Xerjoff Elle opens with galbanum, bergamot and neroli, settles into a floral heart of jasmine, iris and rose, and reads as a powdery, sweet feminine scent.

What does Elle smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter getting fewer votes. Occasion votes spread from daily wear to evenings out. In the character votes, feminine clearly leads.

The top has Persian galbanum, lily of the valley, Calabrian bergamot and Mediterranean neroli. The heart carries Indian jasmine sambac, Florentine iris, patchouli and Bulgarian rose. The base of musk, coumarin and amber softens it into a creamy, sweet woodiness.
