Elle

Elle, a Fresh Fruity Floral

Elle is a bright, modern floral from YSL. Our version keeps that feel, opening with lychee and pink pepper before a jasmine and peony heart settles over cedar, vetiver, and musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

Yves Saint Laurent built Elle as a fresh, radiant scent for the confident modern woman, fruity and floral with a clean woody base. The idea was luminous, easy femininity.

That fresh radiance is its appeal. The lychee keeps it juicy, the jasmine and peony make it pretty, and the cedar and vetiver ground it. Our interpretation follows that same radiant path.
