What does Jasmin Noir L'Elixir smell like?

It opens with candied bergamot and candied orange for a sweet brightness, while pink pepper adds a touch of spice. In the heart, jasmine sambac and tuberose lead and almond brings a soft gourmand edge. The base of musk, balsam fir and balsamic notes settles into a resinous, woody warmth.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with nights out and evenings leading and daytime or office wear well behind. It reads feminine and classic. It has been discontinued. Guerlain Oriental Brûlant and Balmain Ambre Gris have a close profile.
