Le Parfum Resort Collection
by Elie Saab
Le Parfum Resort Collection is a bright, summery fragrance centered on a soft blend of white floral notes, fruity fig, and tropical citrus. It opens with a lively, slightly sweet fig note that quickly fades into a delicate medley of orange blossom, jasmine, and frangipani, creating a fresh and feminine aura. The base features smooth amber and subtle cedar, adding warmth and depth without overpowering, with a slight soapy or clean tendency that enhances its lightweight, beachy character. While it shares DNA with other Elie Saab creations, it stands apart as lighter and less complex than the original Le Parfum or L’eau Couture. The scent evolves into a soft, sweet floral with a clean, carefree feel, ideal for daytime wear in warm weather. It performs well on skin and lingers moderately, though the longevity is typically moderate rather than long-lasting. Many find it satisfying as an elegant, easygoing summer scent, while others perceive it as familiar, generic, or lacking in distinction compared to core Elie Saab fragrances.
