On me this is blend of citrus and vanillna (kind of reminded me of L by Lolita Lempika). It is quite sweet so I am not sure that it would be great for summer. Pretty scent though I wouldn't buy it.

Don't know about spring or summer, for me it's totally winter and fall. Since Intense didn't work with me at all, I decided to try others. Today I grabbed this one. I think it's very similar to Elle Intense only it's better. Elle Shocking might be shocking only to those who loves only innocent and pretty perfumes. I like this one- it's edt, but lasts and has sillage. Composition on me was so different from many perfumes and seems didn't follow any trend. It's berries with wood on me. Wood is very dry, like mahogany shavings- very original. Seems this effect is thanks to ginger. Peony is present only to fill the dryness and provide some softness. I like it very much and think it will be a good to wear in colder season, however now it's beautiful too, very YSL.

Agree with scarlett that it is a very good fragrance for spring and summer.
To me it is also a "happy-scent", and I liked it from the first sniff. It is sweeter and more fruity than the original Elle, but not a cheap floral-fruity, to me it is an elegant YSL floral-fruity. It starts citrusy flowery but the soft and creamy drydown comes quickly and is great. It lasts for several hours on my skin.

This fragrance certainly did not shock me.

It was unexciting, bland and common in my opinion. Definitely not a fragrance that lived up to all the hype surrounding it.

I wanted this fragrance to have that little bit of 'oomph', but instead it left me dissatisfied and waiting for more. The peony, ginger and mandarin notes were just a mess. I honestly would have liked to have seen more of a complexity in this fragrance, it was far too linear.

The scent remained the same from the beginning until the last few seconds of the drydown, which was fairly average, consisting of around 2 hours.

I'd probably skip this fragrance altogether and stick with the original Elle.
