Sorce This is Not a Love Spell is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Caitlin Hayes. Sorce's This is Not a Love Spell carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, this is a jammy, powdery violet-heavy scent that many adore as a unique fairytale fragrance, while others find it too sour, powdery, or even like hairspray. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

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.

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate performance and sweet, distinctive profile make it excellent for casual wear and dates. It's a bit too whimsical and present for most formal or office settings, and definitely not suited for sport.

About

Opens with a distinctive candied violet and a sweet, almost jam-like blueberry, offering a unique fruity-floral blend. As it settles, hints of star anise and earthy ivy emerge, adding depth without overpowering the primary accords. The dry-down reveals a soft vanilla base, lending a cozy sweetness that balances the initial vibrant burst, sometimes leaning into a powdery, almost cosmetic feel.
