What is Elie Saab's most famous perfume?
Elie Saab's most famous perfume is Le Parfum (2011), the brand's debut fragrance, created by Francis Kurkdjian. It features a solar orange blossom, rose honey, and cedar composition that perfectly captures the luxury of Saab's couture. Other notable fragrances include Girl of Now (2015) and Nuit Noor (2016). Having sampled the Elie Saab range at The Parfumes Shop, we find Le Parfum Royal to be an exceptional interpretation — try it as a 10ml sample.
What does Elie Saab Le Parfum smell like?
Elie Saab Le Parfum opens with a radiant orange blossom note, creating a bright, solar floral impression. The heart reveals a rich rose honey accord and jasmine, adding warmth and sweetness. The base of patchouli, cedar, and ambery notes provides a sophisticated, woody dry-down. In our testing at The Parfumes Shop, we find Le Parfum to be one of the best orange blossom fragrances in the designer category — luminous, feminine, and elegant. For a more intense version, try Le Parfum Royal as a 10ml sample.
What does Elie Saab Girl of Now smell like?
Girl of Now (2015) is a gourmand floral that opens with almond and pear, creating a sweet, nutty freshness. The heart reveals orange blossom and jasmine, while the base combines almond milk, tonka bean, and patchouli. The overall impression is of a modern, sweet, addictive fragrance — like a sophisticated almond pastry. Having tested it at The Parfumes Shop, we find Girl of Now appeals to customers who enjoy sweet, gourmand fragrances but want something more refined than typical vanilla-heavy scents.

Is Elie Saab a luxury perfume brand?
Yes, Elie Saab is a luxury brand. According to Elie Saab's Wikipedia page, the Lebanese designer has been creating haute couture since the 1980s and is a member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. The fragrance division maintains the same luxury positioning as the fashion house, using quality ingredients and premium packaging. At The Parfumes Shop, we make Elie Saab fragrances accessible through 10ml samples — try Nuit Noor or Le Parfum Royal to experience this luxury house.
