Scent of a Songstress

International singer Shakira channels an exoticness often associated with her own personal image for the new fragrance Elixir. This scent captures a worldly influence, having been inspired by a Moroccan sandscape at sunset. A sensual story of femininity unfolds as the opening notes of Neroli flower and white pepper provides freshness. The flavor is enriched with a floral heart of freesia and peony infused by ‘apricot skin’ accord. A little heat is added when elements of benzoin and sugar cane, mixed with white cedar wood, musk and warm amber combine to create the bottom note. Elixir by Shakira is available for purchase at Kohl's and Sears retailers at price points of $29 - $36 USD, depending on size.
