Elie Saab Perfumes

Where To Buy Elie Saab Perfume Online

Elie Saab is a Lebanese designer known for his evening gowns, bridal dresses and beautiful embroidery. He first released a perfume called Le Parfum in 2011, which featured orange blossom, an ingredient he would continue to use in many of his future fragrances.

Orange blossom smells fresh and sweet. Almost honey-like in some cases. What's great about Elie Saab perfumes is how orange blossom can smell different depending on the other ingredients in the formula.

With honey and patchouli, you get the original Le Parfum. With roasted pistachios and bitter almond, it starts to resemble Girl of Now. And when you mix it with rose, mandarin and sandalwood, you get Le Parfum Royal. All of them contain the same orange blossom but smell nothing alike.

Le Parfum Smells Like Orange Blossom And Honey

When you smell the Elie Saab Le Parfum Eau de Parfum, you'll notice orange blossom right away.

Followed by jasmine, which rounds off the floral notes. The base contains honey, patchouli, rose and cedarwood. Honey plays a big part in this perfume. It adds a sweet scent to the perfume, but not an overly dessert-like one.

Patchouli adds some earthy notes, and the cedarwood gives it a dry, woody finish. If you love floral perfumes that have a touch more warmth, then try the original Le Parfum. This will also be a good comparison for the other perfumes in the range.

Girl Of Now Smells Like Pistachio And Almond

You may not expect to find pistachio in a perfume, but that's exactly what Elie Saab did. The Elie Saab Girl of Now Eau de Parfum smells of roasted pistachios and pear.

The pear adds some fruity sweetness, and the pistachio adds nutty notes. Followed by bitter almond and orange blossom. Elie Saab calls this their exclusive Ormond Flower. Not a flower found in the wild, but more of a combination of floral and dessert scents.

The base notes consist of tonka bean, almond milk and patchouli. Tonka bean can smell sweet and vanilla-like, while almond milk adds to the sweet almond scent.

So you can see how Girl of Now differs from Le Parfum, although they both contain orange blossom and patchouli. One smells more like honey and jasmine, and the other leans towards roasted nuts and sweet almond. Girl of Now is a great perfume if you like your fragrances sweet.

Girl Of Now Shine, Forever And Lovely

There have been a few versions of Girl of Now since the original was released, which can get confusing when buying perfume online. Girl of Now Shine still has almond and orange blossom in the perfume but leans more towards fruity notes with pineapple.

Girl of Now Forever has more fruity notes in the opening with raspberry and lemon, along with orange blossom and almond.

And Girl of Now Lovely features frangipani flowers with orange blossom and almond. Frangipani can smell sweet and creamy with hints of florals. If you love Girl of Now, then this could be a great option. Don't think they're all the same perfume just with different concentrations. They're all different.

So make sure you know the full name of your perfume if you're looking to replace it.

Le Parfum In White Smells Less Honey-Like And More Like White Musk

As the name suggests, Le Parfum In White smells a bit different to the original Elie Saab. There are still orange blossoms in the perfume, along with jasmine and fruity notes.

The base consists of white musk and patchouli. White musk can give the perfume a soft, smooth scent. If you love the smell of orange blossom and jasmine but want a perfume that's not so honey-like, then try Le Parfum In White.

Le Parfum Royal Has Hints Of Rose And Sandalwood

Depending on the scent of the rose, it can transform your perfume. Some roses smell fresh, and others can smell very sweet and almost jammy.

When Elie Saab added rose to his popular orange blossom and patchouli mix, he created the Elie Saab Le Parfum Royal Eau de Parfum. It also contains mandarin for some freshness and vanilla and sandalwood to round it off.

So if you're trying to decide between Le Parfum and Le Parfum Royal, ask yourself: do you want a more honey-floral scent or a rose and sandalwood one? Keep in mind that it doesn't mean the perfume will be stronger or last longer just because it's called Royal.

Elie Saab Elixir Smells Different To Both Le Parfum And Girl Of Now

The next addition to the Elie Saab perfume range was the Elixir Eau de Parfum. It focuses on the scent of iris. Iris can smell very powdery and have earthy and woody undertones.  Elie Saab says that the inspiration for their iris comes from the Cedretti Iris in Lebanon.

They also mention a special Love Accord in their description. This means they've created a fragrance accord that is loved by people who smell it. If you love powdery floral perfumes, then Elixir is one to check out.

Elixir Love Smells Of Rose And Cherry

Another addition to the Elie Saab range is Elixir Love. It's described as red roses, neroli, jasmine and an accord of cherry. The cherry will stand out in this perfume. It can add a fruity sweetness to your fragrance, especially when combined with flowers.

Neroli can also add to the citrus-floral notes.  So keep in mind that Elixir Love will not smell like Elixir.

Elie Saab Now Makes Perfumes For Men

As mentioned above, Elie Saab made perfumes for women until they released their men's fragrance called Elie Saab L'Homme, which they describe as a woody vetiver fragrance.

Vetiver can smell woody and earthy. They've also released an L'Homme Intense, which has more leathery notes. So if you're a guy and want to check out Elie Saab, these are the perfumes for you. Which also means that this category shouldn't only be about perfumes for women.

So Which Elie Saab Perfume Should I Choose?

If you love the smell of orange blossom with honey and wood, try the original Le Parfum. Want some pistachio and almond in your perfume? Check out Girl of Now.

Like white flowers that smell soft and musky? Then try Le Parfum In White. Le Parfum Royal has some rose and mandarin with orange blossom and patchouli. And if you love iris, try Elie Saab Elixir. There are lots of options to choose from, so if you like one, it doesn't mean you'll like the rest.
