I tried two products from Elemis and COULD NOT TOLERATE THE SCENT.  It was so overpowering I threw out both samples...   and I like a mild fragrance in things.   I would never even go near that line again because of that.

I have used both.  I can't stand the Elemis scent.  I've sworn off the brand until they offer it in an unscented version.

 

I use several Tatcha products.  My favorites are the Essence, the rice polish and the kissu mask.  I buy those products over and over.  

 

I also regularly use a lot of Josie Maran products on both my face & body.  There are critics that don't like the oil or see the line as a lot of hype, but I have had great results.  The line is extensive enough that your routine can be a complicated or as simple as you like.

I've never tried Elemis so I can't opine, but I do use Tatcha's Rice Powder (Indigo for Delicate skin) and love it.  It's gentle enough to use daily and I stopped using another exfoliator that I've been using because of how gentle the Tatcha is.

Tatcha Rice Powder (nightly), Gel Cream and Dewy Night Cream are staples in my routines.  Used to use the Rice Wash (and will start again tonight because I'm out of Naturium) and DO like it but found a product I liked just as much for 1/2 the price.  I wish Naturium was scented but everyone is going unscented these days (sigh).  Used to use the Cleansing Oil but moved to a cleansing balm (Huda Beauty) because it's better for dry skin and it's not as messy as an oil.  My first essence was Tatcha's.  I've since moved on to "milky" essences... Kiehls and Dr Ceuracle's

I actually really like them both, as well as Lancer. I probably use more of Tatcha's products right now though...

Only tried Elemis (sample) but can't tolerate the scent and it is too greasy for me.

Never tried Tatcha because of the price but I think I would like it.  Right now I use Beekman facial soap and RMS beauty oil (both the day and the night).  I am very happy with it. I use it on face, neck and eyes and love it.  I like simple and not having to use multiple products.

Neither. They both have a lot of perfume. First aid is better than both in my opinion.

Elemis does have a bad smell but it has cleared my roseacea. I have long covid and lost my smel and taste so for now I can tolerate it.

NEITHER. BOTH are OVERPRICED and OVERHYPED
