In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Elegant Woman reads as a soft citrus floral with a powdery, musky finish. Bergamot and mandarin give it a bright opening, rose and vanilla smooth the heart, and the dry-down looks clean, lightly sweet, and feminine rather than heavy. It suits shoppers who enjoy polished, classic-leaning perfumes with gentle freshness…
