Xerjoff Elle(100ml)

Elle holds a significant place in the Xerjoff legacy as the very first fragrance created for the brand's inaugural 17/17 Stone Label Collection. Launched in 2007, it was designed to embody a "resolutely feminine" spirit—graceful, sophisticated, and polished.Because it was the pioneer of the 17/17 line, it set the standard for the collection’s hallmark: the use of rare, high-quality ingredients housed in artistic bottles adorned with hand-cut semi-precious gemstones.The Olfactory ProfileElle is a Floral Oriental (or Amber Floral) that balances a bright, almost "shampoo-clean" freshness with a deep, resinous woody base.The Opening (The Radiance):

The fragrance begins with a sparkling, crystalline energy. African Orange Flower and Citruses provide a luminous floral brightness, while Galbanum adds a sophisticated "green" edge that prevents the scent from becoming overly sweet.The Heart (The Elegance):

As the top notes settle, the heart reveals a complex, powdery texture. Iris (Orris) is the star here, giving the scent a refined, velvety feel. This is supported by Birch and Patchouli, which introduce a subtle woodiness and a hint of "chilled" leather.The Base (The Anchor):

The dry down is warm and incredibly long-lasting. Benzoin and Opoponax provide a resinous, balsamic sweetness, while Amber and Musk create a soft, sensual trail that clings to the skin.Key Fragrance NotesLayerNotesTopAfrican Orange Flower, Citruses, GalbanumHeartIris, Birch Wood, Patchouli, Woodsy NotesBaseBenzoin, Opoponax, Amber, MuskElle vs. Elle AnniversaryIn 2023, Xerjoff released Elle Anniversary to celebrate the original's legacy. If you are looking at both, here is how they differ:Original Elle: Focuses on Iris, Birch, and Resins. It is more "serious," sophisticated, and has a classic, elegant vibe.Elle Anniversary: Introduces a younger, sweeter twist. It features prominent notes of Lychee, Green Apple, and Red Fruits, making it juicier and more "vibrant" compared to the original’s powdery elegance.Performance & PresentationPerformance: True to its 17/17 status, it offers above-average longevity (8–10 hours) and a moderate but persistent sillage that "wafts" beautifully.The Flacon: The original is famous for its Stone Label—a unique piece of hand-polished gemstone (often different for every bottle) set into the glass, making each one a unique work of art.Best ForOccasions: A true "all-rounder" with signature scent potential. It’s polished enough for the office but expensive-smelling enough for formal evenings.Seasonality: While it shines in the Spring due to its floral heart, its ambery base allows it to transition perfectly into cooler weather.
