Nihan Elixir Absolu (Eau de Parfum)

It opens with pink pepper, pomegranate and ginger, while orange blossom adds a soft floral edge. In the heart, datura and caramel turn it sweeter. Tonka bean, patchouli and vetiver form a creamy, oriental base.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine, with some calling it modern.
