the famous houses. I know because I own a few and my faves are orientals.
I see/smell this masterpiece as perfectly suited for the woman who loves long, flowing, silk and gauzy bohemian wear with lots of ethnic jewelry. I also imagine smelling this on any age woman sitting behind a desk in conservative office attire just smelling absolutely, scrumptiously beautiful and expensive.
Shakira has married 60’s San Francisco and an old world mid-eastern flair with today’s world and done an exquisite job. How I thank her! If I were the type to settle into a signature scent this would be it as it fits my taste so well. I cannot do that for my love of too many but I will reach for this one very often.
(Note – I wore this today and it was hot outside. Maybe my rebellious spirit rules, but I do not follow the dictates of “summer” or “winter” perfume. I wear what I want when in the mood. The disabled man I take care of loved this one. He is my truth teller I always run my new scents by even before my husband. “THAT one… smells REALLY good!” he said with his gigantic, happy grin. I already knew this Wild Elixir is different than almost all recent celeb perfumes. All he did was affirm that.) Beautiful! This is the smell of “Rhiannon” by Stevie Nicks. 🙂
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn’t you love to love her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless– Dreams Unwind…

Very nice, has an exclusive Dior-like feeling to it. Beautiful bottle and package as well 🙂
pashok_elevator – :
On my skin this was a real morpher from the inital few minutes to the drydown: first thought, “Grape soda!” or Juicy’s Couture Couture. I guess that’ll be the black currant. Then is became predominately peach withe the smoothness of sandalwood, and a light sprinkling of orange blossom/rose. Very interesting, I like it a lot but will sample more to see how longevity etc is.
k1953a – :
Not sure about the dislike, but this is absolutely lovely with a hidden vibe of sexyness in it. Nice work!
marcheloti – :
Elixir is the Summer, Elixir Wild is the Winter. Elixir Wild has the same Diorish vibe as Elixir (thanks to patchouli, orange blossom and sandalwood mix) , but it’s much more deeper, a bit masculine, more serious than Elixir. More sandalwood and more orange blossom. I like it even better than Elixir. Heavier, deeper, thicker.
eloktrorubalka – :
This is quite different than the original Elixir.I can’t really pick out any of the notes,it just blends together nicely,into something warm,spicy,and smooth. This is a colder weather fragrance.
Everything about this frag. is gold. The gold bottle and gold juice matches the frag. perfectly.
This is the elixir,deluxe.
tolyashka – :
Smells as fantastic as the original, slightly more spicy and oriental yet still floral & musky.A must have, worth it! Love it 🙂
ICEMAN73 – :
OOOHHH I love the original so much..! I am hoping this is the heavier version that lasts longer!!! I cant wait till I can get my hands on this!!!
