From your scent profile
Les Eaux Primordiales Elevation is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent that sets the roasted warmth of hazelnut and sesame against the soft floral side of orange blossom.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.

What does Elevation smell like?
It opens with hazelnut, roasted sesame, pear and cardamom: the nuttiness is lightened by the pear, while the cardamom adds a spicy edge. In the heart, orange blossom, cinnamon and freesia bring a floral softness. The base of vanilla, white musk, ambroxan, gaiac wood and sesame settles into a creamy, powdery, lightly woody finish.
Longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters find the lasting power high. The sweet, spicy build suits cooler weather best. It reads as neither masculine nor feminine. Its profile is close to Andrea Maack Sharp and Birkholz Romance in Florence.
