Elie Saab Le Parfum | Resort Collection 2015

Hi Lovelies,

Summers is here. While I'm trying my best to embrace summers with summer prints, sunglasses and fruit punch, one thing that is meant to change with the season is my perfume. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle remains my all-time, all-season favorite fragrance; next in line is a new spring fragrance to my collection  - Elie Saab Le Parfum from the Elie Saab Resort Collection 2015.

Elie Saab is a fashion designer renowned for his exquisite fashion gowns. His creations are drop dead gorgeous and I absolutely love the choice of colors and shades he uses for his gowns. Elie Saab launched his first fragrance simply called Le Parfum in 2011. However, for 2015 the designer launched its first limited edition - Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection. Created by Francis Kurkdjian, the perfume came out at the end of February 2015. It is inspired by the summer couture collection and reflection of sun in the water.

"The fragrance is released in waves like a warm gentle breeze caressing the face of a woman who stands on the deck of her yacht wearing a stunning long dress in a shade of blue that is reminiscent of the sea. It is a fleeting but intense moment filled with noting but harmony" - Francis Kurkdjian, the perfumer.

The packaging gives a true insight to this fragrance. The blue shade of this new bottle perfectly matches the Resort Collection 2015. With the infinite range of captivating shades of blue, this beautifully faceted crystal bottle mirrors the changing reflections on the surface of water taking you the journey across Amalfi Coast - a chic and glamorous escape to the Mediterranean!

To me Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection is a beachy fragrance which is fresh, light and summery. What I love most about this fragrance is the beautiful warmth of Mediterranean, the tropical feel which spreads with the first spray and makes you feel as if you are strolling on a tropical island on a humid day. I think when I visit a beach this summers I will definitely take this fragrance along to experience the harmony of everything around with this scent.

Anyone knows which flowers are those in the background? I randomly picked these from the florist.

Notes

Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection is a springtime reinterpretation of Elie Saab orange flower signature enhanced with a sweet and gourmand fig. Top notes of a sweet fig and a mandarin zest adds a delicious and fresh sensation to this fragrance. One spray and you know exactly what you are dealing with! This is also my favorite note. In the heart note, the white and luminous bouquet of the original fragrance signature is enriched by a solar frangipani flower and white jasmine. At heart Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection is a fresh, orange blossom fragrance. The base note of cedar and amber gives a beautiful elegance and sensuality to the fragrance. A fruity-floral and modern fragrance, this scent is your best companion to summer vacation trip this year. Luminous and refreshing, the fragrance will not overpower at any point while you take a stroll along a white sandy beach with the bluest of ocean right in front of you!

While I have considered many fragrances to be perfect for summers in the past, I am almost certain that Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection is a glamorous designer fragrance choice and will definitely recommend it to you. The perfume truly holds the essence of Elie Saab and is as sophisticated and chic as his collections. It has great staying power and fades elegantly to its base note.
