Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elixir 11 EDP
This one is a proper 'love it or hate it' scent, no two ways about it. Expect compliments from its admirers and raised eyebrows from those who find its rose and patchouli combo a bit much. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Symbol Royal EDP
A divisive one, this. Symbol Royal is for those who love a rich, decadent scent with a syrupy sweetness, but it certainly isn't for everyone. Expect a mature, amber-heavy vibe with a fruity opening.

Elixir 11

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:

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

Occasions

Best For:

Best For:
Autumn

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While some enjoy its versatility, the rich, sweet, and amber-heavy profile of Symbol Royal, combined with reported solid longevity, suggests it could be too much for an office. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its 'classy and mature' character can be appreciated.
