The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2010, Elle Edition Collector by Yves Saint Laurent is a limited edition that captures the essence of summer with its modern and playful composition. The fragrance opens with a bright burst of grapefruit, which sets the tone for a light and solar experience. As it evolves, jasmine and pink pepper bring a soft spiciness to the heart, while amber and benzoin anchor the base in warm musk. This limited edition captures both the energy and the elegance that YSL is known for.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers as the grapefruit top note is bright but fleeting. The base notes develop gradually over time, so it's best to let them settle for about an hour before heading out. Perfect for daytime, where its light and solar character shines through.
