The story behind the bottle.
Elle Perfume Extract by Xerjoff is a composition crafted by perfumer Chris Maurice. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with the freshness of citruses and orange blossom, creating an initial brightness that contrasts beautifully with its deeper notes. The heart features galbanum and patchouli, which add a warm, spicy depth, balanced by the softness of iris and white florals. As it settles into woody and balsamic accords, the composition reveals layers of benzoin, musk, opoponax, and amber, culminating in an enveloping warmth that evokes a sense of enduring elegance.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for the best effect. The citrus opening is bright but transient, so it’s important to let the warm spicy and woody notes develop on your skin over time. Elle Perfume Extract reads better close to the skin than across a room, making it perfect for intimate settings.
