Les Eaux Primordiales Elevation
Pear, hazelnut and vanilla, soft as cotton
Elevation was launched to mark the house's ten years of creation, and the brand ties it to ascension, inner movement and the beauty of becoming. The pyramid is soft and a little nutty: pear, hazelnut and cardamom, then orange flower, cinnamon and freesia, then vanilla, guaiac wood, sesame and white musks. The brand's own word for the effect is cottony, almost milky.

How it unfolds
-
Light on the surface
Pear and hazelnut set a soft, bright tone: juicy and smooth on one side, nutty and lightly toasted on the other. Cardamom keeps the opening dry and aromatic so the sweetness does not settle too early. The brand describes this stage as luminous softness.
-
Warmth in the middle
Orange flower gives the heart a creamy white floral, freesia lightens it with a fresh, faintly fruity brightness, and cinnamon adds a gentle, round warmth rather than a sharp spice. Together they feel like a heart wrapped in soft cloth: warm without being heavy.
-
Where the softness comes from
Vanilla leads the base, smooth and unhurried, with guaiac wood adding a dry, faintly smoky wood so it does not turn sugary. Sesame gives a roasted, nutty undertone, and white musks and ambroxan blur the edges into the cottony finish the brand describes. The drydown is soft, warm and close.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
A comfortable scent for everyday wear and for evenings when you want warmth without weight. It feels most natural in autumn and winter, although the pear keeps it from sitting heavily in mild weather. Two sprays at the chest or neck give a soft, even presence that stays gentle in company.
Who it is for
For people who like gourmand perfumes soft rather than syrupy: nutty, milky, lightly spiced. It suits anyone who wants comfort and a calm kind of warmth, and who enjoys vanilla when wood and musk are there to steady it. If you look for sharp, fresh or smoky scents, other styles will serve better.
Why choose Les Eaux Primordiales Elevation
Elevation marks the house's tenth anniversary, and the brand credits its founder, Arnaud Poulain, with creating it. Pear, hazelnut and sesame set against vanilla and guaiac is a distinct combination of its own, made at La Manufacture near Arras, where the house composes and bottles under one roof.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does cottony mean in a perfume?
It is the brand's word for a soft, warm, slightly milky feel, which comes from white musks, vanilla and ambroxan. Nothing sharp stands out; the effect is smooth and close to the skin.
Is Elevation very sweet?
Warm and gourmand-leaning, but not syrupy. Cardamom, cinnamon and guaiac wood add dryness, and hazelnut and sesame pull it away from pure sweetness.
What is the idea behind it?
The brand made it for its tenth anniversary and links it to ascension, inner movement and the beauty of becoming. Arnaud Poulain, the founder, is credited with creating it.
Which strength and size is it?
It is a 100 ml eau de parfum: a mid-strength concentration that gives the vanilla and musk base some body while the character stays gentle.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
