La Collection In Love Again

07. february 2012 YESSSSS!!!!!! Original "In love again" and it ́s re-release of 2004 are amongst my top 5 favorites of all time! This is just the most perfect summer time fragrance for me that i have ever-ever tried. I was really sad when it was discontinued and after seeing it yesterday in tax free again i almost fainted. Was really afraid they might reformulate it for worse. I took the bottle with shaking hands and sprayed.... words fail me....... i am sooo happy... this IS it!!!!! Yes! it is even better IMO than the original one. It has much more stronger peony and grape note which i absolutely adore. It is now much more intense than it used to be and i can tell you that even if it has changed, then only a bit and only for the better. And it lasts much longer now as well. Peony, grapes an citruses is what i smell and i am really loving it. The stress for hunting down the bottles of original "ILA" for the reasonable price is over now! And those who complain about the price of this one - please check ebay for the prices of the original edition. Almost the same if not even higher than this one. I am sooo definitely buying this one and in several bottles, just to be sure than this time i will not run out of it. NEVER! Thank you Loreal, for not ruining this one at least. Just to be sure that the smell is similar i will take tomorrow my original bottle of "ILA" and compare it with the new release, while traveling back home. I will then write an update. UPDATE: i have compared the original 1998 edition, the relaunch of 2004 and this new version and i tell you that THIS latest edition IS THE BEST. In matter of sillage and longevity! Amazing. The original didn ́t last indeed, now that i have several bottles of it, i can tell for sure. The 2004 relaunch was better in terms of longevity, but still weak, but this one exceeded my expectations! Indeed, might be the best relaunch ever.

OMG !!! What a stunning surprise ! And I really have to thank passionata20 for a well written and convincing review of hers - Thanks ! It made me have the guts to blindby it when I stumbled upon it on the net store. It is a hot meadow of summer flowers mixed with lemon pie with cream !! Even though no lemon is listed its what I get... Its a fruity floral cocktail of my dreams and the best fruity floral I smelled in a loooong time. It opens up fresh and stays fresh, tones down a little to let the rose in but it doesn't steal the show.... This is quite young but creamy and dense so anyone can wear it. Besides that it mellows down to a sweet woody musk, It really doesn't change a lot during the wear but it was an instant lovely smell that doesn't need no change! If you find it - don't miss it !!!

Mmmmm, yum, this is deliciously fruity-fresh! The black berry, black current and grape notes make this frag a mouth-watering feast for the senses. It is a carefree, happy scent for both spring and summer, day and night. At the same time, it would add some much needed leafy, fruity freshness during those dark and cold winter months and would be a breath of fresh air in all the overly heated offices with their dry air. A recipe for carefree summer fun that can be applied whenever and instantly transports its wearer to a vacay at the French Riviera! The only thing they seem to have changed is that the original used to have a distinct smell of the green stem of fresh tomatoes, which I personally LOVED. Can't find it in the new edition, however, tomato or not, this is a beauty!

I love the smell. It's citrussy and exciting and smells the way you feel when you wake up in the morning and think about seeing that person you are in love with! fresh, slightly sweet, but what I mostly get here is this strong citrus. It then fades into a light sweet pleasant scent. Love it for a hot day, and it doesn't smell too perfumy but also not at all simplistic. A really good perfume that is one of the few that wear well on me. The only down side is that it is expensive, and doesn't last long. After a couple of hours it's gone.

WOW! This is lovely. The perfect fresh yet soft fruity floral. I do see the similarity with CL Bazar but this is sweeter and more fruity. I love both fragrances but maybe Bazar a touch more. ILA is very fruity but natural smelling with some rose and peony in the background. The musk softens everything so it is never harsh. It is a delicate and very feminine fragrance that really blooms well in warm conditions. Be prepared to keep reapplying as this doesnt have a strong constitution. Well, not on me that is of course.
