L’Élu is a 1946 chypre that portrays an elegant and reserved woman, with a noble and sensitive heart, wrapped in velvety narcissus and roses amidst grey and blue tones. The base of oakmoss and cedar gives it strength and character. A personality that would fit perfectly is that of Greta Garbo. L’Élu, a work of art that deserves to be rediscovered.
