Spell On You

This smells like hairspray. I felt a bit rushed at the LV counter and besides Les Sables Roses, I was unsure what to get. I purchased Attrape-Reves and immediately returned it and exchanged it for this. (The patchouli dry down is HEAVY! I sprayed a sample card a week and some change ago and it still smells like it) It’s a pretty scent, but it really does smell like a hairspray that I wore as a kid. The sillage is laughable. I’m unsure of the longevity yet, but I think I may be partially noseblind to this. For some reasons all of the LV perfumes have this weird sweat smell opening to them - like a hot summers day. Maybe aquatic in a sense? Just sweaty .. lol. It’s nice and I’m glad to have it. Is it worth $300? Absolutely not. *edited to add* I wore this perfume today and have received so many compliments from strangers. Literally being stopped to ask what I’m wearing. I’ve been wearing it for about 3 hours and I can still smell it on myself (I sprayed a generous amount because it is a weaker scent) It wears very well and smells the same throughout the opening, middle and base.

My second review of this beauty. I’ve just had mine refilled at Louis Vuitton and I really love it. Fresh opening which is ultra feminine and makes me feel soft and elegant......the middle is rose and Iris which is a bit challenging because it’s real Iris palladia that’s used, not much probably but enough. Then the dry down is soft rose and peach. I’ve worn Ombré Nomade which is turbo charged amber with a punch which I also love but it’s a tough perfume to wear everyday. For me these two from LV have taken over from Chanel les Exclusifs because of the quality. I gave up on Chanel after trying the new reformulated EDP’s. Perfume love is a fickle mistress these days when NOTHING stays the same, gone are the classics that were always what they promised to be. Too much on the market, too many new releases so I go from house to house like a whore.......

I chose this as one of my wedding anniversary gifts, and it happened to be Thanksgiving yesterday too. This scent had been on my wishlist for a while, but every time I tested it in store I had a different opinion about it .... Yesterday it finally felt just right, especially because I’ve pretty much tested, used, or owned most of the LV scents at this point. I wanted to commit to a full bottle of this beauty (also the holiday packaging was too cute to resist) To me it’s a sweet sweet bomb of fruity florals with a dash of a soft powdery effect ... Old-school perfumery refined into something more modern and fitting for today. I absolutely adore it and love how it sits on my skin. It’s soft, ethereal, and very angelic in my opinion. - Bhavna Darira Chesan

This is stunning and totally blew me away when I smelt it in the Louis Vuitton store recently. It opens with a vintage vibe of powdery iris, violet and later a sharp rose. Later I can pick up a soft apricot/peach fragrance which intermingles with the powdery violet and projects for a good few hours. I love it. I want it and would love a bottle. Sillage is good for this type of perfume and longevity is fair. I just think it delivers that feminine vintage quality within a modern perfume. Plus with LV the quality of the ingredients shine like a light over and above the dross of other houses. Edit. I bought a bottle. 100ml. It’s really beautiful!

Delicate, musky, powdery iris/rose scent. I find Spell On You to be beautiful, I adore the LV musk and would love to have them all if price was not an issue. This fragrance is very light and sophisticated, it is not sweet and not particularly floral, but smells like a powdery luxurious lipstick. Great for daytime, office safe, formal events etc. With that said, longevity is about three hours on my skin and the silliage is intimate. Safe to say the performance is disappointing for this price range.
