What does Rich (Elixir) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, so this dense, heavy composition stays noticeable for a long time. It leans neither masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere between the two.

It opens with cardamom, Sichuan pepper and bergamot, spicy yet fresh. In the heart, patchouli, Thai, Laotian and Cambodian oud and jasmine dominate. The base of vetiver, amber, leather and oakmoss settles into a woody, resinous, leathery floor. Rasasi Faqat Lil Rijal and Mancera Black to Black share a close profile.
