Loverdose Tattoo

For the first time I don't know what to think of a fragrance! I unexpectedly came across this at a local chemist and I was soo excited as it has been on my list for quite some time due to the fact that it's a gourmand with many notes similar to Kenzo Amour (one of my all-time favorites). There were only 2 boxes left and they didn't have a tester so I just had to get it. I sprayed this on as soon as I walked out of the chemist earlier today (told you I was excited) and it was just...so unusual. The scent of milk and rice, as a few reviewers have noted, didn't seem to blend very well with the floral. It was also rather cold, not warm like Amour. It must be the lack of spices. I don't know but it was kind of meh. Still nice but I could imagine some who smell it on me will probably go "whoa, what's that weird smell?" Then I went to the sauna later in the day, when I came out and freshly showered, I thought I would try this one more time. And wow, the scent became something different. Rice and milk were still there but some unknown sweet notes radiated more, making the whole thing so smooth, sweet and creamy, unlike the first time I sprayed, which was like rice and milk, only with some flowers on top. It must be the higher temperature of my skin. So I must say, I kind of like it but probably will save it for the warm days in summer, or after sauna, when it smells nicer on my skin. UPDATE: I have found a way to enjoy this perfume. I use a hair dryer to blast hot air on to my skin right after spraying. Now I am loving it. Sweet, smooth and Very creamy with the right amount of edge! Longevity is not bad. It lasts for about half a day. After it becomes a creamy skin scent. Sillages is mild and safe for office use if sprayed lightly.

This is my first vanilla rice milk fragrance. I know there's a lot of comparisons to Amor, I haven't tried Amor, but there's not milk in Amor(milky rice is what they list). Plus the other notes of incense and tea, just wasn't sure how that was going to pan out. Tattoo seemed closer to what I was looking for. Oh man, for a blind buy, it certainly delivered. I always get nervous spending that much on a blind buy, but this turned out really well. The rice, milk and vanilla are all there for me and there's just enough of something else to make it not bland or boring. I think a few others said it's a bit weak, I'd have to agree, I don't think its a huge, loud scent. But maybe it just needs to breath or live a bit more to get there. Right now, though, it seems to be a lighter scent. It certainly isn't the strongest fragrance, but I think I'm ok with that because any stronger and I don't think I could wear it in the spring or summer. It's just light enough that I think I can wear it in the summer without it being too cloying. But I have to test that a few more times when it gets into the sweltering range to be sure. Overall though, I'm really happy and relieved on this blind buy.

Found this perfume on a fragrance card of In style magazine, funnily enough I have to say it comforts me. Milky rice dreaminess in harmony with tonka and jasmine. The juxtaposition of the name and bottle "Loverdose Tatoo" with the soft, inviting juice within. This perfume reminds me of my friends in the Gothic/Alt London scene...sure, you may be covered in tattoo's, have a green Mohawk, New Rock stomper boots and synthetic dreds, but inside your the sweetest person ever and we have cups of tea at afterparties while your kitten curls up on my lap. Edit: Caved and bought the gift set online. Really enjoying this as a nightly comfort scent! ^_^ It also smells expensive, really plush and just lovely. Only negative is the bottle, while beautiful, is hardly practical especially as I don't have a box or stand for it. It doesn't stand on its own and can easily scratch my other perfumes :/ (I have the same problem with Royal Revolution.) Still I guess beautiful things can't all be practical lol. For now I put it in another perfume box so its safe :)

Tattoo really doesn't smell much like the original Loverdose. To me, the original is very sweet and sticky; Tattoo is warm and comforting, soft and more elegant. The signature licorice note of Loverdose is missing from this composition, and instead, we get a delicious, creamy blend of milk and rice notes, with a few floral accents in the opening. I smell fresh, zesty notes of mandarin orange and bergamot, which fade away quite quickly. Then, the composition becomes very smooth and milky, strengthened with spicy accords of tonka bean and a very pronounced and interesting rice note. Everything is tightly wrapped in a warm blanket of sweet vanilla :) The longevity is good - 6+ hours on skin, and at least double that on clothes. The black glass heart-shaped bottle is absolutely gorgeous! This is definitely worth trying, whether you are a fan of the original Loverdose, or not – it's a truly lovely fragrance, and a great choice if you're looking for a grown up and sophisticated sweet scent. ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ

I love Loverdose but Loverdose Tattoo is a complete mystery for me : I can't detect vanilla, or milk, just a little bit jasmine and rose, and a lot of cassis leaves. It's wild and almost masculine. To me : a great disappointment. January 2014 : I have to change my review. A few months after my 1st test I tried again and I can say that I love Loverdose Tattoo now. I tested it in another perfumery and the tester has been open for a few weeks, and it smelt completely different. Maybe the fragrance has "matured" ? But I could smell a delicious milky-vanilla fragrance. Rice and jasmine notes are also very present. After this experience, I guess some fragrances need to mature to please me. According to me Loverdose Tattoo is a high sensitive perfume which needs to mature on your skin, then it ́s a true pleasure. Very comfy and powdery. The lasting power is not as good as Loverdose.

I got this one as a Christmas gift last year, I love it so much! When I opened it and saw the pitch black heart and the name having the word tattoo in it I thought it was going to smell a lot different then it actually does. It's very sweet, the vanilla/tonka bean mixture coupled with the milky note almost gives me a sugar cookie and milk kind of vibe. It lasts a really long time on my skin and even longer on my clothes, I can still smell it a day later on my hoodie! The sweetness could get very cloying so I'd suggest using this one with a light hand, two sprays will do. All in all it's a pretty perfume, if you like sweet scents then I'd say this is for you and if you don't like sweet scents then this is definitely not for you.

This one is quite a lovely fume. It opens up quite sweet; like a sparkling, sweet fizzy soda. The flowers show themselves quite soon and lend a jammy, slight floral effect to the composition. Half an hour later the basenotes come into play and that's my favourite part of the fragrance's progession: it still has the sweetness of the opening and middle stage, but it's toned down by the rice/tonka bean and the vanilla is the lovely, soft, full and round kind, thanks to the milk note. Sillage was quite big in the beginning, but it becomes a skin scent about 1 hour in. This one has to be tested on skin; the transition on a paper blotter was quite different to me; a lot more bright and fizzy, not the milky vanilla I got on my skin.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this perfume so much. My skin seems to cling onto musk and vanilla and there is plenty enough of that plus this smooth milkiness with a touch of floral... I adore it. Signorina is my favorite all time scent but this is now my second. The bottle suggests it may be a night time scent but I wear it at work and people always compliment me when they get close up to me. That said my sister who is more of a fan of floral and strong jasmine based smells did not like this. She smelled too much musk and not enough sweetness so it definitely depends on your body chemistry. I have not smelled the original Loverdose so I am not sure how it compares but I cannot stop sniffing my wrists and neither can my workmates!

To me Loverdose Tattoo has a slightly powdery(The Tonka Bean perhaps?), steamy, creamy milk scent with small hints of jasmine and rose and maybe a bit of rice but the rice isn't very noticeable to me. I don't smell any mandarin orange or orange blossom and I'm not sure what Cassis is so I can't say if I smell it or not. It's sweet but not oozing-sugar sweet, but it's still strong and slightly musky -- not overpoweringly so though. It lasts maybe four-five on me which isn't bad. I think any age could wear this. When I smell it I just automatically think of "Rock n roll". The bottle is also gorgeous.

I don't like the original Loverdose, so I almost didn't try this. Boy am I glad I did though. It is vanilla with a classic femme edge. Not girly, not sickly sweet. This one has a sophistication to it that is befitting of a lady. It starts out nice and warm... And it stays that way but with the most beautiful floral undertone. The sillage is comfortable and the longevity is wonderful. I get about 10 hours of gorgeousness. It dries down to a spicy vanilla floral without being fabric softener-y or having fading to nothing. I covet this! It is next on my buy list for sure!

The opening smells floral on my skin, with jasmine & orange blossom giving way to sweet milk & rice within 30 minutes. I've been trying to recall what Loverdose Tattoo reminds me of, & I think I've found it; sweetened condensed milk. Yum! The sillage is ok on my skin, radiating several inches from my wrists. Longevity is still unknown, but it's lasted over an hour & is still going strong. If you love sweet gourmand scents, & if nothing is ever too sweet for you, grab a sample vial of Loverdose Tattoo on eBay (the full bottles are kinda expensive for a blind buy.)

My favorite scent ever Some people in reviews say this is synthetic. I agree. sometimes I also feel that plasticky-ness specially in cold weather But this one actually works on my skin chemistry usually I get huge compliments whenever I wear this It's not niche, not well-blended but still unique, sexy, and cozy in the same time. really sad that this is discontinued I desparately need a DUPE for this It has sexy, aromatic, savory, lactonic, greeny(came from cassis), vanilla I love everything that comes from this

@Orshi gave the right image for this. no skirts and heels, but black leather jacket and additionally, blue jeans and black leather booties. this must be worn ith this combination in fall, i think this perfume suits this image best :) just like its bottle, there's definitely something dark in it. yes it's sexxy, but not like ch 212 sexy. tattoo has a more rebelliously and mysteriously sexy image and i think citrus notes contribute to that feeling. so i can say it has a character. try it, you won't regret:)

This is one of my winter favourites, which is why it pained me to learn Diesel has discontinued it recently. It starts with bright cassis with citruses which lasts for about 20 minutes. After that, my beloved phase of milky flowers goes for hours to be ultimately replaced with creamy combo of the base notes. It's called Tattoo for a reason, so expect soft to moderate sillage. Unfortunately I've read that some people's skin turns it into unpleasant smell of sour milk, so test before you buy!

Really beautiful fragrance, soft, lovely and unique. The milkiness, the vanilla, the rice and the cassis is a fabulous combination, and the bottle is oh-so-gorgeous. Unfortunately the longevity on me is medium to weak (which is weird, because usually fragrances stay for days on my skin!). I would buy it instantly if the longevity was better, now I'm hesitating. The original Loverdose is nice too, more edgy and noticeable, but gave me a headache.

This was a blind buy but it was rather a safe one because I love anything lactonic and sweet. It’s not too sweet though, cassis being one of the top notes it balances it perfectly. I love the bergamot and rose notes too and on my skin they blend beautifully. The sillage is not bad at all, which is an another plus for sure. It’s inoffensive yet outstanding and I think it’s perfect for everyday use except very hot summer days. I love it!!

I loved Kenzo Amour (vanilla, milk, rice) so I knew I had to try this, especially since it didn't have notes of frangipani that bothered me a little in Amour. This is a lovely, warm, comforting fragrance; perfect for the winter. May be too heavy in warmer weather. The bergamot really comes out on my skin and keeps it from smelling too sweet. Sillage and longevity are excellent. A very unique vanilla scent. LOVE!

I can smell sweet milk & rice, as well as jasmine & orange blossom in the opening. But after the 1st half hour the florals have all faded, leaving just the extremely sweet & slightly milky scent behind. If you love sweet gourmand scents, & if nothing is ever too sweet for you, I'd recommend Loverdose Tattoo. Just get a sample vial on eBay first, since a full bottle is expensive.

This was one of those "spray on, keep sniffing wrists for an hour, run back to the shop" moments. This is such a beautiful creamy, milky floral. The composition somehow just works. It reminds me a little bit of Kat von D's Saint which I also own and love. It's quite harsh and dark in the opening but the milky vanilla soon sweetens the whole deal creating something truly unique.

Just received my shipment. Love love love 😍 Vanilla rice pudding with a hint of spice and crushed caramel corn on top... But don't worry you won't walk around smelling like popcorn 😂 just a dusting of buttery richness. Yummy....super creamy, warm, and rich.... Now I'm sad this is discontinued and we hadn't met sooner. Edit: hands down homemade marshmallow rice crispy treats 😋👌
