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. Daytime, office, running to Home Goods lol

I like the simplicity of this fragrance. VS has often made fragrances that were very heavy, probably to go along with the seductive boudoir aesthetic of their original lingerie lines. Sometimes, you just want to smell pretty without seducing every person within arm’s length, and that is what Love EDP gives you. This fragrance is very soft and light. It might be the cotton flower, but it gives me “fresh out of the shower” vibes. Although apricot is the predominant note, the juniper cools it down just enough to make a nice transition from Summer to Fall. My best friend (a guy, who doesn’t wear fragrance himself) absolutely loves this one!

Crazy to say it - however - this is one of my signature fragrances. I have worn this for about 7 years - shortly after it came out and continued on in my collection since. It's my FAVE Vs Beauty scent, and one of my overall faves in my large collection of scents. This is one of my most complimented as well. The soft, musky, almost earthy vibe is so beautiful on my skin. It's also very clean and fresh with a comforting appeal. I find this to be one of the best VS scents in longevity, 10+ hours on this. It's always been my "go-to work" scent, and it's been very inoffensive to others and is one I will always have memories attached to.

This really does smell like you’re wearing your boyfriend’s used T-shirt that he wore for a whole day so the generic men’s cologne he was wearing got mixed up with his sweat and fainted, then you sprayed a powdery fruity ultra-feminine perfume on to freshen it up. and I’m not complaining, I love it, the used man's T-shirt smell is apparently my thing, it adds warmth and intimacy, making it smell like a hug. the only sad thing about this perfume is the staying power, it's disappointing, I can barely smell it on myself after two hours, I really wish it lasted longer, it’s my current favorite summer perfume.

I am a fan of VS perfumes in general- I find them wearable even when they fall short of unique. Of all of the recent new releases, Love is by far my favorite. It smells nothing like any of their existing perfumes, and is not an exact reincarnation of any discontinued perfume, either. Love is a fresh and clean perfume with a bit of a cologne/soap kick from the juniper. It's not super masculine, and it's not extremely girly. It's just GOOD. It fits the void in the VS wardrobe that was created when Body by Victoria was discontinued (at least in my opinion). I highly recommend checking this beauty out!

It's a pretty glow cloud of apricot and cotton flower. This is perfect if you want to smell pretty, chill casual and relaxed. It's very difficult to not reach for it because it's SO good and you can wear it for ANY occasion. Please keep in mind this is not a powerhouse fragrance. The longevity is around 2-3 hours with a decent 3-4 sprays but it's so pretty that it doesn't bother to reapply. The scent is simply heavenly. I've smelled so many perfumes from weak to nauseating and it is so nice to come back to this one because it truly makes you appreciate the simplicity and how truly lovely it is :)

Love, love, love VS's Love. It is a very light, powdery, comforting fragrance with a prominent cotton note. In fact, the cotton would be better described as a brand-new cotton T-shirt. Picture yourself at the Gap, shopping for white cotton T-shirts and getting a whiff of that loveliness. I have always been intrigued by fresh laundry scents, and Love falls into this category. This perfume is the olfactory version of comfort food. The bottle is also very beautiful and has substantial weight.

This is 60% fruit (especially apricot) and 40% cotton flower. It's a very fresh, girly scent. This is different from VS, though (no fruity/floral here) and I love it. The mixture of apricot and cotton flower is pretty amazing! Totally recommend. Also, lasted on me about 7 hours so good lasting power. PS: Reminds me of the way HCO smelled at some point years ago so that's how you know it smells good lol

Love is beautiful clean scent. It opens with sweet creamy apricot, after a few minutes it dries down into fluffy, very creamy cotton with aromatic juniper and apricot in the background. Very clean scent that makes you feel cozy and sexy. I don't get any masculine vibe, to me it's definitely feminine scent. Lasting power is very good, about 12 hours on my skin.

I like VS fragrances because they are fun and usually fruity-fresh or beachy and sexy. But I like this one for not standing in that line. It is feminine, cozy, AND absolutely not boring - it is not very harsh or intense, but can be recognised and it is not similar to many others, good for a discrete signature scent. Wifey and mommy vibes

I bought a rollerball of this intending to give it to someone as a gift. After "sampling" a bit of it, I decided to keep it for myself. Lol! It's a nice aromatic, fresh, and fruity blend. Piney juniper, sweet apricot, and clean cotton. Very pleasant and easy to wear. I like it a lot!

LOVEEEE. So so so good. I love girly scents so this is right up my alley. It's your average fruity floral with a little something extra. I think it's the "boyfriend tee" note though I have no idea what that's supposed to smell like. Perfectly pleasant and inoffensive.

This is one of my absolute favorite around the house / at home, out of the shower, bedtime scents. Soft, fresh clean but still feminine. I feel like this is BEAUTIFUL any time of year, season, or day. I love Love and hope to always have a bottle in my collection.

I seriously love this stuff. I find myself reaching for it on a productive weekend at home when I want to feel happy and put together. It smells clean and very feminine. It lasts all day on me.

This is absolutely a beautiful scent! To me this is a feminine, soft, cashmere sweater-y, snuggly, nuzzly, cuddly scent. Lovely! (And that is the solid fragrance too) I need to get an edp!!!!

One of my favorite scents, ever. Would easily become my signature if it lasted longer. It's completely gone within an hour, but what a glorious hour it is while it's here.
