Pour Elle

Azzaro Pour Elle came out in 2015 under Clarins Fragrance Group as the feminine counterpart to Azzaro pour Homme. Nathalie Lorson and Fabrice Pellegrin composed a floral woody amber: a rosé Champagne accord and green cardamom on top, rose and lily in the heart, cashmere wood and olibanum incense in the base. In 2025, the house reused the name for a different eau de parfum.

Azzaro Pour Elle came out in 2015, conceived by the house as the feminine mirror of Azzaro pour Homme, the 1978 men’s fragrance. Nathalie Lorson and Fabrice Pellegrin composed it together for Clarins Fragrance Group, which then owned the brand.

Azzaro celebrates in it a woman who dares: self-assured, playful, hedonistic, deeply sensual, and who knows what she wants. The brand gives it a floral, woody and amber signature and sells it as a refillable eau de parfum, in 30, 50 and 75 milliliters.

A premiere for Brazil

Clarins first reserved the launch for Brazil, where Azzaro pour Homme ranks among the best-selling imported men’s fragrances. The brand announced Pour Elle there in March 2015 and presented it in São Paulo on March 26, with Ana Beatriz Barros as its face.

The fragrance did not stay exclusive to the Brazilian market for long: Chant Wagner of The Scented Salamander spotted it as early as January 2015 in Belgium, at ICI Paris XL perfumeries. Now Smell This announced its release at the end of March.

A growing line

Nathalie Lorson and Fabrice Pellegrin also created Azzaro Pour Elle Extrême, released in early 2016 as a 75-milliliter eau de parfum built around cardamom, saffron and rose. The house also offers a softer eau de toilette, pairing rosy notes with white musk and cardamom.

A name reused in 2025

In 2025, Azzaro gave the name Pour Elle to a new 100-milliliter eau de parfum, described in entirely different terms. Azzaro presents it as a fruity, woody floral, sweet like a rose macaron, built on lemon, rose and sandalwood.

This is the version that major French perfumeries sell today, under the original’s name. Apart from rose, none of the materials declared in 2015 appears in its description.

What critics say

In June 2015, the author of the Canadian blog Cosmetic Proof found it a sweet floral, fairly potent, with a pronounced musky base, lasting through the day and wearable even at the office despite its sensuality.

The advertising

Ana Beatriz Barros and Ian Somerhalder

Brazilian model Ana Beatriz Barros embodies Pour Elle opposite Ian Somerhalder, the face of Azzaro pour Homme, in a film shot in Italy.

As early as the 2014 announcement, Clarins planned a television campaign fronted by Ana Beatriz Barros. The Brazilian model had already played the female role in the Azzaro pour Homme film, shot by Jonas Åkerlund on the shores of Lake Como and released in spring 2014.

Pour Elle reunites her with Ian Somerhalder, the Vampire Diaries actor who became the face of Azzaro pour Homme that year. The film, shot in Italy, replays a game of seduction and glamour between them, designed for the 2015 Brazilian launch.
