Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir Eau de Parfum
Kenzo's Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir is a divisive one. You'll either find it a sexy, boozy, blackberry jam dream, or a forgettable, overly sweet, cough syrup concoction. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test it on your skin first.

Our Verdict - Viva La Juicy Noir Eau de Parfum
Don't let the 'Noir' fool you, this is a fun, flirty blast of berries and caramel for those who want to smell yummy without the heaviness. Just be ready to re-spray, as its staying power is famously fleeting.

Season and Occasion Fit

Jeu d'Amour l'Elixir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong sweetness and boozy notes make it unsuitable for an office setting and a poor choice for sport. However, its 'sexy' and 'seductive' nature, frequently mentioned in reviews, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events, especially in cooler weather where its warmth can shine.

Viva La Juicy Noir Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet and fruity profile makes it great for casual outings and dates, though its poor longevity means frequent reapplication. It's generally too playful and quickly disappearing for formal events or the office, and certainly not built for sport.
