Aromatics Elixir est un classique chypré profondément polarisant qui inspire une dévotion passionnée chez les fans qui apprécient sa complexité et son caractère vintage, mais qui en repousse d'autres par son ouverture puissante et sa perception « dépassée ». La plupart s'accordent à dire qu'il nécessite une application stratégique (petites quantités, nuque/creux des genoux) et de la patience car il se développe magnifiquement au fil de plusieurs heures, ce qui en fait un parfum qui récompense le temps et la compréhension plutôt que la gratification immédiate.
Positif
Excellent longevity and performance on skin
Complex, layered scent that evolves and reveals different facets over time
Iconic vintage chypre with character and sophistication
Grows on wearer after initial strong opening
Négatif
Very strong projection and sillage, overwhelming for some on first application
