What does Zeus' Elixir smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though with few votes this is only an early impression. There are no season or occasion votes; still, its fresh, sweet, woody build sits comfortably on men and women alike.

It opens with Calabrian bergamot, mandarin orange and labdanum. In the heart, Sicilian neroli, Paraguayan petigrain and orange blossom add a floral, green softness. The base of ambergris, musk, tonka bean and benzoin dries down warm, while oud and styrax leave a resinous, earthy trail. Xerjoff Kobe and The Dua Brand Frosted Empire have a close profile.
