Elle (for women)

Maryel

This YSL fragrance is sharp, vivid and potent at first spritz. I think some notes must be a secret because there is a lot going on with this perfume. I have sampled it many times and each time I get a different interpretation. Dominate are the tangy citrus, lychee along with the sweet peony top notes. After an hour it simmers down and becomes an agreeable bouquet with a blend of berries, freesia and jasmine. After six or more hours it seems to lose a lot of its initial potency and you have the lingering scent of very mild patchouli, vetiver and a warm, musky ambrette note. They say it was not greeted well by many reviewers. It is not going to be a classic, but it is a wonderful “change of pace” fragrance and think it would be a good addition to those who appreciate YSL.

My mom uses this and it's the only scent that annoys me. My opinion: only for special occasions and spray once, that really is enough... It does last long.

Didn't mix well with my skin. The lady at the counter was ticked off that Luca Turin gave it, as she said, only one star. Actually, he gave it three stars. I found it much too sweet and tangy. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad Winter scent... but definitely not for muggy weather. Will have to give it another try.

I love this! It has a perfect blend of citrus notes and sexy, sultry woodsy notes, along with jasmine and berries, which I can smell distinctly. It just might be my new favorite :) My mother loves this too. Most likely I will buy her a full-size bottle for Mother's Day that her and I can share. Elle is a very interesting, flirty fragrance without being girly. It isn't sweet, but just right. Noticeable, but not obnoxious. Modern and chic.
