What does Elite smell like?

Freesia and green leaves lead the top, with carnation, water lily and rose in the heart. The accords are fresh, floral, aquatic and green; in the base, musk, raspberry and amber soften the scent with a fruity sweetness, while spicy and synthetic touches stay in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure and daily wear leading and office use close behind. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Sarantis B.U. Wild and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
