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.

LOVE ROCKS surprised me with its lightness. I was expecting something stronger & sweeter. It's a mild mix of raspberry, peach and amber on me; followed by a light, airy, powdered vanilla drydown. A pleasant, all year round scent with good staying power (although close to the skin), at a reasonable price & a gorgeous bottle. LOVE ROCKS is only let down by it’s similarity to PRINCESS, CAN CAN & FALLING IN LOVE. I’d buy this again, but yeah, minus a star for being unoriginal.

It seems all the perfumes I love are gone. My very favorite was Bare Essentials "Escentual", which was discontinued several years ago. (Last time I saw it was in 2006.) I discovered Love Rocks two years ago when I was in the store, and I LOVED it. I should've bought the stock back then. I'm looking to purchase more, and - gone! I'm very fond of complex perfumes, that aren't overpowered by floral or woodsy notes. Now, I'm going to have to go on "the great hunt" again.

This was THE fragrance that turned me away from body mists to more complex grown-up fragrances. I always thought it dried down smoky and sexy - like incense and patchouli. (clearly 14 year old me was not a perfumer lol). I’ve been chasing a dupe for about a decade now and have yet to find anything quite as intoxicating. Hard to justify buying a bottle on ebay knowing that it’s almost definitely turned.... but that may just have to be what I do.

on my skin...this smells a little cologney...which i have grown to like...and i have the mist and the edp...they smell kind of different to me. the edp is candier which is probably what i fell for and the mist, again, smells slighly of cologne but i love it... very complex vs perfume

My husband loves this on me for whatever reason and I get a whole lot of action whenever I wear it! The berry notes are prominent but the bergamot keeps it from becoming cloying. The vanilla is just great, perfect amounts and again, the husband loves it!!! ;)

god i WISH victorias secret would bring this one back, it was my favorite!! its such a sweet n smokey kind of scent, perfect for a night on the town. not to mention the gorgeous packaging. if they ever bring this one back im buying back up's 100%!!

Victorias secret and Avon fragrances / cosmetics are completely impossible / extremely hard to find here for some reason. Otherwise im sure id own half of Victorias frag collection...they look amazing.

The only Victorias secret i have ever had... bought from duty free at airport. You just dont get them where i stay -( I loved this, and wore it proudly, what a bottle to show off as well! :)))

Anyone know if this is similar to So...? Sinful?

When this fragrance came out I didn't give it much of a chance, really - the name is awful, and at the time I had no interest in fragrances with prominent vanilla notes. I decided to try it again at the semi-annual sale today since it has been a while since I smelled it. I actually really like it, and I am of the opinion that Love Rocks IS an edgy vanilla. I don't get the sweet, sugary, cupcake associations that a few reviewers have. The vanilla and amber are the most prominent for sure, and I get some of the plum, too. I don't smell any of the flowery notes at all.I agree with a few of the below reviews that there is something smokey in the fragrance. Overall, much better than I remember it! Plus, it is different than many of the other fragrances that VS offers. I bought a bottle since they were cheap (I paid around $14) and I really liked the fragrance as I walked around the store wearing it. It has worn off now, but it lasted about 5-6 hours. I also bought the lotion to layer the fragrance, just in case. Since it was so cheap I won't mind reapplying.

SWEET, SEXY, SULTRY This is the perfect scent to get that special someone's attention. Vanilla,amber and musk dominate on me. I don't usually gravitate towards amber, but in this perfume it rocks!!! Skin Type: oily Office safe: no too sexy, too strong Potency: intially heavy but then dies down a medium potency Timing: any time of the year Projection: 6 feet plus Longevity: 4 - 6 hrs Price : about $15 at the Victoria Secret Summer Sale Packaging: 9/10 the bottle is very cute; the bottle comes with two lids one for transport and a fancy one to spray the perfume (as others have said it does not distribute the perfume evenly when you spray it). Will I Repurchase: YES Disclaimer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, my chemistry, the season, and my personal tastes

It smells very sweet and dark. Very powdery and a little spicy. I didn't think it smelled so good, but then a male friend walked in and commented that it smelled really good. I'll keep it for sure now. I suppose it is a sexy smell, He gave it an 8 which is really high for him. The only fragrance he will give a 10 is Very Sexy of Egyptian Musk/Goddess by auric blends. The weird thing about this perfume is that the top fruity/sour notes disappear within a minute. Then all you smell is the sweet musky drydown from then on out. It is worth having in your collection. I think I'll get the body mist next so I can use it more often and not feel like I'm wasting it. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me." -Jesus Christ. God bless!

I agree with many of the comments here - the raspberry blast at the beginning is gone within seconds, I smell a faint note of something that smells like coconut every so often, and there is a masculine vibe to it. I don't find this to be sweet at all. Rather, I find it to be a dark, smoky, slightly powdery scent, which is sexy and edgy. I don't detect most of the notes listed here, other than some faint plum and violet, and although its not listed, it smells like there is a bit of patchouli in the drydown. This is a nice change from the usual VS lineup. I like this quite a bit.

Very strong and what I would consider a very unisex smell. Definitely a stand out of the VS scents. That wall of bergamot hits you like a train in the beginning and it is abrasive at first but there is something very dark and sexy and sultry in the dry down.The way the sandalwood, musk and amber notes cling to the skin is what makes this a good scent in my book. Not a fan of the name or bottle though.

Wow! Didn't realize this perfume offended to many people ;) I enjoy it, wear it on occasion.. I've never received a compliment even shortly after I put it on, so it leaves me wondering what everyone else thinks. To me it smells like a sexy strong vanilla with a little berry feel. Overall I'm happy I bought it and I like it.
