This is one of my signature scents/favorite frangrances. I don't see it around much and I'm not sure why but as long as I could still purchase this online I'm happy, because I'll be purchasing this perfume for the rest of my life. I LOVE THIS!! It seems like it was made for me. It smells so sexy and unique and unlike any other frangrance I've ever smelt before. Usually perfumes all smell the same to me but not this one. It smells peppery/woodsy/floral and I love it soo much. It's very modern and not too girly and has a very "expensive" smell to it. Perfect for a sexy night out.

Light soft flowers and citrus with a woody base. Very ethereal but also a bit too sweet on me with the berries and freesia. Okay but very bland. I didn't get the hamster bedding cedar notes, but that review made me laugh out loud (I've owned hamsters and I've sampled perfumes that did just that on me. Ah, fresh cedar chips!) Elle was okay but nothing special on me.

surprise surprise! another perfume i like that is also being discontinued. elle reminds me a bit of midnight poison. except poison doesnt have the hamster bedding note (cedarwood) to it. the cedarwood in elle isnt exactly offensive. but its just that , that note smells exactly like clean hamster bedding. one time while wearing this,my mothers friend asked me if i owned hamsters or if i worked at a pet shop.i prefer elle intense.which has the same notes as elle, but amplified.and surprisingly the cedarwood isnt. i can barely detect it in elle intense

I absolutely LOVE< LOVE< LOVE this perfume, and have to say that it is the one that has been a mainstay for the length of time it was produced. :'( I don't know why they discontinued it, if i had know that was going to happen, I would have bought about 10 bottles of it. It has a yummy woodsy, peppery, soft floral smell, and TO ME, it also smells a little like sandalwood, although I don't think that is in there. For me... this would be (if i could find it) a perfume that I would keep forever, and THAT is very unusual ...normally get tired, or grow out of the smells and move on to try something new. continued >>

Love how this scent mixes with my body chemistry. I tried it years ago when it first came out at a Sephora, and I have been hooked ever since. It is fairly strong, as others mention, so I only spritz it once on my neck. I think one of my favorite things about this fragrance is how often I get compliments on it. I've had everyone from a cashier at a grocery store to a fellow student in a class to another shopper in a store stop me to beg me for the name of what I'm wearing. Only big regret is that it's been discontinued (in the states?) and it's impossible to find. Thank god for the internet, I guess, because I can't live without my Elle!

I love this. It's my current favourite, and it must be good because I've used it more than I've used any other perfume in the past. It's not too strong and heady, and doesn't give me a headache like some of them. I first tried it when a salesgirl sprayed it on me in the airport duty free. I resisted the temptation to buy it (and they did have it on a good offer), but I liked it so much once it was on that I ended up buying it on holiday, and had to pay more. I must admit that I haven't had lots of obvious compliments when I wear it (as I have done with Clinique Aromatics and my Kenzo one - perhaps it is more subtle), but I love it, and anyone who has smelt it straight from the bottle, has said how lovely it is.

I love this product, unlike some fragrances it actually smells nice on me. The key is to use sparingly so I only spray once otherwise its an overkill and people start running from you ;-)

I use it on a daily basis but I'm also a fan of heavier fragrances such as Angel, Alien and Chanel No 5 etc.

I've had my bottle for quite some time and it is still going strong so good value for money too. Mind you, I was pretty cranky when I went online and found a website called Fresh that had it for half the price of what I paid originally, grrr.....!

If you like light fragrances then this won't be for you but I personally love it :-)

This is definitely my favourite evening fragrance, I love it! It is woody and spicy but sufficiently floral to sweeten it up a little and make it more feminine. As it is quite heavy I rarely wear it in the daytime, and I prefer to use it as a winter fragrance. The staying power is great, it lasts for hours. And as a bonus the bottle looks so pretty in my room! I will repurchase forever.
