Her Elixir
A gourmand woody oriental fragrance built around pink pepper, almond, tonka bean, sandalwood, musk. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Her
Opens with a sharp, almost candied burst of strawberry and sour cherry — more lip-gloss than fresh fruit — before violet softens the edge and jasmine nudges it toward something warmer. The heart never fully goes floral; the gourmand pull is too strong, dragging everything toward vanilla and amber with a quiet patchouli hum underneath. Oud is present but restrained, adding shadow rather than smoke. Dry-down is cozy and skin-close, with musk and vanilla dominating. Projection is moderate; sillage lingers without announcing itself — Best worn in cold weather by someone who wants sweet without going full dessert.
How they overlap
Her Elixir and Her share 2 notes (musk, amber). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (4 unique to Her Elixir, 7 unique to Her) are where the divergence happens.
