So Elixir Purple Eau de Parfum presents a distinctive, multifaceted scent characterized by a bright, sparkling opening dominated by bergamot and a pronounced grape-like accord, which some users describe as reminiscent of bubblegum or grape soda. This initial effervescence quickly evolves into a richer, more complex base featuring well-blended patchouli, incense, and tuberose, creating a warm, balsamic, and slightly smoky character. The fragrance maintains a surprising freshness throughout, balancing sweetness from vanilla and tonka with woody and aromatic notes, making it versatile for both day and night wear. Many users find the scent unexpectedly elegant and sophisticated, noting its harmonious balance and strong longevity, although some feel it fades quickly or lacks projection. Overall, it stands out for its unique, floral-oriental profile, appearing darker and more refined than its predecessor.
