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 oriental with sandalwood, peach, and a touch of amber. I love that it breaks the mould of celebrity perfumes, which tend to be cheaper than designer ones. Be careful, don’t buy blindly: the opening is strong and can be overwhelming. I see it as unisex.
I can only say it’s a quite strong cologne, like a woman with a lot of personality, but this fragrance can sometimes be overpowering; you really have to apply a little. At first, I was excited by the new scent… but in the end, it’s too STRIDENT. Some of Shakira’s best are Red Dance Midnight or Rock! Smell those first!
It’s a potent cologne for a woman with a lot of personality, but it can sometimes be a bit much; you only need a little. At first, I was excited by the new scent, but in the end, it’s too strident. If you like Shakira, try Red Dance Midnight or Rock first.
I like it, but there’s something I sometimes want and sometimes hate; it gets tiring. It smells of wood, fruit, and spices. The longevity is good and it doesn’t feel like a cheap perfume.
Wild Elixir by Shakira is citrusy and spicy at the start, then shifts to sweet and soft, with sandalwood and patchouli. It resembles Avon’s Far Away Infinity at first. It lasts four hours with moderate sillage. Given its seriousness, I think it’s for over 25s, suitable for work and daily wear.
For a celebrity toilet, it’s not bad at all. It projects well for an hour or two, lasting four hours on skin and six or seven on clothes. The price isn’t bad, so it’s nothing 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 ten seconds, then settles: orange, bergamot, redcurrants, then peach, patchouli, sandalwood, and cedar. It’s a lovely sweet, woody peach. Ideal for offices or enclosed spaces; it’s not overwhelming and plays well.
To be honest, for a celebrity toilet, it’s not bad at all. In my case, it projects well for an hour or two and lasts about four hours on the skin and six or seven on clothes. It’s a fragrance that’s good value for money, so it’s nothing to reapply. In my opinion, it suits a woman over 25, although perfumes don’t have an age limit, and it’s perfect for autumn. I see it as a daily wear. The initial scent is ten seconds of alcohol, then it settles, revealing orange, bergamot and blackcurrants, followed by peach. As it evolves, the peach becomes sweeter with patchouli, sandalwood and cedar. I’d sum it up as a lovely, woody, sweet peach. Ideal for offices or enclosed spaces; it’s not overwhelming and fits in perfectly.
I think I’m the only one who didn’t like it… I didn’t find it bad, but it just doesn’t smell good on me. At first, there was a strong alcohol blast that took a while to reveal the clear notes. Later, I found it basic (it depends a lot on pH). If I had to choose between Wild Elixir and Elixir, the latter defines me a little more. …I had given up on Shakira, but I bought others and found some surprises. I always insist: ‘There are no bad fragrances, only diverse tastes. What smells good to one person 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 otherwise be misunderstood. 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 wonderful. At first, it’s a bit spicy, but not annoying. Then it softens and becomes sweet. The apricot and orange blossom are the notes I perceive most, the others occasionally, especially redcurrant and cedar. It doesn’t have much sillage, but it has great longevity; I can still smell it on myself even if others can’t. In my opinion, it’s for any occasion.
In my opinion, it’s the best Shakira perfume. Warm and with personality. Fruity and sugary. It leaves a rich scent that has quite a bit of sillage on me. I sprayed it on my wrist and could smell it while walking down the street, something that doesn’t happen with other more expensive perfumes. Definitely I’ll add it to my daily rotation.
It’s a very sweet fragrance. It has so many notes I can’t distinguish any well, but it’s very sweet, like a caramel.
I bought it because the perfumeria gave me the set as a gift with any purchase. In my opinion, it’s sweet and very woody. I don’t like the first note, it’s a very strong, sweet, and woody smell. After two hours, it smells like nothing; with my pH, it just didn’t click.
I’m hooked; I genuinely recommend it. It’s super oriental and breaks the mould of what we usually smell. 10/10.
A rich perfume, sweet but not fruity—more oriental wood with citrus notes. It adds a mature touch and it’s absolutely delicious.
A fragrance that’s far too strong; I don’t find it elegant, but rather a bit ordinary. As soon as I applied it to 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… a resounding ‘no’. Longevity: five hours (if I liked the perfume, I’d be more than happy).
It smells far too strong, lacks elegance, and feels very generic. I applied one drop and had to wash it off with soap. I know some girls like it, but for me, it’s a resounding no. Longevity: 5 hours (if I liked it, I’d be happy).
I own and use it because it was a gift, but it doesn’t feel special to me. It’s cloyingly sweet; the peach note is very prominent. Terrible longevity; if I take a shower, it barely lingers.
At first, I like it, but after two hours, I’m absolutely fascinated. Initially strong but not unpleasant, it smells of sandalwood and peach. After two hours… wow, it transforms into roses, tangerine, and blackcurrants. Delicious and exquisite. Longevity and sillage are moderate to heavy. I love the bottle for its desert colours 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.
At first I liked it, but after two hours I’m absolutely fascinated. On first contact with the skin it seems a bit strong but nothing unpleasant; you can detect the sandalwood and peach. After two hours… wow! It struck me as smelling of roses, tangerine and blackcurrants. Delicious and exquisite. Its longevity and trail are moderate to heavy. I love the bottle with its desert colours and the use of ‘wild’. I recommend it to free-spirited, striking women who want to bring out their sexy, wild side. I’d give it 8.5/10.
I love it; I wear it to work until my brother tells me I smell delicious 🙂 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 average one, but I was wrong: it not only smells delicious but lasts a long time on the skin. The first Shakira perfume didn’t do anything for me, but Wild Elixir seems to be the best. I love the packaging; I’ll definitely be collecting it.
I thought it would be another one of the same… but I was wrong. It’s not just rich; it lasts a long time on the skin. I didn’t like Shakira’s first fragrance, but Wild Elixir is, I believe, the best… I like the bottle too, so I’ll definitely be collecting it.
I love it; I use it for work, and even my brother says I smell good 🙂 These are perfect perfumes for the day if you like sweet yet fresh scents. Colleagues always ask what I’m wearing; it smells wonderful 😉
The opening is wonderful, transporting me to a super relaxing place. The base notes are very soft and create a sense of comfort with the trail. The bottle is beautiful, and the colour even more so. When I was given the sample, I enjoyed it immensely and bought it straight away. Incredible longevity despite being an eau de toilette. Highly recommended for quiet, personal days.
The opening is marvellous; it transports me to a super relaxing place. The base notes are very soft and provide comfort with the sillage.

Hello, I wasn’t very hopeful, but I was surprised: it’s soft yet very sweet and exquisite. After Nina and Spirit, this is one of my favourites 🙂
It smells very delicious 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 of juicy, ripe tangerine with rose and blackcurrants so ripe they melt in your mouth. I’m surprised there’s no amber, though perhaps what I’m sensing is that blend of ripe fruits, peach, and a candied patchouli. If you like sweets, you simply can’t resist trying it, haha, greetings ^^
