What does Soul Elixir smell like?
Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There is not enough voting to tie it to a particular season or occasion.
The opening is citrusy and bright, with gin, bergamot, cardamom and mandarin orange, while juniper berry and rum add a slight edge. In the heart, jasmine, tobacco and cypress bring a powdery feel. The base settles into woody, creamy and smoky territory built on vetiver, myrrh, vanilla and cedarwood.
