The review
On paper, Nur Jahan’s Elixir is a reasonable bet if you want Shalimar for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Shalimar's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot, lemon and cedar, turns to iris, jasmine and rose, and settles into vanilla, Tonka Bean and opoponax. That is the brief Nur Jahan’s Elixir is working from.
Top

Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- opoponax
Smoky lemon-vanilla haze over leathered iris; the fragrance every amber owes its existence to.
