What does Orlov Elixir smell like?

The notes have no top, heart and base split, so it reads as one whole. Jasmine, tuberose, orange blossom and iris build a floral core, while vanilla and amber sweeten it and add a resinous, spicy warmth.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a small share. Night out and evening are the leading occasions, followed by leisure and business. Henry Jacques Myosotis and Boucheron Boucheron have a close profile.
