So again I really wish fragrantica had a neutral button as I can’t say I like or love this fragrance but I don’t think this is bad either ! With that said though, I can’t see myself wearing this when I have a collection of close to 200 frags so for that reason this gets a dislike.
This starts off with a blast of basil and mint and to be honest the basil and mint DO NOT mix well with 1 another. What you get from the top notes is pretty much what you get throughout the life of the fragrance but in the mid and the base this does start to smooth and get a little more pleasant but the basil in this is a little overkill. Also to note is that I’m not a huge basil fan although I did like basil in ed hardy villain.
This did last 4-6 hours but with only light projection.
Overall— 5.5 out of 10 ! Below average in every category but not the worst smell in the world.

As unique as this fragrance/presentation is, I am really surprised this has been out for two years and has gone pretty much completely unnoticed since. The whole “shake and spray” concept alone is worth owning this bottle IMO, as the effect is absolutely memorizing and makes me wonder why this hasn’t caught on yet in the mainstream market.
Personally I always shake my fragrances before use, as I come from a background of vaping and ejuice, where shaking is absolutely necessary to blend ingredients properly (as well as steeping, which is something I found happens in fragrances as well, since as frags age they do change and mature). And with this frag, shaking is definitely a requirement, otherwise you would be spraying the clear section first, then once that runs out, you would be spraying the pure blue section (not sure if there is a difference in smell/potency between the two).
Not only is watching the blue and clear oils/liquid separate again after shaking very fascinating (almost looks as if the two are actively opposing and reacting to eachother chemically), but the scent really isn’t that bad at all. To my nose it is definitely a “cleanly shaved fresh out of shower” style of smell. It has this soapy/shaving cream/aftershave style of smell to it (a bit barbershop old-school 90’s vibe). And for me it seems to last quite a while.
Honestly I would love to see more fragrance houses attempt this style with some extra creatively, as there could be some interesting twists to this technique. Such as a fragrance that smells one way if you don’t shake, and smells slightly different if you shake it up. Or Perhaps be able to choose 3 options, the clear section (fresh and light), the colored section (deep and sensual), or a shaken combined scent (fresh and sensual). A 3-in-1 fragrance could be quite a hit if executed right.

This is my updated Ed Hardy Love Is… (for men) review.
By the time Christian Audigier launched Ed Hardy Love Is… (for men) many people were done with the Ed Hardy line. Besides Villain and Love & Luck, many people sleep on the Ed Hardy line. I feel many people slept on Love Is.. because it really is an awesome complex scent. To me, this is the Ed Hardy line’s best kept secret.
Christian Audigier’s Ed Hardy Love Is… was one of my first Ed Hardy scents. I got Love Is…, Love & Luck (for men) and Villain (for men) in a three-pack of 1oz/30ml sized bottles in Sam’s Club for $30.00 in May 2016. Some two years after the launch of this hidden gem.
This is my favorite Ed Hardy scent and a rare “shake and spray” cologne. This means it is a fragrance that you are suggested to shake before spraying it onto you. This isn’t as needed but it helps as the juice is clear on the top and more blue on the bottom.
At first, I thought Love Is… is similar to Tommy with a little Mark Ecko Green with a strong minty apple scent. But after seeing Eau de Nikita’s review, and smelling it, it smells along the line of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male. However I think it is more along the lines of Le Beau Male which is more green along with Marc Ecko’s Green.
When I say this, I mean it’s not a dupe or a clone just one that smells similar to those scents all in one. While they are all green, they do it differently. The difference with Ecko Green is the slight musk and wood but not quite pine like Ecko Green to it rather than heavy musk like most Ed Hardy scents have. Le Beau Male is not woody and more herbal compared to Love Is… though still very green like Love Is…
The main notes to Love Is… for me is mint. I really get a minty blast upon first spray. I also get quite a bit of the apple note as well. There is a little bit of juniper too but it is not that strong. Then it goes to a real nutmeg note in the mid that dominates the musky base.
The scent lasts pretty long, about seven hours so despite not being a real beast, it nearly lasts a workday. I find it gives moderate sillage as well for about an hour to an hour and a half. The scent is fairly unique despite the comparison to Le Beau Male and Ecko Green. This is nearly a four season scent but I wouldn’t say it works on the colder winter days. It’s also more of a day scent to me, especially during winter.
Overall I have to give this scent a 8 I love this scent. It is a top 5 scent to me right now and I have to say what I really like it is the sharp minty note to it and it’s length.

I was gifted this. I liked it and it sprayed on like an oil. I remember u had to shake the perfume so the oil and cologne could combine. Upon first spray me it reminded me of that “JPG leMale” type smell but way fresher better way lighter and wearable. I would compare the scent to Just Cavalli I Love Him ( which I love) category by the way it is made–wearable versions of a favorite niche cologne without the headache and syrupy sickly notes. take the good parts out of leMale and leave the nice notes for Ed Hardyove is… This one is more minty then has a warm soft buttery apple nutmeg barber shop smell.i personally can’t stand JPG leMale but I can wear the Ed Hardy and like it. Id prefer it be worn in winter days.
