The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Wild Elixir by Estée Lauder was launched in 2011 and crafted by perfumer Harry Fremont. This floral elixir opens with a burst of freesia, marigold, and mandarin orange, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vitality. The heart notes of lily-of-the-valley and jasmine add a sweet yet delicate floral essence, while the base notes of amber, orris root, musk, and sandalwood bring warmth and depth to the composition. Wild Elixir captures the essence of nature's bounty in its purest form, blending green and powdery accords with ozonic freshness.

How to wear it

Apply Wild Elixir with two sprays to your pulse points. The top notes will be most prominent for the first hour but gradually give way to the warmer base notes that provide a lasting comfort close to skin.
