Our verdict on Love Is Lost: Acquired

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.

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.

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.
