What does Elegant Woman smell like?

The top pairs jasmine with saffron, so the floral side meets a touch of spice. Amberwood and ambergris form the heart, with fir resin and cedarwood underneath. Sweetness and a powdery, woody oriental feel carry the overall impression.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, then spring, while summer comes last. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, though it also works for leisure and daytime. Most voters find it feminine. One Avenue Rouge and Jo Adams Nile Queen have a close profile.
