Meet Paco Rabanne's latest muse, Elle Fanning
Playful, passionate, and with a subtle Parisian flair, it is no surprise that Paco Rabanne’s latest fragrance was matched with the fresh-faced Elle Fanning. The embodiment of fame, an olfactive ode to femininity - Elle is the latest addition to Rabanne’s long list of muses. Joining the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Fonda, and Françoise Hard as a long-standing brand ambassador, the blonde bombshell energises the room in a fragrance that can only be described as a breath of fresh air - with a fruity twist.
An irresistible scent that radiates both joy and sensuality simultaneously, the fragrance boasts lush, succulent mango on the nose, joined by a delicate airy jasmine and an addictive creamy incense to finish. What comes to fruition is a luminous fragrance that is as self-confident and multi-faceted as its modern muse. Elle could only gush about the iconic brand and her fresh new fragrance.
Remix was lucky enough to get an exclusive interview with the muse herself - to find out all about her scent journey and what being a Paco Rabanne ambassador means to her.
