One of the best fragrances I’ve ever bought; I’ve worn it for years and can’t live without it. It opens floral and fresh, like lemon with jasmine and a sweet touch, but as it dries down, the patchouli blends in and smells like Coco Mademoiselle. It’s affordable and lasts about 6 hours without issues. I hope Yves Rocher doesn’t discontinue it.
One of the best fragrances I’ve ever bought and I’ve been wearing it for years; it’s a must-have because I absolutely love 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 6 hours on me without any issues. I really hope Yves Rocher doesn’t decide to discontinue it.
Elegant and spicy, perhaps too much, because it irritated my nose and made me sneeze when I applied it, but I loved its scent.
Similar to Coco Mademoiselle.
A very elegant and great-value delight. Girls, you won’t regret it. Balsamic with excellent patchouli. It lasts me about 5 hours. Very delicious.
One of the best scents I’ve ever used in my life.
A friend wears it and it suits her perfectly; she uses it so naturally. One day she lent me her travel atomizer to try it out—it smelled like a sweet vase of flowers and I loved it. But… oof, total letdown! It didn’t last even a minute on my skin, like it evaporated instantly. Other scents I like leave a trail on my fingers for hours, but with So Elixir, nothing. I still recommend it, though; I’m just more convinced now that my pH is a nightmare for perfumes and it’s my fault they fade so fast on me. Maybe it’ll work for you, who knows. What a shame, I really liked it and wanted to add it to my Yves Rocher collection, but I think I have to let it go—it’s just not for me.
A friend wears it and it suits her perfectly; you can tell she’s not struggling with it. One day I tried the travel size and absolutely loved it: it’s sweet yet floral, exactly my style. But… major disappointment, it didn’t last on me at all. Not even an hour before I couldn’t smell it, like it just died on my skin. Other fragrances last me hours and even linger on my fingers, but with So Elixir, nothing. I still recommend it though; I think I just have a tricky pH and it’s my fault it fades so quickly. Maybe it’ll work for you guys. What a shame, I really liked it and wanted to add it to my collection, but I think I have to leave it there.
Very spicy, almost no floral notes. It’s ‘different’. Great longevity.
It’s floral but not overpowering, unless you spray half a bottle. Florals usually give me migraines and feel nostalgic, but this one is comfortable to wear. Slightly spicy at first, it dries down with a hint of caramel from the tonka bean (without being gourmand). I don’t really notice the incense, maybe because of my skin. It has great longevity and sillage; it lasts on clothes without changing. I’d define it as balanced. I like it for winter afternoons. I recommend it if you’re not a teenager.
It’s floral but not overpowering, unless you spray half a bottle. Usually florals give me migraines and feel a bit old-fashioned, but this one is comfortable. Slightly spicy at first, then dries down with a hint of caramel from the tonka bean (not gourmand). I don’t detect much incense, maybe because of my skin. It has great longevity and sillage; it lasts a long time on clothes without fading. I’d call it well-balanced. I like it for winter afternoons. I recommend it if you’re not a teenager.
A very potent perfume. It was a gift and I didn’t like it at all, which is true for 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, just like almost everything from Yves Rocher.
