The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008 by Yves Saint Laurent, Elle Intense Eau de Parfum is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp. The composition opens with the bright and juicy notes of litchi and raspberry, giving way to a heart of iris and jasmine that brings an elegant floral depth. At its base, patchouli, benzoin, and amber create a warm, earthy foundation that grounds the vibrant top notes in rich sensuality.
Apply two sprays for the perfect balance; the fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, while the patchouli and amber base notes develop over time. This fragrance is best suited for evenings or cooler weather when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
