Ex Idolo Love & Crime is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Love & Crime opens with Mandarin and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Sugar Cane, Floral, and Star Anise, and dries down to a base of Cacao Pod and Vanilla. Ex Idolo's Love & Crime carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

If Lira had a stronger, spicier, more chocolatey sibling that wasn't afraid to make a statement, it would be Love & Crime. This gourmand powerhouse is delicious, addictive, and divisive, with 'beast mode' performance that will either earn you compliments or headaches.

About

Love & Crime opens with a vibrant burst of sugared mandarin, immediately followed by the intriguing warmth of pink pepper and star anise. This sweet, slightly spicy citrus accord mellows into a heart of rich, caramelised sugar and subtle floral notes. The dry-down truly shines, settling into a decadent blend of creamy vanilla and deep cacao, creating a comforting yet sophisticated gourmand trail that lingers for ages.
