Which Should You Buy?
A magnetic, ambery leather powerhouse with plush sweetness and smoky warmth - the most opulent, seductive Code yet. Not for the timid, Elixir is darkly addictive and perfect for making a statement on cold nights.
Symphonium is an extravagant gourmand that splits opinion - some find it an opulent chocolate orange dream, others a fleeting delight that dries down to an overpriced Pink Sugar imitation. It's a high-quality, cold-weather statement, but be warned, the incredible opening doesn't always last.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
With its opulent amber, thick leather, and sweet roasted tonka, Elixir excels in cold weather, where its warmth and boldness shine. It's too dense for hot summer days but can work in spring evenings and is perfect for autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its assertive projection and sensual, leathery amber character make Elixir best for dates and formal events where you want to stand out. It's too bold and rich for the office or sports, but can work for upscale casual nights.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and long-lasting gourmand nature make it a poor fit for office or gym. It shines on dates and formal events, particularly in colder weather, where its luxurious warmth can truly be appreciated.
