ChypreWhat does Ella smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and it is chosen most for evenings and nights out. Voters mostly find it feminine and classic.
It opens with carrot seed, Turkish rose and angelica root, green and floral. In the heart, cardamom, jasmine and honey add a spicy sweetness. The base of vetiver, patchouli, cigarette smoke and civet leaves an animal, smoky chypre trail.
