What does Scandal pour Homme Elixir smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring further behind. Night out and evening wear dominate, while business and daytime use are chosen far less often. Longevity and sillage are both rated good, so it stays on the skin and projects noticeably.

It opens with black cherry, fruity and sweet. Patchouli at the heart brings a woody, spicy side, and tonka bean in the base softens everything into a creamy, gourmand finish. The overall impression is sweet, dark and slightly synthetic.
