What does Royal Elixir smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick spring and fall, and evening and night out lead the occasions. On character, a masculine reading edges ahead, with a feminine one close behind.

The top has bergamot, orange blossom absolute and green notes, so it starts fresh with a green edge. In the heart, rose, orchid, jasmine absolute and osmanthus form a floral core, with orris butter adding powder and amber adding warmth. The base of musk, cedarwood, patchouli and tonka bean leaves a creamy, woody floor. Ormonde Jayne Ambre Royal and Ormonde Jayne Privé have a close profile.
