Rosendo Mateu No 5 Elixir completely surprised me and in the best way. It’s smooth, alluring on my skin, and has this intoxicating quality that’s hard to put into words. There’s something almost ethereal about it, light, elegant, and quietly confident. One of the first things I noticed is how longer lasting it is compared to most of my other perfumes. I can still smell it on my skin hours later, and it dries down beautifully without ever feeling heavy or too much. This has quickly become my new favorite of all of my fragrances. I keep reaching for it without thinking. It just fits me. If I had to pick one scent to wear every day, this would be my signature scent.
