What does Elegance (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It wears at a moderate strength, with moderate longevity and sillage, staying fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick fall, then spring, while winter and summer trail behind. Leisure and daily wear come first, with evening and office use not far behind. It reads mostly masculine, and many also call it modern.

It opens with juniper, thyme and peppermint for a fresh, slightly green start. The heart brings black pepper, nutmeg and cardamom, with raspberry adding a fruity sweetness. As it settles, musk, sandalwood, amber and chocolate turn it woody, warm and gourmand.
