Love
Eau de Parfum - L’Oeuvre Noire Collection
by By Kilian

The Scoop
Kilian says the inspiration of Love was the marshmallow…a mouth watering treat for sensuous connoisseurs. It’s sweet (but not overly) and tender at first, a soft and sugared elixir mixed with the orangey delights of bergamot and neroli, warmed with caramel and vanilla. It's almost nostalgic in some way…not an old fashioned feel but more like youthful exuberance which gains a gentle sensuality as it warms on the skin and the rose, jasmine and sweet notes combine. Love captures that sweet transition from innocence to worldly, but it never crosses the line into beat-you-over-the-head sexy territory. It’s a memory scent, somewhere between a young girl’s unicorn, rainbows and purple phase and her door slamming, love struck tirades…right in-between innocence and not.

Love Notes
Bergamot calabria oil, Tunisian neroli oil, pink pepper berries oil, coriander seeds oil, honeysuckle, orange flower absolute, orange water absolute, Egyptian jasmine absolute, Bulgarian rose concrete, Bulgarian rose oil, iris butter absolute, reconstituted civet oil, caramelized sugar, vanilla absolute, cist labdanum absolute, white musk

I really like this fragrance, for me it smells just like orange sherbet and I get just a hint of the jasmine and rose in there too. It is quite a sweet perfume, but not sickly or plasticky. It doesn't seem to last long on my skin though. Nice one for spring/summer as it is quite light.

I thought I liked this when I first smelled it, but after wearing it for a few hours, I think it smells exactly like Aquolina Pink Sugar. As a matter of fact, my boyfriend asked if that was what I was wearing, so I'll save myself $175 and just get Pink Sugar if I want to smell like sugar and cotton candy. It's not offensive, just very, very sugary.

Love everything about Love. Complex but soft, sweet & feminine, Longest lasting, could still it smell as strong the next morning. Will certainly be splurging on a bottle.

I found this to agree completely with my chemistry and it had better than average sillage. Yes, it's a little sweet but I tend to like sweet scents. I can't wait for next Fall/Winter to get a bottle again for myself. It is more of a Fall/Winter scent, in my opnion but a worthy investment...Kilian's fragrances last forever! A worthy buy

Let me just say that I love sweet fragrances so I thought I would love this. This did not smell good on me. It was so syrupy sweet it actually made me feel sick. Sorry don't like it.

It starts out very fruity, but dries down to a lovely sweet gourmand scent on me. Very nice.

SWEET. Sweeter than sweet. Think: coconut bubblegum dipped in a vat of boiling liquid sugar. Might be ok for a day at the beach? Or for very young teens/preteens. Not offensive, but where's the bergamot, orange, neroli, jasmine, etc...? Save your $ and buy M.Micaleff for quality.

I do like this. I LOVE orange blossom and that is what this seems to be all about on my skin. No candy or bubblegum, just sugared orange blossom. This isn't FBW, but I like it and I can see someone wanting it. If you love sweet scents and orange blossom, try it!

Unfortunately, this DOES smell like pink bubblegum. I didn't want to believe it when I read the reviews, but it really is true! In fact, my fiance told me I smelled exactly like Bazooka Bubblegum, which is a perfect comparison. Too bad, I was hoping to like it!

Damn this is good! (By Kilian! Why must you produce such tempting elixirs?! Why must you force me to whip out my credit card?!) I didn't know I was such a sweet gourmandy type until I met these.... Not a false note here - just perfect!

I love this perfume. It IS sweet, but in a way that seems mischievous and a little bit sneaky, and yet somehow tender and vulnerable at the same time. It feels luxurious to wear it, and I swear it makes me feel like my eyes are twinkling. This is a gorgeous scent for women who love sweet, sparkly, tender scents.

I managed to put off smelling this for more than a year, because I just knew I would love it and I didn't have the money for it. Or didn't want to save the money for it... but now I've got a sample and my jaw is on the ground! What I love about it is I totally get a retro vibe from it, if a beautiful pin-up from the 40's and 50's was scratch-n-sniff this is what she'd smell like:-) It is divine. It smells like love, unpredictable and sweet! Must order!!

bubblegum and baby oil. cotton candy and marshmallows. sugary vanilla. maybe the faintest hints of raspberry and jasmine. my 15 year old niece and her 15 year old boyfriend love it. i only wear dark tuberosey florals so find this overly sweet and cloying (but yes, beautifully done).

Not your daughter's perfume. I think this is quite an adult fragrance. I'm not getting the marshmallow scent. Instead, I think it has a bare hint of seduction and ever so slightly naughty.

I can't quite wrap my olfactory nerves around this one. I don't hate it, it has some appeal, but I am not sure its me. I'm not that sweet, but in the right company, at the right time, if I wanted to come off as Edible...this might be the one. I bet Men Love it.

As a pal put it--this is what I imagine Ashley Dupre smells like. Expensive sugar with fruity sparkle. A very rich girls Angel.

On my skin this turned into jasmine meringue pie :( Not precisely the effect for which I was hoping, but I still give the fragrance two stars because it's clearly made from high-quality materials and I certainly could imagine it smelling nice on someone.

Laura - from San Francisco

A nice blend, that smells of meringue, as well for the "yumi" side, and screachy side, with a chore of flowers sparkles that fizz around while the perfume is settling on the skin.

A beautiful subtle vanilla. I ordered a sample and love it, but there is no way that I will be buying this - too expensive.

Rating:

G - from New Jersey

I used to have 30-40 perfumes that I rotated through. Since I purchased this, I have not worn anything else. On me, this is incredibly sexy...sweet without being cloying. And it's the first perfume my husband has ever loved on me. I may never need to buy another scent.

Molly -Event Planner from Merced

definately gourmond. Smells exactly (I mean, EXACTLY) like Double Bubble bubblegum, which in turn, smells a lot like Ferragamo Fascinating. Smells much like a cheap single note Demeter scent. Yes, it does smell yummy, but in a juvenile way. I can't get over the Double Bubble scent to it. I'd rather chew the gum than smell like it. Its rather overrated and expensive for the lack of complexity in it.

On me I got straight sugar, marshmallow, it does smell like candy although I couldn't pinpoint which one.. necco wafers came to mind though. Definitely girly girl but not for this one.

Anonymous -Teacher from Hawaii

This one is absolutely delicious! I don't get a lot of marshmallow but I am getting nuances of orange blossoms and jasmine all wrapped up in a cozy vanilla and musk blanket. It's going to come off very sweet so be warned! Actually, this reminds me a lot of Hanae Mori Butterfly, but this one being more interesting, refined and gentle. It's girly-girl at its finest!

Without refeshing my memory about the notes, I dumped this sample on this morning on my way out the door. My first impression was "marshmallow!" Upon drydown and closer inspection, I could pick out sweetly fresh, delicate blossoms - orange blossom, jasmine, and a hint of dewy rose. The floral notes really are beautiful, but the carmelized sugar/marshmallow note is just a bit out of my range when it comes to perfume. It's enjoyable and fun, but it kind of cheapens the overall experience - it's just too sweet of a note for me, I think. Nice, just not bottle-worthy for me.

I first tried this in Paris and it lasted all day and left pleasant memories.So I ordered a bottle and it leaked in the box, Luckyscent replaced it with a new one.I wear this over orange soap and lotion and it lasts all day.Vanilla,orange candy reminds me of that orange powdered fizzy candy.Yet this is still adult very unique!

This smells exactly like the Jasmine Vanilla tea that I have from Golden Moon tea. Exactly. I love it. It lasts and lasts -I've worn it all day and love it when I catch a whiff of myself. Too bad the price is prohibitive for me

At first I thought this might be a little to candy-ish going by it's top notes by it's dry down is beautiful on me. Definitely smell the marshmallow by there's an ambery/musk in there that makes this scent unmistakably classy and truly romantic. Definitely looking for the BIG bottle on my next go around!

I forgot to mention below that even though Love smells like Perfect Kiss, it smells better because it doesn't have the same sharp plastic smell. (I also accidentally bumped something and left the one directly below! oops!)

This smells almost exactly like Perfect Kiss! Maybe the honeysuckle and carmalized sugar smells similar to the honey suckle and chocolate in perfect kiss. I cant ever like chocolate-ty scents, but if i did, this one is a sophisticated chocolate. Even though it's not for me, I rate it highly because any scent that smells good even though I dont like it is probably a great perfume!

Very interesting. Initially fruity, not my favorite, but after a few minutes, develops into a feminine, flirty and sophisticated scent, without being neither childish, nor mature.

The top notes are slightly citrusy, but not overly. It is also quite sweet and reminds me alot of candy floss. The neroli is most prominent to me in its dry down, and I find I resist smelling it each time I sample it. Sillage is quite good and longevity is excellent, like Beyond Love. I like it enough to put it at the top of my purchase list.

Elle -bar tender from D.C.

Something about this reminds me of Indult Tihota, another overpriced vanilla scent. Sorry, but it comes across to me as much less complex and less interesting than that list of notes led me to expect. Not worth the price! If it was $50 for a 1.7 oz, then, yes, maybe I'd buy it, but not at this price tag. It's an orange blossom-vanilla-fruity scent, close to cotton candy-- I find Pink Sugar more interesting if we're going in that gourmand direction. Pass.

It starts out smelling like a very lemony fragrance (Orange Blossom) and I can sense a little bit of Jasmine there mingling in the background... To me it just feels like it needs a little more pink pepper to burst through at this point. It's quite interesting to sit and take big whiffs from my wrist and see where it's headed but this is not me. I think if you are in love with orange blossom essential oil, you should sample this. It's beautiful in a way that I can appreciate without being a big fan of citrusy scents.

This is as delightful as a sweet, delicious lemon meringue pie! It's a very pretty scent that feels perfect as framing when sitting on the balcony drinking my morning coffee, smelling the bird cherry below, in the pale early summer sun..

It is said that this one was inspired by a marshmellow, so it makes sense that it went on a little too sweet for my taste. I don't care much for marshmellows , except when they're hanging off the end of a stick, slightly burnt. This scent would be endearing on a twenty-year-old, but I've been around the block too many times to to smell like this. I was patient enough to wait for the drydown in the hopes that something more would be revealed, but in the end all I could think of was cotton candy. If you're looking for something pretty and light for summer, this one could work for you
