What does The Scent Elixir for Him smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring comes next, and summer gets only a small share. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is also worn for leisure. Nearly half of voters read it as masculine, and some call it modern.

Pimento gives the opening a warm, spicy edge, and Provençal lavender absolute softens it at the heart. In the base, New Caledonian sandalwood settles in, adding a creamy, powdery woodiness. The overall feel is sweet and oriental, with a slightly synthetic sheen.
