Elle
It starts on litchi. It ends, hours later, on amber. Yves Saint Laurent Elle is everything that happens in between.

How it moves
The first breath is litchi, peony and pink pepper, and it is loud about it. The middle belongs to jasmine, peony and vetiver. The base is patchouli, cedar, musk and amber. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
Who made it
Olivier Cresp composed it in 2007, for Yves Saint Laurent in France. Launched in 2007 as YSL's contemporary women's pillar, Elle paired a fruity-floral top with an unusually woody base.
