Yves Saint Laurent 2008 EDP
Elle Intense
Yves Saint Laurent Elle Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Olivier Cresp. Elle Intense opens with Raspberry and Litchi, settles into a heart of Red Berries, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Yves Saint Laurent's Elle Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.
A divisive take on the original Elle, this 'Intense' flanker is all about rich, dark berries and a hefty dose of patchouli. Some find it a bold, sexy statement, while others are underwhelmed by its projection and longevity, or find the patchouli too aggressive. Definitely try before you buy, especially if you're sensitive to strong patchouli notes.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Best Occasions
The strong, 'intense' nature of the patchouli and amber, alongside its 'sexy' and 'nighttime' associations in reviews, make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear. It shines brightest for dates and formal evening events, where its bold character can make a statement without overwhelming.
