Pros & Cons

  • It is beautiful... extremely reminiscent of its predecessor
  • Worth a try? Yes.
  • I really don't mind this perfume... I was pleasantly surprised.
  • It is beautiful... extremely reminiscent of its predecessor.
  • Love this patchouli bomb.
  • rest in piss, dear Elle
  • I loved the 'original' Elle but found its projection and longevity disappointing. Sadly, this iteration may be even worse in that regard.
  • It lacks its complexity and depth... much more linear, transparent and tamed.
  • Projection and longevity disappointing... may be even worse... have to massively overspray and fanatically reapply.
