The review
On paper, Elle is a reasonable bet if you want Elle for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Elle's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 76% less than Elle.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on litchi, peony and pink pepper, turns to jasmine, peony and vetiver, and settles into patchouli, cedar and musk. That is the brief Elle is working from.
Top
- litchi
- peony
- pink pepper
Heart
- jasmine
- peony
- vetiver
Base
- patchouli
- cedar
- musk
Lychee and peony over dry cedar, a clean fruity-floral with a woody spine.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Yves Saint Laurent Elle we can price, Elle is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 The Dupe Spot Elle $36/100ml
