100% Love

Clearly this is a bit of a challenging love-it-or-hate-it fragrance, not one of the easy scents designed to please the masses. As one of the masses, i of course love an awful lot of those scents--but I love this one, too. It took me a little time to appreciate it as much as I do now, and I would not recommend this as a safe blind buy--but after I'd used up my sample, I haunted EBay for a full year with an eye out for a deal on this scent. The first time I smelled it I got simply chocolate and raspberries, it took a few tries for my nose to be able to pick out the rose and musk, but now that they are clear to me I no longer catch anywhere near as much berry note. The chocolate in 100% Love is dark, bittersweet, perhaps brushed with sea salt, a grown up gourmand more than milky confectionary. I thought the raspberry complemented it nicely, and it blends incredibly with the rose and musk. I will confess this can be a bit of a weird scent, with a mustiness that keeps it from being too sweet. It's not one I wear very often, the mood has to be just right and so does the weather--but when everything comes together just right, this fragrance is magical. This is a cold weather and/or rainy day scent, but in my opinion would be overwhelming to the point of unpleasantness on a warmer day. I think it's the musk, which lends this a real animalic undertone that, embraced by the chocolate, could become almost sour and smothering on a hot day. But then I'm also surprised by the comments on how light the sillage is on this, because I experience 100% Love as a real powerhouse, with enduring longevity to boot.

Very, very surprised that this is a Sophia Grojsman perfume. Seriously: this came from the same mind that gave us Tresor, Paris, and White Linen? 100% Love is just twisted. It opens with a chocolate-banana that reminds me of scratch 'n' sniff stickers, and then shows a weird floral that I finally decided was a sort of fermented rose. Then, if I smell my wrist long enough, say 10 seconds, to get past the rose funk, it smells to me of something toasted and warm, like salted butter browning in a pan, or like toffee. I''m going to go with toffee, because the chocolate gourmand edge is still there. I like 100% Love. I bought a sample on Surrender to Chance and I might go back for a 5 mL roll-on, because I like to wear a perfume on my wrist that isn't the same as the main one that I spray on for everyone to smell. I like to sniff my private scent discreetly and think about it through the course of my day. 100% Love is perfect for that.

Not sure what all of you are talking about: this thing is euphoric! A big, fresh, fruity rose on a stark background of hot chocolate. For once it's exactly what it says in the list materials, done with a giddy panache typical of it's awesome creator, Sophia Grojsman. It's an intense, swirling confection, that even reminds me intermittently of beer or freshly baked bread. This is not for everyone, as the rather offensive review section here proves. But if you're feeling tempestuous, romantic and joyful, this was made for you. 5/5
