Hi, I linked into this blog via Jezebel and I just love your writing and can't wait to read your book. Aromatics Elixir is one of my all-time favorites. It doesn't work with everyone and can be a 'difficult' scent, but for those fans of it, there is nothing else out there like it, and it hits all the right notes with the die-hards. On me it's a fully-developed masterpiece of a fragrance, as it has its bright florals, creamy boozy notes, of course the green chypre, and deep amber, vetyver, and patchouli at the base. There's a chaos to it that resonates with those who don't it safe with fragrance. I don't wear perfume just to blend in with the wallpaper. It's a mandate from a hippie childhood and being raised in part by a 20s flapper. I hope it never disappears, and, luckily, the current composition is very faithful to the original.
