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 - Arabia Madame EDP
This budget-friendly scent punches above its weight, delivering a luxurious aura that smells far more expensive than it is. A definite crowd-pleaser for those who adore sophisticated fresh florals with a creamy, long-lasting drydown.

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.

Arabia Madame

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its sophisticated fresh and floral profile with a prominent, long-lasting vanilla drydown makes it versatile for dates, casual outings, and even formal events. While generally office-appropriate due to its clean nature, its strong projection, noted by some, might warrant a lighter hand in more confined professional settings.
