Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's generally well-suited for dates and casual wear where its romantic and creamy facets can shine. While some find it appropriate for all occasions, its rich, sweet character might be a bit much for a formal setting or the gym.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Love opens with a juicy burst of berries, intertwined with the sweet, powdery softness of mimosa and the delicate green floralcy of magnolia. The heart blossoms into a romantic bouquet of rose and ylang-ylang, adding a creamy, slightly tropical richness. As it settles, a warm, sensual base emerges, featuring earthy patchouli, smooth sandalwood, musky amber, and a touch of sweet vanilla, grounded by vetiver and iris.
