Elie Saab Le Parfum Review

This is a suburban mom perfume. It’s on the ball, a little fun but not out of control.

Elie Saab is known for his elegant red-carpet gowns, and I’ve often admired Halle Berry when she’s worn them. This perfume completely fits that aesthetic. It’s pretty and put-together, a fruity floral that’s not too fruity. There’s a quirkiness with the opening but it doesn’t take away from the strong feminine feel that the body of the perfume has.

This is an orange blossom and Tuberose perfume that opens with what’s listed as “pomegranate” but really just smells vaguely like red fruit gummies. Honestly, I don’t reach for this much because of the opening and that seems to be all I remember when I look at the vivid red bottle. Actually, once the fruits are gone, this has a nice white floral accord that reminds me of Fleurs d’Oranger by Serge Lutens, and it has intense lasting power and sillage. I could smell 1 spray 6 hours into wearing it.

Have you tried this one, or any of the other Elie Saab perfumes?
