I have a mini of the OG but found the lasting power is not fantastic and the price for a full bottle is more than I was willing to spend. However, I love the scent. Not My Real Dad is BANG ON - juicy, green, fresh opening, settling into a sweet musky base that lasts on skin for more than 10+ hours. Scented Symphony once again being my one stop shop for luxurious scents that really do last!

HAPPY ELIXIR! 😍
If you’re a vanilla lover but not trying to drop half your rent on a single bottle, this dupe is an absolute gem.
From the first spray, you get that warm, creamy vanilla that feels like a soft hug. It's not overly sugary, not plastic, not synthetic. It has that dusted, slightly toasted depth that makes it smell way more expensive than it is. There’s a smooth sweetness, but it’s balanced, cozy, and grown.
The projection is light, just like the original, creating a soft aura that makes people lean in rather than announcing itself to the room. I currently have my bottle maturing as well, and I’m excited to see how the depth and richness continue to develop over time.
What I love most is that it captures the vibe of a high-end gourmand without feeling like a knockoff. It stands on its own. It’s warm, feminine, addictive, and PERFECT for layering.
If you want to smell like confidence and comfort without the designer price tag, this one absolutely delivers.

Pure serenity is pure heaven
Scented Symphony’s Pure Serenity (inspired by Kayali Musk 12) floated into my life like it had just left a heavenly day spa, holding cucumber water and whispering, “girl… breathe.” One spritz and suddenly I’m in soft-focus mode. Lotus, Freesia, and Sheer Jasmine wrap around you like a floral cloud so ethereal you’ll start wondering if you, too, belong in a fantasy forest wearing a crown made of dew drops.
And then THE MUSK.
Not an aggressive, “I tried too hard” musk. Oh no. This musk is the quiet, confident type who walks into a room in all white and somehow steals the spotlight without even trying. She’s soft. She’s sexy. She’s mysterious. She absolutely has not paid full price for anything since 2014 because she knows her value.
Once the Vanilla and Sandalwood roll in? Game OVER. Pure Serenity melts into this creamy, cozy, come-hither glow that basically says:
“I’m gentle. I’m warm. I’m adored. But I will blink at you slowly and judgmentally if you disturb my peace.”
It’s enchanting. It’s elegant. It’s giving “spa day goddess with a touch of sass and zero tolerance for nonsense.” It genuinely feels like emotional support in a bottle, the kind that somehow makes your entire outfit look more expensive.
If Kayali Musk 12 had a soft, well-behaved, extra lovable sister who reads self-help books but still throws shade with a polite smile… Pure Serenity is her.
In short:
✨ Hilarious levels of serenity
✨ Disrespectfully good musk
✨ A full aura glow-up
✨ 10/10 would recommend spritzing before making any decisions, emotional or otherwise
PURE SERENITY

THE vanilla perfume of all vanilla perfumes
Happy Elixir is so fluffy, sweet, and ethereal. I agree wholeheartedly with the previous review that says it smells like spraying yourself with gold dust - reminiscent of sunlit skin dusted in vanilla sugar. It’s so additive and effortlessly uplifting. ✨✨✨✨✨
