What does Elegy smell like?

Bergamot and petitgrain bring a citrus freshness, while lavender and Bourbon geranium push it towards green and lightly spicy ground. Jasmine, orange blossom, honeysuckle and rose add a floral layer, and oakmoss, labdanum and patchouli give it its chypre frame. Ambrette seed and musk keep the whole thing soft and powdery.

Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. Daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably on either. Eau de Patou and Odalisque have a close profile.
