Elie Saab launches first men's perfume
The first men's perfume by luxury label Elie Saab is called simply L'Homme. Fourteen years after launching its first women's fragrance, Le Parfum, developed by Francis Kurkdjian, the Lebanese luxury label has commissioned its first men's scent to master perfumer Pierre Guéros of Symrise.
Elie Saab's fashion and haute couture collections do not (yet) cater to men, with the exception of a few looks presented during a runway show in 2022, but on the fragrance front Elie Saab has now created L'Homme, a woody vetiver perfume full of intriguing contrasts. The refillable bottle has been designed by Sylvie de France, who had also styled the bottle of Elie Saab's Le Parfum. L'Homme is priced at €125 for the 100 ml bottle.
In France, still a minor market for Elie Saab perfumes due to the predominance of French brands, L'Homme is available at the Elie Saab store on Avenue Georges V in Paris. 'The main markets for Elie Saab perfumes, which has 13 directly owned stores and is present in selective perfumery chains, are the Middle East and the UK. Italy, where we have advertised on TV, and Spain, are markets where we have also deployed a communication campaign, chiefly on digital media,' said Nathalie Helloin Kamel, managing director of the Prestige division at Italian group Give Back Beauty, Elie Saab's licensed perfume producer since 2020.
Give Back Beauty was founded in 2017. It currently employs 500 people and is present in 130 countries, and has expanded its license portfolio in recent years. The group produces several product categories (fragrances, haircare and skincare), and its portfolio includes perfumes for Chopard and beauty products for Florence by Mills, the brand of US actor Millie Bobbie Brown. In 2024, Give Back Beauty generated a revenue of €300 million.
Fragrance isn't the only category in which Elie Saab is diversifying. For the Milan Furniture Fair in April, the Lebanese label inaugurated the brand-new showroom of its home decoration line, Elie Saab Maison, inside an ancient palazzo in the heart of Milan. A new initiative that highlighted the rapid growth of Elie Saab Maison in the last five years. Elie Saab is also involved in a few real estate projects.

Prada parts ways with CEO Gianfranco D'Attis by 'mutual agreement'
D'Attis was appointed to CEO at the Milan-headquartered firm in 2022, a newly created role at Prada, which sits alongside sister brand Miu Miu, as well as Church's, Car Shoe, Marchesi 1824, and Luna Rossa, in the Prada Group fold. In April, the group also confirmed it was acquiring fellow Italian luxury label Versace from Capri Holdings for 1.25 billion euros. Reporting to Guerra, D'Attis's recruitment came at a time of significant restructuring for the company, which saw the now former CEO replace chairman Patrizio Bertelli and Miuccia Prada, who were previously co-CEOs of the group and of the Prada brand. Prior to Prada, the luxury veteran served as president of Christian Dior Couture Americas, following a stint as international managing director of Jaeger-LeCoultre, part of the Richemont group, where he spent most of his early career. From 2003, D'Attis worked for watchmaker IWC Schaffhausen for eleven years, first as brand director for the Middle East, India and Turkey, before taking over as head of the United States and Canada from 2011. In 2014, he moved to Richemont's fashion darling Chloé as international director, where he led the strategic development of the French brand, as well as its commercial growth worldwide. Four years later, in August 2018, he returned to the watchmaking sector, this time working for another Richemont brand, Jaeger-LeCoultre. D'Attis's departure comes just hours after the Prada brand showcased its latest men's collection for the Spring/Summer 2026 season as part of Milan Fashion Week on Sunday. Tellingly, the CEO was not present. In its most recent trading update, Prada Group saw first-quarter net revenue rise 13% at constant exchange rates, held up by Miu Miu, which retail sales soar 60% year-over-year. Prada sales, however, were relatively flat during the three months.
