Elie Saab 2020 Parfum
Le Essentiel
by Maïa Lernout
Elie Saab Le Essentiel is a Parfum launched in 2020, created by Maïa Lernout. Le Essentiel opens with Mandarin and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Patchouli. Elie Saab's Le Essentiel carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.
This flanker is a divisive one. There's a proper split between those who find its creamy white florals elegant and clean, and those who detect a screechy, synthetic 'old lady' vibe. You'll either love how it develops on your skin, or you'll be giving the bottle away.
