Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elixir Pour Femme EDP

This "elixir" promises luxury but some find it a touch basic. It's a delightful, feminine fruity floral, but don't expect groundbreaking uniqueness for the hefty price tag. Expect compliments, not avant-garde perfumery.

Season and Occasion Fit

Elixir Pour Femme

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and 'inoffensive' nature make it suitable for office and casual wear, though some find it a bit "loud" for formal settings. The elegant floral-fruity profile is a crowd-pleaser for dates, but its strong initial projection might be too much for close-quarters sports activities.

Dynamic Nature

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

The citrus character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Sport

Its citrus, woody signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
