Straight up lily of the valley, drydown features woods, light musk, citrus twist and hyacinth. On me performance is below average. This is not a unique fragrance and it’s easily forgotten..
You can find this everywhere at a discount, but it’s not a safe blind buy. The opening is a too sharp and LiL takes awhile before it gets smoother. A pass for me.
Sweammelm – :
I blind bought this randomly since it was sold at a great price.
I’ve been looking up past fragrances that I loved as a pre-teen and I’ve noticed that lily of the valley was a common note in the ones I loved most.
Beleaf by Body Shop was my absolute favorite and so was Lancome’s Miracle so Magic!
I first sprayed this on my arm and I’m immediately smiling, it’s such a happy, fresh and clean floral!
Not at all soapy or powdery, nothing that would make you think an elderly lady would wear this.
I’ll be wearing this to the gym, work, friend’s, family get together’s everywhere!
Unfortunately, this isn’t the longest wearing fragrance but I’m excited to see how it performs in the spring!
Either way, I’m SO completely happy with this fragrance and didn’t expect to love it as much as I do!
Highly recommend for those who enjoy light florals, fresh scents that feel happy and invigorating!!
Фокин А – :
A gorgeous bottle to begin with. It’s a fresh soft white floral. To me it’s lilly of the valley from start to finish, I don’t detect any other notes. Bottom line it’s a beautiful soft lilly of the valley not heavy or cloying. So worth buying.

I usually avoid green or citrusy scents,also I’m not a fan of Lily of the valley.I saw a gift set of it and it was about 25$ so I decided to give it a go and if didn’t like it,I could give it to my mom or my sister in law,they both adore this genre
I was surprised to see it’s box and bottle.it looks expensive and niche-like!and it’s scent was another surprise.yes it’s not my usual gourmand type but I actually like it and find it well put together and high quality
It opens with a citrusy,a bit sour bergamot and green and spicy florals.very refreshing.I can detect lots of hyacinth and galbanum which bring spring and nature to my mind.after couple of minutes citrus juicy sourness fades away and it becomes less spicy and more floral.muguet and hyacinth become the stars of show while jasmine follows.it finally dries down to a fresh,slightly peppery,slightly green floral scent in a base of clean musk and some woods.
It’s a clean and fresh scent,a great choice for hot days,but I like it mostly because I believe though it’s not heady or heavy,it has character.it’s not just panother light,watery floral,it feels so free-spirited and independent while being fragile and delicate.it’s not sexy or flirty,but it can make a good office as well as a perfume for special occasions,even a signature for lovers of green and clean,light florals.
Sillage is moderate.I expected longevity to be the same but it actually lasts on me above my standards
For me it’s a solid like.it stands out among my mostly warm and sweet perfumes.the only slightly similar perfume that I have is “issey miyake a scent”
OLegiKK – :
I bought this one for the bottle mainly – it is SO BEAUTIFUL, I just had to have it! I was staring at it swooning in the shops a good few years ago when it was new, but back then I was totally broke and could afford to have 2 bottles of perfumes only..So for the bottle alone it is a winner for me – even if it stinks, which it ain’t!
As for what’s inside the bottle – the first spray is disappointing, as initially I get a cheap citrusy generic flower-scent and also a strange peppery note, which is not listed! This is a bit of a turn-off, as I`m not really a fan of pepper..Thankfully about half an hour later the scent starts to show it’s true character. I get muguet, orchid and all sorts of woods mainly, not much hyacinth or bergamot. Rose is also there; not a lush rose, but a really crisp and clean one. It’s a fresh but soft composition, I kind of agree that it’s similar to Yardley Daisy or another few cheapies, not in a bad way, even though let’s be honest – it doesn’t smell expensive. It’s a relatively linear, reliable and uncomplicated scent, well-suited to spring days – it actually smells like A spring day or a fragrant bouquet of fresh flowers in the springtime – as a lot of other Fragranticians have said before me. The woody notes make the juice warmer and a bit sweeter so I could imagine wearing it even in the autumn before the colder days come in.
Those who like spring flowers will love it, it is a safe enough blind buy for most age groups, no fireworks, yet it is a lovely perfume and I’m glad to own it. At the mo 50/50 abt repurchasing.
lesch – :
This is a light and pretty floral that I’d worn frequently during the summer and am still wearing as it’s been unseasonably hot lately. LIVE IN LOVE had been a very inexpensive blind buy (about $10) that turned out very well. Although it isn’t the world’s most exciting fragrance, it’s precisely because of this subtlety that I’ve been wearing it so often on hot and sticky days.
Although the notes indicate prominent lily of the valley and hyacinth – both of which I like – I have to say that neither one is particularly noticeable on me as such. This fragrance isn’t sweet, but it also isn’t dry or green. For me, LIVE IN LOVE is a perfumey scent, or perhaps “cologney” would be more accurate (although it’s an edp) as the sillage is so soft and I can apply in a liberal fashion. Longevity is about 4-6 hours. As I’d purchased this in July, I don’t yet know how it will work for me in cooler weather when I usually prefer stronger fragrances.
artrit – :
so so good!! Got a 50ml for $15,which is about $7 in American,i love this,reminds me of Splendor by Elizabeth Arden,so fresh and clean without smelling sour,so underated!!
zelenineduard – :
* These are my personal experiences/thoughts with this fragrance. Yours/others may differ. *
Initial – lily of the valley + hyacinth + galbanum
Drydown – lily of the valley + jasmine + cedar + musk
Duration – 10-12 hours
Projection – soft
Experiences – Opening is quite harsh, and does not feel quite natural; thankfully, it’s shortlived. The drydown is a very clean and green lily of the valley-centered white floral.
Quick Thoughts – clean, green, soapy, floral, casual
Lotion – Lotion is very nice, although I don’t like the container (not a fan of tub containers, but it does come with a tiny spatula). Very creamy and moisturizing. Scent is very clean, like the perfume, but a little softer.
imiplewapGB – :
Unsung heroine of the perfume world. It’s pretty, floral, green and fresh. Hyacinth, muguet,and other flowers. It’s like holding a fresh picked bouquet in your hands and inhaling beauty.
Blind buy, not expensive, so very glad I tried it.
setoleg85 – :
This is a bargain priced fragrance that’s as pretty as a flower garden in full bloom. Perfect for any occasion, it’s floral, fresh, soft and feminine, and it lasts 4-6 hours. It may not have that killer edge that some of the older classics deliver, but it’s a beautiful all rounder.
Like a pretty starlet without a strong personality.
gkoom – :
This was a blind buy and I cant believe how beautiful and pretty this scent is! Its really heaven in a bottle! You can really smell lily of the valley and hyacinth. Its so fresh and pretty! I love it<3 But does anyone else think the packaging is weird? green… it should be white or white and pink I think 😛
Koshovenko – :
Hello hyacinth! Very prominent hyacinth opening and that’s one of my favorite floral notes. It compares to a hyacinth essence oil i have at home at the start.
Half an hour later that calms down and blends beautifully with galbanum, jasmine and rose. What a beautiful bouquet. The lily of the valley is not overpoweringly green as i expected it to be according to votes up here.
Has a classic feel that i love. Maybe too classic for some. Not classic enough for others. Try before you buy. Another hit in my book from Oscar de la Renta besides l’esprit de Oscar, a completely different and lovely floral composition.
rokpor – :
An exquisite experience. Highly underrated. Give it a try thru drydown plus.
smirnoff-artem – :
I am so pleased with this blind-buy purchase, having read great reviews here after seeking something citrussy yet floral to take on holiday at Easter. This fragrance has such a happy feel to it – to me, the dominant and star notes are galbanum and orange flower. It reminds me of a cross between O de Lancome (for its crispness) and O de l’Orangerie (for its soft blossom-like quality). Its fresh, bright notes are delightful and I highly recommend.
ВИКТУАР – :
This is real nice. Very feminine. But like a spring outdoors scent. No overbearing flowers that burn your nose, or smell too grand-motherly. I smell a little jasmine, hyacinth & what must be the ginger orchid. I don’t get any rose (which is good because I don’t like a rose smell. ) And I get very little amber.
The cedar is so light that is it more of a ‘mixer’ than a scent.
It will always be one of my favorite spring scents. Silage & Longevity both are quite weak, if that matters to you. A couple of hours is about what you’ll get.,
Rolleyemoke – :
Update since March 2016.
Ok… I confess. I judged this jem too quickly.
Last year, I though LIL boring and unmemorable…
Boy was I wrong!!
I was going to get rid of this since I haven’t touched it in nearly a year but decided to give it another try.
At first… the same… couldn’t really smell much, and thought ‘too delicate’ for my taste. So unlike my usual 1~2 spritz, I just sprayed good 5~6 times over my chest, my clothes, etc.
5 minutes later, WOW!!!! It was a if I was sitting in the middle of a lovely field of Lilly of the Valley! Slightly green, but just beautifully lively floral LOTV, which immediately reminded of Dior’s Diorissimo.
The major difference I feel between LIL and Diorissimo is that Diorissimo has much stronger, sweeter first impression than LIL, which I think is from the lilac note in Diorissimo.
All in all, LIL got me really hooked to LOTV scent and I’m going to explore more perfumes with LOTV like Jessica McClintock.
stein1 – :
It’s lovely. A lovely woody floral, very fresh and natural smelling. Very pretty and endearing. Perfect for giving me a lift if I’m a bit down. It’s delicate and soft and sweet and feminine. Very beautiful. Special.
evgenia – :
What is this…
I first thought I’d been given a fake, the label could just peel off like a paper type one, but no.
It’s like the Arden fifth avenue, maybe red door, maybe Chanel number 5 I dislike anything like those.
For reference We have a damp climate here, and it’s summer.
This is citrus floral soapy to me.
Not soapy like Chloe intense, not citrus like Calvin Klein in2u, or boss orange, its smooth but it’s got a little nip to it, it seems well blended.
I cannot identify what the aroma I’m getting is, it’s like warm bitter very softly so, it has connotations of panache which I dislike intensely, from years ago.
It’s like it’s made with the same background or base as fragrances of ten to twenty years ago. Mature maybe.
I think the black lid oscar de la renta with the yellows clear juice is mature too, but more pleasant than this.
Not pleasant to me this fragrance, I slightly wince everytime I sniff it.
Good price though
I would rather try the summer dew purple bottle I think it is, or something else.
For sale or swap, I’m in New Zealand
EDIT
citrus floral, if you can imagine grapefruit included gives it a little bitter bite, when I sniff this up close its ok, the opening is the best part of it, the rest I get wafts of it just feels old fashioned for me. I find fifth avenue or chanel 5 scents like that feel old to me
motorcraft8 – :
This one smells like home to me… green, slightly aquatic, floral. It smells just like my city after a spring rain. Flowers and leaves kissed by fresh rain drops. It even has a hint of that “rain on pavement” smell we get here in the Pacific Northwest after the first light rain in a few days. That probably sounds terrible, but I truly make the association in the best way possible. lol
I picked up a bottle blind at TJ Maxx for a great price and it’s nice. It’s not what I typically go for but for now I like it enough to keep it in my collection. It’s got good longevity and silage as well. I was kinda shocked by the reviewers saying it’s weak. My bottle seems to be quite impressive. Perhaps each batch is inconsistent… I’ve definitely experienced that in other perfumes.
zxzx6at9n9xzx – :
Live In Love is an odd one for me. The opening notes, for me, came across as chemical/floral. My first impulse was to race to the bathroom to scrub it off of my wrists. I managed to resist that impulse, and am glad I did. After about 30 minutes, the perfume turned into a soft lily of the valley/jasmine scent on my skin; I could occasionally pick up on the cedar too. The scent stays close to the skin and has crazy longevity. Sprayed it on around 7 AM, and was still able to smell this 14 hours later.
zaxspb78rus – :
I gifted a 1oz of this to my mother because she loves Oscar de la Renta and this was an incredible steal with a very pretty bottle. She usually wears quite heavy, musky fragrances so I was pleasantly surprised when she said she loved LiL and wore it through the summer. It’s a nice green floral, pretty and refreshing. And yet…every time she would wear it we were both reminded of something from our pasts, though it took me forever to figure out the origin. One day it hit me…dog shampoo. Yes, this is absolutely the scent of my old family dog (RIP Cinnamon) fresh from the groomers.
…
I haven’t yet decided if I should potentially break the spell for my mom or let it be. I mean, it’s still a lovely smell so I might just let her stay enchanted with it…I still sneak a spritz of it myself here and there!
Белый принц – :
Found this on a clearance rack. I was surprised when I tried it– a real beauty with delicate flowers amid a trail of woods. Wonderful sillage. This one should have a staring role.
makmak – :
Enchantingly Beautiful Floral Masterpiece! Perfectly blended sophistication of flowery sweetness grounded by earthiness! This is a Very Pretty, light & airy, and so damn Romantic fragrance! Absolutely Perfect for a Spring/Summer Wedding…Live In Love is the perfect name for this Exquisitely Gorgeous treasure in a Bottle!
wka686intitytek – :
Live in love is a somewhat ridiculous name.
Although the scent is quite nice.
On bad days it does give me headaches. Still it’s easy to wear. Not an overly complicated smell, but wearable. Absolutely wearable.
C_h_e – :
This one has become my daily go-to. It is simple, but sophisticated. I feel it is easy to wear, not overpowering. I wear to the office, out to dinner with my husband or shopping. It works for all occasions.
VIRUSOOOO – :
In love with this one and longevity its 10 hours !!! On me he doesn’t have anything common white diorissimo its moor on Creed Spring flower on me ,delicious white flowers which hint of fruit and the dry dow its creamier poudre very beautiful combination other heaven in bottle !! Respect Mr Renta
StalhallMexia – :
@Humpis, the liquid in my bottle is also colored, not clear and it is perfectly fine. It’s some sort of soft pink/yellowish. So it should be ok 🙂
Frosenka713 – :
Wonderful spicy crisp-floral ,it’s last long time and the drawdown its creamy powdery cold smell I love Live in love !!!!
Nikmorsh – :
I love this perfume fresh flowery a bit spicy. But now i have a question. My last bottle I bought on Ebay and I wonder if its a bit old. Can you who have it tell me if the liquid is clear or slightly yellow?? Just a few drops left in my old bottle so I cant see.
Thanx
dimok536 – :
I bought this scent a few years back and decided to try it again for the warm weather. I thought just maybe it would hit me different but nope, it smells like soap to me. Talk about last forever on myself! Why is it when I really am not too fond of a fragrance it last forever but when I think it is beautiful, it fades away faster than I can believe. This one smells okay when I first spray it but as it dries down, it smells of strong bath soap. Not one of my best yet. I have found as I age that my love of different perfumes change so who knows, maybe in another year or two, I may change my mind but for now, not to my liking.
Morz – :
Green fragrance that starts out a bit sharp but veers into a soft, rosy elegance that sits close to the skin. Fantastic for the price! It is actually almost a dupe of Givenchy Ange ou Demon Le Secret, and I would also recommend if you like Dior Forever and Ever.
afw492elipseskism – :
A beautiful spring scent. It starts green with berganot, galbanum and hyacinth. For me the lily of the valley is not the star here, it’s more in the background together with the jasmine. The scent stays close to the skin and the longevity is not impressive. It’s a cold perfume, safe and innofensive, but I think it’s a nice alternative of Diorissimo.
Equallmub – :
Well. It was a ‘meh’ perfume to me.
When I first applied on my wrist, I couldn’t smell anything. I had to spray 3 times to feel that I had some perfume on.
Also, it smelt just like Elizabeth Arden’s Pretty, which has a tad bit sweeter tone, similar nonetheless.
Floral, yes, but overall subdued and subtle perfume.
If I were to live in love, this is definitely not the way I want love to be like. It’s like faded, old remnants and memoir of love rather than living love with passion and some fire.
Spraying on my shirts, like 5 pumps, I get the occasional whiff once in a while.
It’s not very memorable scent, and I am pretty disappointed with my blind purchase.
=========
Edited…
Usually I have hard time with perfume selection on rainy days… To my surprise, Live in love performed much better on a rainy day. Floral tone of the lily of the valley stood out much more prominent and lasted quite nicely than when I wore on a sunny day.
sitt1 – :
Live In Love (don’t like that name by the way) is a beautiful floral chypre. . I’m wearing my floral perfumes this spring and so I’m communing with flowers. This frag is indeed a chypre as it smells mostly of woods although it’s still very flowery. The woodsy notes of sandalwood and other woods are supporting the floral heart very nicely. It smells like a forest where there is lily of the valley and other white flowers on shrubs and on the ground. The scent opens with citrus and then jumps into a lily of the valley that is reminiscent of Diorissimo by Dior. The other flowers include hyacinth, jasmine, orchid and African orange flower. They’re each pretty detectable especially the hyacinth. Very lovely floral fragrance. But for me the flowers are not the icing on the cake. It’s the galbanum which gives this scent a greenness and aromatic nocturnal quality that I love so much. The same can be said about that fragrant sandalwood an the woods. These are darker woods but they’re soft and very wearable, not as strong as other chypres I’ve experienced. The musk dry down at the very end is also nice. It’s an elegant and very formal fragrance, smells expensive and luxurious but you have to be into chypres. The price is affordable (cheap even) but the perfume smells like a million bucks. I recommend this for evening wear and formal wear. It smells really good. I would also recommend it for the late summer/early fall and throughout fall as I don’t feel it evokes the spring time all that much despite the lily of the valley note. It can still be worn in spring though. It’s subtle and yet strong at the same time. A fragrance of the night that impresses and arouses the senses. Love it.
inji_n – :
I was about to write this one off as “completely and utterly meh”, but something about it stopped me and I feel compelled to write a review.
The lily of the valley in this is very well done. I usually hate LOTV, and I’ve been avoiding this sample for the longest time as LOTV is usually a sharp, screechy and screaming mess on me. Here it is lovely; fresh, clean and never sharp, and I now understand the appeal, as it reminds me of freshly washed linens or clothing. I also love the greenness and the bergamot in the opening, which would be lovely and crisp against a cold morning. Some jasmine and orange blossom then develop in the heart, before it fades away into nothingness.
The scent also gave me a headache. Not good, but I finally understand why. I’ve had a few perfumes over the past year that have given me headaches, and I’ve pinpointed the notes that they have in common as sandalwood with cedar and/or unspecified “woodsy notes”. The perfumes seem to be about mid-price range, so I’m wondering if there’s something involved in the synthetic manufacture of these accords which causes them. Now I know what to avoid, and perhaps this will help someone else too 🙂
Sillage was moderate; longevity for about 4-5 hours.
wivver257 – :
It smells like a field of flowers, the morning after a rainy night. A very soft fragrance that makes you feel calm and clean.
Green, fresh and a dash of sweetness.
I wear this in the daytime. It will wake you up and prepare your mind for a crisp morning.
Glowworm – :
The lasting power is very poor on this one. That being said, I do find the scent enchanting. On me, this is a sharp white floral mixed with citrus. It’s fresh and perfect for a day perfume (well, if only it lasted longer than say 2 hrs…which is doesn’t). I picked this up cheap so I am enjoying it while it lasts but I wouldn’t bother getting it again though I do love this scent combination. I do not get any salt or sunscreen but maybe a little bit of soap.
vvteks – :
Just ew :(. I love lily of the valley in Diorissimo – but I hate when it’s blended with grass…
embankiweem – :
Starts off as sunscreen, but quickly dries down to a summery floral. Think of a carefree day at the beach with a smooth breeze that carries the scent of beach-goers sunscreen, a tang of sharp salt water, and your own elegant perfume. Fun, casual, and well-made.
caleb587 – :
Also not a review (I reviewed this one before) but a mentioning on longevity in addition to the tip below: I sprayed a winter coat lightly with this and two days later, sitting at my desk with my coat behind me on the chair I am working in a soft Live in Love cloud. Lovely 🙂
Mewvx571Negeltzex – :
banana boat sunscreen
Niku – :
I’m not a floral fan, but the notes in this looked interesting enough for me to give it a try. It’s pretty and fresh, though it dries down a little powdery on me. Many reviews described it as green, but I am not getting any green from it at all. On my skin it’s sweet, a little powdery with a faint underlying spicy note – I’ll wear it occasionally as a change from my unisex niche fragrances and bitter green aromatics, but it’s just not me.
JoydayJek – :
Gotta give this one a “meh” rating. It is accurately described as a “green” fragrance, and it really is. Kind of reminds me a bit of the earthy smells you might experience after rain mixed with, well I just don’t know, a clean pile of clothes I think. I just sprayed it on my arm to better get a sense of what’s what, however this one just isn’t one of my loves. It’s a bit flat and green and doesn’t seem to go anywhere. I don’t feel a huge loss about this as I only spent $10 at Marshalls for it, but still, it just doesn’t do it for me.
Not offensive, just blah.
Blind purchasing, people! 😛
If you are wanting to try something from the other end of the spectrum for Oscar de la Renta, “So de la Renta” is a well done, womanly perfume that is in a different ballpark all together. Comparing apples to oranges I guess.
Oleh94 – :
I have this one but rarely wear it. It smells nice but the lasting power is just not there for me. Oscar de la Renta makes a lot of wonderful scents and this is one of them, but just is not very strong or long lasting. Maybe I got an older bottle? That is another thing that bothers me, the bottle. I do not like the big bubble thing on the top. Makes me want to hide it in it’s box. Silly I know but that is just the way I am when bottles are not that cool. Maybe it will grow on me as the weather warms up, but for now, it is just there. I won’t go into the notes as everyone else already has done that for us.
Helenic – :
I’m so happy that I gave this a try!
The first spritz gave me a blast of alcohol and some aquatic scent (not listed in the notes), but this quickly fades and the sharp Lily of the Valley and hyacinth comes into play with a soft, green tea. Smells like a sunny day in early spring, lots of fresh cut flowers.
After one hour there is bergamot (more tea feeling!), jasmine and some delicious woodsy notes (cedar mainly). I really enjoy this drydown, as the flowerpower opening was a bit too much for me. This is a unique green fragrance that is good for everyday wear!
Like many others have mentioned, the only downside to this fragrance is the longevity. I did two spritzes on my skin and two in my hair – It was completely gone after two hours. This is a really weak Eau de Parfum, which is a shame, since its composition is beautiful.
danonina – :
I’m a fan of most scents that incorporate lily of the valley and bergamot so I felt this would be a safe blind buy. I love the fresh smelling concoction here, but it disappears very quickly. The hunt continues for a long lasting green floral.
jaricus – :
I have a vast array of perfumes- when I purchased this, I used it all within 2 weeks and ignored all others. That is the best review I could give a perfume lol.
What is great about this is you get that smells-good-cant-tell-what-it-is comments, when you smell naturally good without it being obvious its from perfume.very slightly green, its not obviously floral. I think its because its a super clean scent , a bit like an hour long shower and shampooing your hair till its squeaky clean. I dont have any other perfume that has that effect. A joy to wear, very uplifting and bright and very very addictive !!
krateus69 – :
I really liked this with the first spray. I have enjoyed the perfume for a few hours now. The dry down was familiar, but I couldn’t figure out why for a while….I think the dry down is very similar to white diamonds lustre’s dry down. At least on my skin. I really like white diamonds lustre and I really like this.
Wjroenne – :
The first spray can be a bit sharp – that Lily of the Valley and Hyacinth – but it soon calms into a fresh, green scent, very springlike. None of the other florals get much of a look-in, though. Unfortunately after an hour or two it vanishes completely. Not much actual Living in the Love, then! The first spray or two is quite zingy and at this price you can afford to spritz it around a bit. I would say, better in spring and summer when the freshness and “green” scent are very cooling. Not a favourite, but pleasant enough 🙂
Deroxytdic – :
This is very nice. I love lily of the valley + hyacinth.
LOLO66 – :
Bought this sweet floral yesterday for only $6.98.
At first sniff I was a bit terrified, aye too floral (lily of the valley)for my taste… that was at first sniff. I decided to spray twice, allow it to sit for a while and decide than whether it was too floral for me. Less than 5 minutes after spraying I knew I loved it ! Soft, floral but clean and not a clingy floral. It smells familiar yet I still can not put my finger on why it smells familiar.
I am not big on lily of the valley as it tends to give me a headache, fortunately this beauty leaves me happy and smelling fresh and lovely, if I do say so myself.
Lasting power on me is excellent ! Sprayed it this morning, had a nervous day and it still smells wonderful in the evening!
TalWarDrapilm – :
First of all: I am beyond saddened about the passing of this gentleman and genius. I always and will continue to admire his designs, work, personality and style.
I was thrilled when he and the brand took more control of their fragrances again. To date I have (I think) 4 ODLR scents in my collection and am planning to add the original Oscar next. But that’s another story and review 🙂
Live in Love – how fitting the name is and what a nice meassage. My mother gifted this scent to me right before going on vacation to Portugal. Mom knows best, right?
I am almost certain that we all know the feeling of falling in love. The excitement that comes with it and the feeling that everything is so easy and possible! The scent perfectly captures and transports all of this – at least in my opinion. It’s flowery and fresh, uplifting and cheerful and – of course, it’s ODLR ladies – classy. LOTV is very prominent – which is perfect because I love the smell of it.
Longevity and sillage are amazing and better than expected, actually. It lasts forever on clothes and my colleague always wonders who or what smells so good. And the bottle is beautiful as well 🙂
Love!
PS: I need to get my hands on the body powder puff. I love “girly” things like that 🙂

I bought this based on the notes and reviews and I LOVE IT! It’s a new favorite. Clean, fresh, floral, green…LOVE!
SG77 – :
A green refreshing breath of Lily of the valley mixed with a little Hyacinth opens up into a subtle flowery scent.No one note predominates part from the greennotes.This is an easy to wear perfume that has really grown on me and has turned from a like to a love.Longevity is average and silage is soft.I do think this is the perfume that Penhaligons Bluebell should have become,instead of the overly astringent mess it currently is.Incidentally the bottle and packaging are classically gorgeous.
artergeTamb – :
Live In Love has something that reminds me Baiser Volé (Cartier). White floral, fresh, green, woodsy dry down, really pleasant and delicate. It smells like a spring garden after rain. Unfortunately sillage is weak and longevity is about 2 hours on me. 🙁
KRASH – :
Grown-up version of Daisy. A little crisper, a little more sophisticated. Beautiful!
sashok642010 – :
Searching for an alternative to citrus scents for hot weather I came across this one. I love florals but the ones I have are only wearable during an average Belgian summer with temperatures barely reaching 25°celcius.
I bought this blindly and considering the low longevity rates here I also ordered the scented bodylotion along with it.
I’m very happy with it, I feel as if I’m surrounded by lovely bouquets of freshly cut springflowers. It is just as I imagined it would be, the only thing that surprised me is how long it stays. People here rate it weak to moderate but I get at least 5 to 6 hours with good sillage before it turns into a skincent for another 2 to 3 hours, and that is without the bodylotion!
Tomorrow and the folowing days temperatures are going to rise way above 30 °celcius, this beauty will come in handy!
Carpenter73 – :
Live in Love is a more floral and green, less sweet version of So De La Renta. It’s a light lovely scent.

I love this recent blind buy, it smells great in the heat lovely and clean yet feminine without being heavy or sickly.
It reminds me of the breeze on a summers evening when the flowers are giving up there scents but the breeze is picking up with night time freshness, perfect for wearing around children (& adults!) in the summer.
My 8yr old daughter said I smelt of clouds and daises and that’s compliment enough for me!
Also I can’t believe how cheap I got this, smells expensive and classy to me and 3 sprays has lasted 4-5 hrs, definitely on the favourite list!

Smells very similar to Marc Jacobs Daisy or Jessica Simpson I Fancy You but way smoother and refined. This is what they aspire to be. Very nice to have in your collection.
