Advantages: nice packaging and bottle design, nice scent Disadvantages: poor staying power
Yves Saint Laurent Elle is a fragrance which was released by YSL in October 2007; as well as the perfume you can also purchase other YSL Elle fragranced bath and beauty products which also help to layer and compliment the scent of the perfume. People who have dry skin and find that the perfume doesn't have particularly good staying power on them would benefit from using the complimentary shower gel and body lotion before applying the perfume as this ... ...problem.

Advantages: Nice composition, fresh and sensual Disadvantages: Not groundbreaking, pricey
Having never worn an Yves Saint Laurent fragrance myself, as for some reason I've found them too mature for my taste at the time, I was intrigued to find a complimentary sample of their latest fragrance 'Elle' that arrived with the items I bought off Ebay. Yves Saint Laurent or YSL for short were all the rage in the 80s or maybe it's just the era I most remember them for and until today I'm having mental images of neon fuschia batwing jumpers and ... ...their classics such as Opium or Paris.
=== The packaging ===
The tall, rectangular bright fuschia bottle somehow reminds me of the eighties and disco dance floors, perfectly setting the scene for a fresh, energetic but sweet and girly perfume. The top of the bottle is encased between in a golden metallic plate on two sides and has the entwined YSL logo engraved in it. The bottle looks very well-defined, slightly masculine even though slim-lined ...

Advantages: suitable for all occasions, without being tame Disadvantages: slightly disppointing lasting power
I stumbled across this by accident when it was first released last autumn. The YSL counter in our local John Lewis had a promotion going on. What I really wanted was the mini bottle of Opium that was part of a gift set. One had to buy either the new fragrance Elle or two other products. I sniffed the bottle and expected to go for the second option to get the gift set. But before deciding for certain I accepted a paper strip with the fragrance on ... ...sweet, and was inclined to dismiss it. I like sweet smells in cold weather, even Angel, but I can do without floral scents. Strange, I suppose, since almost all fragrances contain floral components. But I'm referring to overall scent.
In the meantime the initial blast had settled a bit. Fruity and spicy elements were coming through after ten minutes. I generally like fruity tendencies in a perfume, but they can be overly simplistic or girly. In ...

Advantages: Smell, Staying power, can be worn on any occassion Disadvantages: Bottle seems slightly fragile, possibly value for money
I absolutely adore this perfume!!
It has a quirky design, with a pink bottle and gold lettering making it a huge attraction for the girly girl. Although being quite clumsy I am always afraid of dropping the bottle as it does appear a little fragile.
YSL is a very fashionable name and many girls always dream of owning a little bit of fashion and for this price they now can. I received my bottle of perfume as a gift however, from the price comparison ... ...a fairly reasonable price of £35, which in the broad scheme of things is not too bad. This mixed with the fact that you only need to use 2 squirts at a time meaning it will last for ages!!!
The smell is fruity and sweet with a slight hint of spice but it's not over-bearing. The staying power is amazing and with 2 squirts it will last at least 12 hours. The smell is irresistable and can be worn for any occassion as it smells great anywhere.
I would ...

Advantages: Gorgous smell, doesn't fade, lovely and feminine, gorgeous bottle Disadvantages: The bottle is a little heavy for travelling
I have a few perfumes and don't like things that smell too strong. It is a little difficult to decribe a prefume, but this one is feminine, velvety rich, luscious and has hints of rose, jasmine, berries and a deeper kind of woody/earthy smell to it. Initially when my friend recommended this, I though it smelled too string. But after applying it it smelled gorgeous. I bought it before my wedding, and used it regularly and used it up just recently, ... ...disapper shortly after applying like some perfumes! I love the body lotion too, at Christmas time, it's a good set to look out for as the matching Elle lotion + Elle perfume is only around £2 more expensive to buy than the perfume alone! Also, if you buy this from a perfume counter, be sure to ask for a little sample of something else, so far I've not had a no yet! ...
