Mauboussin - Elixir Pour Elle 100ml (3.3 Fl Oz) - Eau de Parfum for Women - Floral & Oriental Scents

I have been buying this perfume for a few years now. Came across it on Amazon and took a gamble as I had never heard of it before. Its a beautiful fragrance long lasting at a great price.

This was a blind buy and I’m not disappointed!It smells like Lancome La Vie Est Belle but not as loud as it doesn’t have the overwhelming patchouli (I have LVEB). It also smells like Valentino Donna although the rose in this is not as strong as in Donna.This is a very sophisticated sent, perfect for work because everyone would like it so non offensive and it’s not too strong. Maybe it’s the woody note that changed the composition along with the fresh, clean, sweet and crisp slightly citrus like opening which La Vie Est Belle is not. The patchouli in LVEB is just too much which makes it heavy and dirty.The dry down is more of a praline, woody gourmand (like LVEB) which I love! Such a beautiful fragrance, it smells very expensive, so perfectly crafted and smoothly blended. This lasts only a day on my clothes and I sprayed 3 sprays. This could easily be worn on a date because it’s sexy (that gourmand woody dry down- subtle oud) too just spray 4/5 sprays so it’s stronger and with the price we can spray more 😊I received it in 2 days which was sooner than was expected.The plastic around the perfume box had a tear in it but that doesn’t take away from the delicious juice inside.

Smells amazing

Lovely packaging, lovely bottle but for me that was it. I'm no way a perfume expert but this perfume is very heavy and overpowering and the smell is old fashioned, 80s comes to mind. I sprayed a small amount on when It arrived (at 4pm) and it lasted till next day even after a shower.Its ironical, if I had loved the smell it probably would have disappeared in a couple of hours lol. I will maybe try another of their perfume's, because if I had liked this one it would have been a great bargain considering the size, longevity and price of this item.

A great perfume in the most gorgeously made bottle and it lasts and lasts. I do like Mauboussin perfumes and will be buying more.

If you like Angel, Euphoria, Alien or the old Poison before it was changed you will LOVE this EDP.This EDP is made in France and you can tell.The quality of the bottle is top end and the longevity and depth of the EDP is absolutely sublime.Don't believe me got to fragantica website and look at the reviews, this is where I discovered this perfume recommended.Sillage is immense, the fruit and pepper burst at the beginning dries down to a rich wood with a creamy subtle dark fruit/oriental floral finish.I absolutely LOVE this, it has subtle staying power and for the price it is an absolute mega bargain.Rich and sexy. Very early 80's in depth, staying power and fragrance quality. Very French!Just cannot believe the price. I just bought two more different fragrances from the brand based on this bottle and the more reviews from fragrantica.Just try it and you will see. Shouldn't really be writing this in case the price goes up upon 'mass discovery' but at 100ml... I am good for a while. Enjoy.

Lovely bottle however the fragrance only last for a few minutes and just fails away….

Perfect perfume for an evening out . Lasting in fragrance and very delicate on the senses. Beautiful aroma. Great value for money
