What does Fou d'Elle smell like?
It opens with pepper, jasmine, peach and lotus, where the fruity and green sides come forward. In the heart, hyacinth, freesia and rose fill out the floral texture while praliné sweetens it. Vanilla and cedarwood in the base soften that sweetness and settle it onto a lightly woody ground. Its profile is close to Pacifica Flower Moon and El Nabil Girl Musc.
