One of the best fragrances I’ve ever bought; I’ve been wearing it for years and couldn’t live without it. It opens floral and fresh, like lemon with jasmine and a touch of sweetness, but as it dries down, the patchouli blends in and smells remarkably like Coco Mademoiselle. It’s economical and lasts around six hours without issue. I hope Yves Rocher doesn’t discontinue it.
This is one of the best fragrances I’ve ever bought and I’ve been wearing it for years; I can’t do without it because I adore it. At first, it smells floral and fresh, like lemon with jasmine and a hint of sweetness, but as it dries down, patchouli and other notes blend in until it smells like Coco Mademoiselle, just more affordable. It lasts about six hours on me without any issues. I hope Yves Rocher doesn’t decide to discontinue it.
Elegant and spicy, perhaps too much so, as it irritated my nose and made me sneeze when I first applied it, but I did enjoy its scent.
Similar to Coco Mademoiselle.
A delightful, very elegant fragrance at a great price. Girls, you won’t regret it. Balsamic with excellent patchouli. It lasts about five hours on me. Very rich.
One of the best scents I have ever used in my life.
A friend wears this and it suits her perfectly; she uses it with such total naturalness. One day she lent me her pocket atomiser and I tried it; it smells like a sweet vase and I loved it. But… oh dear, disappointment! It didn’t last a minute on my skin, as if it evaporated instantly. Other fragrances I like leave a scent on my fingers for hours, but with So Elixir, nothing. I still recommend it, as I’m increasingly convinced my pH is a nightmare for perfumes and it’s my fault they fade so quickly. Perhaps it will work for you, who knows. What a pity, I really liked it and wanted to add it to my Yves Rocher collection, but I think I must let it go; it’s just not for me.
A friend wears it and it suits her perfectly; you can tell she wears it effortlessly. One day I tried her travel-sized version and adored it: it’s sweet and floral, just what I like. However… disappointment. It didn’t last at all on me. Not even an hour before I couldn’t detect it, as if it had died on my skin. Other fragrances last hours and even linger on my fingers, but with So Elixir, nothing. I still recommend it, though; I think I have difficult skin chemistry and it’s my fault it fades so quickly on me. Perhaps it will work for you. What a pity, I liked it and wanted to add it to my collection, but I think I must leave it.
Very spicy, almost without a floral note. It’s ‘different’. Very good longevity.
Floral but not overpowering, unless you douse yourself with half a bottle. Florals usually give me migraines and feel like old memories, but this one feels comfortable to me. Slightly spicy at first, it leaves a caramel afternote as it dries down due to the tonka bean (without being gourmand). I don’t detect much incense, perhaps due to my skin. It has excellent longevity and sillage. It lasts a long time on clothes without fading. I’d describe it as balanced. I like it for winter afternoons. I recommend it if you aren’t a teenager.
A very potent perfume; it was a gift and I didn’t like it at all, much like almost everything Yves Rocher gives me as a present.
A very strong perfume; it was a gift and I didn’t like it at all, like almost everything from Yves Rocher.
