Love Rocks

The first thing you should know about LOVE ROCKS is that it has powdered notes from top notes to base, as this has the most developed floral notes so far in the Sexy Little Things range. The peony is the strongest scent note on me and lets well into the heart notes, despite the powdered florals being strong there is also some fruity/sweet notes that stand out too. The raspberry note is also well-developed and is sweet and sharp at the same time, I'm not sure on what they mean by raspberry sorbet as the note smells fresh and natural to me. The bergamot is lost under the powdered peony and raspberry, I get a brief whiff occasionally but it's not strong enough to be really noticeable. The peony note note must carry down because the powdery note doesn't fade and I don't usually find jasmine or sandalwood powdery. I suppose it could be the stephanotis, but I'm not sure. Either way the powdered scent compliments the warmth of the sandalwood and sweetness of the jasmine perfectly. Underneath the florals is the plum, but I can't pick up on the peach, which is a shame as it's a favorite scent of mine. The base is a airy mix of powdered vanilla and musk. There is still a lingering plum note which burns down with the fragrance, but I can't detect the violet and I'd guess that 'golden amber' here is maybe honey: Vegetal amber is not used in perfume, 'amber' is actually oils taken from modern resins and tree gums [e.g. benzoin and labdanum] and mixed with other oils such as vanilla, clove or patchouli. My atomizer hasn't broke, but it is pretty common for atomizers to do so. The bottle has a basic screw top though, so it is easy to transfer the juice to a different bottle should it break. LOVE ROCKS has the best staying power out of the perfume that I've used in the Sexy Little Things fragrance range. It burns down within six to eight hours. It does go close to the skin after three hours, but other people still notice it. I bought my bottle in winter when the powdered sandalwood, musk and vanilla makes a creamy and warming mix. The fruits are perfectly balanced in strength with the florals, so it didn't seem out of place for the time of year. I still wear it during spring/summer months too, this is when the perfume being close to the skin comes in handy as the sweetness remains light. The fruit notes also seem more apparent to me and prevent the florals and creamy powderiness from becoming cloying. As well as being wearable all year round I also happily wear this perfume for casual days, work and some evenings out. The fragrance is subtle, so colleagues won't find it irritating at work and for nights out it is long lasting and defined, but is not loud and yelling "look at me". This is a pleasant, all year round scent with good staying power, at a reasonable price; Plus the bottle is pretty and adds a nice decorative touch to a dressing table. It does smell similar to the earlier Sexy Little Things flanker Ooh La La, but is stronger and the florals are more developed. I've tried Sexy Little Things and three of the flankers and I think that LOVE ROCKS is the nicest one in the range so far. If you like soft, vanilla based fruity/floral and gourmand fragrances, such as Ooh La La, Christina Aguilera By Night and Royal Desire, Vera Wang Princess, Paris Hilton Can Can, or Philosophy Falling In Love I'd say that it's a safe bet that you'll enjoy this too. I'd buy this again as LOVE ROCKS is easy to wear, the price is reasonable, the bottle is pretty and the staying power is better than it's scent-a-likes.

Why are the good ones always discontinued?! I found Love Rocks to be groundbreaking compared to other VS scents. Deep, rich and sexy with a little darkness, I wouldn’t have considered this a “floral fruity”. Sure, you get the bergamot from the opening, but from then on out it’s a dark chocolate-woody-amber-floral bouquet. Dare I say, even the body mist has wonderful staying power and sillage! The image this scent brings to mind is a woman in leather parking her motorbike, taking off her helmet to reveal long, bouncy locks and a Cindy Crawford face. She’s hot and edgy, the girl you wanna be like once in awhile. Everything about Love Rocks is so far removed from your typical Victoria’s Secret fragrance. I’ll cherish my two bottles of the body mist and hope they bring something like this out in the near future.

i tried the body mist, and i was surprised with this one. Agree with some of the reviews here, it is not that fruity floral on me, it was more fruity-gourmand in the beginning. sweet juicy raspberries, no flowers. it reminds me of jeanne arthes' love generation sexy. love rocks stays longer on my skin thou...and it unlike jeanne arthes', Love rocks actually develops deeper. the raspberries never gave up on me. it stays pretty long, becoming softer very very slowly. then it reveals the more masculine base notes. i cant pin point yet, which notes gives the masculine impression. the body mist lasts longer than most other body mists i've tried. i enjoyed my experience with love rocks!

I'm sorry I have to say it for my 'signature fragrance' but the pitiful lasting power strongly disappoints me. The smell is fantastic and exactly what I like - juicy berries with plum, violet and vanilla but excuse me, I'd choose stronger fragrance to draw everyone's attention to my appearance. It quickly lies close to the skin merging with its smell and the drydown interestingly reminds of make-up and eyeshadow smell. The atomizer is another flaw to the wonderful bottle - it simply doesn't spray as much as expected. A friend of mine got her SLT's atomizer broken. I was expecting a little more but I have no choice except to spray more lavishly and frequently. :-)

This is a smokey, sweet and little powdery scent. I love this for it broke the barriers of sweet girly VS scents. This would cater more to mature and edgy audience of VS. I heard this was discontinued which is pretty sad. VS should make diverse scents such as this one and not settle for safe fruity floral variants. 2019 Update: I just realized that this does not last at all. The smokiness will only last for few minutes and then goes to floral-fruit powdery scent. Still good though.
