What does XS pour Elle smell like?
Now discontinued, it is most often placed in spring and summer by voters, and it is chosen for daytime, work and leisure rather than for evenings or nights out. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters read it as feminine.
The top opens with water jasmine, peony and mandarin orange, fresh and lightly sweet. Neroli, freesia and amber bring the floral side forward in the heart. In the base, musk, sandalwood and ylang-ylang settle it into a powdery, woody softness. Penhaligon's Artemisia and Floris Night Scented Jasmine have a close profile.
