My great-aunt gave this to my mom, and the scent is incredible—totally different from today’s perfumes. I saw a comment saying Jafra Eau De Aromes is an exact copy, but their site has multiple versions and I’m not sure which is the original. By the way, another perfume I absolutely loved and can’t find anymore is Boheme by L’bel; people always used to envy me when I wore it.
Hi, could you please tell me what color the Jafra perfume is that smells like Elysium? I absolutely loved that scent back in my university days! Thanks so much.
I can’t believe such a beautiful perfume has no reviews; it’s so delicious and sadly discontinued. A cousin used to wear it, and smelling it in the 90s made me fall in love. Its blend of melon, jasmine, and honeysuckle is intoxicating; it’s subtle but lingers without fading, shy yet stubborn. There’s a Jafra fragrance called Eau De Aromes that’s a faithful copy of the Clarins one—I have many bottles of that and I’m content. I wish they would relaunch it; it’s a true gem that you love and want to wear with style.
