Here's the thing about Elige: if you love florals, you'll find plenty to love here. The tuberose and ylang-ylang are rich and creamy, exactly as expected.Elige
This is unapologetically floral. The opening bursts with green-citrus energy before tuberose and jasmine take over. Clove and nutmeg add unexpected warmth.5th Avenue
