   A couple of wears in, So Elixir has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Tonka Bean comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Tonka Bean, which is where the fragrance really shines. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

   For a 2009 release, So Elixir deserves more attention than it gets. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Tonka Bean, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Tonka Bean feel carefully balanced. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Tonka Bean, which is where the fragrance really shines. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   Yves Rocher knows how to compose, and So Elixir (2009) is proof. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Tonka Bean feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Tonka Bean comes forward — smooth and well done. On my skin the performance is reliable, not a beast but far from weak. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Tonka Bean, which is where the fragrance really shines. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

   I’ve been wearing So Elixir on and off for a few weeks now (2009). Give it a little time and Patchouli with Tonka Bean comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Patchouli with Tonka Bean, which is where the fragrance really shines. The trail is there if someone steps close, not across the room. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   A decant of So Elixir sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Tonka Bean feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Tonka Bean comes forward — smooth and well done. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

   A couple of wears in, So Elixir has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Tonka Bean comes forward — smooth and well done. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Tonka Bean feel carefully balanced. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

   Yves Rocher knows how to compose, and So Elixir (2009) is proof. The heart is the best part for me: Patchouli and Tonka Bean feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Patchouli with Tonka Bean comes forward — smooth and well done. It performs better in warmer weather — in the heat it opens up nicely. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.
