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 an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-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.

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.
