So Elixir Eau de Toilette

This is very nice! I mostly smell the patchouli, jasmine and rose. I've tested the EDP version and I like the EDT version better. It's lighter and more subtle. I find the staying power great. I can still smell it on my skin at the end of the day. I can smell similarities to Miss Dior 2012 but this isn't as strong or as sweet. I think I actually like this better, sorry Dior! It doesn't smell cheap at all and is quite modern. I'm impressed! You could easily wear this everyday for every occasion. A very versatile fragrance. The bottle itself is simple, understated and attractive with the frosted glass. I bought my bottle at a fifty percent discount from the Yves Rocher catalogue and at that price, this can't be beat!

How do I start my review? ..... The allure of 'So Elixir' in my opinion is that it doesn't try too hard but it is no doubting a confident and stand out fragrance. I love patchouli. One of my favourite fragrances is Dior Cherie which has a similar cord with Coco M too both rich in patchouli. So reading reviews about how 'So Elixir' is also of the same cord I tested it and I was indeed surprised. YES it does smell the same. It smells earthy, warm, rose. Divine. Unpretentious yet sophisticated.

I expected this to be a lighter version of the original EDP, but I think it is strong too!! So, they are not identical perfumes, but they are both on the strong side. In the beginning I had trouble with So Elixir, now I find the whole range soooo extremely well done. It is a very modern perfume, so I think, as a true vintage collector, I had to get used to this kind of trendy perfume..

I barely get the jasmin and the rose. On my skint it's all about a lovely, honeyed patchouli. It's gorgeous. I would wear it a lot in autumn/winter. I would recommend it to anyone who likes Neonatura Cocoon but finds it too earthy. And it will fill the bill if you love By Kilian Back to Black but you can't afford it. Cavallier, Cresp and Salamagne have done a great job.

I love this one ! Quite similar to the EDP but it doesn't give me headaches like the EDP. So it's the best version for me. It was a good idea to release this EDT : it's spicy, but not too much, sweet and floral at the same time, perfect for me.

Now i have the EDP, but before that i had the EDT. I think i like more the EDT, it's softer, but it still keeps the bouquet of this very classy perfume. I'll repurchise the EDT and i'll keep the EDP for the night.

It's a lighter, daytime version of the EDP , less patchouli , more bergamot ! I like it , really ! Maybe even more than the EDP ! Like some other users it makes be think of Coco Mademoiselle .

Oh wow, this really smells like Chanel Chance on my skin. As others have said, it is a bit heavy and strong for an EDT, but it is my favorite Yves Rocher fragrance so far.

I love it, to me it is the same as Shiseido Zen,this one lasts longer.

I received this perfume free with an order from Yves Rocher. It has a nice enough patchouli opening and then quite quickly dies down to a skin scent with a sweetish (but not cloying) floral citrus blend. It is quite pleasant and I really can't complain since it was a freebie. It is a very light fragrance and wears close to the skin so you may need to give it quite a few sprays if you like a stronger scent. I haven't tried the parfum so I'm not sure what that's like. But if you like light skin scents that are easy to wear this could be just right for you. PS This is very similar to Coco Madamoiselle so give it a whirl if you're on a budget and you can save yourself some hard earned cash.

This is a much different creation to the EDP and for that, I am grateful. Alike Guerlain scents, Yves Rocher alter the notes more significantly then the concentration when it comes to EDT/EDP variants. So Elixir EDT is a bergamot rich chypre that feels both woody/outdoorsy natural and yet also rather decadent. I like it. So Elixir EDP I find to be cloyingly sweet. If you love a perky semi-masculine top note and dislike gourmand gloop, go for the EDT.

This is very similar to the EDP, but indeed lighter. I get a lot of pepper right after I spray it on and the patchouli is prominent all the way with the pepper lingering in the background. I can't say that the staying power is incredible. I feel the need to reapply after couple of hours. This is a nice fragrance, I like it, but I prefer the EDP as it's richer.

Earlier I had EDP, now I have EDT and from this two I prefer EDT. Why? It's more subtle - it smells, not hit in the nose. It's smells with joy, swet fruits and flowers. Perfect for cold spring days when you want to wrap up scent of sun. It's very long lasting - it stays on my skin from morning till late evening, on clothes even for few days.

I like this one. I received a free bottle with my last order from Yves Rocher, it's something I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise, I'm not a fan of this type of fragrance - but this is light, pretty and a little different. I like the rosy citrus, and the patchouli is present but not overpowering. Longevity is excellent for an EDT.

I don't know how to describe this, it is just amazing. On my skin I cannot feel it, but everyone else says that i smell amazing, I guess it mixes perfectly with my chemistry. However I don't perceive it as a cold weather smell, so I don't know if I will be wearing this in the winter.

It's a bad copy of Coco Mademoiselle to me. It's not as sweet as CCM. Sharper and it doesn't last. Too much pink pepper for me. It doesn't give me headaches, but it certainly isn't a winner for me. I'm glad it was a free gift that came with my order.

So Elixir is nice. A happy citrus patchouli. I can't smell rose or jasmine, unfortunately. If you just "like" Coco Mad. just buy this and save the money, because this is close!

I love this EDT version. Very rich and luxurious. Quite similar to Coco Mademoiselle but much cheaper.

Too floral and strong for my taste, even cloying. I find it too similar to other perfumes that I have smelled before (CSP Hemisphère Sud perhaps?), nothing impressive really. The first notes are quite peppery, I can't feel any bergamot at all, and then you get a floral scent with a strong presence of patchouli, perhaps that's the reason I didn't like it.

Actually, this is better than the EDP, because the patch is lighter here. You can ALMOST smell something nice, rosy and warm/balmy lurking under the thick old rag of patch. I would never buy it, but if Yves give it away for free, I might try a bottle.
