Fame in Love

One of my favorite blind buys ever! The immediate opening smells like a freshly muddled, strawberry basil cocktail/mocktail with a hint of citrus. Big emphasis on the word fresh, as the strawberry note smells like real pureed strawberries and not like strawberry hard candy, ice cream, marshmallows, lip gloss, etc. It’s still sweet but in an airy and somewhat realistic way. I’m not getting much, if anything, in terms of the incense and patchouli notes yet, but a beautiful floral powderiness develops on skin as the perfume dries down. It’s not particularly cosmetic-like to my nose and also not as prominent on clothing or paper as it is on skin. The mineral note here does to Fame in Love what the gunpowder note does to Flowerbomb Nectar. It’s what gives this perfume that little extra something; a wonderful crisp and icy quality. Think of it as the antithesis of all the heavy gourmands that are popular right now. The scent overall leans quite feminine IMO, but I can see individuals of any age enjoying it. It’s unique, inoffensive and just sweet enough. I'll provide an update on the lasting power once I've had it a bit longer, but for now I'd say longevity and sillage are both moderate. :) ** Editing to say I received a sample of the original Fame with my order. The only thing they have in common is the bottle design IMO.

I finally figured out what this reminds me of; a strawberry GUSHER !! 😍🍬🍓 This is mainly sweet strawberry done in a more realistic juicy way, but it’s also very candy like at the same time. The strawberry is not at all medicinal, syrupy or heavy, it’s very airy, fresh/sweet and playful (the perfect kind of strawberry imo, reminds me a lil of the strawberry in Miutine). It literally smells just like how a strawberry gusher tastes. It has this juicy chewy texture to it that I am obsessed with. It’s slightly powdery. I get the mineral notes which add a crisp freshness, and I also get hints of the basil which is actually so interesting!! 🌿 I was worried ab that note but somehow it blends so perfectly into the strawberry and adds this uniqueness to the strawberry that I never could’ve imagined, and it is so pleasant!! (To me it makes the 🍓 smell more realistic). I don’t get a ton of vanilla but just enough to smooth everything out. I don’t pick up on any patchouli or incense (yay). Overall I am so impressed! Such a fun unique scent and the way the strawberry is done has to be my favorite I’ve smelled yet!! 😍 It’s a very likable scent. I highly recommend if you love 🍓, fruity, fun, playful, candy- like scents 😊

Yes, this has similarities to Burberry Her if you're just grazing the most superficial top layer of this fragrance, but there are key distinguishing notes (such as the base notes that are completely different) that separate them to the point that they feel more like cousins than sisters. Fame In Love is like the Burberry Her that wants to line their entire eyes in black eyeliner. She is dark yet bright and fruity. Moody but not angsty. Mature, yet vibrant. Sweet but too sensual to be innocent. I feel like it's the notes that Her doesn't have are what makes this so so much better. I love the basil in this. It gives the impression of a strawberry with the greens still attached to it. There is a little bit of an earthy freshness and the basil is the key. The incense add a dark allure and mystique and pairs so well with the basil. There is a profound smoothness and contrast when it comes to the mood of this fragrance that I absolutely adore. I purchased the full bottle of this right away and it became an instant favourite.

I LOVE this fragrance. The only potential con is the way it smells on clothes after a few days, it’s completely different from the way it smells on skin- it reminds me of a cupcake, but an old and stale one. That aside, the opening is super fresh and juicy, I LOVE the basil note here, it really makes the fragrance. The scent lasts for hours as a jammy, sweet strawberry with some toned-down freshness from the basil, and that fresh strawberry that remains. The green mandarin also gives a pleasant, noticeable sour citrus touch, and there’s a subtle smokiness from the incense. The final drydown is a woody-patchouli vanilla with a delicious, creamy frosted cupcake quality. The initial stages smell like picking a juicy strawberry in your garden while someone’s making strawberry jam inside. It also reminds me of the tart berry basket lalaloopsy doll.. but the fragrance is fresher and smokier. I adore the incense note here!!

This fragrance is beautiful. Opens with ripe strawberry, with a creamy vanilla. There is some patchouli in it but hard to detect. Juicy and very playful. I find it to be a happy fragrance. I will say, when I first smelled this, it really reminded me of the original Miss Dior Cherie, that was released in 2005. It was a strawberry scent also, but more syrupy. I know because, I purchased it when it first dropped back then and it became my signature fragrance. Now you cannot get it anymore. It’s been discontinued. If you do find it, it’s $1000 on eBay. 😂Anyways, if you like that type of scent, you will love this fragrance. Very strong and long lasting which I love. I give it a 9/10 for longevity, and projection. Get your nose on it if you haven’t! ❤️

Juicy, sweet, playful, bright. If Burberry Her had a chic older sister. Very photorealistic strawberry scent with fresh, clean, crisp, green herbs. A touch of hard strawberry candies that develops into a smokey smooth buttery but still lightweight jasmine dominant middle, followed by a soft vanillin, patchouli forward base. Daring use of a metallic mineral note for fems made airy and juicy with basil and sweet citrus. If you don’t want to feel like a sexy, youthful, aloof robot made of chrome, you’re kinda lame. Much more memorable than regular Fame to me. Longevity, meh. Sillage is present. This is not a gourmand despite leading with strawberry, unless you want to bite into a red shiny metal ass.

So I had a test in the shop and wow it’s absolutely beautiful. Not too synthetic doesn’t smell cheap it’s beautiful I love love this its actually my favourite Fame in the line. First spray I get the strawberry straight away it’s fresh lil strong but not heavy it’s sweet too. The dry down sort of smells like a strawberry jammy biscuit it last a very long time

So I went to Sephora and tried some perfumes in paper, inclunding this. I got tottaly in love with it on paper. Sweet with tones of strawberry scent. Unfortunetely I don't know why, the result was not what I expected on my skin. And it lasts less than older brother - Fame EdP. It's a light scent, for spring/summer. 9/10

Straight off the bat, this smells to me like Burberry Her Parfum, Si Red Musk and Rave Now...but with a little herbal edge. I really like it but I don’t need it in my collection, because I already have a few strawberry scents. However, this would be ideal for summer. Synthetic but juicy and easy to wear.

Holy shit this sounds amazing, seems many are excited about this one! No idea why it was released under Fame as it literally shares zero connection to any of the others but hey! *shrug* I just--CANNOT WAIT--to get my nose on this one. With those notes, idk how it could smell bad.

Ok, this is THE BEST STRAWBERRY PERFUME out there! I tryed lots of but this is the purest, straitforward Strawberry. Good quality, not complicated bur not too simple. If you like strawberry, go for it!

Match with a name " in love " love right away ,very sweet as beautiful and lovely warm berry , gourmand's fan ,I love it so much 200ML. It perfect size 😁

Fruit punch. It’s nice, not sure if it’s something I could wear daily but I can see people wanting to. Pleasantly surprised

Absolutely love and adore it but isn't long lasting at all , fades in 1 hour or two for me despite several sprays

I find all Fame bottles to be horrendous, so I had zero expectations when I sprayed this one. To my surprise, it was addictive! I sprayed it on my hand and couldn't stop sniffing it. There's something nostalgic about this fragrance... It reminds me of my early 20s, when I was a smoker and used to frequent Madame, a goth nightclub in São Paulo. It smells like you're in a nightclub and they just turned on the fog machine. There's a group of people not too far from you smoking strawberry-flavored hookah. The nightclub doesn't have many windows, so it's a little humid but still cold. A girl walks by and you catch a whiff of her vanilla perfume in the air. If you get close enough, you can also smell her powdery makeup. All at the same time. God, I need that perfume.

This is nice - VERY similar to "Strawberry Letter" - to me. This sadly does not work on my skin, the longer it settles in. The incense is a note I just CANNOT do, and I was worried about that showing up, so that is why I just did a travel spray - thankfully. I will return this - but I do like it, just don't like the dry down. Too woody/smoky for me and not my vibe. The sweet, realistic strawberry is great - but I just don't think this is going to work in the long run for me.

I really like the scent of this and it lasted a lot longer on my skin than the OG Fame did. The strawberry actually stayed on my skin throughout the wear. The only reason I wouldn’t buy a full bottle is that it felt a bit too juvenile for me. It’s a lovely scent that I would maybe wear as a body mist before I went to bed but as a perfume, it’s just not for me. If you love the scent though, I definitely would recommend it.

Beautiful juicy strawberry in the opening which got ruined, because unfortunately in the dry down, it becomes powdery metallic/iris type of smell. Totally different and becomes very unpleasant, what a shame : i wish it stayed like the opening all along, would have been perfect. To me the best fame remains fame « parfum », a tropical juicy mango that never quits the game. Bottle is pretty.

Sprayed it on both skin and paper. Initially I smelled strong artificial strawberries with rabanne strength. It can be easily worn by younger people who really like to smell sweet. (Loud on SWEET) After 6-7 hours smell on paper and skin differed quite a lot. Paper smells like strawberry shampoo and skin almost kept the best attributes of the fragrance and balanced the scent out.

Bought this today and this is a mesmerising strawberry vanilla infused fragrance. Now the strawberry notes is quite nostalgic..reminds me of a Victoria secret perfume but with richer notes of vanilla and jasmine. It has a young vibe but Longevity 4-6 hours. Can be worn during fall, spring, winter, but it’s definitely an evening fragrance.
