What does Cool Elixir smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. Evening and night out are the top occasions, though leisure, daily and business wear all get votes. Voters mostly read it as masculine, with a modern feel.
Rose oxide opens, Provençal lavender absolute sits in the heart, and oud anchors the base. The fresh, floral opening turns sweeter and drifts towards spicy, oriental tones, with oud setting a woody ground. The synthetic accord gives it a clean, modern edge.
