Lasts forever so sweet and girly i’m in love. I get so many compliments

Feminine, soft, powdery, long-lasting, pleasant. Not particularly unique or expensive-smelling.

Lovely combination of orange blossom, neroli, and marshmallow - wonderfully delightful! The dry down becomes a little less sweet on my skin, but still wonderful. Very long lasting sillage. Amazing for sweet perfume lovers!

I got this oh my gosh, 10 years ago the first time, and have since repurchased here. I love Lucky Scent. This is the most wonderful sugary marshmallowy delectable mouth watering fragrance there is. I love it so. So sweet it makes my teeth hurt just thinking of it. Oh do give it a try. Never knew Rhianna wore this, but safe to say, she smells good too! I hope to have it in my arsenal as long as I'm alive.

I have tried hundreds of gourmands and this is the most delicious perfume ever! It somehow captures the lightness of powdered sugar, like biting into a fancy marshmallow or meringue that instantly dissolves on your tongue. Very sweet but never becomes overwhelming even on hot summer days. The orange blossom note is natural and lovely and has my husband telling me I smell like the orange groves in southern California. This is happiness in a bottle and I don’t know if I can ever wear anything else...

I so love this!!! After sampling it, I added it to my collection immediately. It reminds me of a pleasant bubble gum or some kind of exclusive expensive candy. Definitely recommended for a summer night of fun and romance with a girly girl vibe.

T.his is the scent of a marshmallow, but it is a rich, decadent, and somewhat musky and mysterious marshmallow. It is not a linear or boring scent, but sweet and mysterious in its dry down. Of course it goes without saying that you must like sweet gourmand scents to appreciate it. I however love these scents and this one is now among my favorite new bottles. I would add that when I originally got my sample that the juice was red and I hesitated thinking that it might stain my clothing. I forged ahead and bought a bottle and have had no issues with the color. Delightful addition for the gourmand lover. I think this scent would be lovely on a man as well who appreciates these sweet mysterious scents.

Smells like Neroli Parfum from La' Occitane! exactly like it. La' Occitane has less sugar which i like a whole lot better plus its cheaper!

I don't like very sweet scents so I probably should have stayed away from this one, but I love Hanae Mori Butterfly so I tried it based on one reviewer's comments. The sweetness was not gourmand on my skin, it was just cloying and unpleasant and had a mothball undercurrent (citrus often does this on my skin, unfortunately). This is the kind of perfume that, if I smelled it on someone, I would avoid her. I don't agree that it smells like Butterfly- this one lacks the creaminess and freshness.

I LOVE this scent!! It is my favorite out of all the perfumes I've tried. I love sweet smelling scents and this one is the best! It doesn't have any kind of synthetic smell like other perfumes and it lasts so much longer too! I can still smell this on me at the end of the day. I can't really afford it so I have to buy the samples but it's definitely worth the price since it's made with oils and doesn't have alcohol like all other perfumes. I'd love to own a full bottle someday!

Creamy, sweet orange blossom, sunny jasmine, a hint of red rose, and a good dose of vanilla marshmallow sweetness. This is one of the happiest fragrances that I own. It's a lovely, sweet, gourmand floral, and the orange, gold and red feel of it makes me think of sunshine.

This smells exactly like Hanae Mori Butterfly.

Oooh, this one is interesting and complicated! When I first applied it at night, I was taken aback. WAY too sweet. I was drowning in the marshmallow-caramel sugar of it. I almost washed it off. Over the next few hours into dry down, it was still too sweet for me, but no longer cloying. Definitely marshmallow, lots of sugar. I shrugged and thought, "next"! But then... I woke up this morning, and I am left with only the most haunting, magical remnants of a perfect blend of spice, jasmine and neroli. It's heavenly. I want to bathe in it. So the question here is: can I live with the first few overbearing hours of sugar to get to this gorgeous finish? I am undecided as yet, and going to work through this sample and decide....

This one develops beautifully. For me, it is an evening scent. Sweet and mysterious, I don't get any marshmallow from it. It develops over time, leaves a wonderful scent painting over time, and lasts for 12 hours. Test first. I get better effects from wearing it sprayed 8-12 inches from my clothes or wrist.

You can't go wrong with scents by Kilian, unusual and beautiful and so alluring to wear. But "Love" is without a doubt the best one on me, and the sillage is insane. I put in on around 8 am and by 8pm it is still going strong and true to scent… worth every penny.

By far my favorite Kilian, and I think I've tried them all. I wear perfumes to amuse myself and not for others, that being said, my husband loves this. I can understand the connection to marshmallows; subsequently, when I smell this, I also get a sweet orange blossom. Love is sweet on an ethereal level. I find it quite subtle and not cloying. I also only spray it once or twice. If you like light, sweet gourmands that are reminiscent of Peeps marshmallow treats, you'll really need to try Love. I know when you hear the words "marshmallow" and "Peeps" you're thinking cheap...Love does not smell cheap at all. It is very well put together and I would highly recommend this to any lover of sweet perfumes. I just purchased a full bottle and it is certainly worthy of the price. Get a sample!

A long list of luscious notes that just ended up being a sort of unremarkable sweet muddle, with the neroli taking charge. Faded to almost undetectable- save for a whisper of the neroli- in less than fifteen minutes.

love not. was really looking forward trying by Kilian fragrances. can't say I hate it but nothing special either. Spicy, yes, but without depth and mystery, a bit sweet. reminded of some synthetic commercial fragrance. Kilian's Love is anything but love.

This insanely delicious scent was a gift from my love. I found it in at COS BAR in Santa Barbara and fell in love. The price was a bit daunting for me, a student, so I admired from afar. A few weeks later, while waiting for a flight to depart to NYC with my sweetheart, he surprised me with a beautifully wrapped pressie! Inside was my coveted bottle of LOVE. I wear it religiously. It spans seasons and emotions unlike my other perfumes. This one reminds me of romantic love with the promise of forever.

This scent is so beautiful. It is light and very feminine. The dry down was not powdery on me at all. The scene has a good mix of sweet and sexy.
