Elise EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Black Gold is a divisive one. Some hail it as a masterpiece of complex layering and luxury, while others find it confused, bitter, or too linear. It needs time to appreciate and may not work for everyone's skin chemistry.
Elise is Rosa Salas' own unisex oriental creation, opening on bergamot before settling into a rose-geranium-tonka base with a peppery, patchouli-flecked edge that reads sophisticated rather than sweet.
