What does Elite Gentleman (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with vervain, tonic water and bergamot, fresh with a slightly bitter edge. In the heart, cardamom, basil and nutmeg add a spicy, green note. The base of frankincense, cognac and cedarwood settles into something woody, sweet and faintly smoky, with fruity and gourmand accords supporting the sweetness.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a modest presence. It is marketed as a men's scent. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative. Jacques Bogart Bogart Citytower and Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan Untamed have a close profile.
