Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
While it can be worn in a business setting, the community consensus leans toward evening, leisure, or night-out occasions. Its balsamic and tuberose-heavy profile is quite potent, making it better suited for open spaces or cooler environments rather than a confined office.
How does the tuberose note come across?+−
The tuberose here is described as creamy and opulent rather than fresh or "green." When combined with the fruits and resins, some users find it gives off a "purple" or grape-like vibe, though it is balanced by smoky vetiver and earthy patchouli.
Is So Elixir Purple a good choice for summer?+−
Most wearers find it too intense for high heat. Because of its spicy, woody, and sweet accords, it performs best in the autumn and winter months when the cold air allows the balsamic notes to feel cozy rather than cloying.
Does this smell like a typical "fruity floral"?+−
Not in the traditional sense. While classified as a floral fruity, it leans heavily into "oriental" and woody territory. The inclusion of benzoin, patchouli, and vetiver gives it a resinous, earthy backbone that is much darker than a standard bright fruit fragrance.
