Vixere by Electimuss

Vixere is a complex floral-animalic fragrance with an amber base that creates a fleshy accord. It carries a bouquet of succulent, indolic flowers, highlighting the gardenia, before turning powdery due to heliotrope and iris. Its animalic character makes it unisex, with good performance without being overpowering, and it reminds many of Xerjoff’s Opera. Although there are nuances, it could have been inspired by it; it’s a matter of comparison and deciding which suits you best, as both are on the same level.

I was obsessed with including an Electimuss in my collection, and the universe heard my wishes: it arrived via a swap. Imagine Givenchy’s Ange Our Demon but less strident; they are definitive sisters. Ange Our Demon was my perfume amulet for years, and although I now have 300 perfumes, I still choose it in winter, so I know its scent perfectly. Upon trying Vixere, I automatically thought of AOD. It lacks the saffron and rosewood charge that makes it ‘jarring’ for some noses, making it less strident. The composition is very similar: white flowers, lots of Ylang Ylang, an avainilled base with tonka bean and a powdery finish. Excellent longevity: over 10 hours on skin. Good trail, although not as wide as its Givenchy cousin. Definitely, a scent for cold climates.

This reminds me again of many things, although its inspiration is not as evident as in others from the brand. It has a basic DNA: a white floral and citrus top, a classic and recognisable iris heart, and a clean, musky vanilla base. A scent that, for me, is slightly feminine although unisex.

An interesting and very well-balanced scent where nothing dominates. It is a fairly masculine, elegant, and powerful fragrance, ideal for a charismatic man. I was impressed by the great balance between freshness and a dry touch. I recommend it to project male presence without falling into blue or fougère perfumes. The only flaw is low performance on my skin: it lasts 3-4 hours with little projection after the first few minutes.

Stunning! Very similar to Boadicea Valiant with those citrus-floral touches, and of superior quality to typical niches. This is a 10/10. It opens with orange blossom, then violet and iris give a very elegant powdery citrus touch. At 30 minutes, heliotrope, jasmine, and gardenia stand out, adding floral nuances that make it sexy and delicate. Very unisex for me (50/50), ideal for spring and summer. You will be showered with compliments, but use it with elegance. It is a fragrance for kings with amazing longevity and trail. Repeat: 10/10.
