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 - Colour Me Green EDP
This budget-friendly gem punches well above its weight. It's a fresh, versatile crowd-pleaser for everyday wear, though a heavy hand can make it a bit much. Excellent value for money, despite the aerosol sprayer shenanigans.

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.

Colour Me Green

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh opening and moderate projection make it suitable for office wear, especially when applied sparingly. The versatile fresh-woody profile works well for casual daytime use, with some reviewers even finding it suitable for warmer climates. The longevity can make it less appropriate for formal settings, where a more subtle scent might be preferred.
