The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Elle 2024 by Yves Saint Laurent is a floral fragrance for women, crafted with the expertise of perfumers Olivier Cresp and Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. This new scent opens with a burst of pink pepper, offering a fresh, spicy introduction that cuts through sweetness. The heart note of peony adds lush floral depth, while patchouli in the base provides earthy warmth and grounding. Elle 2024 captures confidence and alluring femininity, embodying the modern elegance Yves Saint Laurent is known for.

How to wear it

One generous spray is enough to capture the full essence of Elle 2024. The pink pepper top note fades within an hour, but the floral and patchouli base notes linger for hours, making it ideal for daytime or evening wear.
