The story behind the bottle.
L'Eau Couture by Elie Saab was launched in 2014 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. This floral fragrance is a harmonious blend of citrus, fruity, and nutty notes, with magnolia and orange blossom at its heart. The composition opens with calabrian bergamot, giving way to green almond and vanilla, creating an intricate blend that is both sweet and warm. It embodies the elegance and sophistication for which Elie Saab is known.
Apply L'Eau Couture to pulse points for a warm embrace that lasts throughout the day. The sweet and nutty notes settle into the base after about an hour, so allow it time to develop fully on your skin.
