Our verdict on So Elixir: Acquired

This one's a true classic, often compared to Coco Mademoiselle but with its own smoky charm. It's a confident, long-lasting scent; just go easy on the trigger if you want to avoid giving anyone a patchouli headache.

About

A luminous blend of bergamot and jasmine opens the show, before settling into a heart of rich, earthy patchouli and sensual rose. A mysterious incense note weaves through, deepened by sweet tonka bean and a warm, balsamic amber base. It's sophisticated and alluring, a true floriental with a modern edge.
