In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotOrmonde Elixir is a dark, woody green fragrance built around cardamom, grass, hemlock, violet and a warmer Cambodian oud base. On skin it often reads dry, spicy, coniferous and slightly powdery, with some wearers finding cocoa-like oud sweetness and others noticing a bitter medicinal edge. This is best sampled if you …
Reviews →Versace V/S Homme starts with a sharp splash of lime and cold mint, supported by lavender. As the fragrance warms on skin, it transitions into a dry, herbal heart of sage and nutmeg before settling onto a clean base of cedar and oakmoss. It suits casual daytime wear in mild spring weather.
