What does Elephant smell like?
Most voters pick spring, followed by autumn and summer, and it suits leisure and daily wear best. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Votes for masculine and feminine sit close together, so it doesn't pull firmly in either direction.
The top notes of magnolia, Darjeeling tea and leaves give a fresh, green start. In the heart, jasmine, cocoa, frankincense and coconut milk add a creamy softness. The base of amber, musk, patchouli and sandalwood lays down an earthy, woody floor.
