Creamy ylang, lime and coconut love
I blind bought Elle L'Aimes on a whim because it was so cheap on ebay (14€/40ml) and I noticed that I didn't have any summery coconut fragrances, even though I enjoy those. That was 6 years ago.
I've been using it ever since and my bottle is getting low, which is saying a lot, as I don't empty perfumes often. This unassuming cheapie is still one of the best tropicals I have ever smelled and might be my favorite ylang-ylang scent.
The first spray is very refreshing with citrus, especially lime, and a bit of neroli. Coconut and ylang ylang slowly come out of the background.
Soon this becomes a creamy, balmy, fresh but warm mix of white and yellow florals, vanilla and coconut. Dreamy and tropical. Ylang ylang is very prominent to my nose. It's a modern, sweet interpretation of the flower, not like the classic ylang you find in vintage fragrances. The coconut and lime mix adds a lively, happy cocktail vibe.
Everything is very smooth without any hints of sharpness.
Projection and longevity are good without being overwhelming. The final drydown is mostly a coconut skinscent.
I love to wear this in the summer. It's fine in the cold, but it really blooms on warm skin. I took small decants of this on every summer holiday I had in the last years, so now I have a lot of happy memories with the fragrance, too.
