Le Parfum

This is going to be an amble through a decade of perfume, but hopefully an informative one. So - hang in there or skip altogether. Either way, you're welcome. :) After 14 or so years of admiration, I finally have this lovely fragrance to wear and enjoy! I have yet to test a good dupe oil, so this time I saved for a second-hand bottle of 'the real'. Sometimes it pays, sometimes it doesn't. The scent approximation of certain fragrance profiles is much easier and more authentic than others, I guess. For instance, I've come across fantastic dupes of JPG's Classique at ALL price points. And though uniquely themselves, not a single bad one have I smelled. But I digress.... (Even as I write this, a new and rather satisfactory looking 'inspired by' of Le Parfum has been released. It is called Pendora Ecstatic Le Parfum by Paris Corner. Lovely bottle, and it's getting excellent reviews. Yet where I live it is almost as expensive as 'the real'..... Naturally, it's totally up to your location and preference.) For longevity: I have to admit that my fragrance-swallowing skin makes a skin scent of Le Parfum after four hours. Happily for the first two hours, ONE spray is enough! I can spray more later. Sillage is good, and that is my first consideration. :) The scent is sharp in some ways, but also slightly sweet, like a real honeysuckle vine. The green patchouli here is like that in Coco Mademoiselle, as is the 'tone' of the scent itself, elegant and perfectly balanced. CM is aquatic and awful on my skin, however, while Le Parfum behaves gorgeously and never leans aquatic. Whenever the sharpness seems a bit much (highly weather related) I get out AK Love, Anne to layer - which gently sweetens and adds a 'friendly' pink note to my powerhouse floral. It's a perfect fix, and I suspect there are other layering wins just around the corner. Florals are a dream to layer, IMHO. For description: A luminous white floral with a honeysuckle/orange blossom vibe, almost like a more mature and sophisticated version of Avon's discontinued Honeysuckle or Jo Malone's Orange Blossom. (These two are quite alike, I have tested or worn both and Love them.) Le Parfum contains the cedar/green patchouli note of CM, which strengthens and deepens an otherwise simple floral. I recommend highly. Conversely, if Elie Saab SHOULD have been wonderful on you but wasn't, check out Jo Malone's Orange Blossom or dupes thereof. It's charming and lacking that mean-green note. For summary: Avoid if you dislike possibly soapy/mean white florals or green, fresh patchouli. Otherwise, a total winner!

Elie Saab Le Parfum. Radiance in a bottle! Elie Saab’s first perfume, and arguably the best. This and the Intense share the same character but just like different moments of the day, they have particularities. Le Parfum is the day. That shining sun that starts bright and as the day progresses gets more blinding. Light! The orange blossom, which is the star in all of the line, begins sweet and honeyed, touch of honey to give it more body. But as it wears, the jasmine comes into play. Just like the suns rays become hotter and the light more blinding, so does the perfume become more ‘intense’. I wouldn’t say shrieky because it doesn’t. But picture a scorchin day with the sun reflecting everywhere and the light becoming blinding that it alters your view of your surroundings. This is Le Parfum. But, it stays pleasurable and beautiful all the way. Sweet orange blossom with honey, a more piercing albeit beautiful jasmine adds light and a soft woody background anchors it for hours. Le Parfum Intense is when the sun sets. The orange blossom in the start is way heavier and the honey adds up noticeably making it sweeter and heavier. The ylang adds creaminess and a heavy cream texture; the coolness of the night begins to creep in and the smells around you become more noticeable. The hidden ‘Eau de Cologne’ character of the morning hides behind the miel des fleurs character of the night and brings forth a mesmerizing headiness. There’s also an undisclosed spiciness that smells like ginger, like a sexier Classique while being simultaneously more heady. I’d go for this version if I could only pick one. Both are very orange blossom centered. Heavy, heady, intoxicating and sweet. The oils used are of quality. The interplay of the notes which are basically the same, offer a different character that showcases their qualities perfectly. In a sea of fake florals that are just a facade for more sugar and gourmands, Le Parfum and Le Parfum Intense ring true to their quality of a narcotic floral. If you’ve lived in a Mediterranean country you might be familiar with that feeling of white stone, that in summers past, used to reflect the light of the sun and transmit a blinding whiteness to your eyes and a cool warmth to your skin, without that burning heat we experience now. Summer heat used to be different; it was warm. Now it burns. Les Parfums are the former, with that joyous feeling of what lies ahead. Both have excellent sillage, radiance and longevity!

The fact that Le Parfum is still getting many reviews years after its release should tell us something! I was looking for my 'recent' review, only to find it buried amongst the more recent, always a good sign when it comes to a fragrances popularity. :) So.. to update my previous review.... I enjoy Elie Saab, even though there has been a little reformulation since its inception. The longevity has definitely been impacted. My sample of years ago was perfect on me in the hottest of weather and projected like a beast. Today's is also strong at first, if short-lived, but seems to evaporate and smell rather different on/to me in the heat. However, it performs Beautifully and smells fantastic in brittle, ice-cold weather! It smells rather more like the original and also projects amazingly. It is exactly the right season now, with traces of snow on the ground and more soon to follow. Gorgeous, Golden summer in the ice! Absolutely five stars if not for longevity. There are high quality dupes now (most notably one from the middle east in a near-perfect edp spray bottle), but where I live a tester or second-hand Le Parfum edp costs more or less the same price. As a moderate or budget scent - depending on your pocketbook! - this is a good value in top notch quality. Recommended to all who love orange blossom based florals of complexity. It smells rather expensive and mature, without being fusty or dusty. I could not wear Coco Mademoiselle, despite my admiration for it, and this delivers the same sort of sophistication without the green/mean overdose Coco M. becomes on me. They could be beautifully dressed, chic cousins of considerable means. To me, Le Parfum smells more beautifully fitted out and also more feminine. ENJOY!

I got this beauty almost a decade ago and just loved it back then and considered it my favourite perfume, a signature even. Then something happened and I felt I grew out of it and instead of the harmonious and elegant composition something smelled too harsh, even nauseating. Most likely the honey-jasmine-orange flower mix. There was maybe 2-3 ml left in my bottle and the liquid turning cloudy, I considered just tossing it a long time ago. But I'm so glad I didn't, and instead tried it on again this summer! The warm summer weather would round the scent up beautifully and now I smell the same gorgeousness I first fell in love with years ago. It's funny as back then I remember considering this first and foremost a spring/fall scent and too heavy for the hottest summer. However now it's almost 30 degrees celsius outside and I'm loving it. I wouldn't be surprised if I was to find it screechy again during colder, drier season but for now, it's perfect. Will have to buy another bottle. I'd be curious to try out the flankers, too, although I don't think the original can be easily beaten. Some people talk about it being too mature for them – I understand where they're coming from, since Le Parfum is definitely not teenager's first perfume by character, however I consider it a uni-age fragrance. ;) I'm in my mid-twenties, obviously loving it, but apart from that I could comfortably pull it off in my late teens. That being said, I think Le Parfum would equally suit a more mature lady. This scent is clean, timeless, approachable feminine elegance and has much more to do with the _style_ of its wearer than her age.

The Architecture of Light: Elie Saab Le Parfum The world does not simply wake; it ignites. There is a moment at the peak of the morning when the shadows of the city retreat, surrendering to a white, blinding brilliance. This is the realm of Elie Saab Le Parfum—a fragrance not merely bottled, but woven from the very fibers of the sun. The Solar Ascension The journey begins with an explosion of Orange Blossom. This is not the dusty flower of the earth; it is an electric efflorescence, crystalline and ethereal, captured at the exact second it meets the light. It is a surge of pure, gilded energy that clears the "blur" of the mundane, announcing your presence with the authority of a solar flare. The Ethereal Heart As the initial brilliance settles, the scent transforms into a sprawling, architectural Jasmine. It is the "Queen of the Night" forced into the day, its intoxicating, creamy sweetness rendered translucent. It feels like silk catching the wind—a Sanctuary of Grace that floats above the noise. You don’t merely enter a space; you transcend it, draped in a silhouette of light. The Ambered Horizon The dry-down is where the light finds its anchor. A syrupy, Solar Honey melds with the structural strength of Cedarwood. It is a "gilded" embrace that lingers on the skin like the memory of heat. This is the scent of absolute radiance—a honeyed trail that ensures that wherever you go, the light follows. Elie Saab Le Parfum. Luminous. Absolute. Iconic. Step out of the shadows. Become the Sun.

Le Parfum by Elie Saab is now considered a modern classic of perfumery. If I had to describe it in three words, I would use: bright, sunny and elegant. Created by the genius of Francis Kurkdjian, this perfume manages to translate the aesthetics of the Lebanese designer's high fashion clothes into olfactory sensations: impalpable fabrics, Mediterranean light and regal femininity. As soon as you spray it, you're hit by an explosion of African Orange Blossoms. It's not the pungent smell of citrus, but a clean, almost golden scent, reminiscent of a sunny afternoon in a Mediterranean garden. After a few minutes, the Jasmine (both Grandiflorum and Sambac) takes over. It is a creamy, noble and very persistent jasmine, which gives the fragrance its "ultra-feminine" character. The magic happens in the finale. White Honey envelops the flowers making them sweet but never "sugary". Patchouli and Cedar give structure and an almost earthy depth, preventing the scent from becoming too ethereal and ensuring exceptional longevity. It is a fragrance for those who love white flowers and want to feel sophisticated. Despite being a "commercial" perfume, it has the quality and complexity of a niche fragrance. It is a perfume that smells of "clean luxurious" and light. Small style note: If you are looking for something darker or mysterious, this might be too "light" or sunny for your tastes.

Le Parfum is one of those fragrances that reminds me why I fell in love with perfume in the first place. In a world filled with increasingly sweet gourmands and fragrances that smell like desserts, Le Parfum feels timeless. It opens with a beautiful fresh floral quality that immediately feels elegant and feminine without ever becoming 'old-fashioned'. The orange blossom is the star of the show on my skin, supported by a bouquet of white florals that feel refined rather than overpowering. What I love most about this fragrance is its effortless beauty. It doesn't need to shout for attention. It simply smells polished, graceful and incredibly well put together. As it develops, it becomes softer and warmer, while maintaining its floral heart throughout. Having recently compared it side by side with Lumière, I was surprised by how different they felt. While Lumière is brighter, more citrusy and more radiant, the original Le Parfum feels more floral, romantic and classically feminine. They share the same DNA, but each has its own personality. Le Parfum is the fragrance I reach for when I want to feel elegant. It's beautifully balanced, easy to wear and never seems to go out of style. To me, this is modern classic perfumery at its best.

Undoubtedly my most aggressively traditionally feminine perfume. Very sweet, very floral, very wispy and pretty and STRONG. The orange blossom note is beautiful - natural, middle of the still night in spring fresh orange blossom is one of my favorite scents in the world, but not every perfume gets it right. Elie Saab gets it! This honestly feels like sitting in the sun under a 100 year old orange tree in full bloom, buzzing with bees. A sticky honey and crushed flower petals whirlwind. Very spring and summer leaning, blooms beautifully under the sun, and feels like Southern California summers in a bottle. Makes me wanna roller skate on the Venice strand in August with sunglasses on and bright colored shaved ice in hand. I don’t always wanna give off that vibe but on days that I do, this is an easy, crowd-pleasing (because, again, she is STRONG. People are gonna smell you. Beware.) grab. Great to have in a collection, because somedays you just need something pretty and uncomplicated. Am I as carefree and beautifully put together, as sweet and as bright as this perfume? Absolutely not, but I can pretend for a few hours.

I must be living under a rock, because I haven’t tried Elie Saab Le Parfum until today. And what a wonderful surprise this scent turned out to be... As a white floral lover, this is pure joy: a strong blend of jasmine and orange blossoms with an intense, syrupy sweetness coming from honey and hints of patchouli and rose as the scent goes towards dry down. I find this fragrance to be the perfect combination of florals, sweetness and patchouli, but on the fresher side. A warm, sunny spring day bottle by the magic hands/nose of Francis Kurkdijan. Also, this designer scent smells better, richer and more luxurious than some niche white florals I have been tested recently! And for the price currently sold, Le Parfum is an absolute gem. If you want a sweet white floral perfume for upcoming spring, get your nose on this. It’s truly amazing! I need to get a bottle until it disappears, it’s an old perfume and many times designer brands discontinue some of their best perfumes! Edit 31.03.25 Ordered a 30 ml of this online, found it for a fantastic price. Should be with me right on time for spring season!

I am just wearing this again after many yrs and wow.....its stunning. I see its by Francis Kurkdijian from 2011. I bought a 1 ounce for $38. I remember thinking how unusual this fragrance was since I dont like jasmine but I loved this! Something about how fantastic the notes are composed - gorgeous creamy honeyed jasmine grounded in patchouli & cedar and mixed with bright delicious orange blossom. If you arent a floral girl like me, you might want to try this anyway bc its simply out of this world gorgeous. This is a strong sweet perfume so my advice for best wearing experience is to spray below your waist, not on neck or arms. That way it will smell amazing and it wont overpower you. As a sidenote: I am noticing a trend in the perfume world right now. Some of the older fragrances (10+ yrs old) can be purchased at very good prices right now because the younger youtubers havent hyped them up (yet). I bought some Hermes and a few other spring florals for about $25 for 1.7 ounce and even a 3 ounce size for about the same. Maybe grab em now before they jack up the prices.

I wonder how many people have had similar incidents, especially with large collections. As my collection grows and I become enamored with new fragrances, older loves seem to get pushed back and I forget how much I loved them when I first purchased them, or even smell better than I remembered! Such is the case with Le Parfum. It must be two years since I last wore it, and I have fallen head over heels with it all over again. The orange blossom, jasmine, and honey are divine. Thankfully it hasn't turned at all. I think I enjoy it even more now than I first did. I'm reaching the point where I am starting to buy back up bottles of certain favorites, and though I still have a decent amount left, this may require a backup bottle. Longevity is good, silage and projection are moderate - noticeable, but not like being beat over the head with a bouquet of white florals. A most definite love! I think that Francis Kurkdijian and Elie Saab have made several fantastic collaborations and this one ranks high for me!

I Love this! I first heard about it from a perfume YouTuber I like watching and she just goes on and on about Elie Saab. So I decided to blind buy it. We’ll.... Long story short. I worked with a woman who I believe wore this but I never asked her what perfume she wore. Anyhow I always loved her perfume and fast forward a couple years to my blind buy. I opened the box and smelled this and first thing I thought of was, wow this is amazing but not only that but it smelled like my coworkers perfume. I thought maybe this is what she wore? I’ll never know but this perfume is marvelous. It’s a masterpiece and a hidden gem. Why is this not talked about more? If it wasn’t for the YouTuber I never would have heard about this. I love orange blossomy perfumes and this is so so classy. It’s creamy and citrusy and clean and sparkling and just luminescent. It’s also very strong. Two sprays is all you need. It’s magnificent and I’ll keep it in my collection.

My all-time signature scent! I am very picky with perfumes, it's so easy for them to smell too unbalanced, weak or overpowering, or have background notes that aren't so pleasant. Not with Elie Saab Le Parfum. I absolutely adore the honey and jasmine in this. There's lovely rose in the background that adds to the composition without being strong enough to make this a grandmother-style perfume. This scent is classy, complex, almost gourmand without being sickly sweet. I keep trying to find perfumes that can be a mainstay like this one but to no luck, even the other Elie Saabs do not compare. Is the Elie Saab Le Parfum a safe blind buy? It is if you know what you like. If you're after a very fresh, generic, young sweet floral scent - this is not that. If you want something a bit more mature, but still feminine and signature-worthy - this is it. Even my partner finds this scent delicious when I wear it.

This is extremely special to me. My beautiful mother died 8 weeks ago, this was her favourite perfume. It is what I chose to wear to her funeral and will wear every time I want to feel close to her, it brings such a sense of calmness to me and I will always keep a bottle in my wardrobe from now on. Orange flower, jasmine and honey... what a beautiful combination. It is truly intoxicating and so, so beautiful. I can see why this is such a popular choice for brides on their wedding day. It is something you would catch a whiff of in the air and want to follow the scent just to smell it for longer. It lasts for ages, always a plus in a scent, and I tend to use a body wash with orange blossom in it which seems to bring out the perfume more. My mum had good taste, better than my own, and I know she would highly approve of my new found love for this amazing perfume.

I've only been a member of this forum for a short while, and to be honest, some of you have put me off a lot of fragrances because they were not 'ground breaking' enough. Why does every fragrance have to be ground breaking? Does everything have to have a zillion notes, or be squeezed out of an Oud's arse for it to be F'Habulous? I asked my partner to buy me Hermes de Merveilles at the airport. He called me up and said it smelled like aftershave. He also tried a couple of Tom Ford's, Narciso Rodriguez and Guerlain L'Instant. He chose Elie Saab because, he said, 'It was gorgeous'. As someone who has tried Carnal Flower, and lived through the hype; Elie Saab is lovely...yes I said it; no hyberbole or waxing lyrical. There are normal people out here reading this stuff. Hopefully they will see through the crappy diatribe.

It does not smell like a grandma unless you are very young and into stripper club scents or celebrity chewing gum ones. I love it. I am 42 btw and a mum. I bought a bunch of testers and decided to buy another one (Amo Ferragamo, Per Lei) as a big bottle, but I still have this as a tester and wore it again yesterday. It is so lovely i will soon purchase a big bottle of it. I don't even want to try the flankers as I can see from the descriptions and reviews that they probably are more cloying and smell cheaper. Elie Saab Le Perfum is perfect for the office but also any kind of family gatherings, restaurant visits etc. It is sophisticated, floral and smells like you are a woman, perhaps suitable for all ages of women who wants to smell put together and capable.

Okay. This is one of the most beautiful and elegant perfume I have in my collection! Strong sillage and last a pretty decent time so good for the money value . Compliment magnet for sure since I have had a lot of compliments wearing her. One of the nursing students I work with said she was following me down the corridor yesterday because I smelled so good haha. She-Ellie is sophisticated, feminine with strong jasmine notes. Kinda womanly and seductive but also innocent and matronly. Sweet but also clean, fresh and classy as honey would. Definitely will be one of my favourite perfumes of all time. You can definitely wear day or night ,on a date or work this perfume will be suitable. I think I will always have her in my collection for a long time 😍

I adore this fragrance ! So beautiful, elegant and feminine, while also being sophisticated. It’s the perfect signature scent. It’s one of those fragrances that would be appropriate for any occasion. It’s not overly unique yet universally appealing. At least to me; it’s exactly the kind of fragrance I like! It’s floral, clean, warm and fulfills all the aspects I look for! If you’re looking for an affordable alternative, try Daily by New brand. I have one on each hand and it’s very close, just a bit lighter and doesn’t last as long, but is easy to find on Jomashop and super affordable so you can carry a decant! Armaf’s edition one is similar but my nose can see a distinct difference. Hope that helps.

I hold this perfume in the highest regard. Full credit to the master FK 👏🏻 for crafting such a masterpiece. The blend of jasmine and honey notes is remarkably refreshing. I’ve owned this perfume for several years, and despite having an extensive collection, I find myself consistently returning to it. Its captivating fragrance is both elegant and extraordinary. This perfume is versatile enough to be worn year-round, regardless of prevailing opinions. While some may argue it is better suited for cooler weather, I personally adore it and choose to wear it whenever I like. I remain unaffected by others’ views, as I wear perfume solely for my own enjoyment—and that, in itself, is deeply fulfilling.

Yeah this is good... that’s why U need to buy samples... everytime i try it in stores i just panic when i smell it just too masculine smelling not what i expected at all... but i still wanted to love it so i bought a sample and sprayed a little dot in my arm and let it dry and sit... oh my god what was that ! This isn’t what i was smelling in the stores waayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more feminine and better im still getting masculine undertones but HOW GORGEOUS this isn’t the soft powdery floral feminine its the woody patchouli citrusy floral feminine don’t expect a soft sweet jasmine i dont get honey in this either just patchouli rose fresh orange blossom and jasmine 7/10

White flowy dress goes with Le Parfum. This is a beautiful spring and summer fragrance even though you can wear it all year round. I made a mistake and tried it during cold winter night because of the honey note. Even though everyone complimented me, I prefer it when it's warmer outside. Inoffensive and long-lasting with moderate to strong sillage. It lasts around 10 hours on me. Patchouly is non-existent on my skin and that's great for me. Orange flower and white honey are the main notes. There's also something that makes it clean and soapy. Jasmine is there but not too strong or cold. This can be a safe choice when you want to smell great and get compliments.

Smelled this yesterday and I’ve already decided this is the perfume I’m going to wear for the rest of my life. It’s not overly unique or groundbreaking but I think it smells beautiful on me. The opening smells like a rich woman and on me the dry down smells like beautiful jasmine soap which is what I was looking for. It lasts forever. I can spray it in the morning and I’ll still smell it after a full day and the price is very fair I originally wanted coco Chanel mademoiselle but as a uni student it was out of my price range. I was told Elie Saab was similar and I actually like it more. I think it’s perfect for every occasion and I’m just in love with it.

I have been wearing this for 12 years now (among many other fragrances). This is a staple in my collection. I can wear this any time, anywhere. Wore it on my wedding day. I have had multiple bottles and decants from multiple sources. It is amazingly consistent, always performs. If I spray too much it tends to project like a beast, so 1, max 2 sprays are more than enough. On me the most prominent notes are jasmine and honey. I have tried multiple flankers and the EDT (I even had a bottle and minis of the EDT) but NONE of them compare the original EDP. They can kiss the feet of the original. I am forever grateful that master FK gave the world this beauty!

Lovely, clean florals that linger six hours without a smidge of soapiness (I detest soapiness—it just flattens out a fragrance and shuts down any complexity with a THUNK, don’t you think?). Almost bridal in its celebration of jasmine, this is nonetheless a mature woman’s scent. A floriental, but not very heavy on the amber. (In fact—I would have liked even more grounding with the woods. (I like to layer with the teeniest, teeny-weeniest exhalation of Guerlain Oud Royal -way less than a full spray. Adds a bit of depth.) But even without the added dimension, this is a gorgeous, lush offering. Shares DNA with Chanel Coco (call me Grandma, I’ll live).

In 2016 I visited a friend in New York and we flounced around 5th Avenue pretending we could afford to be there. I got this as a gorgeous miniature bottle free sample, and it’s still unfinished because I love it so much. A reviewer somewhere here once pointed out an artificial grape vibe, and I think they’re absolutely right. The jasmine and honey drive it sweet, fun, rich, and it reminds me of wandering around somewhere new in the sun. My vision of this smell is very much informed by my memories of it: glossy art magazines, white cubes, pavements, rooftops, 19 and wondering who you are. So far the only white floral I have ever loved.

Wow, so elegant, sophisticated, chic, feminine and everything that’s glamorous! :) Beautiful white flowers (orange blossom here is gorgeous!) dipped in a soft, sensual honey. Patchouli is toning down sweetness, but it’s not dominant, so I encourage you to try this fragrance even if you aren’t patchouli fan. Trust me, it’s worth it! :) I think that Le Parfum is great for everyday wear, as well as for formal occasions and evenings. You will definitely get noticed, it’s really pretty and interesting! Lovely composition, elegant bottle, affordable price and performance above average. Do we need more? ;) I’ll definitely take it!

This fragrance is so radiant, it's piercing. But I wouldn't have it any other way. I adore the sharp, sweet concord grape facet of the orange blossom in this. It's unapologetically joyful, and anything but stupid. Between the neon glow of the white flowers and the contemporary cedar-patchouli base lies the most beautiful honey bridge. It's so realistic, I can hear the bees buzzing. I find this fragrance feminine coded almost to the point of caricature. But because of its legible structure, it reads more as modern commentary on femininity rather than cliche. A staple in my collection for happy, extroverted days.

What a beautiful, signature-worthy fragrance. In the opening, it is very much about the neroli and the orange blossom, but as it goes on, it becomes more sweet with the honey, and also somewhat powdery on my skin. I don't smell the patchouli a whole lot on myself,which is a shame, love me some patchouli. It is a white floral, but the sweetness and powderiness make it suitable for colder weather as well. It has a moderate projection, and lasts surprisingly long (after cca 6 hours I still smelled it). Recommend this one to anyone who is a white floral lover, and does not mind the sweet honey note

JTC 400 might be my absolute favorite floral fragrance ever, but it is simply unfit for daily wear, especially if you just run errands. However, I still want to smell like white flowers and honey, so Elie Saab Le Parfum checks all boxes for me: the honey note is done perfectly, orange blossoms and jasmine are dancing in harmony, its performance is impressive (around 7-8 hours on my dry skin). Additionally, I see it suitable both for professional clothing and cozy woolen pullovers. It simply warms me up on colder days and does not suffocate me on hot summer days. 10000/10!

I remember smelling it several times at the store and find it lovely, mysterious. I wasn't sure it was fit for me, but I decided to buy the 30ml because I wanted it on my shelf. I can confirm that it's not my cup of tea, but it's so good I don't care. I'm happy I have it. It's strong, persistent, nighty, not office friendly and on my skin the dry down is strange, loses almost all the femininity and leaves a smell like a man hugged me and left his perfume on me. It's sexy but so private that don't like to wear this fragrance in public. I'll keep this bottle forever

I finally broke down and bought myself a big bottle of this beauty for my birthday present to myself! I don’t think there is anything more to say then this is the most exquisite intoxicating modern classic and very original which is rare but I wouldn’t expect anything else coming from MFK. It’s the perfect all season all occasions fragrance! It’s just ORANGE BLOSSOM and jasmine sambac, not to much though with a hint of sweet floral rose honey! This is a beautiful gift for your loved one and fragrance doesn’t have gender. Can’t wait to buy the Le Parfum intense 🩷

I got this is spring. I tried it. I hated it. It was so basic and there was nothing in it that I liked. Until the other day when it was boiling hot, I was working from home, I land I wanted to wear a fragrance, but something that I don't care too much about. And oh my dear Lord! I finally really felt and loved it! People say it's for colder seasons and might be overwhelming I hot weather. Well I guess there is something seriously wrong about me, but I absolutely love it in the 40 Celcius.... That honey orange blossom is what I finally smell. YUM!!!

I first smelt this from a sample in a magazine and had to have it. It reminds me of pink musk sweets that I loved as a child, even though musk is not in the notes. It's different to all my perfumes, I love orange Blossom in perfume, it's so bright, dry down it's less sharp and sweetens, this is where the honey note shines. This is one of my favourites and I have all the flankers. Which all smell like this but, either softer, or more floral. This lasts pretty much all day and is strong. It is a perfume I repurchase. Currently on my second bottle

This perfume smells of a rich woman. One that doesn't belong to the trashy "new money" reality t.v. clique of riches (i.e. Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian), nor to the uptight "old money" unreachable clique (Chanel no 5). Instead, the Elie Saab rich woman wanders through a garden of orange blossoms and roses pollinated by honeybees, elegant almost regal but fresh and warm. Delightfully sweet and jammy without being candy-like (thankfully!) and citrus-y sunny, Elie Saab brings a new breeze to the crowd of "rich" perfumes.

Coco Mademoiselle, Chance, and Miss Dior were the only fragrances I wore for several years and I've grown out of them a few years back. I bought this one because I'm exploring white florals more as I have learned that I love them. This reminds me of all of the good parts of those mentioned fragrances but it's somehow better. It makes me feel nostalgic for those fragrances, but I enjoy this more. I think its is because this seems more versatile -- you can wear this for any event, any season, any time of day.

I am so in love with this gem! I can smell the Neroli predominantly on me which is weird coz it's not even listed as a note on the fragrance. This is definitely a grown up woman scent that definitely gives a boss bi*** vibe. I don't think it's that sultry or sexy compared to a Scandal by JPG. But this is so refreshing fresh scent for the cold weather. It can be worn during the warm months but you have to careful how much you use. But who cares, it's your money, you're not killing anyone. Enjoy!

I will always have this in my collection even though I don’t wear it that often. It’s neither an everyday perfume nor a pleasant gourmand. However it is very classy and uplifting. Very suitable for springtime and even warm temperatures. The silage is marvelous, making this a great option for outdoors. Great boss girl perfume for the office (if used in moderation.) It could be too much for a lot of people. Very loud and floral and also a bit sweet. I would say not a safe blind buy.

My first designer perfume I had just bought with my adult money. Currently searching for bridal perfume that matches my personality and my wedding theme, and I don't dissapoint myself. With orange blossom opening and dry down honey and jasmine, I only think this perfume can be worn whimsily (is that even a word?). I imagine a field full of wildflowers and bees (like alice in wonderland world), wear dress, and dance turning around. I love it. Gotta save it for my special day.

I'm developing a love for this one. I was looking for a classy, more mature scent, not sweet but with something effervescent in it. And great lasting power. It kind of ticks all the boxes. I will wear it to the office as a daily scent. My only whish is it would have a little more base to it. That's why I might try to layer it with some patchouli. I heard somewhere it has some resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle, but for that I find it needs more patchouli (or Tonka, I'll try).

The first perfume I bought. Knew nothing about fragrance, just blindly bought it. Safe to say I really love this perfume! Tho the SLP isn't that strong but it's a calming and relaxing scent. I even used it as room spray, helps with my anxiety lol. Opens up with a sweetness from the honey. A bit too sweet from my liking. Then I can smell the sweet white floral, I can't smell the rose though. As it dries down, I can detect a bit of earthy scent, probably from patchouli.

This is so similar to Narciso Rodríguez musc noir rose. I receive both of these within a week of eachother and thankfully i love the scent profile because they are sooooo similar, date i say almost exact. It’s got that plum boozy licorice opening i ly Elie Saab dries down to be a bit more powdery and clean floral but still has that licorice plum in the background. Narciso takes a slightly darker turn This is like twins, the good one and the bad one 🤣

I was gifted this back in 2016 from the mother of a friend. I had bought perfume here and there, but this is the scent that started me on my fragrance collection journey. I still wear this fragrance to this day, and love it just the same. When I wear it, I feel a sense of freedom and power. I become Greek goddess who passed through a honeysuckle grove and soaked up all the nectar. Incredible juicy and refreshing, but perfectly mature too.

This is a sleeper. When I read that it was from the master perfumer Francis Kurkdijian, and it was so reasonably priced, I had to try it. I sniffed it and was delighted. It opens strongly sweet and floral, which I love. Within a few minutes, the jasmine appears and stays apparent through the scent journey. This is unapologetically feminine and is a keeper for me. I can't wait to try the other fragrances from this perfume house.

My favorite fragrance at the moment, gifted for my birthday by my lovely boyfriend. It is at first flowery, jasmine, and even slightly bitter because of cedar I think, which is a good thing. I can also smell the patchouli in it. And then when it settles a bit it's very gentle. And on the dry down, I just can't stop sniffing my wrist, it becomes so soft, fresh like honey soap. Just the best!

I have cca 100 perfumes, some of them i love. Still, in the morning I constantly reach for this one...it never lets me down, longevity is great and fragrance is classic, fresh and never outdated....Just today my coworker complimented me :"It allways smells so good when you are near...." Edit: Just for reference - i hate patchouli. IMO this is nothing like Coco Mad which i can't stand.

This has become my absolute favourite perfume! I wear it in any setting because it's beautiful without being overpowering in one way or another. I love changing things up but I have yet to find a scent I love as much as this one. You can wear it casually or formally and it makes you feel so elegant and classy without doing too much. I just can't fault it in any capacity!

U guys don’t know how well blended and balanced this becomes once u layer it with gucci bamboo One of my favorite layerings for ever They just pair soo well like a 1 scent Bamboo gucci is a creamy airy citrusy lily Le parfum is honeyed orange blossom with patchouli and jasmine The light creaminess from bamboo tones down Any sharpness or masculinity from le parfum

This is a great scent. Very versatile, i dont get anosmic to this. I smell the orange blossom the most. Great for any time, any place. This is like a little black dress you could dress it up or down. Update: i gave my little mini of this to my daughter, and i kept in white. But i just ordered a full bottle of this. I really like the orange blossom and i miss it.

Found this at SDM for $21,99 and could not believe my eyes. I had tested it a few years ago but decided I couldn’t afford it on my budget but always longed for it. A sweet sunny scent that I tried to find replicated at an affordable price. Lo and behold I got it and Love it. It’s going to be my signature fragrance. Long lasting and feminine. I’m so delighted!

I interpret this perfume as a stylish woman in white flowers. A perfume suitable for the office environment is a perfume that definitely complements a stylish classic outfit. It suits both night and day. The scent of jasmine is magnificent. Do not be confused by the fact that it is a flower, because its woody air, not fidgety, has made the perfume solemn.
