What does Midnight Poison Elixir smell like?

Most voters pick winter and fall, with evening and night out the favoured occasions, while spring and summer sit well behind. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it classic and others modern. It has been discontinued.

Floral, fruity and sweet accords rest on a spicy, woody and earthy base. Rose, caramel and vanilla carry the sweetness, while amber and patchouli deepen it into a powdery warmth. Dior Midnight Poison (Eau de Parfum) and Lattafa Ana Abiyedh Poudrée have a close profile.
