Love Never Dies

Powdery without feeling dry, this is an uplifting, soft floral. Perfect for summer day-wear. It has good projection but could not offend anyone. As it dries down, it does move out of the powdery phase and develops more of the amber and sandalwood notes. As with most Arthes fragrances, they are so well blended and fairly linear I cannot discern the notes too well. That's OK! I don't always need to be challenged, especially for office-wear. Packaging and bottle are gorgeous and high-quality.

Wow, strong stuff! Great lasting ability. Good on it's own or for layering. Seems appropriate for any age as long as the person love flowers! I don't find it sweet tho, not really a strong sweetness to it more of a fresh clean flower powder base that should last for hours. Right along w the JS I Fancy U or PH Tease or Pleasures or Marc Jacobs, in that realm, floral n fresh. Good stuff esp for the budget wise! Cute bottle!

I picked this up online for under ten dollars and it's worth a lot more. It smells similar in style to Elizabeth Taylor's Violet Eyes, which I absolutely adore; the presentation, box and bottle of this fragrance would be very attractive to a younger age group, whereas Violet Eyes has the silly stigma of being made by an "old lady."

I love the mixture of fruits and the warm, powdery vanilla base. It reminds me of the usual Hypnotic Poison but with a special juicy-extra in it. Also bought in Germany 2009 but never seen it again. Shame. Update: it IS available in German drugstores again :)

I really do like this one quite a bit. I used up one bottle, lost another one half full, so I am on my third bottle right now. It looks very unassuming, and it is inexpensive, but my God it packs a punch. It does resemble Hypnotic Poison at its heart, but it is NOT a dupe. It is definitely a perfume of its own, with its own character. Sometimes I even find that I prefer it, depending on my mood. It lasts long, but I don't really know how it projects. No one seems to comment on my perfumes much. I have been known to love a scent and get bored of it without finishing the bottle (I've actually repurchased some bottles only to find out that I did not want the scent that much anymore), but so far I seem to be sticking with this one, even though it was the only perfume I had for a while a couple of years back.
