What does Elegant Opulence smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so this is only a rough guide. It reads as masculine.

Cardamom and patchouli set a spicy, woody base, apple adds a fruity freshness, and lavender brings a floral edge. Gourmand, creamy and resinous accents keep it soft and sweet. Frederic M Ambre and MAD Parfumeur Opus have a close profile.
