The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Yves Saint Laurent, Elle Limited Edition is a fragrance that captures the essence of modern femininity. It opens with a bright and zesty combination of grapefruit and mandarin orange, which immediately sets a fresh and vibrant tone. The heart of jasmine sambac and peony adds a lush floral depth, balanced by the subtle sweetness of raspberry and pink pepper. As it settles into its base notes, benzoin and crystal amber create a warm and inviting trail, grounded by vetiver's earthy undertones.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The grapefruit and mandarin orange top notes are bright but dissipate within an hour, so allow time for the lush florals and warm base notes to develop on your skin. This scent is best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh and elegant presence.
