L'Élue
Orange blossom opens clean and soapy, immediately swarmed by a fatty white-floral block where tuberose dominates, gardenia thickens texture, and ylang-ylang adds banana-like sweetness.

By the editors · 2 min readOrange blossom opens clean and soapy, immediately swarmed by a fatty white-floral block where tuberose dominates, gardenia thickens texture, and ylang-ylang adds banana-like sweetness. Jasmine and rose keep the heart lifted while plum and peach lend a candied, almost compoté undertone that prevents full indolic decay. The base lands on a plush sandalwood-vanilla axis dusted with heliotrope’s marzipan sheen; amber warms, musk blurs edges, so the late hours feel like powdered white petals pressed into pale wood. Projection stays at arm’s length for six hours, then cuddles close, ideal for temperate spring evenings or indoor date settings where indoles read as skin-like rather than theatrical.
