What does Sortilège Elixir smell like?

Floral notes, jasmine absolute and rose absolute carry the scent from start to finish, with aldehydes adding a bright edge. The spicy, resinous and animal accords lay a warm, dark base beneath the flowers, while the powdery and creamy side softens it. The overall feel is chypre.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small. Voters lean towards fall and spring and pick evening and night out most often, though it also gets votes for daily wear. Most voters call it feminine, and some classic. Lenthéric Gold and Marbert Yesterday have a close profile.
