With Love

Another brilliantly crafted Guerlain perfume; I absolutely adore this one. The lemon in the top notes is clean and bright, and the florals in the middle notes are fresh and never heavy. The dry down is a delicate scent that wears close to the skin: Warm sandalwood that makes you go mmmm, blended with the green woody cedar that's just a little bit sharp. It's a perfect combination. This perfume is eminently wearable. It's such a shame that it was discontinued. I'll be searching everywhere for stock of this when my bottle runs out.

Dear Guerlain, Please bring us back "With Love", I tried it ten years ago (I was visiting a friend in France and she sprayed her perfume on me). Needless to say I fell in love instantly. I miss that scent ever since.

Received it unsniffed in a swap.I accepted the deal just because I love Guerlain and that I like it's bottle.I thought it's going to look good near my La Petite Robe Noirs.after my first quick sniff I thought:meh,nice cool and clean florals and left it in my drawer to come back for it in spring.now it's middle of May and now I can see how beautiful it is.it's simple and inoffensive,light and fresh,clean and springy yet classy,nobel and féminine.I can mostly detect freesia and a whiff of dewy rose petals blended with a hint of youthful and refreshing citrusy,fruity sparkle.I can also smell a soft touch of musk and something spicy here which I find appealing.cedar shows up after a while without trying to drag it to masculine territory. With Love stays pretty and lovely all through it's 5 hour life and stays close to skin showing it's effortless beauty.it's neither modern nor dated IMHO,it's timeless so I'm surprised to see it's a limited edition I'm not going to try to find and replace it after going through this bottle but I'm going to enjoy the one I have to the last drop

quince, sweet rose and freesias a la guerlain. voila. with love. this is almost a freesias soliflore, with a generous dash or sweet rose and a fruity quince undertone, until it dries down to a familiar powdery rosey guerlinade. but if i was to blind sniff this, i would put in a fruity floral category. i agree with you Archivist about the vol de nuit association and the briar rose. the veryberrycherry crowd would not appreciate With Love. This is too sophisticated. With Love sits slap bang between modern fruity and old fashioned classic. and i am not sure it would appeal to lovers of either. i am constantly sniffing the bottle, but when i wear it, it sometimes loses its appeal. quince is a bit of an odd one for me, as i dont particularly enjoy smelling of apples and pears. quince reminds me of the strong ripe fruitiness of apple peelings. i could not resist trying this when i saw the bottle on eBay. it is superior to the aqua allegorias, but it has a similar vibe to me. sillage and longevity are average, but not disappointing. with love

I got a small decant of With Love in a swap, years ago. What's left in my little splash bottle still smells fresh, which suggests the remaining stock out there still smells fresh, too, depending on how it's been stored. I wish the bright, citrus-fruity opening lasted longer. It doesn't project much after drying down. If I remember right, this pink pepper note was still an unusual choice in 2003. The cedar-heavy, clean musk base is a bit ho-hum, but nice. I'm not getting any "Guerlinade" from this. Reviews here and at other sites call it "polite," "inoffensive," "friendly." It's a fairly safe choice to wear anywhere fragrance is allowed, and a nice change of pace from the citrus/herbal colognes I usually wear when I want something light.
