Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
For an EDT, it lasts well and really projects. It’s an oriental scent with sandalwood, peach, and a touch of amber. I love that it breaks the mold of celebrity perfumes, which tend to be cheaper than designer ones. Just be careful: don’t buy blindly; the opening is strong and can be overwhelming. I see it as unisex.
It’s a powerful women’s cologne with a lot of personality, but sometimes it’s too much; you have to apply very little. At first, I was excited about the new scent, but in the end, it’s too strident. If you like Shakira, try Red Dance Midnight or Rock first.
I can only say it’s quite a strong cologne, like a woman with a lot of personality, but this perfume can sometimes be overwhelming, you really have to put on a little… At first I got excited about the new scent… But in the end it’s too L A U G H I N G, something good from Shakira is Red Dance Midnight or Rock! Smell those first!
I like it, but there’s something I sometimes want and sometimes hate; it gets tiring. It smells of wood, fruits, and spices. The longevity is good, and it doesn’t seem like a cheap perfume.
Wild Elixir by Shakira is citrusy and spicy at first, then shifts to sweet and soft, with sandalwood and patchouli. It reminds me of Avon’s Far Away Infinity at the start. It lasts about 4 hours with moderate sillage. Given its serious vibe, I think it’s for those over 25, perfect for work and daily wear.
For a celebrity EDT, it’s not bad at all. It projects well for an hour or two, lasting 4 hours on skin and 6 or 7 on clothes. The price isn’t bad, so it’s easy to reapply. To my taste, it’s for women over 25, ideal for autumn. I see it as daily and daytime wear. Upon spraying, it smells of alcohol for 10 seconds, then settles: orange, bergamot, blackcurrant, then peach, patchouli, sandalwood, and cedar. It’s a nice sweet, woody peach. Perfect for offices or enclosed spaces; it’s not overpowering and blends well.
To be honest, for a celebrity toilette it’s not bad at all. In my case, it has good projection for one or two hours and lasts about 4 hours on skin and 6 or 7 on clothes. It’s a fragrance that’s not bad for the price, so it costs nothing to reapply. For my taste, it’s for a woman over 25, although perfumes never have an age, and it goes great for autumn. I see it as a daily wear. The scent starts with 10 seconds of alcohol, then it settles and the orange with bergamot and blackcurrants appear, followed by the peach. As it evolves, it settles into a sweet peach with patchouli, sandalwood, and cedar. I’d summarize it as a beautiful, sweet, woody peach. Ideal for offices or indoor places, it’s not overwhelming and fits perfectly.
I think I might be the only one who doesn’t like it. It’s not a bad perfume, but it just doesn’t smell good on me. It comes out with a lot of alcohol and takes a while to reveal its true notes. Later, it feels pretty basic, which depends heavily on skin pH. If I had to choose between Wild Elixir and Elixir, the latter defines me more. I had given up on Shakira, but after buying others, I found some surprises. I always say: there are no bad fragrances, only different tastes. Style is personal. But it’s important to share experiences to learn and refine our sense of smell, which can sometimes be misunderstood. Personally, Shakira is better positioned than Carolina Herrera on my list; CH is overrated, they are pleasant but not dazzling scents.
I think I’m the only one who didn’t like it… I didn’t find it bad either, but it just doesn’t smell good on me. At first, there was a lot of alcohol projection that took a while to reveal the clear notes. Then I felt it was basic (depends a lot on pH). If I had to choose between Wild Elixir and Elixir, the latter defines me a bit more. …I had given up on Shakira, but I bought others and found surprises. I always insist: ‘There are no bad fragrances, only diverse tastes, what smells good to one isn’t a general rule, style is personal’. …But it’s also important to share experiences to learn and acquire more dedicated scents that could be misinterpreted. In any case, personally, Shakira is better positioned than Carolina Herrera on my list; CH is overpriced for fragrances that aren’t dazzling, just good.
My husband gifted me this perfume yesterday. What can I say? I LOVE IT! It smells amazing. At first, it’s a bit spicy, but not unpleasant. Then it softens and becomes sweet. The peach and orange blossom notes are the ones I perceive most, with others showing up occasionally, especially raspberry and cedar. It doesn’t have much of a trail, but it has great longevity; I can still smell it on myself even if others can’t. In my opinion, it’s suitable for any occasion.
In my opinion, it’s Shakira’s best perfume. Warm and full of personality. Fruity and sugary. It leaves a rich scent that projects well on my skin. I sprayed it on my wrist and while walking down the street, I could keep smelling it, something that doesn’t happen with other, more expensive perfumes. Definitely, I’m adding it to my daily rotation.
It’s a very sweet fragrance. It has so many notes that I can’t distinguish any of them well, but it’s very sweet, like caramel.
I bought it because the store gave me the set as a gift with any purchase. In my opinion, it’s sweet and very woody. I don’t like the opening note; it’s a very strong, sweet, and woody scent. After two hours, it smells like nothing; it just didn’t work with my skin chemistry.
It kicks my ass, I really recommend it. It’s super oriental and breaks the mold of what we usually smell. 10/10.
It’s a rich perfume, sweet but not fruity; it’s oriental wood with citrus. It gives a mature touch and it’s amazing.
A perfume that’s too strong, I don’t feel it’s elegant, but rather a somewhat common aroma. As soon as I applied it on my arm, I ran to wash it off with lots of soap. I know some girls like it and I wanted to give it a chance but no… a resounding ‘no’. Longevity: 5 hours (if I liked the perfume I’d be more than happy)
I have it and use it because it was a gift, but I don’t think it’s special. It’s overly sweet, you can tell the peach a lot. Terrible longevity, if I shower it barely lingers.
It smells way too strong, nothing elegant, feels generic. I put one drop on and had to wash it off with soap. I know some girls like it, but for me, it’s a definite no. Longevity: 5 hours (if I liked it, I’d be happy).
I like it at first, but after two hours I’m completely obsessed. At first it’s strong but not unpleasant, it smells like sandalwood and peach. After two hours… wow, it smells like roses, tangerine, and black currants. Delicious and exquisite. Longevity and trail are moderate-to-heavy. I love the bottle for its desert colors and ‘wild’ design. I recommend it to free-spirited, striking women who want to be sexy and wild. I’d give it 8.5/10.
I like it at first, but after two hours I’m absolutely obsessed. At first contact with the skin it seems a bit strong but nothing ugly; you can detect the sandalwood and peach. After two hours… wow! It hit me hard because it smells like roses, tangerine, and blackcurrants. Delicious and exquisite. Its longevity and sillage are moderate-to-heavy. I love the bottle with its desert colors and the use of ‘wild’. I recommend it to free-spirited, striking women who want to bring out their sexy and wild side. I’d give it an 8.5/10.
I thought it would be another one, but I was wrong: it doesn’t just smell good, it lasts forever on the skin. The first Shakira didn’t do anything for me, but Wild Elixir seems to be the best. I love the packaging, I’m sure I’ll collect it.
I love it, I wear it to work until my brother tells me I smell good 🙂 These are perfect perfumes for the day if you like sweets but fresh. Colleagues always ask what perfume I’m wearing, it smells great 😉

I thought it would be another one… but no, I was wrong. It’s not only delicious but lasts a long time on the skin… the first Shakira perfume I didn’t like, but Wild Elixir is probably the best.. I like the packaging, I’ll surely collect it
The opening is wonderful, it transports me to a super relaxing place. The base notes are very soft and give a sense of comfort with the trail. The bottle is gorgeous and the color even more so. When they gave me the sample, I enjoyed it so much I bought it on the spot. Incredible longevity despite being an eau de toilette. Highly recommended for quiet, personal days.

Hi, I didn’t have much faith in it but I was surprised: it’s soft but very sweet and exquisite. After Nina and Spirit, it’s one of my favorites 🙂
It smells really good and is different from other celebrity perfumes. I like that it’s a mature sweetness, not the typical vanilla. Good job, Shakira!
It’s very gourmand. Smells like juicy, ripe tangerine with rose and blackcurrants so ripe they melt in your mouth. I’m surprised there’s no amber, though maybe what I’m sensing is that mix of ripe fruits, peach, and a candied patchouli. If you like sweets, you can’t stop trying it lol, greetings ^^
