NaturELLE Mira EDP by Elle Parfums

I received a complimentary bottle of NaturELLE Mira Eau De Parfum by Elle Parfums to try out and review for being part of the Superdrug Community.

The perfume comes packaged in a plastic-free recycled cardboard box with floral photography as background; an outline cut-out of the bottle displayed in the centre. The pink-tinted perfume is encased in a simple (but by no means boring) clear glass bottle with a sticker that displays the fragrance name, brand and main notes on the front, mimicking the colour scheme and print of the box. The wooden cap draws on the natural theme, and the light colour scheme gives the bottle a refined, elegant look. 

NaturELLE Mira Eau De Parfum's notes are as follows:

• Top - Blackcurrant, Mandarin, Praline
• Mid - Freesia, Cocoa, Jasmine and Sambac
• Base - Vanilla, Vetiver Oil Haiti ‘For Life’ and Patchouli Heart

Upon first spray it smells sweet and fruity, with the citrus from the Mandarin being the most perceivable out of the two fruit notes. Also noticeable is a a hint of nutty Praline.

It quickly evolves into a fresh floral with standout notes of strawberry-like Freesia as well as Cocoa tones. A light nutty trail remains through the heart notes of the fragrance. 

The base is comprised of warm, creamy Vanilla with a prevailing blend of Praline and Cocoa which is very comforting, almost reminiscent of a hot cup of chocolate malted milk. I can also perceive a whisper of a grounding woody essence, provided by the Vetiver Oil. The Patchouli is not noticeable on my skin (which isn't necessarily a bad thing as personally, I'm not that keen on it) but I really enjoy the blend of the most prominent notes on me. 

Each fragrance in the NaturELLE range champions a different project and the Mira program supports the education of young girls in Madagascar where Elle sustainably sources the Vanilla for their fragrances. The Mira program ensures that young girls are provided with the necessary equipment to attend school. 

This perfume could be classed as a natural or "skin" scent, so doesn't seem very strong or long lasting, however, I don't mind reapplying, especially since it is an affordably priced fragrance at £50 for 100ml and is currently half price at Superdrug.

NaturELLE Mira EDP by Elle Parfums is a soft fragrance, great for daytime and warmer weather as it will not be overpowering. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys a delicate, floral-gourmand aroma or is looking for a subtle new perfume to wear during the day which is socially responsible as well. 

I truly enjoy NaturELLE Mira Eau de Parfum and desire to try the rest of the perfumes in this collection as they also sound beautiful and I would feel good knowing that Elle supports several communities across the globe with their social programs.
