Our Verdict - Nouveau Genre Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper dark horse, giving off niche vibes for a fraction of the price. If you’re into sophisticated, earthy patchouli with a rich, dark chocolate twist, you'll absolutely adore it. But be warned, it's not for everyone - some find it a bit too much.

Season and Occasion Fit

So Elixir Bois Sensuel Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent sillage and remarkable longevity make it a bit much for the office. However, its rich, sensual character and 'dirty compliments' vibe make it ideal for dates and special evenings, offering a luxurious feel that suits formal occasions too. It's far too heavy and complex for sport.

Nouveau Genre Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong projection and impressive longevity mean it's best reserved for evenings and cooler weather, making it less suitable for high-sillage situations like the office or active wear. The deeply sensual and sophisticated blend of patchouli and warm spices lends itself well to dates and formal events, though its earthiness can also suit a refined casual setting.
