The story behind the bottle.
Francis Kurkdjian created Elle 25 for the 25th anniversary of British Elle, a limited-edition perfume with only 25 bottles available, each signed by the perfumer himself. The fragrance is inspired by a modern woman who is liberated, humorous, tender, and elegant. It opens with a floral bouquet that brings freshness and vitality, while cedarwood essential oil adds warmth and depth to the composition. A musky and mossy base provides an earthy contrast, creating a chypre profile that is both lasting and contemporary.
Apply Elle 25 sparingly to the pulse points — a little goes a long way. The floral top notes are bright but fleeting, while the musky base develops slowly over time, making it best suited for daytime or early evening wear.
