What does Borsalino pour Elle (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with bergamot, carrot seed and cedar, a fresh and lightly spicy start. The heart of iris, jasmine sambac and lotus gives a floral, powdery body. In the base, amber, white musk and ambrette seed soften it into a gently sweet, woody warmth.

Voters find both longevity and sillage moderate. Most pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind. It suits daytime and the office best, with evening wear getting fewer votes. Gritti Rialto and Lubin Princesses de Malabar have a close profile.
