What does Elevation smell like?

Elevation has been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are rated strong, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. It is a dense, assertive fragrance that can sit on either masculine or feminine skin.

At the heart, musk and ambergris add a creamy, animalic softness between the ouds. The base leans on Bhutanese, Indonesian and Vietnamese oud, and the overall impression is smoky, resinous and sweet. Montale Aoud Musk and Initio Oud for Greatness (Eau de Parfum) share a close profile.
