For me, the pomegranate spoils it. There is a pretty and sweet scent underneath but it never comes up for air because the tart pomegranate overpowers it from beginning to end.
3jiuktpohuk – :
Gorgeous adult fruity floral…is like a mix of ES parfum and EDT(patchouli is toned down) with a splash of fruit juice added…I had moderate sillage and longevity…will buy a bigger bottle for sure!
Evg12 – :
I really wanted this perfume because to my nose this is the sweetest perfume I’ve ever smelled.
It smells exactly like Grape Bubble Yum bubblegum! When I’m in the mood for something girly and sweet I wear this. So fun! Synthetic but fun and yummy!
replicaw75917 – :
Gorgeous fragrance by Francis Kurkdjian. Having too many fragrances with jasmin, I decided I want to swap / sell it. If you are interested please let me know!
broteks – :
This fragrance reminds me of Britney Spears Believe but way less patchouli. It has a Boozey fruit and honey with delicate white florals vibe and is very pleasant if not just a touch generic. I like it! The more than wear it the more I get the Elie Saab gene from it. It’s a very light scent so I over spray it and reapply throughout the day.
elenaromanyuk – :
I used to think there was no better orange blossom scent than Elie Saab Le Parfum Eau de Toilette. Well, I am wrong. Great as that one is, THIS is better!
I also used to think there was no stronger orange blossom scent than Cologne of Love by Couvent de Minimes. Wrong again. THIS is stronger!
The pomegranate gives voluptuous depth to the orange blossom in a way I can’t adequately describe. Sweet and rich, Le Parfum Resort 2017 is that rare thing – a tropical fruity white floral that DOES NOT smell cheap! Nothing like a body spray! A luscious and beautiful perfume. Addictive, powerful, wonderful. Just when you get used to the orange blossom and pomegranate accord, the frangipani appears. There is a riff on Alien, too, with sambac jasmine that lightly comes and goes.
If you see this anywhere, just BUY IT. No need to test. If you love orange blossom, you need this. Better than the original Elie Saab Le Parfum EDT, and that is saying a LOT!
Burn – :
WOW, what a beautiful TROPICAL summer fragrance! Orange blossom normally stands out prominently on my skin, but SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!! Fragipani and pomegranate are the strongest scents in this Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection 2017. And even more surprise for me, the pomegranate here is not cloying, nor “turn weird” on my skin at all. There are certain pomegranate fragrances that I can enjoy, but not all unfortunately. And this one is the right kind for me 🙂
The fragrance opened up with pomegranate as a pink bubble gum/candy smell, but not for long. After a minute or so, the bubble gum vibe went away and frangipani entered. And a strangest thing happened to me. I smelled fragipani around me like an aura, as if I tucked a fresh frangipani flower behind one of my ears. I grew up with this tropical flowers and would not mistake its scent with anything else. But when I sniffed on my arm where I sprayed the perfume, I smelled sweet pomegranate, and NOT the bubble gum kind anymore. In the dry down jasmine and orange blossom with a few drops of a fresh squeezed mandarin appeared to reinforce and refresh the whole composition of wonder.
It was such a magnificent experience that I had with this one. It is truly a beautiful floral/fruity TROPICAL fragrance for summer, promising a fantastic vacation and a relaxing time at a RESORT. And for a change, it does not have to involve “coconut”, nor “pineapple” scent…to make a nice summer fragrance 🙂
The other thing that still baffles me is: HOW ON EARTH DID THIS GEM GET PASSED DOWN TO A THRIFT STORE LIKE T.J MAXX, AND LIED THERE IN ONE OF THE CLEARANCE BINS FOR $30!?!?!?!? LUCKY ME!!!
P.S: I found a way to kinda “taming” down the sweet pomegranate (not that it bothers me, but I like to do some experiments sometimes with fragrances). I layered Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort 2017 with Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely EDP and I LOVE the result on my skin. The frangipani shone even more beautifully on me 🙂
werdmack – :
Almost the same as the original Elie Saab but it feels like this one is more intense and longer lasting.
kvvpereslavl – :
Elie Saab Resort 2017 has got to be the best fragrance I have found at TJ Maxx in a long time. I love the Orange Blossom note done by Elie Saab. So for $29USD I had to give her a go. The OB is apparent in this juice but is mixed with Pomegranate, Frangi Pangi and Jasmine. It also has some Patchouli that is gorgeous on the drydown.
I have not tried the 2015 Resort formulation but I think I need to hunt that one down now too. I have some of the ES Signature line which I find very well made and the longevity is outstanding on me. This one is no exception. It is an EDT that wears about four to five hours on me much like Mugler’s Alien EDTs (Shine, Eau Extraodinare and Flora Futura) which I also love wearing. This one is in the same genre. They are Loud and Proud at first but then they abate. This one is a great one in the heat as it is not all that cloying and divinely tropical. Give her a try if you see her at TJ Maxx/Marshalls. I did and I recommend!
pilomat – :
This one is so wonderful! And I finally got my hands on it. I havent been able to forget it since I smelled it in an airport…it smelled like Strawberries I remember! I m so happy to have it now, since its a Limited edition. My first Elie Saab perfume…! Love it!
tsezar – :
UPDATE: actually, I decided I like the one in the blue bottle better. This one is good, but the fig together with the frangipani produce a sweeter scent.
I bought this because I have the 2015 version, which I love to pieces. This is very similar only it has pomergranate intead of fig. Which is better? The 2015, or the 2017? Since to me they are so similar I love both. I love this kind of summer fragrance. Not the usual aquatic/ozone/citrus/coconut concoction we are deployed by come the season.
Good staying power for a EDT, but I wish they would come up with the EDP.
локтионов – :
Smells fruity and yummy but 3 puffs on the back of my elbow lasted less than 3 hours on me, after 2 hours and a half I couldn’t smell it at all!
Invalid34 – :
Opens very sweet and the pomegranate is not tart enough for my liking. It smells red, but after the dry down its tolerable because of the patchouli. Not my usual type of perfume but im keeping it because i think i would like it more in the frigid winter when sweet would be welcomed.
stas9522187699 – :
This is a full bodied fragrance! It is sparkly and in your face. It reminds me of Alien but with a splash of berry or koolaid. It also smells like the original. It leaves a big scent trail. I really liked it at first spray, but I don’t think I would wear it enough to keep it. I found it at TJ Maxx for 39.99.
eam772JeomiWogkig – :
Replica of original Le perfume edt with less longevity and berry notes at the opening.
Musky notes dominated after a few minutes of spraying. Complete disappointment as I already have a few Le perfumes at home.
ivan12e – :
I absolutely love this perfume, I have nothing like it. It smells like some tropical flowers, not too sweet, with some kind of slightly bitter note I enjoy a lot. First the package and some reviews almost turned me away from this amazing fragrance. It is somehow sweet in a more mature way.
Landochkin – :
This starts so sweet, it really reminds me of bubblegum. To me, orange blossom is the strongest note here, more so than frangipani. The pomegranate is very pronounced, too, giving the fragrance a juicy fruity note. Mixed with the bubblegummy sweet florals, I agree with some other reviewers that it smells like ripe wild strawberries taste. I would call it a summery floral gourmand.
Unfortunately, it turns sour on my skin after some hours. When the fruity and sugary aspects vanish, a very clean and sharp patchouli note joins the white flowers and ruins it for me. It’s better from afar, but directly on my skin the drydown smells too soapy and not rounded enough for my taste.
I guess this is a matter of skin chemistry, things like that happen to me sometimes. I would still recommend fans of sweet tropical florals and strawberries to try this, I’m sure it will work better for others.
Rezar 123 – :
Strawberry Bubblegum in the most uplifting, feminine and mature way! Blind buy for me and I reallyyyy love it!
Works wonder in combination with other fragrances(Guerlain L’instant and NR for her)
Vaska – :
Smells like mulled wine + patchouli. Complex, fruity but on me quite unisex. Spicy-sweet but definitely NOT sugary or gourmand. The bottle is more girly than the actual juice.
sims2000 – :
I wanted this because of the frangipani. Unfortunately with the pomegranate the frangipani is almost too sweet and it also gets rather lost in the mix. This is still a good fragrance if you are looking for something very sweet but not candy like. It has a fresh fruit sweetness and not a sugary sweetness like aquolina or Ari by arianna Grande. It’s still incredibly sweet, just fruity and no pronounced caramel or burnt sugar. I wish I could get more of the frangipani but this is still a good choice if you like sweet fruity fragrances.
Skylexx – :
The scent is good! It has floral and berry notes that quite fit the resort theme being the fragrance itself smells like summer. Although I like the scent, I cannot say the same for its projection and longevity. Projection was so soft and close to the skin and this only lasted 3 hours on me.
*I live in a tropical country.
tiestioxoky – :
The juice is heavenly pomegranate and frangpani. Brings you to tropics in the summer days and not lacking the power in the cooler days. 2016 edition is definitely less powerful than this beautiful summer-year-long scent
denis_95 – :
Forget about pomegranate. This smells just like wild strawberries in Scandinavia.
malyshkin.lea – :
I desperately want to try this because I love the 2016 (blue bottle)so much.
If anyone can spare me a sample, please drop me a line. Just click on my name.
Thank you!
Deroxslkhv – :
At first I was drawn to this perfume because of the colors of the bottle. Thought it smelled ok in the bottle cap. But when I got a spray on my skin and on the testing paper I totally changed my mind. Now this scent only remind me of the HORRIBLE smell in the toilets of some bar’s they are using to cover up bad smell…. uugh NO NO NO…..
RYBAK-21 – :
When I first smelled this I was like “Oh. My. God. This smells exactly like wild strawberries in a bottle!”
I’m actually quite surprised that noone has mentioned this yet, but to me this fragrance does not smell anything like its described notes, it just smells like sweet delicious WILD STRAWBERRIES – it’s like your childhood bottled up (and no, not the regular big strawberries).
This is a very unique sweet perfume. The sillage is amazing – fills the room and it’s quite long lasting as well. And the diffuser is amazingly smooth – it comes out as a mist.
arturb – :
I adore Elie Saab Le Parfum and the way it wears on my skin. As I am on the hunt for a wedding day scent, I thought it wise to test some of her flankers. Le Parfum Resort Collection 2017 seemed like the perfect place to start.
Le Parfum Resort Collection opens super juicy and sweet all thanks to the pomegranate and mandarin accords. I wasn’t expecting this fragrance to be quite so fruity, I was rather hoping that the orange blossom note would feature more prominently. It’s a very pretty, youthful scent however it’s not quite me and to be honest fruity florals rarely are.
The fruity aspect of this fragrance persists for at least the first three hours of wear before settling into a lush orange blossom and jasmine blend which is not unlike the original Le Parfum.
Le Parfum Resort Collection 2017 would make a fun and playful addition to anyone’s wardrobe, more so if you happen to live in a warm climate. Essentially this flanker is best suited to the younger market and for summertime wear. I find it a little too sweet for my personal tastes. The original Le Parfum is more my cup of tea.
Тася788888 – :
I LOOOOOOOVE this!!! It’s unlike any other typical floral I’ve smelled. It is the perfect combination of sweet & floral. I have a rather extensive perfume collection and this is my favorite. It’s bright, crisp, feminine and commands attention. It is a daytime, summer/spring fragrance only. I love Elie Saab perfume packaging also. This is my holy grail perfume….and as an added bonus, not every other girl smells like it (ahem, FlowerBomb). It’s limited edition and will be purchasing a backup.
dimon1974503 – :
I was so eager to get my hands on this, and I’m not disappointed! The original Resort Collection perfume is one of my favorites, and I love the original EDT as well. I would put this somewhere between the two. It absolutely has the underlying scent of the Elie Saab signature perfume. Sweet, creamy dreamy neroli and orange, rich jasmine, etc. In fact, that was what I could smell right away, and was concerned that I wasn’t going to get anything else! But of course, the frangipani came through, and strong. On me, it took awhile for the pomegranate to finally come out, but that was the best part.
I think within the Elie Saab “signature” line (Couture, Resort, Rose, etc), the original Resort is the only scent that stands on its own; the rest are definitely tied deeply to the original EDP. They all offer something unique, but are flankers to be sure. Rose + the original, almond + the original, and here it’s pomegranate + the original. If you love the original scent but want something a little more fruity and juicy, go for this. If you want something in the vein of Elie Saab but that has a distinctly different scent, opt for the original Resort scent.

Tested it today and now it’s in my wantlist
As soon as I sprayed it I could detect elie saab gene in it.anyone who is familiar with elie saabs can say it’s a elie saab with closed eyes but at the same time it has it’s own personality.it has a summary vibe,sweet and delightful
On my skin it’s a less heavy elie saab intense+sparkly pomegranate+soft,creamy,bright exotic florals.I believe pomegranate,which is dominant here,gives it fresh,juicy,summary vibe and has a big role in making it different from it’s sisters.I like it a lot and I think it deserves to be popular,much better than previous resort(blue one).all elie saabs have great sillage and projection On my skin but their longevity isn’t the best.one little spray of this one lasted on my hand for four hours(with amazing sillage in first hour).in everyday perfumes and skinscents longevity is an important factor for me but elie saabs are perfumes for special occasions and in this case sillage and projection is what really matters for me.this red,sparkly new member of elie saab family is a yes for me.it’s 90mil bottle is too expensive for me but I will buy it’s 50mil for sure
axoppygully – :
Oh.my.goodness. I went perfume shopping with a friend, and I was attracted to this vibrant red bottle. I’ve always loved Elie Saab fragrances, particularly Intense, finding them so distinctive, and as soon as we sprayed this one we were both instantly enthralled! We couldn’t quite put our finger on it, but it has a lollyish, nostalgic scent, like childhood sweets (thanks to all those who identified the bubblegum similarity! If Chanel chewed gum this is probably what it would smell like!). While it’s sweet, it’s not one of those cloyingly sweet perfumes, and dries down to a pleasant and creamy tropical aroma. It’s such an enigmatic scent; I live in Australia so I happen to love the frangipani note in particular, and I’m a sucker for pomegranate, but I think it’s the Indonesian Patchouli that gives it that added sophistication. I got it as an early birthday present and I can’t wait until my birthday so I can spray it every day!
armando – :
Yes the base of this version is definitely a lot of the Le Parfum original. It is unmistakable.
Of all the Elie Saab, this has the most lively opening. The previous versions will strongly but softly transition to their bases, this one is a bit different.
The first blast is sweet, tart and juicy. It will demand your attention. I concur with the bubblegum comparison but not your run-of-the-mill synthetic bubblegum. It doesn’t reach gourmand territory.
After all that vibrant opening, comes the Le Parfum original. That sharpness, piccolo-like brightness (that may be too chemically to some) is present here. The other 3 tall versions (Blue Resort, Rose Couture, Le’Couture) didn’t have that quality. I can’t shake the feeling that various notes from the other versions were pulled and incorporated in this.
rewat – :
I own Resort Collection from last year and love it-its very tropical floral, very lush, more of a white floral.
So when I was at Nordstrom’s today, I was excited to try this year version. Upon smelling it first, I was in LOVE-it was SO fruity and tropical, so juicy smelling it was amazing. So I spray myself several times and thinking “man, this is the ONE new scent I need”
10 minutes later it transforms into “regular” Elie Saab. Which is too chypre for my taste and too bitter floral so I can’t wear it even though I like it.
Ah FUDGE!
That was the end of THAT love affair. If you like regular Elie Saab, and just wanted more summery version with fruit, this maybe right up your alley.
mabi – :
Very sweet, tropical punch. Lots of fruits and frangipani. I like it but it’s one dimensional, with no WOW factor. Anyway, it’s perfect for spring, summer and early fall.
Rulya1976 – :
Shopping for a Mother’s Day gift today I was drawn to the bottle by the amazing colour. I don’t often try women’s fragrances unless I’m getting a gift, really liked this one, not surprised to see Kurkdjian involved, I usually enjoy his fragrances
mag71 – :
Oh this one is beautiful for sure! It’s sweet but not gourmand, which I really appreciate in a perfume. From first spray it is fruity sweet and then gradually becomes a deep borderline tropical wine-y floral scent.
A “cleaned up” patchouli, which surprisingly I like, despite my love for the medicinal earthy type, but it works here, and honestly to my nose it’s the second, maybe third more intense note.
Jammy and delicious in the best way. Blended well and very balanced, sometimes I can’t tell the notes apart. That’s a good sign for a perfume. An intoxicating and addictive fruitchouli; maybe the fruitchouli other fruitchoulis wanted to be, but instead they smell just okay or are mediocre blends. Please make it a staple in the line!
Cannot complain about the sillage, it reaches my nostrils only being sprayed on my wrists and as for longevity it reaches my six hour limit time. So longevity is not a problem.
A yes from me.
P.S.: if you like Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming, chances are you will like this too, only Resort 2017 is less headier and not as dense. But to me both belong to the same family
sanek7 – :
Gorgeous! Very summery and almost tropical yet not in a cocktail kind of way. I agree with previous comments that it smells of bubblegum at first. It might sound like it would be childish but actually it’s quite sophisticated. I am a fan of Elie Saab perfumes and I do smell that signature note in this. Yes, the original is there, in the middle somewhere more so than in the absolute drydown. Perhaps if you have the original or the edt you might feel it’s not necessary to get this. But if you’re a fan or enjoy the twist of this, I don’t think you’d be disappointed. It’s lovely, fresh, moderately sweet and well rounded. I might have to add this to my collection.
tarasan – :
I really like that one, thank you Miss Cherie for the big sample! it is juicy fresh, smells great, summery, a hint tropical,nice creation, compliments getter too..I detect frangipani, the juicy mandarin, and some floral notes.I like that it isnt all sweetness, and women of all ages could enjoy this..
now to me no similarities with Intense, with its floral spiciness..this is different.
Update: I have been wearing it for a couple days, and it is a bit like an Escada fragrance to my nose, I expected it to be more floral, but on me, it is like a bath and body works scent..it does turn a tad soapy on me too..
The Resort don’t have the quality the other elie Saab have..not that it is bad, it would work in summer, but it isn’t really working for me.
dudmaster – :
First few minutes is BUBBLEGUM! LOVE it anyway!! I’m not really sure what frangipani smells like but there is a creaminess to this in the beginning, not powder. As it progresses, it is similar to the discontinued EDT but more fruity. Bright and very pretty and will be nice for warmer weather.
elenanavl – :
Such a gorgeous scent
Intense powdery sweet bubblegum florals but it still manages to not be cheap or too young smelling.
If you are a sweet tuberose lover you have to try this.
I also get a hint of something green in this which nicely balances out the sweetness.
san4es83 – :
Lovely as the premier one, love both, great summerscent
Fosihas – :
They were giving tester cards today & thought lets give it a try
it’s sweet in a bubble gum way
not sure if I will ever buy it one day
it’s Autumn time here in Australia so not the season for floral fruity scents at the moment
Will reconsider next spring 🙂
faceman – :
Well, I couldn’t detect much frangipani in it. I live in Australia and I am familiar with the smell of this gorgeous flower. To my nose this smells like Le Parfum Intense version which I already own and love, a bit more sweeter. Great projection and longevity for an edt and value for a price.
smolyan – :
The review below is spot on. All is said. It is a shame really because the opening of this fragrance is intoxicating. I have Eli Saab intense and I can’t see the point of having both.
bastaniuc1997 – :
So I was looking forward to trying a scent with a Frangipani note. For those who haven’t experienced it, it is an unbelievable lovely flower, soft and creamy to the touch, with a unique scent. And there it was for me in the opening note along with a soft fruity note of the pomegranate. An interesting thing then happened into the drydown. This scent turned into Elie Saab le Parfum original, exactly. That very, very lovely scent. Longevity is excellent, the scent still lasting through 3 hand washes and creams. It would just be redundant to own this as well as the original, it’s that exact. I love the Elie Saabs, they all have a very joyful effervescent quality to them, reminding me of variations of a sherbet sweet. If you don’t yet own the original, I highly recommend you try this one, especially if you are looking for some Frangipani ❤
Zarpo – :
Have it on right now, 5 hours latter still can feel it.
The opening is sooo good! Really sweet and cozy, you can really feel it especially the pomegranate. But it fades quickly and becomes a skin scent 30min latter.
