Our verdict on So Elixir: Favourite

This EDT is a surprisingly refined, peppery patchouli scent. It's often compared to more expensive French classics but offers a lighter, more wearable experience for everyday elegance without breaking the bank. A well-liked alternative, even if it's sadly discontinued.

Its lighter, more subtle profile compared to the EDP makes it very versatile, fitting for everyday wear and casual settings. While classy enough for dates and some formal events, its patchouli-forward nature might be a bit much for very formal or sporty occasions.

About

So Elixir EDT opens with a lively burst of bergamot and a sharp kick of pink pepper, quickly giving way to a heart of delicate rose and sweet jasmine. The fragrance settles into a warm, earthy base where prominent patchouli is softened by creamy tonka bean, creating a sophisticated and enduring presence that lingers beautifully.
