So Elixir לעומת Shalimar Eau de Parfum

So Elixir by Yves Rocher is appreciated by the community as a warm, comforting fragrance with pleasant amber, woody, and vanilla characteristics that delivers good value. However, its discontinuation has made it harder to locate, and some find it too sweet compared to similar amber florals on the market.

Shalimar is celebrated by the r/fragrance community as a landmark fragrance that deserves recognition despite its age, praised for its sensual character and impressive performance. The community appreciates it as a historic female-marketed perfume that breaks the mold of contemporary fragrances, with strong longevity and a beautiful evolution throughout wear.
