Yves Saint Laurent 2009 EDT
Elle Shocking (Elle)
Yves Saint Laurent Elle Shocking (Elle) is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009, created by Olivier Cresp. Elle Shocking (Elle) opens with Mandarin, Ginger, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Peony, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Patchouli. Yves Saint Laurent's Elle Shocking (Elle) carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.
This EDT attempts to be a fresher, 'lighter' take on the original Elle EDP, but ultimately falls short. It's pleasant enough, if a bit bland, but its fleeting performance truly undermines any potential it might have had. Not 'shocking' enough to be memorable.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Built on floral, fresh and woody - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.
Best Occasions
Its low sillage and moderate longevity make it suitable for office wear where it won't overpower. It's too subtle and linear for dates or formal events, but its fresh and casual nature makes it a safe bet for everyday wear or light activities.
