Love Eau de Parfum

This is it y’all. I’ve found my signature scent. I want everyone to know I’ve been on a JOURNEY looking for the perfume that I’ll wear most every day, every occasion, that feels like “me.” I’ve tried everything from Pink Sugar to Delina Exclusif- none were right for me. This one was. This perfume is beautiful. It smells delicate, feminine, and fresh. Like a beautiful clean lady holding an armful of freshly washed white cotton sheets, left to dry on a clothesline on a warm and sunny day. It doesn’t screech at you or demand attention. It’s demure. It’s not explosive, it won’t fill a room, but your lover will smell you when he hugs you- he will like it. I’ve come to realize I don’t like “heavy” smells. I don’t want to smell like cake or creamy vanilla or a dessert table. I want to smell like a pretty and clean- like sunshine. I don’t need to smell like a seductress. This perfume isn’t the sexiest scent by any means, at least not at face value. It’s definitely not screaming “Look at me! I’m sexy! at you, because it’s sexy in a more subdued way. Sometimes it’s fun to be more casually sexy and this perfume does just that. I couldn’t be more excited to own a bottle.

Victoria's Secret has put out a new perfume nearly every month this year, but this is the only one that's really grabbed me, although it happened totally by accident! I was in the store asking a manager about a free panty coupon and noticed he smelled really really good. Enough that I felt the need to tell him and then felt totally awkward about it until he exclaimed "That's our newest fragrance!" and was able to give me the pitch on it, haha. Based on the bottle and ads, Love is definitely trying to evoke a more elegant, mature essence than some of VS's other perfumes, and I think the fragrance does a good job of that, at least with the top notes. The initial spray smells simple, fresh, and classy with just a bit of warmth, perfect for the Fall season. Unfortunately, as with most VS fragrances, the top note burns off quickly on me and what's left smells generic to me. Must be the boyfriend tee.

There's something about this scent that just clicks eith my skin chemistry. (I just ordered the EdP but this review is based on the body mist) On fabric this smells like fresh clothes - I believe they called on ingredient "boyfriend shirt", and that's exact! On paper I hate it, granny smell But on my skin. Oh my! It's beautiful. I don't know how to describe it, a soft calming scent that makes me feel cozy and clean all at once. I want to sleep in this every night. I can't stop smelling my skin it's so perfect. Staying power was phenomenal - and that for a body mist is exceptional! I am so looking forward to getting the EdP next week Edit: got the EdP and this might just be my forever scent. It's perfect. I have no words

I read the notes and the reviews when trying to pick between the available “Love” options. I chose this from the clean notes the “baby powder” and the overall longevity everyone raves about. Beautiful scent. Easily one of my fave Victoria Secret scents. So beautiful floral and fresh. Has a golden warm feel but I could see this still working in cold weather. It reminds me of “My glow” and “Glowing Godess” by JLo which I adore both...but these have their own spin being a JLo brand. This LOVE has a different route going more floral. JLo tends to be more soapy and linear with her notes. Staying power is amazing and even layers well with several bombshells.

Pretty easy go-to when you don't have time to think on what you're going to wear, and want something fresh and sophisticated. It's a step up from a body mist, and more complex than the notes suggest, but still a fresh-young scent. I initially get the apricot and the juniper. but the juniper isn't really strong or piney, it's very muted. it just adds a boyishness to it like someone mentioned below. and then that's wrapped with the florals. It reminds me of a crisp white Hanes shirt out of the package, and you have a blowout, and your hair is freshly washed with a new shampoo, and sprayed with hairspray.
