Posted by Robin on 12 June 2014 10 Comments

Elie Saab La Collection des Essences Rose and Gardenia

Elie Saab will launch La Collection des Essences, a new quartet of luxury unisex fragrances, in September. The series was developed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, and features Essence No. 1 Rose, Essence No. 2 Gardenia, Essence No. 3 Ambre and Essence No. 4 Oud.

Essence No. 1 Rose  ~ styled as "the rose of a thousand faces”, with Turkish, Bulgarian and Grasse rose.

Essence No. 2 Gardenia ~ a woody floral with jasmine and sandalwood.

Elie Saab La Collection des Essences Ambre and Oud

Essence No. 3 Ambre ~ with opopanax, patchouli, and sandalwood.

Essence No. 4 Oud ~ with black pepper, benzoin, and agar wood.

I will update with sizes and concentration when I can.

Update: La Collection des Essences are sold in 100 ml, concentration unknown, £160 each.

    This sounds wonderful Robin, especially the Ambre and Oud. What better combination to create beauty than Elie Saab and Francis Kurkjian?
    Everything they touch turns into gold!

      They sound really nice. I’d love to know what they cost :-)

    I’ll probably get around to sampling the rose, because I feel compelled to sniff every new rose that comes out, but Cap’n Kurk’s creations generally don’t work well on me, although I can always recognize the excellent quality.

      I’ll certainly try them if I can. No idea about the distribution either…

    I want to test Rose (that dark pink is beautiful!) and Amber the most. Now if only the oud didn’t have black pepper….

    Wow! The rose sounds amazing! I am a fan of Francis K. and I love Elie Saab Intense. Will definitely check this one out.

    3 out of 4 of the notes I am not into. But would like to sniff them all anyway. A coffret would be very nice, I agree.

    i have tested the rose one, it’s an excellent perfume, it gives nice feelings… a sense of psychological comfort with oriental touch <3
