L'Elegant

I immediately think of syrup -- not of the sweetness, but the *consistency* of syrup. Spooning and squeezing it. Natural, photorealistic honey with nutmeg and black pepper = unsweet maple syrup. Really elegant. You won't smell this one on yourself so much, but others will (based on compliments I've received after forgetting I sprayed it). More youthful than the rest of MDCI's masculine catalogue. Young, arrogant dandy... light on his feet.

Update a few months in: what a perfect scent for the Fall! Such smooth cardamom, sandalwood, cinnamon melange. what a beauty! another masterpiece from MDCI! I tried one sample, then two and then realized i couldn t help smelling it so i got a bottle and been wearing it nonstop for a few days. Rich, high quality, smooth, a tad sweet. Probably better for the Fall and Winter.

Warm, spicy incense and oud, with a little sweetness coming from the honey. I'm smitten. This is completely unisex. Longevity is only moderate on me, which is not what I expected given the notes.

Greatfruit described it well. syrupy honey, but barely sweet at all, all the sweet notes are replaced with dry spicy, powdery incense -- very memorable. performance is better on fabric.

Extremely underrated complex and relaxing fragrance with mild oud. Reminds me of Nawab of Oudh Intensivo without the sharp acidic dry down. Grows more beautiful as it dries down.
