What does So Elixir (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring also suggested. It leans towards evenings and nights out, yet sits comfortably in daily and office wear too. Most voters read it as feminine.
Bergamot opens it brightly. In the heart, jasmine sambac absolute and damask rose build a floral core, while patchouli, frankincense and tonka bean absolute settle the base into something sweet, woody and powdery. Fruity and oriental touches stay in the background. John Galliano Eau de Parfum and Judith Leiber Night have a close profile.
