About this deal

Fragrance is the first impression you quietly convey, used to express your ever-changing moods, contrasting personas, and cherished memories. Does the invigorating burst of punchy citrus instantly revive your soul? Or do the depths of damp woods and zingy spices awaken your senses? Welcome to ELLE Noteworthies, a definitive guide to the finest fragrances we’ve encountered this year, poised to accompany you as you create new scent memories. Elle is misnamed. It's a dry woody floral that hardly falls on the feminine side, and that's only due to a watery-pink note of lychee and some red fruits. Everything else; the scratchy pink pepper, the lemon, the gritty indoles of sambac, papery flowers, what Luca Turin calls the Feu d'Issey bread-milk note, the patchouli and dark woods, all of them are not Feminine. The only other feminine note is a sweet powdery-woody in the base. Esther Olu: I loved the versatility of the notes. Specifically, upon continued smelling, you get a continual diverse scent of spicy (i.e., pink pepper), fruity/floral (orange blossom, jasmine), and gourmand (vanilla, coffee). While the scents are not necessarily complex, this is a well-balanced blend of diverse notes that keeps you guessing. Like Alan Turing, Elle is a Code Breaker; unconventional, an outsider with a different point of view.

It actually works quite well, just not under the name She. 'He' might have been less incongruous, but either way, with it's inherent weirdness, this was always going to be an outlier, a non-conformist luking in it's square-cut androgenous bottle. Below, Esther Olu and Ginger King share why they chose this mysterious, aromatic fragrance as one of the best perfumes for women that you can buy. What did you love about the notes? Esther Olu: What makes this an iconic perfume is its propensity to captivate and this is due to, in my opinion, its versatility. Its diverseness is what makes it so addicting.
