Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau Capitale Eau de Parfum
This one's a modern classic: a vibrant chypre rose with a clean, earthy patchouli that somehow manages to be both elegant and edgy. It's a universal compliment-getter, proving that sometimes, simple really is better.

Our Verdict - So Elixir Eau de Parfum
This one's a true classic, often compared to Coco Mademoiselle but with its own smoky charm. It's a confident, long-lasting scent; just go easy on the trigger if you want to avoid giving anyone a patchouli headache.
