What does Mon Jasmin Noir L'Elixir smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with fewer choosing winter. Daytime wear and night or evening outings are almost level, and it also finds a place at the office.

It opens with grapefruit blossom, candied bergamot and candied orange, which give a fresh, sugared citrus lift. Star jasmine and jasmine sambac absolute carry the floral heart. In the base, white nougat, amber, musk and woods close it with a gourmand, powdery, woody warmth.
