Smells very close to Dr Palmers Shea Butter lotion, the newer formula. I get a hint of lemon and cookie at first, which settles down to a pure sweet baby vanilla. Also evocative of Egyptian Musk a little, even though I don’t get a lot of musk. I am wearing it today, so let’s see if if it gets any notice.

To me this is comfort in a bottle. A warm and cozy milky vanilla with the musk lingering in the background keeping it a tad powdery.
This is not a scent I usually wear out, it’s too intimate and I like to keep it for myself and my loved ones. It’s one of my favorite bedtime scents.

I want this fragrance purely because it’s named directly from lyrics in a Blondie song – I think at this point in my collection, that’s enough of a reason to warrant purchasing something!

Mounds of dust, powdery, chalky, cold vanilla. I see the word ethereal thrown around everywhere but this time I really have to say it, ethereal!
This is other worldly, it makes me think of a pale blue ghost in an empty attic, sitting in a rocking chair, looking up at the moon. There is something oddly melancholic about it, but the fragrance is so sweet. I’ve never heard of white amber before, but this definitely isn’t a rich/dark amber so I guess it fits.

Soothing crystalline musk mixed with creamy vanilla and freshly baked bread. A hug in fragrance form.

A quiet lullaby. This fragrance is equally airy and earthy to me. It has a dreamlike quality to it that seems to encourage me to relax and peel away the layers of the day, and I feel less and less like punching someone the longer I wear it. 😉 So far my favourite to dab on the nape of my neck before bedtime.
I own the perfume oil, and this lingers beautifully. A definite re-purchase!

This smells pleasant enough, but I found it a bit boring and it gives me a headache. I’m a perfume newbie though, so I suspect I might be sensitive to certain kinds of musks. I also had hope it would be a warmer, milkier fragrance, but it’s definitely more cool.

This smells like the top of a baby’s head. It is lightly sweet and innocent. Definite notes of powder and vanilla. I use this as a linen spray on my sheets because it is the scent equivalent of sweet dreams. If I was to wear it on it’s own I would probably layer it with something as it is a little simple.

Creamy, sweet and comforting, but not sugary. The ambery drydown makes it sexier than it seems at first, creating a very grown-up gourmand.

Warm, creamy and beautifully delicate, not too sweet or musky. The Fragrantica description is very accurate. It’s a nice skin scent on me. I ordered at least $100’s worth of samples and this is one of the few I’d buy a full bottle of.

Love’s True Bluish Light is a fine example of what Ava Luxe does so well; milky, soft and powdery vanillas. I find this fragrance a little similar to Angel Face by the same house, however it’s not a complete replicate.
The composition opens with a delicate vanilla milky-ness. To be honest, Love’s True Bluish Light is fairly linear. After having worn this fragrance for nearly three hours, there hasn’t been much of a development since the opening.
I’m really enjoying the softness that this fragrance brings. It’s soothing in a creamy and sensual way. It’s thankfully not too sweet on my skin, but I can’t say that I find it particularly gourmand like others do. An oriental vanilla classifies it well for me.
I’m not usually a fan of mellow scents, but in this case, as the same with Angel Face, the subtlety is pleasing. I feel especially cuddly when wearing Love’s True Bluish Light.
It’s not a complex scent, but the simplicity works in a way that I wouldn’t want it to be altered in any fashion. I like having a scent in my wardrobe that sits amongst the loud and violent aromas to greet me with gentle thoughts and harmonious delicacy.
Surprisingly Love’s True Bluish Light lasts relatively well on my skin, but be warned that the sillage is very intimate. Occasionally I am asnomic to musk, so this fragrance will greet my nose when it feels up to it.

Love’s True Bluish Light
I bought this mainly because I love the name. It sounded lovely but I wondered if it might be too “foody” for me. Well,
Yes, this is gourmand, it is vanilla and it is rich and creamy. But I have to say, it is the most beautiful foody gourmand I’ve come across, and far from being heavy or cloying or too sweet. As it gets down to the base, it takes on a nice musky quality that balances out the sweet creaminess.
This is a nuzzler, for sure. It should definitely be on every gourmand lover’s list. It’s the epitome of the perfect gourmand for me, since I don’t care for the very sweet scents.

To say that anything whatsoever containing black musk is “pretty” is an act of courage for me, since I am, alas!, hyperosmic to it.
But Love’s True Bluish Light is really, really so incredibly well blended that I love it, and would recommend it to anyone who can wrap their senses around a gourmand – a sort of spicey creme caramel/flan musky mad little thing – that is a little more grown up, a lot different and rather fetchingly daring.
Love’s True Bluish Light is beautifully made, a sweet musky pretty thing that is creamy and sexy yet not overtly edible.Its a veritable compliment magnet, not to mention a real wrist sniffer, AND its niche but super affordable.
An 8.5 out of 10 for lasting power and sillage, but a 10 out of 10 for the genius of the perfumer’s blending of black musk in a gourmand composition.
