What does 9pm Elixir smell like?

It opens with cardamom, nutmeg and elemi resin, giving a spicy, lightly resinous start. The heart brings pimento, leather and Provençal lavender, and the base of cistus, vanilla, patchouli and labdanum settles it into a sweet, gourmand, woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, with night out and evening the leading occasions. It reads more masculine than feminine, though it is classed as unisex. Lattafa Ameer Al Oudh Intense Oud and Câline Oud Extreme have a close profile.
