What does Elixir - Mysterious Rose smell like?

It opens with pepper and lemon giving a slight bite, while praliné and fig sweeten it quickly. In the heart, three roses lead alongside osmanthus and violet leaf; in the base, benzoin, Tahitian vanilla absolute and cedarwood carry the rose into a powdery, creamy, warm finish. Fruity and spicy touches keep the sweetness balanced.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong, so a light hand is enough. The vote counts are small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Its dense, sweet character suits cooler weather and evening wear. By Terry Délectation Splendide and Yves Rocher Rose Ispahan (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
