Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ça Sent Beau EDT
This perfume is a divisive one - a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a timeless, uplifting floral masterpiece; for others, it's a dated, soapy chemical assault. Approach with caution, as it definitely leans into 'old school' territory.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ça Sent Beau

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

With strong longevity and sillage, it's a bit much for typical office wear, although some find it suitable. Its bolder character and depth make it a better fit for formal events or date nights, where its unique presence can shine without overwhelming. Casual wear is possible if applied with a light hand, but its intensity rules it out for sport.

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.
