Elie Saab is a Lebanese fashion designer, born in Beirut in 1964. A self-taught talent, he began sewing dresses for his sisters as a child and opened his first atelier at just 18. He gained worldwide fame with the dress Halle Berry wore when she won her Oscar in 2002. Today his evening and bridal gowns, decorated with embroidery and crystals, are among the most coveted on the red carpet.
The brand's first perfume, Elie Saab Le Parfum, was released in 2011 and created by Francis Kurkdjian. Built around orange blossom and patchouli, it carries over the light and elegance of the designer's gowns. It was followed by Elixir and Elixir Love.
