Elle from Yves Saint Laurent, released in 2007 and composed by Olivier Cresp and Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, is a woody floral with a peppery edge. People describe it as floral first, woody for most, with spicy, musky and citrus facets for a quarter.
It opens with litchi and peony brightened by Amalfi lemon, a fruity, slightly sharp start. The heart is jasmine, freesia and rose with pink pepper, so the flowers come with a warm, peppery bite rather than sweetness. The base is where its character lies: vetiver and patchouli for an earthy dryness, cedar for a clean wood, and ambrette for a soft, slightly nutty musk.
Four in ten wearers report long-lasting performance and a third call it moderate, while about half find the sillage moderate. It is voted for winter and autumn and split almost evenly between night and day. It suits someone who likes florals with a dry, confident finish.
