Love Spell Eau de Toilette Review

Okay, so let me begin with an advisory—Love Spell isn’t a perfume in the traditional sense. With hints of Peach, Cherry Blossom, and White Jasmine, the Victoria’s Secret Love Spell is more a Eau de Toilette than an Eau de Parfum*. This makes Love Spell mild and refreshing, and a perfect pick for someone who finds regular perfumes too overpowering to wear on a daily basis. On the flip side though, the scent here may not last as long as in EDPs as the concentration is not as intense. That said, I found the Victoria’s Secret Love Spell to be a fantastic EDT that keeps you smelling of flowers for a good number of hours before requiring any sort of retouch. Considering the summers in this country, Love Spell, in particular, is a great summery fragrance from VS. I carried it along for a family vacation to the seaside recently, and I must compliment its no fuss bottle that avoids any kids of spillage, and an easy to use spray nozzle that made for great travel-friendly packaging. An additional half star just for that.

So In Love Eau de Parfum Review

Seems like Victoria’s Secret can do no wrong when it comes to the fragrance market. Another scent that was brought back purely due to customer demand, Victoria’s Secret ‘So In Love’ is a timeless classic that can be worn by women of any age with ease. With undertones that I particularly love—rose, violet leaves, cognac, jasmine, honey and ylang-ylang- this a floral fragrance that is pleasant without being too sweet. Call it an ode to my name or whatever, but I find that I am very partial to perfumes with an essence of roses and So In Love is no exception. Despite the honey tones that sweeten the deal, the cognac warms it up just the right amount to maintain its beautiful essence of roses. In the years since its launch, So In Love has a found a niche group of loyalists who swear by it for its non-fruity non-chemical fragrance, including yours truly. Wear it on a first date, or a day out with your partner, for setting the perfect mood. You might want to thank me later!
