What does So Elixir Purple smell like?

Most voters pick it for fall and winter, with spring close behind and summer the least chosen. It has been worn from daytime to nights out. Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, and most voters describe it as feminine and modern.

Tuberose and bergamot lead the scent, while benzoin adds sweetness and warmth, and patchouli and vetiver give it a woody, earthy depth. The oriental, spicy side keeps the floral, fruity core from feeling light. Juliette Has A Gun Moon Dance and Dolce & Gabbana 10 La Roue de La Fortune have a close profile.
