Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 7 Elixir EDP
This Elixir is a proper Marmite scent - you'll either love its intensely spicy, earthy warmth or absolutely despise it. Expect strong performance and an unapologetically bold character that doesn't care for subtlety, making it a truly divisive wear.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Au Coeur du Désert Extrait
This isn't for the faint of heart or the blind buyer. Au Coeur du Désert is a polarising, powerhouse amber that demands confidence and a nuanced nose. It's a challenging masterpiece for some, a spice market air freshener for others.

Season and Occasion Fit

7 Elixir

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent, long-lasting projection and intense spicy, woody accords make it less suitable for office wear where discretion is key. However, its bold and unique profile shines in evening settings like dates or formal events, though some find it versatile enough for cooler casual days.

Au Coeur du Désert

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its intense longevity and strong sillage, this fragrance is largely unsuitable for office environments. It shines in evening settings, formal gatherings, and romantic dates, where its mysterious and bold character can be fully appreciated. Too heavy for casual day wear and definitely not for sport.
