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

The Elie Saab range spreads 0.119 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 2016.
