What does Arrogance pour Elle smell like?

The opening is bright and lightly peppery, built on Sicilian mandarin orange, bergamot and pink pepper. The heart is floral, with iris, Bulgarian rose, peony, jasmine and tuberose, and the powdery, creamy and fruity accents round it out. Musk, cedar and vanilla soften the base and add sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall close behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and less towards evening or nights out. It reads clearly feminine. Xerjoff Accento and Sospiro Accento Viola have a close profile.
