PACKAGE, CONSISTENCY, AROMA

Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oleo-Complexe Intra-Cylane hair oil is very runny. The cosmetic has two phases, the golden one is placed at the bottom of a bottle and is denser than the upper layer that resembles more of a colourless liquid. Although the oil is absorbed fast, its aroma is rather irritating. Kerastase Elixir Ultime simply stinks of alcohol.
