What does Acqua di Giò Elixir smell like?

It opens with nutmeg, bergamot and green mandarin orange, giving a citrusy, lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, violet leaf absolute and calone bring a green, watery air. The base of Guatemala patchouly and leather sets a woody, leathery ground that makes the scent deeper and more grown-up.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. It suits daily wear, leisure and the office, and it reads masculine and modern. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Sport and Memo Paris Ocean Leather have a close profile.
