About Elie Saab Elixir EDP
Elie Saab is the house behind Elixir EDP. It comes as Eau de Parfum.
What Elixir costs
The usual price in Europe is about €79. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs more than Prada Infusion Iris Cedre but less than Prada Infusion d'Iris and Prada Infusion Variety.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. It lasts longer than Prada Infusion d'Iris and Prada Infusion Variety. Base notes like amberwood and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Elie Saab perfumes worth knowing
The house has 24 perfumes here, led by Girl Of Now, Variety and Le Parfum.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Amouage Reflection 45 spreads further.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark. For daytime, Prada Infusion d'Iris is a lighter match.
