Love's True Bluish Light

I reviewed this fragrance a couple years ago and my opinion has changed so much I don’t even want to update my review. It needs a new one. This is the most gorgeous creamy, sweet baby skin (as I’d noted before), lactonic in a light airy way - whipped cream so light it fluffs like a cloud, maternal - I smell new born baby in their mothers arms and the smell that comes off their skin together. Light musks swirl with the milky cloud lightly dusted with the tiniest amount of powdered sugar. The is a very soft light fruit, like maybe a peach... Or the smell of half and half after sliced peaches had been sitting in it. This perfume smells like love. I especially smell maternal love, but I believe it could be romantic as well. To me, this really smells like skin touching skin that is somehow swirling with clouds of the scents I mentioned. This is also an amazing bed scent. I spray my bed and pillows with this often. I recently repurched the extrait and I am going to go purchase a larger size of the EDP. It says the EDP leaves more of a trail and I would love to smell that! I may purchase the oil as well. This scent is absolutely divine and a true gift to yourself every time you put it on.

Loves true bluish light is stunning in its simplicity. A warm comforting fluffy vanillic musk that smells like innocence, dreams, kittens, and teenage angst. Innocence and mayhem all at once. This perfume is like going in a time machine and smelling all of those great 80's drugstore classics, at least the dry down of many of them. It really reminds me of the original Heaven Scent Vanilla. This is very near the original Heaven Scent Vanilla. If you like cuddly, romantic, musky and powdery vanillas that are reminiscent of the wonderful musk's of the 70's and 80's give Loves True Bluish Light a try. This is just delightful. Warmth, comfort and romance in a bottle. Edit: While I do love this scent, I find I have something quite similar in my collection by Olivine Atelier called More than the Stars. More than the Stars has the same musk and vanilla and amber here, but it also has almond, and lily which makes it more complex. If you want a comforting vanilla/musk that is very neutral but still powerful and long lasting this is a good way to go.

To say that anything whatsoever containing black musk is "pretty" is an act of courage for me, since I am, alas!, hyperosmic to it. But Love's True Bluish Light is really, really so incredibly well blended that I love it, and would recommend it to anyone who can wrap their senses around a gourmand - a sort of spicey creme caramel/flan musky mad little thing - that is a little more grown up, a lot different and rather fetchingly daring. Love's True Bluish Light is beautifully made, a sweet musky pretty thing that is creamy and sexy yet not overtly edible.Its a veritable compliment magnet, not to mention a real wrist sniffer, AND its niche but super affordable. An 8.5 out of 10 for lasting power and sillage, but a 10 out of 10 for the genius of the perfumer's blending of black musk in a gourmand composition.

As someone I think mentioned below, the name for this perfume comes from a line in the song Heart of Glass by Blondie. Which basically explains that the singer is/was in love with someone, but got her heart broken and love is not what it seems. She says she's "riding high on Love's true bluish light". Like someone else also described, I feel like this perfume describes the love you feel before you get your heart broken. When love seems like the best thing in the world and you can love freely without having to be cautious because you haven't experienced enough of love to know how much it hurts to have your heart broken. This scent is so innocent, but is the calm before the storm. When love is still seen through naive eyes. Precious.

Love's True Bluish Light I bought this mainly because I love the name. It sounded lovely but I wondered if it might be too "foody" for me. Well, Yes, this is gourmand, it is vanilla and it is rich and creamy. But I have to say, it is the most beautiful foody gourmand I've come across, and far from being heavy or cloying or too sweet. As it gets down to the base, it takes on a nice musky quality that balances out the sweet creaminess. This is a nuzzler, for sure. It should definitely be on every gourmand lover's list. It's the epitome of the perfect gourmand for me, since I don't care for the very sweet scents.
