What does Poseidon's Elixir 13ZZ smell like?

It reads fresh, citrusy and fruity, with bergamot, pineapple and apple leading. Patchouli, oakmoss and birch tar form a woody, smoky backbone, and pink pepper adds spice. Rose and jasmine stay in the background, while vanilla, musk and ambergris soften the edges.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Votes spread almost evenly across all four seasons, with evening and leisure wear slightly ahead. Most voters find it masculine. The Dua Brand Poseidon's Elixir 11Z and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense Man have a close profile.
