Love, Anne

I never thought I'd say this, but the name is appropriate. I think 'Love, Anne' quite a loveable scent! Having tested it some while back, I wrote a review about a pleasant bubblegum floral in the same general family as D&G The One, with which I still agree. It's airier than what it resembles but.... sometimes airy is actually nice. I recently came across a bargain bottle and was surprisingly drawn to it. (The packaging is gold and pink, haha!) Knowing it was not a total blind buy I happily brought it home - but imagine my delight when it became my summer dream theme. This is a LOVELY fragrance, not for any imaginary complexity, but because it layers like a dream. It summer-modifies many a fragrance I already own and find 'too much' or 'too little' on their own! It melds to perfection and adds an airy and happy pink aura. Something not quite sweet or floral or lighthearted enough? Add 'Love, Anne' and voila. It's the simplest modification and smells wonderful with almost anything. So far I have layered with Elie Saab Le Parfum, Avon Far Away, Far Away Intense, Fred Hayman Touch With Love, etc, I can easily see myself doing this all summer long! It's just the perfect little summer addition. Immediately useful and enjoyable. NOTE: Nothing prepared me for the quality of this bottle. IT IS HEFTY and expensive looking. There is something about the bottle that is more impressive than, say, most Chanels. An unexpectedly luxe gift to myself... and would make a fantastic gift for most floral lovers. Update: After a year on my shelf in a sometimes-warm room, she is stronger! I get so excited when I discover this! <3 I'd love more from this line - good stuff.

Like a floral fruity but milder and more mature. My first impression was that it reminded me a bit of Viva la Juicy and Daisy Eau so Fresh, which I already have. But then I noticed this was a bit milder. I lover fruit punch-style floral fruity scents, but also they just don't feel right when it comes to going into the office to interact with my mostly-Gen X+ coworkers or when it comes to visiting my grandmother. But this scent feels like it could work in those situations. It gives me those notes I'm looking for - bright fruit (the passionfruit note is sooooo good!!!), white florals, amber, and vanilla - but it's somehow more toned down when accompanied by the other notes. It's not something I'd wear all the time because it does seem a bit too mature for most of life outside of working in the office and doing family things, but it's lovely. And also, on a personal note, it for some reason reminds me of the times I'd spend visiting my grandparents' retirement home. Anne Klein seems to have kept some of those qualities that seems to show up in perfumes that smell a bit 'old lady,' but they also made it more youthful where Viva la Juicy lovers could still like it. So, all in all, I'm a fan, and I will plan on buying a full bottle (I originally just tried a sample) because it's all around a nice fragrance, and I feel like I would regret not purchasing this scent if I didn't.

This is great! I can’t believe I got this for $12 USD. It’s got such a smooth, seamless warmth and no note sticks out. My first impressions were warm and slightly sweet but not candyish. Evolves from a bright, lightly peach (to my nose) top notes to a warm, golden, base of vanilla, amber (only a hint), and cashmere. The closest thing in feel I have to this is Azzaro Pour Elle. They don’t smell alike but have that same fuzzy sweater feel. Love, Anne is more elegant and refined to my nose, though. It does sit close to my skin but longevity is good. Eight hours on my skin. I do not consider this a “sweet” perfume, and certainly not gourmand in any way, but my 19 year old daughter said I smelled like Toll House cookies lol

Got this for $13 at Burlington coat factory and I love it I've heard other people talk about a bubble gum scent to certain scents but I've never came across that until I got this!! I love it this is soft, sultry, bubble gummy and a feminine goddess great for an everyday scent very inoffensive, very wearable imo it's great for a summer day is not going to project beast mode but you'll definitely enjoy it as you move you'll get wifths of it and you'll have to reapply but that doesn't bother me at all I always carry my fragrances anyway

What a lovely, simple scent. I smell pink bubblegum goodness - the kind of tuberose/white floral fragrance that never smells old fashioned or elderly, but also smells quite linear throughout. Not a great deal of development. Certainly pink, feminine good cheer. If you love The One, this could be an inexpensive substitute. Not a dupe, just in the same family. Good stuff! Update: Now that I have been wearing her more, I do smell more of a vanilla/musk base, so there is a LITTLE development after all. Very enjoyable, if minimalistic.
