WoodyWhat does Elements (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and plum, while tarragon, juniper and thyme in the heart add a green, spicy edge. The base of oakmoss, sandalwood and cedar settles this fresh, slightly sweet profile onto a dry, woody footing.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and daily wear, leisure and business settings lead. It reads masculine, with some seeing it as classic and others as modern. Montblanc Starwalker and Lacoste Pour Homme have a close profile.
