What does Natural Elegance smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate: it neither dominates the room nor disappears quickly. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter the least favoured. It sits comfortably in daily wear, leisure time and the office.

It opens with green tea and apricot, fresh and lightly fruity. At the heart, ambroxan, osmanthus and jasmine bring out the floral side while the sweetness stays soft. Patchouli and oakmoss lay a dry, green base underneath. Urban Scents Lost Paradise and Sober Pico have a close profile.
