What does Eau d'Elide smell like?

Bitter orange leads at the start and gives way to lavender in the heart. Musk sits at the base and softens everything. The fruity and floral sides are balanced by sweetness, a faint oriental warmth stays in the background, and the powdery feel carries through to the end. It is neither heavy nor sharp, with a simple, aromatic build. Bastide Lin and D. R. Harris Old English Lavender Water have a close note and accord profile.
