Shakira Elixir fragrance bottle

Shakira has launched Shakira Elixir, a new oriental perfume for women.

Elixir, the new fragrance by Shakira, inspired by her most sensual and exotic moves. A powerful blend of all her dreams that will take you on a journey into a hypnotic world wrapped in desire and Shakira’s most powerful femininity

The notes feature orange blossom, white pepper, freesia, peony, apricot, styrax, brown sugar, cedar, musk and amber.

Shakira Elixir is available in 50 and 80 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Sounds Really Nice! The notes sound Quite Sensual and Feminine! Loving the Bottle and Packaging as well! VERY PRETTY!

      The bottle is nicely done, & good fit for “Elixir”.

    Hmm, I think I’m happy to not be wrapped in Shakira’s ‘powerful femininity’. Thanks all the same.

    White pepper instead of pink and no berries. That’s a plus.

      Would not surprise me terribly if the aromachemical used for pink pepper is the same one used for white pepper, but who knows :-)

    Good grief, I misread most as “moist” and thought they had finally Crossed The Line in ad copy! :P

    I’m not an orange blossom fan, but the rest sounds pretty nice. I think I like the box better than the bottle, not sure what I think about that. It’s not ugly, but it’s sort of….odd. It’s different without being totally strange, and I do like that aspect.

      HA! Even if Shakira’s powerful femininity is not in fact “moist,” I’ll join Poodle in passing on being wrapped in it.

      Bottle kind of reminds me of chemistry class, and of a wine decanter that I sometimes use.

        Oops, meant to say FragrantWitch instead of Poodle. And I don’t generally decant rosé wines, I suppose.

        My thoughts exactly, kind of a chem beaker/ decanter thing going on.

        I like the idea of something looking like it was used to mix up a lovely elixir, but this is a bit too bland for what I am thinking of.

        While I feel the crystal thing has been way overdone, this is a bottle that is crying out for a little more bling.

        I want a bottle that looks like the one Jeannie used to live in, dang it! ;)

          Bling, or a bunsen burner?

    The packaging and advertising of all the Shakira fragrances appeals to me. The fragrance notes sound good too but I haven’t had the chance to try any. I think I will have to order some online.
