Cologne of Love

A bombastically sweet vanilla (though not in the notes it constitutes the entire base here) fragrance with orange and orange blossom stripes all over. My boyfriend sniffed this on me and said it smelled like artificial orange drink, like Tang, for those of you who are familiar-not exactly a compliment and not what I want to smell like to others. I'm starting to think this brand and I were never meant to get along. The one in the blue bottle advertised as vanilla was thoroughly underwhelming, and the rose one in the red bottle smelled like straight up bathroom deodorant. Most of the colognes I have tried from LCDM, contain at least one artificial-smelling component which stands out enough that it's impossible to ignore. Now I'm not against fragrances which smell artificial, in fact I own and love quite a few. It's just that with sweet celebrity scents you know exactly what you're getting into. The packaging and the back story as well as the list of natural things included here all suggest a higher tier than this orange drink manages to reach. I still kind of love it through all my disillusionment, but I probably won't be owning it now that I know my bf thinks it stinks. Update- I own it now even though it's not fresh at all, seriously too vanilla-sweet and my boyfriend hates it. Sometimes the world makes no sense.

Don't look further for the best cologne with the most refined orange flower : this can compete with niche, high-end colognes, who are charged double or triple. I was searching for a good replacement of my vintage Hermes orange verte, wow, I found it with this one without any regret that it is just a weak copy ! No, Couvent's Cologne of Love is such a sparkling cologne but which is to me quite feminine and soft although it is a good unisex cologne but it is definitively not a boring simplistic mainstream cologne , much more refined than you would expect (due to the wild rose & nasturica) and with an amazing longevity : it lasts longer than average mainstream EDP perfumes on the market, a proof that Couvent is giving the high quality at really good price, no one can beat them in that category. And try all the others, I love the whole range !!

FRACKING AMAZING SCENT! If this was available for more people to sniff -- it would be hard to keep on the shelf. This scent is all about Orange Blossom with creamy vanilla. It is a sweet, wet, fresh, orange blossom. While sweet, it has this delicate floral undertone to it that really balances the fragrance and makes it BEE-U-TIFUL! The seville orange (bergamot) and petigrain -- mmm lovely balance to the whole composition. Excellent choice if you like orange blossom. If you like sweet perfumes you might really enjoy this one -- lightly floral yet still sweet. If you like the scent of an orange creamsicle, you will like this too - while no vanilla, it is a creamy sweet floral orange. Longevity about 6.5 hours via splash bottle, sprayed on - lasts 4 hours unless you spray a LOT. Similar perfumes: Nobile 1942 Perdizione Pacifica Nerola Blossom

About a month ago, I received a decant of this from a lovely Fragrantican (Thank you!!) as I was looking for a true orange blossom fragrance. I fell in love with it at first spritz! This is like sticking your nose in an orange blossom; it must be a bee's dream! It is not the orange fruit but the actual blossom. It's sweet and floral and long lasting for a cologne. I like to spray it in my hair so I get wafts of it all day. Cologne of Love is a Summer breeze bottled. Do yourself a favor and buy this---it's inexpensive on Amazon and I got mine from Ulta.

I got this as present with the soap. And when i tried it it was wow. you have to get used to the scent. It is a bit creamy-citric-floral scent that is very long-lasting for this cologne. It is very nice and relaxing espc. after a hard long day. It belongs in the tradition of the scents typical for French monasteries who produces soap-tablets and eau de toilettes according to very old formulas and with natural ingredients. This is a very great cologne for all day use with very good quality.

Some days this is bright and sunny orange blossom (sometimes with sweet mandarin), and other days the rose comes in with petitgrain as a sophisticated splash fragrance. I am not a fan of cologne because it fades so fast, but this one is worth the price and has good longevity. I didn't know it came in a huge 8.4 oz bottle, and that's the one I chose. It's just so pleasant and like aromatherapy. I only wish it had a cap for the spray and not just as a splash option.

Just received a nice sized decant of this heavenly little beauty in a swap. Like most of us members of this community, I have a lot of fragrances. Niche, vintage, designer, drugstore. Never tried this brand before, and my findings are this: Cologne of Love is not expensive. It is not flashy or impressive. Not a cult name. But oh... my... Lord... it is really one of the most absolutely beautiful scents I've ever smelled. Paradise. Found.

Thanks, Fragrantica, for adding this one!!! if you are a cheerful and a happy loving person you will love this fragrance ;-)) Perfect quality and smell!! Reminds me of our fabulous vacation in beautiful Provence!!! love it!! ;-) And this name!!! Cologne of LOVE!!

Like spraying yourself with a peaceful summer day. I spent last spring in southern Spain and, walking past orange groves, the air was filled with a scent like this. Beautiful, very feminine,I suppose, but that ain't gonna stop me!

It is very nice but not as potent as I was hoping for. Silly I know as it is only cologne. I will use it in the few warm days we have over here. It is quite weak though so dont expect any more of it.

I totally get the Froot Loops someone mentioned below, as well as fortune cookie! Very fresh and lovely, sitting close to the skin.

Smells really nice, not sweet at all. Smells like orange and green/herbal. On my skin it reminds me of Diptyque's Oyedo

You can certainly get this in "Boots" stores in the UK there is also a website/online store for the US

This is 100% happiness in a bottle. An instant pick-me-up. Warm, sweet, airy, innocent. So good.

This smells very similar to 4711..

Sweet, natural orange blossom is the story of Eau Aimable, a fairly new launch (2012) by the house of Le Couvent des Minimes, which has been specializing in botanical recipes since 1862. I love these kinds of colognes: they smell so clean and refreshing and serve the purpose for which the original historical colognes were intended. True, we bathe much more frequently in the modern world, but it's still nice to reach for this sort of olfactory pause on days such as today, which promises to push the 90F mark. Eau Aimable is on the sweet side and is not at all soapy (à la Prada Infusion de Fleur d'Oranger), but it still smells clean somehow, and not in the house of Clean way. This is not an abstract chemical soup, it's a wonderful combination of natural essences. I bought a huge jug because I'm basically a cologne glutton. (Know thyself!) I pour it into a smaller atomizer bottle for spritzing. Anyone who likes sweet orange blossom perfumes is bound to like this, and even if you find some of them too cloying (Elie Saab, the one from Kilian...), this one may work for you. But it is sweet, so no one who dislikes sweet perfumes will like this creation. In fact, given the sweetness level here, another group of people who might enjoy Eau des Minimes would be the celebrity scent crowd. The difference is that this one smells natural, unlike those. It also costs less, amazingly enough. I consider this to be a fantastic budget niche bargain, as are all of the salubrious botanical colognes from this house. Splash on!

What a discovery! I knew Couvent des Minimes for their skincare line and I tried some of their colognes in the past. Then I ordered a bottle of Eau Aimable on the verge of its discontinuation – just based on the notes: it was a bargain and I am always in the hunt for a good, fresh spring/summer fresh cologne. Blind buy. A treasure! It’s a fresh cologne that is centered on fresh, non-indolic, neroli-like orange blossoms. Orange blossom and mandarin orange dominate but they’re not artificial, just pure and fresh, like right out of a botanical garden. The bergamot adds some fruity zestiness, the heart is a wild rose giving this frag a very feminine touch. Together with petitgrain they compliment each other perfectly. And a candied orange note that is sweet but not syrupy, very gentle and non-gourmand like. Just simply appealing. I am reminded of Bond n.9 Little Italy - I loved that candied orange note - however Eau Aimable was way cheaper than Bond n.9 and absolutely long lasting! That was the amazing discovery. The lasting power. For a cologne this lasting power is simply amazing. At least 5-6 hours on me, which is unheard of. If fades gently but you still can smell it at the end of your long day. This is a winner for summer months. PS I have a full 250ml bottle bought as back-up that I'll never use, so it's up for sale. Europe only!!

I've been sampling lots of lovely orange blossom scents these past couple of weeks, because spring is making me crave them, and this is without a doubt the very best one when it comes to price/quality. If you're looking for a wonderful neroli fragrance, this is a must-try, and if you happen to be on a budget as well, this one might be considered a godsend. Eau Amaible isn't quite as natural as Hermès' Eau de Néroli Doré, for example, or quite as well-balanced in its sweetness as L'Artisan's Séville à l'Aube, but in both of these respects it comes pretty damn close for a fragrance that can be had for the official price of 8,40 Euro for a 30 ml bottle (and big bottles are even cheaper per ml!). And longevity isn't bad at all either, considering it's a cologne - I get good sillage for an hour or two, and then a lovely skin scent lingers for the rest of the day. I have to say I'm very impressed by this brand - really the very best "cheapies" around, at least from those I've tried. I've ordered a gift set with all of Le Couvent's currently available colognesand look forward to spending the warmer months with them. An extra bonus is that the marketing lets you fantasize about a simple life spent in a medieval convent, gathering natural ingredients to make colognes...

On me, Eau Aimable is mainly fluffy orange blossom with juicy mandarine pulp hiding within. The orange blossom here is undoubtedly sweet, but feels translucent at the same time, which prevents it from being cloying. The gentle touch of indole also helps to prevent it being full-on gourmand. I too find there's a vanilla undertone, which slightly reminds me of By Kilian Sweet Redemption. The sillage is moderate to close and the longevity is around 8 hours. The balance between creamy sweetness and cologne-like translucency makes Eau Aimable a lovely choice in cool weather as well as a sunny spring day. Moreover, it's also quite affordable. If you're looking for a straightforward yet well-composed sweet orange blossom, I think Eau Aimable definitely worths a try.

Hello smiley! This is real cologne. It's slightly sweet, tart and refreshing. Orange blossom scents can go soapy and this doesn't at all. It opens with a strong bergamot note on my skin and clothes, after a few minutes, the orange blossom and some fresh green notes appear. The longevity for this is amazing considering it's a cologne, I get at least eight hours wear and the sillage is pretty good even for my chronically stuffy nose. Considering the price and the good quality of this and of course the amazing way it smells, I would definitely recommend this for those looking for a bargain/cologne/orange blossom/fresh scent.
