Elie Saab

What the Elie Saab range is made of

57% of the 28 Elie Saab fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain patchouli. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Elie Saab returns to patchouli more than to anything else — across 28 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads sweeter than the catalogue as a whole: sweetness averages 0.52 against 0.40 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

Elie Saab releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.098 — narrow. Someone who likes one Elie Saab fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2016.
