Part 2 on the new YSL offerings:
YSL 's newest fragrance is elle and is out next month. Housed in a striking hot pink bottle, this is a lively scent inspired by the modern woman of Paris and beyond. According to the company she is unpredictable and unique , feminine, seductive, bold. All good things, no?
The video/commercial is available with a lot more info at:
The commercial features model Coco Rocha in a stunning slim YSL suit , and does capture the fragrance in a way. Plus I think the song is one by Siouxsie ( of the Banshees) and that seriously rocks.
The fragrance itself is a wonderful surprise to me. When I first read about it on a duty free site, I saw that it had the pink pepper and lychee notes far too common in many of today's scents ,and I was worried. In general I like YSL fragrances( Cinema is big favorite), and hoped this was better than those notes. It is. You actually do get a bit of lychee, but not enough to be overpowering, and the pink pepper didn't really show up.
Instead I got a lovely floral -citrus zest close to the skin, with sillage that wafted a soft peony ( another of the notes) my way. The lychee mingles just a bit with the peony, and some patchouli, which grounds it all.
To me elle is a soft floral , somewhat sheer, but with fantastic lasting power, and great sillage.
This is a modern,delightful, uncomplicated , scent and one that can be worn day or night. It's one of those scents that makes me smile when I spritz it on, and for the next while, I think will be one I wear a lot.
The notes are:
Peony and Lychee at the top
Pink berries,Freesia, and Jasmine in the middle
Patchouli,Vetiver, and Amber at the bottom.
