Yves Saint Laurent Elle Limited Edition 2011, Yves Saint Laurent Elle Limited Edition 2012

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 fragrances I’m about to finish – Yves Saint Laurent Elle Limited Edition 2011 and Yves Saint Laurent Elle Limited Edition 2012.

Let’s start with Yves Saint Laurent Elle Limited Edition 2012! This fragrance contains the following notes: peony, grapefruit and mandarin (top notes), jasmine, pink pepper and raspberry (heart notes), and benzoin, amber and vetiver (base notes).

I love this fragrance! I cannot believe that it doesn’t have patchouli in the notes. To me, it smells like a modern citrus-floral-patchouli fragrance. It’s a lighter version of the original Elle fragrance. Of these 2 limited edition fragrances, I like this one a little more. If they relaunched this limited edition, I’d pick up 2-3 more bottles (yes, the big 90ml ones) right away.

Onto Yves Saint Laurent Elle Limited Edition 2011 which contains the following notes: grapefruit and peony (top notes), jasmine and pink pepper (heart notes), and benzoin, amber and vetiver (base notes).

I love this fragrance too! It’s similar to the 2012 limited edition, but this one has a lot less of that phantom patchouli note. At the same time, it has a considerably more prominent grapefruit note. Gorgeous! This fragrance is bit stronger and a tad more longlasting than the 2012 edition. If this one was relaunched, I’d also repurchase it (1-2 bottles).

Yves Saint Laurent Elle Limited Edition 2011 and Yves Saint Laurent Elle Limited Edition 2012 are available as 90ml (if you can find them on ebay).
