What does Elixir smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind; summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards nights out, evenings and leisure time. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, and it reads mostly as feminine.

Neroli and mandarin orange give it a bright opening, while Lebanese iris builds a powdery heart. In the base, benzoin, amberwood and myrrh sweeten and warm the scent, with the creamy, woody side taking over. Giorgio Armani Terra di Gioia and Lacoste Pour Femme Elixir have a close profile.
