Under a hazy golden sky, I sit holding my bottle of Elixir Pour Femme from Roja Parfums. As the liquid swishes from side to side, I realize my time with this precious eau de parfum is dwindling rapidly. The remaining drops shimmer in anticipation of their final release, promising one last dance under the sun’s warm embrace. This will be our third and final summer together. Regrettably, the fill line whispers a truth I cannot avoid: our time together is fleeting. A tinge of sadness accompanies this realization, yet I’m thankful for the moments and memories we’ve shared. My summer love affair with Elixir, a luxury rose perfume that has never failed me, has been a cherished experience.
