What does Aromatics Elixir Velvet Sheer Philtre Sensuel smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, neither very strong nor very light. It reads as a feminine fragrance.
The top carries bergamot, aldehydes and green notes, joined by orange blossom and chamomile. In the heart, rose, jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang build a floral frame. In the dry-down, vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood and oakmoss form a woody, earthy base, deepened by spicy, leathery and animal accords. Clinique Aromatics Elixir and Gucci Gucci № 3 have a close profile.
