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 - Tendre EDP
Prada Tendre is a divisive wonder, a sophisticated scent that opens bold and woody before settling into delicate elegance. It's not for everyone, but those who 'get' it find it utterly captivating, a unique take on modern femininity that stands apart from the crowd.

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.

Tendre

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and 'put-together' fresh-yet-warm character make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, with many reviewers noting its professional appeal. While refined enough for formal events, its gentle nature and lack of overpowering projection might not command attention in larger gatherings.
