Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love Spell EDP
Love Spell is a divisive classic, either evoking cherished teenage nostalgia or a potent, artificial headache. It's a loud, fruity blast from the past that still turns heads - for better or worse.

Our Verdict - Love Spell - 601 EDP
A cheerful copy of Victoria's Secret's cult-favourite Love Spell. The juicy peach and cherry blossom opening is unmistakably the same idea and lands close, but it's louder and more synthetic on first spray, and the musk drydown that gives the original its soft, lingering trail fades noticeably faster here.

Its potent projection, fruity-floral profile, and loud nature make it unsuitable for office settings. However, it shines in casual environments and could be a fun, flirty choice for a date, though its intense sillage means it's best applied lightly.
