What does Black Forest Elixir smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are still tentative. It reads suitable for both men and women and sits close to an everyday scent.

The top notes of white peach, orange, mandarin orange and bergamot give a citrusy, fruity freshness. Towards the heart, orange blossom and lily of the valley add a soft floral touch while vetiver lays a woody floor. In the base, vanilla, patchouli, musk and ambroxan sweeten it and pull it towards a creamy warmth. Avapari Amara and Cacharel Liberté have a close profile.
