What does Ebony Wood Elixir smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn, winter and spring, with summer a small minority. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and works for evenings too.
The notes read as one whole: cedar, ebony and gaiac wood build the woody body, oakmoss adds an earthy depth and pink pepper brings spice. Fresh and floral touches lighten it, while fruity and sweet accords soften the edges. Sospiro Contralto and Boadicea the Victorious 1907 have a close profile.
