Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - So Elixir Purple EDP
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - LL142 Bergamote 22 EDP
LL142 captures the sharp, high-energy bergamot-vetiver blend of Bergamote 22 well for an opening burst, but the citrus fades noticeably faster than the original and settles into a simpler musk-cedar base rather than the more architectural woody-amber finish.

Season and Occasion Fit

So Elixir Purple

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.

LL142 Bergamote 22

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A bright citrus-woody cologne built for warm-weather, daytime wear.

Occasions

Also Works:
Office Casual

Clean and energetic enough for office wear and casual days; too light to carry a formal or evening occasion.
