Yves Saint Laurent Elle 2024 Eau de Parfum 80ml Spray

Yves Saint Laurent Elle 2024 Eau de Parfum 80ml is the modern reformulation of the iconic 2007 women's fragrance, paring back the original to a contemporary three-note structure: pink pepper, peony and patchouli. Crisp, floral and gently spicy, it captures the YSL Elle signature — confident, free, distinctly modern femininity — for a new generation of wearers.

About Yves Saint Laurent

The story behind Elle 2024

The original Yves Saint Laurent Elle (2007) was conceived as a fragrance for the modern, multifaceted woman, with a complex composition. The 2024 reformulation strips that brief back to a tighter, contemporary structure — pink pepper for sparkle, peony for floral femininity, and patchouli for grown-up depth. The result reads as crisper and more polished than the original, with the same recognisable "elle" character.

Who it's for

Best for fans of the original Elle who want a modern update, and for anyone drawn to fresh, slightly spicy floral perfumery in the vein of Mugler Alien Goddess, Lancôme La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolu or Chloé Eau de Parfum. The patchouli drydown gives it grown-up character and good staying power; the pink pepper and peony keep it appropriate for office, daytime and quiet evening wear. A useful daily signature.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — wrists, behind the ears, the base of the throat — from around 15 cm away. As an Eau de Parfum, expect moderate-to-strong projection in the first one to two hours and a soft, polished skin scent for six to eight hours total.
