What does Gold Elixir smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Voters spread their picks across all four seasons, with autumn and winter slightly ahead and spring and summer not far behind. Evening and night out are the most common choices, though it also works for business and leisure.

It opens bright and spicy with blackcurrant, saffron, Italian bergamot and black pepper. The heart of jasmine, geranium and rose adds a floral, green softness. In the base, patchouli, vanilla, moss and musk settle it into a sweet, woody, slightly smoky finish. Fearless and Kemi Aqua Regia have a close profile.
