What does Elixir Blanc smell like?

It opens with angelica, pink pepper, cherry blossom and bergamot, which read fresh, lightly spicy and fruity. Heliotrope, iris and rose bring a soft, powdery floral heart. Musk, cedar, vanilla and sandalwood close it out with a woody, creamy sweetness.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most often, and most voters read it as feminine. Xerjoff Purple Accento and Pana Dora Velvet Iris have a close profile.
