Dolcelisir

I’m a cinnamon and spice lover!!! And this sounds good I’m late to this! But idk if this or their other cinnamon one is the best?? Mehares? I believe or close to that word? Ha Also dying to smell maltol and cinnamon I’m sooo late! Does this one have the spun sugar quality?? Also does this really give off apple ? I was really hopeful about this being a cinnamon scent I would love!! Then I read below! 🍒& 🍎 I’m quite over those notes! Ugh idk why perfumers add in apple vibes from liquor or straight up apple?? I’ll have to see if I can find a pre loved bottle or sample 😢 or just get maltol and cinnamon Also? Why is it? That all the great spicy perfumes have been discontinued!!? Wonder if that’s an IFRA issue?? And what is with the cinnamon that IFRA always stops!?? Grr F you IFRA (loreal Mugler) for taking away my alien fusion! (Pls note if I leave a comment but no written reviews? I do NOT rate The perfume!!) I know Some people get annoyed but sometimes I have questions and NOT Reviews 🤷♀️ 💕

Nose Note #347 Opens with a cherry note. The start reminded me of Armaf Radical Brown (in my opinion a better rendition of Mancera Red Tobacco / PdM Herod) with this cherry and "kind of tobacco" combo. After 10-15 minutes it starts to move into the direction of our all-beloved friend Angel's Share - cinnamon, tonka, apple pie. Cherry acquires a minty bubblegum tint. I haven't smelled Hermessence Ambre Narguile Hermès, but if it fathered this - then that's a beautiful fragrance. Apparently Dolcelisir is discontinued now. Khamrah and other Angel's Share clones won't really work as a substitue for this. To me this does have a prominent cherry note which is one of my favourite. Maybe some other clones like Kismet Magic have cherry, but Khamrah is a little too sweet for my liking. Overall, amazing.

Yummy combo of fresh, juicy and spiced citruses with a beautiful sweet tonka base. Lots of powdery and almondy notes (think gooey marzipan) and radiant cinnamon. Absolutely amazing! Soooo in love! Follow me on IG: scent.guide

Pipe Tobacco done the Italian way. Simple yet exotic! Have used it for years, especially indoors on colder days, due its sub par performance. IFRA's fragocide or Brand's greed !?! The new formulation (imho) has killed the fragrance and therefore I bid farewell. IG: @Eclectic.Scents

I always think of rum punch next to candied almonds when I wear this (although no almonds were harmed in the making of this perfume) and I wear it often in cold weather. I really love this scent and I'm already thinking I'll never find an adequate replacement for this one. Unique.

Just got this! Smells like L de Lolita when layered with Lira.

THE WELL-BEING ITALIAN ELIXIR An elixir (a word derived from the Arabic الإكسير or Al-Ikseer) is a preparation containing an active ingredient dissolved in a solution with a certain percentage of alcohol. The most famous elixir in history has been created by Giuseppe Balsamo, known as "Count Alessandro Cagliostro", an 18th-century traveller, occultist, alchemist, healer, hypnotist and freemason. This adventurer, also known as Count Felix, Marquis of Pellegrini and Prince of Trapenzut, was an intelligent and charismatic charlatan. He claimed to be able to cure all kinds of diseases and, like any good alchemist, to turn metals into gold and become invisible. He committed his first crimes in Palermo, his home town, where he turned out to be a skilled forger. When his activities became too notorious, he was forced to emigrate to Egypt. Later, at the age of 25, he married a 15-year-old girl in Italy. She was the daughter of a humble artisan in Rome and had started working as a prostitute. Over the years he made friends with the true king of impostors and charlatans, the Count of Saint-Germain. From him, he inherited the formula of the "elixir of eternal youth", with which one could live up to two thousand years. In one of his pamphlets entitled "Secret of Regeneration or Physical Perfection", he recommended that people retire to the countryside, follow a diet for a month and takes the appropriate doses of his miracle elixir. As soon as the fevers, delirium, hair loss and periodontitis were overcome, one should take a good hot bath. In this way, the patient should be rejuvenated by 50 years. He died in Rome in 1795, at the age of 52. He had to appear before St. Mary's Church in penitential clothing and renounce all his sins and errors. However, he was not forgiven. As a result, he was imprisoned in the fortress of San Leone in Urbino, where he was finally strangled in his cell. Fortunately, people are no longer strangled today for making and selling unusual elixirs. At least I hope they don't! Dolcelisir is a remarkably safe elixir even if you are not going to live longer just by using it. To me, it is a tonka bean elixir lightly infused with rum and flowers. Its amber facet is very pleasant and neither too strong nor overly sweet. The tonka bean originates from the Amazon rainforest and offers a sweet scent with notes of almond, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and tobacco. Besides the coumarin ingredient (Tonka), the addition of these individual notes to this fragrance only reinforces my opinion of it smelling like a tonka elixir. It starts with a caramel cherry-cola and rum accord that is eerily similar to "Raghba Wood Intense" by Lattafa. Over time it becomes more reminiscent of "Hermessence Ambre Narguilé" by Hermès but probably less ambery and less sweet. It evolves into a narcotic amber blend with cinnamon, vanilla and bitter almond, without losing its alcoholic, caramelised accord. Although not listed, the base recalls a cherry tobacco note. The Hermés-like scent now also reminds me of "A*Men Pure Havane" by Thierry Mugler. It doesn't perform particularly well and you have to re-spray to get a full day's wear out of it. As for the scent, it gives off an above-average quality feeling. It is a natural treat for lovers of not-overly-sweet amber scents. As one should expect from a natural cosmetics brand, the presentation is quite simple. The same look and feel are shared by fragrances from L'Occitane and sometimes The Body Shop. My overall impression of this fragrance: You get a mix of different oriental scents in a single bottle, with the easy recall of "Hermessence Ambre Narguilé" predominating. However, the value for money is remarkable considering I got a 50ml bottle for €15. It is quite safe to recommend it as a blind buy... and that's what I've done! The fragrance is currently discontinued, so if you see a remaining bottle in any L'Erbolario shop, buy it immediately. Music: Roger Daltrey - It's A Hard Life

This is Philippe Garrel "Les Amants Régulier" in a scent. I feel like being transported in the failed post 68's to 70's social's rebellions, disillusioned with the state of affairs of the world...smoking opium in my spare time, while dressing à la Bertolucci's "The Dreamers", like Theo to be exact. I just can not dissociate it from that aesthetic. Ok, about the scent itself...forget warm cinnamon and rhum (and caramel), this is a liquor, yes.. but it is an elderflower based one. They make themself known in the opening, supported by bitter cacao powder and something lightly zesty (bitter orange? ginger? candied citrus?), and they never, ever leave the composition, remaining until the dry down, in a true narcotic fashion! The rhum and caramel notes are quite faint and serve more as a support for the elderflowers which are present since the opening with a central role. The boozines dies down a bit in the mid of the scent, where heliotrope and tabacco intertwine to create a powdery smoky/dry effect. But, like all the elements in here, they are toned down and muted, as if a patina, or better yet a sepia filter is applied on them, rendering them dusty, antiqued, but almost royally ancient. This is truly an androgynous perfume, it's almost pure in this characterisation. There is a bit of cinnamon sprinkled in the mix, but it is so cold...again, almost denatured. This stage remainds me so much of a Lush product, a bubble bar called Gingerbread House. Such fond memories evoked in me... There is no palpable fruity note (maybe just the ghosts of dried fruits), nor truly tonka beans, at least in this new edition put on the market in 2023...a light nutty facet is only found in the opening where it is bitter and recalls the boozy notes of Mandorla, by the same L'Erbolario, and in the end of the base notes where results more as an almondy heliotrope then pure tonka. Dry down is evocative of something even more old and aristocratic, a little smoked and powdery; the amber in it has a balsamic touch, it is paired with a smoky dry vanilla (so no sweetness from both of them) and a bit of brown sugar. The cacao powder returns from times to times, but present itself in a new facet...more mellow and lightly colored, not so bitter as in the opening. Lasting power and projection is in line with other L'Erbolario creations, from 4 to 5 hours, depending on weather and skin, quite good but nothing to rave about. Overspraying definitely helps. I find the scent very elegant and sensual, as I like to repeat, an elegance of old times. I picture someone disillusioned by the mundane and detached from reality wearing it...someone that has the means and will to unplug everything and fly away to a safari (or to his uncle's "in the middle of a vineyard" French villa), spending his days in resigned hedonism, smoking narghilè while dressed in fine silk Etro bathrobes, listening to Nico. Not yet abadoned to nichilism but surely damaged, the egemony of the status quo to much to bear for his generous, illuminated soul. The notes declared by the brand are as follow: -Caramel, Rhum Absolute -Elderberry Flowers, Cocoa Powder -Benzoin Siam Absolute, Vanilla Absolute

Identical as maasai mara by Berdoues with a heavier cherry note but sillage and longevity much worse

This is available again on the website in limited edition and I purchased a small bottle. It is very nice but doesn't last so long. I layer it with Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford and the effect is yummy. Alone it's very cozy, on the same vibe of Angel's Share but not so intense, boozy and sweet. It can be worn in spring and at the office, it is not cloying. Nice dry down and for a human price. Full bottle worthy.

It is not like a dessert, but it does give a dessert-inspired shisha or vape flavor vibe. Strong on the spices (especially the sweet cinammon), the rum is there but it not that alcoholic, the overall scent doesn't feel boozy nor too smoky, it is well-balanced. Overall it's spicy, sweet and a mix between smoky and boozy. I haven't tried Hermes, but it DEFINITELY doesn't smell like Angel's Share. That one is a lot more sweet and dessert-like. great scent!

The proposed Dolcelisir is a remarkable safe elixir. To me, it is a tonka bean elixir lightly infused with rum and flowers. Its amber side is very pleasant and neither too strong nor overly sweet. The tonka bean originates from the Amazon rainforest and offers a sweet scent with notes of almond, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and tobacco. Besides the coumarin ingredient (tonka), the addition of these individual notes to this fragrance only reinforces my opinion of it smelling like a tonka elixir. It starts with a caramel cherry cola rum accord that is eerily similar to Raghba Wood Intense. Over time it becomes more reminiscent of Hermessence Ambre Narguilé but probably less ambery and less sweet. It evolves into a narcotic amber blend with cinnamon, vanilla and bitter almond, without losing its alcoholic, caramelised accord. Although not listed, the base recalls a cherry tobacco note. The Hermés-like scent now also reminds me of A*Men Pure Havane. It doesn't perform particularly well and you have to re-spray to get a full day's wear out of it. As for the scent, it gives off an above-average quality. It is a natural treat for lovers of sweet amber scents. As one should expect from a natural cosmetics brand, the presentation is quite simple. The same look and feel is shared by fragrances from L'Occitane and sometimes The Body Shop. My overall impression of this fragrance is that you get a mix of different oriental scents in a single bottle, with #Ambre Narguilée predominating. However, the value for money is remarkable considering I got a 50ml bottle for €15. I can easily recommend it as suitable for a blind buy. Music: Roger Daltrey - It's A Hard Life

If you can't find ambre narguile or dolcesir, try to mix Lost Cherry with Honey Aoud (Montale). It will be like 85% match. 😊

I've gone through 2-3 bottles over the years, so I thought it's about time I post a quick review. I love this perfume! Well-done!! Dolcelisir goes straight to Dutch Apple Pie when applied to my uber masculine skin. Okay, perhaps a portion of the initial spray reminds me of a distant cousin to Pure Malt, but only for few second before reminding me of Amber Narguile (AN) - not a twin, but a sibling that shares a great deal of that fragrance DNA. As time progresses, this fragrance changes more into a Cinnabon type scent that pays homage to something like Musc Ravageur. Offhand, this scent sits a bit softer and closer to my skin than AN, but overall performance is average as it last 6-hours and projects moderately. Regardless, it's a very nice perfume for the asking price; a bargain! Moreover, I don't agree with Dolcelisir being labeled as a women's fragrance because it can comfortably be rocked by both men and women who enjoy these gourmand scents. The boozy notes are present, but only last a minute or two (initial spray)...powerful yes, but it doesn't rate to be so prominent in the voting since it's there and gone so quickly IMO.

I was looking for a replacement for the hard to find Farah/Haram,and this was recommended. It's close: it is definitely a vanilla tobacco type of scent. The middle dry is super sweet, which is unfortunate, but I tend to amp sweet notes, but ends very similar to Farah. A tiny bit less sweet would be great. I agree with the other reviewers that liken this to being akin to Ambre Narguile or some of the Serge Lutens Ambers. It's not as boozy or resinous as those, but the feeling of decandence and comfortable vanilla/amber is the same.

Rum and brown sugar. On my skin, all day long, this sweet, sweet, sugary scent. I feel the vanilla base but the rum note is very present for me. Sweet, enveloping, warm fragrance, excellent scent that stands out. To be worn when you want to "cuddle", when you want memories .... this perfume in me evokes the dream of distant lands, of distant times, tropical islands where these sugary mixes are found in local markets with spices, local fruits, food and colors ... Or the old plantations, as in the films of the past.

This was a blind buy after reading that it's a dupe for Ambre Narguile. It's similar on me, but not the same. There are similarities, but I get slammed by tobacco upon first spray. Other's describe an apple pie smell, I'm not getting that. Fragrantica lists the notes to include bergamot, orange, caramel and rum, jasmine, rose, immortal, lily of the valley, cinnamon, sugar cane and cocoa powder, patchouli, vanilla, benzoin, tonka, amber and musk. I get the benzoin, then I get a lot more benzoin. On me this is not "a delightfully sweet liquor-like perfume, delicate and precious." This dries down to benzoin and rum on me. I don't dislike Dolcelisir, but I would like it more if I got other notes.

BLUF: Smells very similar to Hermés Amber Narguilé, one my Top 5 favorite fragrances! Dolcelisir gets the job done! 1/5 of the price, the slight differences do not justify the price difference, at least for me. Dolcelisir smells amazing, lasts long and projects strongly. No more than two sprays around the neck, or I will suffocate! Quality juice in this bottle! Don’t know if they’ve been reformulated, I’ve bought my bottles back in 2015. Thank you to those reviewers and frag heads who introduced Dolcelisir into my life, saving me lots of money in the future as I will always have this scent in my collection.

After my second day of wearing Dolcelisir I find it to be a great scent. To my nose I get more of a cola vibe which some call a cherry pipe tobacco smell... Either way it is a very pleasant way to start the scent. After the top fades I get lots of vanilla and amber mingled with a little cinnamon here and cocoa there. The other notes listed I don't get a significant wiff of but there is something in addition that I can't place that pops up.... I can't compare it to Hermessance Ambre Narguile due to never having put my nose on that juice, but I find Dolcelisir to be great. It does lean slightly more feminine to me than Meharees (which is awesome as well) but no less awesome for me and a total winner especially for $37 dollars US for 100 ml (I got lucky LOL!). Enjoy!

@sonyaspyczak Do you think the performance has changed from the very first bottles you've bought 10 years ago and the recent? Because I tested this few months ago and performance was very poor.

Have been wearing this perfume for 10 years! Since I've found it in a market in Florence, Italy. It is absolutely unique - sweet, warm, rounded, sexy and everyone will recognize the beautiful smell as soon as you enter the room! My favourite hints were of honey and cinnamon - and I do fully agree with whoever describe it as smelling like an apple pie fresh out of the oven. Unfortunately, l'Elbolario has stopped its production! I am heartbroken.

The most natural smelling 'cologne' I've ever come across. First of all, this is similar to Tabac Rouge of Phaedon. I don't think it is an alternative to Ambre Narguille. We have a candy called Akide here in Turkey Ambre Narguille smells pretty much like Akide so I can't be wrong. This one, on the other hand, has a cherry pipe tobacco vibe done right. I was about to buy it without testing it but I found it in a mall and decided to spray it on my right wrist and on my left hand. Glad that I did. After an hour I couldn't even smell it on my hand. My wife said 'I smell nothing on you'. Too bad that it has an eau-de-cologne performance. Otherwise, it is an amazing juice but I don't need a cologne but a perfume which lasts at least a few hours and projects a bit. The lack of performance is a bummer.

This is very nice. I would call it a gourmand oriental. Caramel, orange, cinnamon and resins. It reminds me of some sort of boozy dessert maybe Italian rum cake. Great for autumn.

A Delicious Honey Tobacco scent there's a warmth that perhaps its cognac or Rum imparts... I bought it because Hermes Amber Narguille is far too expensive....I was lucky to get Hermes as a gift Dolcelisir does indeed smell like Hermes Amber Narguille... It also smells like Farah by Brecourt Dolce has a powdery dryness that Farah doesn't I'm very happy to own all three now.

Wow this perfume was a surprise! On my extremely dry skin it smells at first like vanilla but within ten minutes changes to a sexy amber powdery scent with a hint of something deeper. It actually is a strong scent on me which never happens with vanilla sweet scents. This is very elegant and sexy scent! I love it!

this is sweet fruity, balsamic, and warm sugary scent. opening is like punch of syrupy cherry with a hint of airy alcoholish (?) opening and mid only last 2-3hrs on my skin then becomes powdery vanilla scent for about 6-7hrs. projection is pretty good within 2hrs. i constantly catch a whiff of it. i have mixed feelings about this fragrance, sometimes i feels girly because of syrupy sweetness, sometimes i feels like an old man because of balsamic nature. i dont know wether i like it or not, because it leans to girlish grandpa lol. still, smells average IMO. but i think i need to test it for more several times. Scent: 6.5 Longetivity: 9 (9-10hrs) projevtion: 7.5 (2hrs) sillage: 7.5 (soft to moderate)

The opening is just yummy because of premium gold rum that obtains its flavor through the addition of mild cinnamon and dark caramel. This juice is so gourmand and delicious that you wanna drink it. But after a while gourmand notes get a little bit weaker, floral and citrus notes appear and make the whole composition less drinkable, but more imaginative. This perfume has got its unique charm, that lies in a harmony of gourmand, floral and spicy notes.

Now look it is very similar ro bogart pour homme wich i own and like very much. But!!! This is more cherry and butifull Sweat fresh and natural tobacco Althou they are very similar this is more Unisex then bogart and i have to say The quality is just super super good. I gift it to my wife couse she love Vanilla but this was a good suprise couse she like it very much but there is not much Of a vanilla with all the spices around. its the best natural verginia tabacco smell i ever came across. Performence very good 10 hours.. Enjoy

The first sweet / sugary frag i do like. Really nice balance, this does not come with the tacky candy feeling i hate. Beautiful bargain fragrance. The saver is like a Serge Lutens, simple and beautiful.

Very similar to Oajan by Perfume de Marly but 1/5 of the price! Excellent quality and longevity. Worth a try!
