Divine Elixir

Central accord announced by the house

Jean Paul Gaultier does not publish a detailed pyramid for Divine Elixir but announces an accord built around three elements: apricot, osmanthus and vanilla, presented as the key ingredients of the formula on the product page.

A more detailed reading according to Wikiparfum

Wikiparfum offers a more extensive list of notes, comprising tonka bean, tuberose, a saline note, vanillin, ylang-ylang, sambac jasmine, clove, coconut, meringue and patchouli, without distinguishing top, heart or base tiers.

What the label declares

The label lists coumarin and vanillin, which support the gourmand vanilla facet announced by the house. It also mentions bergamot oil, limonene and lemon oil. Eugenol and clove oil confirm the presence of a spicy note, while ylang-ylang oil (Cananga odorata) and rose ketones support the floral character. Patchouli also appears in the form of Pogostemon cablin oil.

What remains out of reach

The house does not detail a breakdown into top, heart and base notes for this accord, and no identified author could be found to offer an alternative reading of the olfactory structure.
