Diesel Loverdose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Olivier Cresp. Loverdose opens with Mandarin and Star Anise, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Gardenia, and Licorice, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, and Vanilla. Diesel's Loverdose carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Loverdose is a divisive, intoxicating scent - a delicious liquorice bomb that leans into its edgy, rebellious side. Some find it a masterpiece, others a challenging, even 'bitchy' punk rock experience. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions, but it's certainly not boring.

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.

With strong, sweet liquorice and anise accords, Loverdose isn't a safe bet for the office but shines on dates, especially in cooler weather, where its seductive nature can really come through. Its moderate sillage and disappointing longevity on some make it more suited for intimate settings rather than all-day wear.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Opens with a cheeky pop of star anise and mandarin, quickly diving into a dark, syrupy heart of rich liquorice. White florals, jasmine and gardenia, lend a touch of powdery softness, while the base grounds it with warm, sweet vanilla, amber, and subtle woods. It's a sweet, spicy, and alluring concoction, blending candy-like indulgence with a mysterious edge.
