Love ETC

Oh, the memories. I owed this back in 2011, actually bought it when I was on a trip to London, so whenever I smelled the empty bottle of this it took me down memory lane and I suddenly got sad because I couldn't get another bottle of this cozy lovely fragrance. I was looking for an alternative and I saw here that Armani's discontinued Mania smelled pretty much the same, recording to the reviews. Sadly I couldn't get the original Mania but I bought a really good quality replica of the original thing and I couldn't be happier. The two are almost exactly the same The only difference is that Love etc. Is overall slightly sweeter (especially the first few notes when sprayed are fruitier) but it eventually dries down to exactly what Mania smells like. Overall a really lovely I'd say fall fragrance for daytime, really soft and cozy, not too intense, and suitable to wear in the office.

my review will be about the edt version.idk maybe in my country only the edt is available coz the last time i went to TBS only saw edt no edp. anyhow given to me is the edt.the smell is really nice i love it. i can see why some people saying it smells kinda like burberry brit. i get that. the similarity of these fragrance is the pear note. in burberry brit the pear is more intense rather than the other notes, but in love etc the pear is the dominating note but you can smell the pear together with the other notes especially the flowers. for this edt, the longevity and sillage is moderate which i think it's fine. i also like the bottle. the 50 ml bottle is so small and not that bulky fits perfectly inside your bag. it's suitable for the day and i think ladies of any age can wear this.

One of my most favourite "Day Time" scents as it's so adaptable. I can't imagine anyone hating it. I go for more sweet scents and love it. My Mam who likes florals, likes it and my aunty who likes fresh/clean fragrances, likes it also. Great for work/school as it's not the type to offend someone. I think it's because none of the notes are overpowering, it's very well balanced. I've gone through a whole bottle of it, which means a lot with the amount of perfumes I own! The only thing that people may not like is the lasting power but for the price I'm not too worried about it.

This is so amazing, it's so good that I don't wear it unless I want to impress and I get compliments when I wear it so it does the job. It's warm so better for winter. I get some extraordinary-out of this world-flowers mixed with powdery musk, maybe some vanilla from it. But it isn't fruity or sweet or flowery. It just smells so chic. Maybe it's the pear? but I'd love to eat a pear that smells like this. My friend said I smelled of new expensive makeup product when I'd worn this. Lol. Very long lasting with heavy sillage.

piccolo gioiellino con note di testa di vaniglia e pera smorzate dalla giustapposizione di vari sentori floreali (mughetto, fiori d'arancio, eliotropio) e legnosi di sandalo. l'effetto (mi riferisco alla formulazione edp), ben bilanciato, ne fa un gradevole profumo "florientale" con un lievissimo accenno fruttato. non male. ho appena scoperto che dietro c'è Dominique Ropion, e scusate se è poco: la classe c'è, la semplicità pure. semplice sì, come il suo nome, love etc.

So many nice memories with this perfume! My husband (when he wasn't yet my husband) gave it to me as a present for my birthday back in autumn 2009. I also had the body wash and the body lotion. I remember this perfume was sweet, lasted a long time, made me smile, it smelled like love... well if love smells like musk, than that's is love for me... love etc.! So sad I didn't kept the bottle and now it's discontinued...

I missed this smell :( such an amazing teenagers perfume back 2009. I was a student and this is my signature perfume. Never bored and smell so elegant! Many compliments and long lasts all days! I still keep searching for this fragrance even from online but nah, there is no stocks available anymore. I think it is similar with Black Musk perfume. So I had mine. At least I can back to my 2009 memories a little bit.

Nice, sweet, cozy and so relaxing. Very beautiful on cottonwear. The bottle shape is similar to Promesse Cacharel. May be I cant reconize all notes yet, but I can reconize the Dominique's noze. When I was 16-17, me parfume collection was mostly by him (Aqua di Gioa, Amor Amor). This perfume is more sweet than Armani Mania but both of them makes same mood. This scent reminds me of my shooltime.

Sweet, warm and sensual with spicy and powdery notes. I smell vanilla and neroli as well as a musky undertone. I rather enjoy this scent a LOT but I think the spicy smell should not be as prominent as it is. But then again some people can't detect it so maybe it's just me. This scent is very nice, though. More wintery than summery to me.

I am not into TBS fragrance's, I always find they add too much musk for my liking. However, this fragrance is gorgeous, delicately sweet and uplifting, makes you smile. I feel this would be a very safe day perfume and would not offend anyone. Very surprised with this perfume and will be buying it the next time I pass the BODY SHOP.

Delicately sweet, refreshing, romantic, floral, softly powdery and utterly gorgeous. This scent is like a breath of fresh air - suitable for absolutely every occassion and it will make you feel fantastic. I'm not usually a Body Shop customer (too pricey nowadays) but couldn't resist this scent. The packaging is really pretty too.

At first it does smell lovely - it's sweet, frutiy and floral. You can't smell the initial fruitiness for long. It then becomes more powdery/musty but still refreshing and sweet. It was a bit headache inducing but maybe I put on too much. Also, the solid perfume doesn't function as a solid perfume at all! Waste of £5!!

i really like this one, it's one of my favorites! it soft, and yet with charisma. on me, the edp doesnt lasts a long time, that's why i have to use it on clothes. and it really lasts! once i tried on a piece of paper and on my wrist (before buying it) , and 2 days after i could still smell the fragrance on the paper!

Back in the day my 13 year old self was quite fascinated of how could a perfume smells like flowers and vanilla flavored baby formula at the same time. Had the chance to sniff from a friend's collection recently, didn't knew it bring back bittersweet memories when I was bullied in middle school lol.

I love this fragrance! It's one of my all time favorites. People would stop me to ask which perfume I was wearing when I had it on. Very elegant and suitable for both day and night. It lasts about 5-6 hours on the skin but lasts forever on clothes. The shower gel is a must have too.

Oh dear deeper-shallow, what a shame you don't like LOVE ETC. From your description I really don't recognise The Body Shop's new scent at all. As for boiled rice, hairspray and plastic... well at least your comment was amusing to read. Hope you find something you like soon :-D

i tried it on me last week on a afternoon,very pretty scent, the bf coudl still smell it a little the morning after! yesterday i got the lotion ,showergel with edp for a discount :D i had to have it,also reminds me of naomi campbell exult or naomagic

First sniff.. Clean, soft, a bit fruity., And then.. I smeel a creamy hot baked biscuits.. But not over powering sweet scent.. It's sweet in a polite way.. I bought a EDP version.. (30ml) It last about 6hours in my skin..

the number two great thing about this fragrance (beside the fabulous smell), is that it is made with organic sugar (to make alcohol) so, why not worry about the planet and yet smell good? :D

one of my FAVOURITE perfumes. Lasts long, starts light and lovely and has a wonderful woody base. And the Body Shop doesn't test on animals, so that's a plus. :) Need a new bottle ASAP!
