What does Pour Femme Elixir smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind, and it suits daily wear, leisure time and the office alike. Most see it as feminine, with a fair number calling it modern.

It opens with pink pepper, jasmine and mandarin orange. At the heart, Brazilian gardenia, jasmine sambac and heliotrope form a floral, powdery body. Tuberose, vanilla, woody notes and vetiver set the sweetness on a woody base. Nishane Hundred Silent Ways and Yves Saint Laurent Manifesto L'Elixir have a close profile.
