In 2011 the Lebanese couturier Elie Saab introduced his very first fragrance: Le Parfum. Inspired by the designer’s childhood memories of his family’s Mediterranean garden Le Parfum transcribes a dual universe where the light of the orient and the modernity of the west meet. To interpret Elie Saab’s elegant universe the designer chose master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian.
“What I found fascinating working for Elie Saab was the idea of interpreting light; I didn’t have any specific images in mind – just sensations: the whiteness of the sun at its zenith, radiant femininity, a modern interpretation of voluptuousness…” -Francis Kurkdjian comments.
Le Parfum is a sophisticated, luminous floral chypre blending Orange Blossom and Jasmine with honeyed Rose and Patchouli. The scent is a timeless, feminine classic and in its very first year has scooped the coveted Fragrance Foundation Award for Best New Fragrance in the UK, the US and France.
Ten years after the launch of the successful perfume, Elie Saab would like to pay a tribute to the main inspiration behind Elie Saab Le Parfum: his hometown Beirut, the Mediterranean city kissed by warmth and light, animated by a sparkling nature full of scents. As Elie Saab said, “My childhood home was surrounded by orange blossom and when the wind blew, even slightly, it carried with it the essence of its notes”.
These olfactory emotions are at the heart of ELIE SAAB Le Parfum notes, a sophisticated, luminous floral chypre blending Orange Blossom and Jasmine with honeyed Rose and Patchouli.
