Which Should You Buy?
Victoria's Secret Love is a polarizing creature. Some say it's a soft, clean dream, a 'boyfriend tee' in liquid form. Others find it a headache-inducing chemical mess. It's the kind of scent that has its devoted fans and its fervent detractors, so you'll have to sniff it for yourself.
A budget take on Jo Malone's Wild Bluebell, keeping the green-floral-aquatic character. The fruity persimmon-peach facet reads a touch louder and the hyacinth simpler here than the original's soft, dewy composition, so it comes across slightly less refined but still recognisably in the same fresh-floral family.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its soft and clean character, with moderate longevity and sillage, makes it perfect for office and casual wear as many reviewers suggest. While it's generally considered inoffensive, some find it too casual for formal events and not invigorating enough for sport.
