What does Amber Elixir smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring following and summer chosen least. It is worn from daytime and leisure to the office and evening, and most voters find it feminine.

Red grape, mandarin orange and blackcurrant give the opening a fruity brightness. In the heart, peony, heliotrope and almond bring a floral, powdery softness with a gourmand edge. Sandalwood, amber and musk leave a sweet, warm woodiness at the base, while spicy and synthetic tones stay in the background. Christina Aguilera Glam X and Mugler Innocent share a close profile.
