Astrophil & Stella Love Is Lost is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Chris Maurice. Love Is Lost opens with Bergamot and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Astrophil & Stella's Love Is Lost carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive one, riding the line between 'unresolved' and 'velvety, deep rose'. Some sniff a poor dupe of popular gourmands, others find a genuinely unique floral-amber that reminds them of springtime. Sample before you commit to avoid disappointment.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent extrait concentration and heavy amber-vanilla-floral profile make it less suitable for a professional office setting. However, its deep, warm, and romantic character is perfect for dates and evening events, creating a memorable presence without being overtly casual.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Love Is Lost opens with a fleeting whisper of zesty neroli and bergamot, quickly giving way to a rich, warm floral heart. Here, a prominent jasmine intertwines with a velvety Bulgarian rose and a touch of geranium, creating a slightly indolic, deeply sensuous core. The dry-down reveals a robust amber and a creamy vanilla, grounded by an earthy, slightly sharp oakmoss that adds significant depth and maturity to the sweet floral notes, sometimes leaning towards a dry, almost tobacco-like finish.
