How does the Elixir version compare to the original Burberry Her Eau de Parfum?+−
The Elixir is much denser and creamier. While the original EDP has a DNA often compared to airy, molecular scents, the Elixir removes those breezy qualities in favor of a thick, gourmand base of vanilla and sandalwood. It is less about "sparkle" and more about "cream."
Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Yes, though it is quite potent. Because it is a Parfum concentration, the sillage is noticeable. Most users find it appropriate for the office if applied moderately, as the strawberry and vanilla profile is generally seen as approachable and pleasant rather than polarizing.
How long does the scent typically last?+−
Burberry Her Elixir is known for its impressive longevity. Most wearers find it lasts through a full work day (8-10 hours) on the skin, and it is known to cling to fabrics like scarves and sweaters for several days.
Is the sweetness too juvenile for older users?+−
While it is a "fruity-sweet" fragrance, the addition of amber and sandalwood in the Elixir provides a woody dry-down that many communities describe as more "mature" and "sophisticated" than the standard fruit-heavy designer flankers.
