Which Should You Buy?
A timeless floral-musk that radiates airy elegance and femininity. Perfect for spring days, Romance is the essence of clean, polished confidence with a soft, intimate touch.
A divisive flanker, this attempts to lighten the iconic LVEB DNA with a floral touch. Many find it fresher and less cloying than the original, while others declare it barely different or outright bad. Expect floral sweetness to the max, but without the praline.

With its moderate projection, clean musk, and gentle florals, Romance is appropriate for the office and daytime dates. It is polished enough for casual events but may lack the impact for formal evenings or sporty environments.

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
