Jeanne Arthes Lover in Dark is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Lover in Dark opens with Apple and Plum, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Cinnamon, and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Jeanne Arthes's Lover in Dark carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a divisive brew; some say it's a cheap mess straight from the shower, others rave about its dark, spicy depth and excellent value. Prepare for an interesting ride, particularly given its chameleon-like development and potential need for maceration.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend
Topas listed

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and dark, sensual nature make it less suitable for the office or sport. It's best reserved for cooler weather and evening wear, particularly for dates or casual nights out, where its unique character can truly shine.

About

Lover in Dark opens with a sweet, juicy burst of apple and plum before settling into a warm, aromatic heart where herbaceous thyme and spicy cinnamon intertwine with delicate jasmine. The dry down is a comforting embrace of creamy vanilla and rich sandalwood, grounded by earthy cedar, creating a complex woody oriental that's both sweet and slightly masculine-leaning.
