Our Verdict - So Elixir Purple Eau de Parfum

So Elixir Purple is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some it's a mysterious, fruity-woody marvel, for others, an artificial grape nightmare. You'll either adore its dark charm or find it overwhelming and headache-inducing.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting, dark oriental-woody profile make it too strong for most offices, but perfect for date nights and formal evening events where its seductive nature can shine. Casual wear is acceptable due to its perceived sweetness, especially in cooler weather, but it's entirely unsuitable for sport.
