What does Ormonde Elixir smell like?

The top notes are grass, cardamom and coriander, giving a fresh, green and spicy opening. At the heart, violet, jasmine absolute and Canadian hemlock add a soft floral layer. The base is led by vetiver, sandalwood, Cambodian oud, cedarwood and amber, which reads woody, earthy and smoky, with a sweet and slightly animal edge.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters mostly find it masculine and classic. Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Woman (Eau de Parfum) and Dsquared² He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood have a close profile.
