I love this perfume, I feel like a pretty woman who has true love when I was wearing this perfume. I already bought the 3rd bottle right now.
AARNIG – :
This is a chemical mess when it first goes on. Even if the dry down was fantastic, which it is not, I dont think I could take the wait to get through the top note mess. It drys down to what smells like just plain baby powder. I like powdery scents but I dont think any woman really ever wants to smell like baby powder. Like all you do is throw some joshnsons baby podwer on for your daily routine. Just not sexy.
NAkon – :
So many people dislike this for being a chemical smell. I don’t find True Love to be that way at all. The opening is a bit of a mess, true, so that may be why people perceive it as chemicals rather than a fragrance. You have to wait for this to settle a little, and even then you may not like it.
Definitely not a provocative or sensual scent, which is appropriate because True Love has to come from a different place. Not a clubbing scent, but do you expect True Love to be there? It’s the fragrance for someone lovely and shy, not flashy.
True Love has a LOT of iris and orris root, and those two don’t always go well with sharp greens like LOTV and freesia. There’s almost a dissonance. But somehow when this comes into focus after the first five minutes, it becomes such a comforting, womanly soft scent.
It’s actually rather motherly. Motherly in that it has a kind of quiet composure and offers a sense of peace. It always reminds me of the character of Kanga in the Winnie the Pooh stories. Maybe that’s a little weird. But it makes it a wonderful one to wear when you feel a little sad or under the weather. It is beautiful and soothing to me.
next80 – :
What can I say about this blind buy? It smells like nondescript chemicals, a bit sharp and rather cheap in the dry down.
True Love isn’t horrible, but it isn’t anything special. I can’t get a single distinctive note from this fragrance, which really is a shame. I’d love some freesia and apricots and roses, but all I get is perfumey chemicals. At least it’s not long lasting or overwhelmingly powerful. True Love is nothing like it’s name implies. I expected something strong, but TL is unremarkable.
Note to self: blind buys are a game of chance.
Equilibrium – :
I love the sweet smell, not too sweet and can feel about true love. Already bought 2nd bottles and still going to buy more if still have in the market. Love it a lot. ^^
KaosLaos79 – :
I really enjoy this perfume. One spray on my chest before bed to evoke soft and comforting memories. The mix Reminds me of flannel pjs that were in a linen closet for a season. True Love makes me feel safe and cozy.
asdad – :
I can smell some almond here
sla424JeomiWogkig – :
Bought this as a blind buy and UUUGGGHHH!!! Yes, if I want to smell like a man, I would wear this or Stetson.
Some thing in this scent is absolutely over powering all the beautiful flowers.
Glad I only paid $7.00 for it.
This one is too strong and masculine for me.
Will spray paint the top and bottle black and give it to my boss. LoL!
Naipleplema – :
Ordered this on eBay after reading the reviews and I love it. I agree that it doesn’t last very long so if you spray it on your clothes it will last longer. It’s not a complex fragrance but that’s ok. It’s a soft powdery slightly vanilla and light floral. You can spray away and it will never be overpowering. Sometimes I just want to wear an understated fragrance that’s soft and light. I think I’ll order a backup bottle because I think it’s discontinued as I don’t see it on the Elizabeth Arden website.
Volchara1 – :
new found love for this one. Lily of the valley, hint of spicy carnation, a little rose and green leaves. For some reason the bitterness in this reminds me of sweat or musk in the best sense of the word. I just cant enough of this fragrance today…LOVE! This is not a fresh rose but it is more passionate in nature.
venak – :
Woah, soap in a bottle! Will be used as an after-shower spray and to freshen up my sheets ;p
Extremely clean scent.
Wamacko – :
I purchased this at a very reasonable cost at T.J. Maxx I am learning that I need to run away from perfumes that others describe as powdery as that element just does not work well for me. This does seem like powder in a bottle to me. It dries down to a very pleasant floral skin scent after a short while, but the initial fragrance is unpleasant to me. Will be passing this one on.
ТРАЛЛИК – :
Very freesia & lily of the valley blend.
It begins quite splashy bright for seconds then turns to a sweet soapy floral blend full of lily, freesia, apricots, and heliotrope, jasmines, cedar, sandalwood, and roses are there but appears later.
Fair
vcom77 – :
Pretty nice and powdery scent. Meaning that at least decent powdery parfume usually cost much more. But even being so cheap, the longevity is awfully too poor. I even tried on mother’s and sister’s skin, clothing, indeed still same. So poor longevity for a really good scent, sad..
megajack013 – :
Had this when it first came out; I was in high school and liked it for a while. Now, I don’t care for it. It’s very powdery and all I smell is that along with strong notes of rose and iris. Definitely could be a hit if you like the smell of roses or are a lover of sharp floral notes.
Leon-WIT – :
Love love love.
Perfect after bath or shower, especially before bed.
Fresh, clean, soft and slightly powdery, with a hint of sweetness and floral.
Timeless.
Rainpick – :
I’ve gone through two bottles of this and I’m starting to miss having it in my collection
Sillage is quiet poor but being so cheap l will probably end up buying this again.
lybko777 – :
Beautiful, but very subtle, so subtle that it is too delicate for me. I would call it first love just for a while then no love and an innocent, floral, I do not feel sweetness.
honey78-78 – :
Love this one it’s very clean chic and fresh , classic but not old school , smells like French soap and a little bit like Balmain ivoire. I put it on 4 hours ago and can still smell it now .A great blind buy for me !
peacedeath – :
Pleasant, gentle and ladylike fragrance, but very, very weak. After the first few minutes it’s basically a skin scent. I don’t think it would be possible to overspray this if you tried. Not enough projection for it to be ‘true love’.
Marina1949 – :
I had True Love, and loved it, it smells very good on my skin, and I will proably buy a new bottle as soon as possible =))
sasha2180 – :
I have a Parfum miniature of this and wasn’t particularly enamoured with it. However, today I was drawn to it. Once on my wrists and allowed to settle, I loved it.
Powdery, comforting rose centred scent. It’s stayed with me all day, quietly and reassuringly, while resting on a Sunday.
I shan’t be giving this one up and may invest in an EDT. Classic but comforting is how I would categorise it.
vovchik35rus – :
Review is based on the perfume concentration.
I find True Love to be a soft, slightly powdery, fruity floral. Not so much dated as classic. Feminine and pretty. I wear it when I want to dress in pastels and feel ladylike. It makes me think of garden parties, tea houses, and Easter brunch.
Like most perfume/parfum/extraits, it’s long lasting but wears very close to the skin.
казань2011 – :
I owned This perfume in my early 20’s and I think its one of those scents that you either love or hate.
Most people complimented me on this scent, describing it as “fresh” while the rare few considered it to be an “old lady smell”
It’s very sweet but not imaturely so. It’s nothing like the typical celebrity scents that smell like a shampoo or drink
This scent has a class and freshness about it.
hens1973 – :
This perfume smells really, really lovely. It is so flowery, but in a soft way, and super feminine…. but the quality stinks. I bought the perfume just to be fairly sure, that the scent would last longer then the eau de toilette version, but even as a pure perfume it only lasts around five minutes on me! Not even a trace of the scent is left on my skin after ten minutes. It is just gone 🙁
1manuz – :
Many many years ago I got a miniature parfum with two rings on the cap in a sale and it was lovely, strong yet soft and sweet. Then I tried to revisit and bought the tall oblong version which no longer carries the Arden name. It was pointless and insipid with no depth. Sad.
sergey_sport – :
So dissapointing that this doesn’t last very long or project on the skin.
rozgonoleg – :
What a strange and charming fragrance… at first I absolutely despised it – so sweet! Unusual, powdery and very much like a musky baby powder. Heads for rose territory very quickly and becomes quite beautiful … sort of.
Not so fruity, mostly floral. Unusual.
maksim xxx – :
I am now smelling womans face powder and roses in the dry down. Really lovely….comforting ….yup we are going to be good friends.
xtr089Bessinepome – :
First blast….weird overwhelming can’t identify scent….dry down…bitter green with a sweet heart. I think this one is growing on me. I love bittersweet fragrances but sometimes they take awhile to get to understand and appreciate. I will either LOVE or hate this one but as i said i am leaning toward love at the moment
slka – :
I had this once but I passed it on to somebody, as I found it a little too subtle and not longlasting enough, allthough I loved the scent. Lately I’ve been thinking about getting a bottle again, I would like to have something as soft, rosy and powdery, which I currently don’t.
djvnes – :
Tried this recently as I really wanted to like it because of it’s price and reviews claiming it was very floral.
Decided not for me, sensed no floral notes in particular, just actually smelt quite cheap. love the frosted bottle however. Just not the feminine floral fragrance I was hoping for.
приправа – :
To me this perfume is the lighter / daytime version of Anna Sui’s first perfume that came out after this in 1999.
auranew – :
Fresh and romantic, floral, tender…. ideal to take in the bag for any time of the day that you need to cheer up.
fietalgeveKit – :
Soft roses and powder, yes! Soft, rosy, cosy, floral, sheer, ethereal, gorgeous.
Scent: 9/10
Longevity: 8/10
Sillage: Perfectly moderate (though, God help you if you over-apply).
I often wear this alone; my husband ADORES this one as well. But True Love also layers beautifully; I love to add this to Giorgio Beverly Hills’ BLUE and the result is absolute perfection (on my skin, at least).
Seeing those of you who experience True Love not being very long lasting, it is possible that you’re simply becoming anosmic. Frequently, when I can no longer detect my fragrance, my husband can. Therefore, you may be experiencing some level of olfactory fatigue resulting in temporary anosmia to the scent.
evn935intitytek – :
I bought this perfume heavily discounted during an online sale, and despite the price I regret the purchase. My first spray was (accidentally!) on the sleeve of my shirt, and it smelt like hair spray. I was a bit worried at this point, because it smelt strongly of chemicals, but I sprayed again (on my skin this time).
Second spray was better, but I still can’t pick up on any sandalwood or amber. The scent is very soapy/powdery and floral, like the smell of a Dove spray deodorant (as mentioned by quite a few other members). However, I’ve noticed that if you’re spraying on clothes (I tested this a few more times) it smells exactly like hairspray. This may be worth layering with a different scent, maybe something sweeter?
senanmer – :
Just Nivea body Spray and Dove soap, clean and fresh! Nothing to do with a perfume…this is much more like a body lotion, a bedtime scent! Nothing really special!
successful – :
True Love by Elizabeth Arden smells like a mother’s affection for her child, if it had a scent. Innocent and pure. Unconditional even. My nose registers mainly both soapy and powdery—childlike and feminine, respectively. Which means it’s okay to smell this on a mature woman, or a younger lass.
Dockessegenueopc – :
The opening is a tiny bit sharp, but quickly dries down to a soft powdery floral scent. I can’t really pick out any specific notes, but overall it’s a pleasant slightly soapy, slightly powdery scent. Whenever I wear it, it has a very cozy and calming effect. Wearing True love is like wrapping myself in a soft cashmere blanket and curling up on the sofa.
critnesunsemi – :
Very powdery rose floral, like others have stated. Very cozy and comforting. If you wore a perfume to bed, (I do not) this would be a candidate. Something in it kind of reminds me of sweet honesty the avon perfume. This is quite lovely. I can see how this would be a good cold weather perfume.
jivoy3232 – :
It’s a light transparent fruity floral with a strange or rather unique drop off into soft powdery background. It’s like a synthetic raspberry scent was only allowed to mix with soft flowers up to the point where it might start becoming tart but before it can, it gets yanked back and subdued. Not bad for the cheap price but feels like everything is blended together and becomes indistinct. I have the edt not sure if the Edp is better or what
archi – :
True Love. Love Love the bottle and cap. Testing a vintage mini. To me this is peachy rose. I know this scent was very popular and to me it is a powdery floral. I would say it is a linear fragrance, decent. Dry down is quite soft and I appreciate that. This is not a nuclear juice and that is a good thing also.
kopri-60 – :
So, my eighteen year old just totally stole this from me and used it all! She says all of her friends and teachers compliment her on how wonderful she smells. This sprays out as a sharp floral bouquet but quickly morphes into a soft powder. Pretty is it’s best description .
Dzhovitabub – :
True Love is a nice powdery floral. When I first spray it on, there is quite a bit of sillage. My father told me I smelled like soap, and there is a clean soapy quality to True Love. The sillage evaporates pretty quickly, however, and it becomes more of a skin scent that reminds me of freshly washed baby skin. Quiet and ethereal, like true love itself.
iandreeva – :
It`s a great budget perfume for any occasion! I bought a bottle for my Mum and Aunt but I ended up liking it myself -Im in my 30s – and thinking to get a bottle for my collection too. It`s sparkly flowery peach on me with a hint of rose and a dash of powder, not cloying or heavy at all, very feminine and defo a 90s scent, but you stil get away with it not like a lot of the spicy or too ambery ones from those days. Ladies over 40 will defo like it though, or anyone who`s not a fan of citrusy or too heavy overpowering scents. Totally worth trying.
EDIT: I saw some users referring to the scent as `vintage soap` – if it is true, you must think of one of the luxury soaps of the best kind from your childhood, like red Camay, or something similar: it made you feel clean, smell pretty and feminine, somehow luxurious, well the scent could be moving along the lines of that, but it is more fluid than just a plain soap scent. But dusting powder? No, definitely no. But most of all it is clean, comforting, feminine and peachy-rosy.
stervetta – :
The perfume of Elizabeth Arden True love is loved in my collection of perfumes. It is very tender smell of real roses and smell of the ladies face powder .It is very warm, very elegant, very tender, very ladies (lady, who really look after herself ) perfume. That perfume would be nice to wear to the job or for everyday , nice after the bath too . The long lasting around 2 – 4 hours and the Sillage is moderate . It is very lovely , romantic and tender perfume , which you want to breath the smell all the time with closed the eyes . You can’t go wrong with that perfume too
snake161 – :
I don’t know why they call “Oriental Floral” fragrance if the top notes are so fruity: apricot and peach are so pungent! Then the floral part is too much sweet for me. I bought by internet hoping scents was more oriental like sandalwood, amber and cedar but you barely can perceive them. Something in this fragrance make me nauseate, sorry.
evgenius – :
A real treasure in love. Peachy roses, sweet and delicious, a little bit of powder with a little bit of a woody, musky dry down. It has a lotion feel to it that’s very light. Very inexpensive, but doesn’t smell that way. I’m not fond of the bottle though, but for the price and the juice, so what? Perfect ordinary day perfume for romantics in spring and summer. Decent sillage for a little while, then it becomes more of a skin scent, but longevity isn’t great. For the price, it’s easy to freshen it up during the day. Very clean smelling like you’ve taken a shower using a bar of pink/rosa Dove, so I can’t imagine this could bother anyone. If they are bothered, they’re only looking for and trying too hard to be offended by something, in which case, you tell them you’re offended that they are offended, lol
pirat1990 – :
Is it me or TL really smells like Red Jeans by Versace in its very opening?
I like RJ, but I wouldn’t like to have two full bottles of it, haha
It’s only the first 5 seconds. After it settles down, it becomes softer, slightly powdery, airy, close to skin, a safe smell. Not sharp. Not extremely flowery. Not a dated or old-lady-like perfume.
Excellent for warm days, to feel your skin perfumed without offending anyone.
Edit: oh, well…both TL and RJ were launched in 1994 and have almost the same notes…
TL whispers whereas RJ screams..
Hmmmm…my nose is still working well…
🙂
Shadow_zar – :
I mainly bought this for the bottle. I know. Sad. I figured at £10 for such a huge bottle, I couldn’t go wrong. For some reason I really like the design of the bottle and it feels good to hold and spray. The smell isn’t earth shattering but it’s a nice safe smell. Straight up Johnson and Johnson baby lotion or baby wipes smelling. I really like it. Reminds me of the baby days of my not so little ones now. I wear it around the house and my hubby always asks if I’ve just come out of the shower…. 🙂
Толмач – :
I’ve been picking up little classic cheap but goodies since being inspired by the bargain frag series. I’ve also picked up a few good guys…but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by many of the cheapies that I’ve purchased as well. That being said, I picked up a 3.4 EDT of True Love from a local TJ Maxx. Priced at $10, I figured I couldn’t go too horribly wrong…and I didn’t.
True Love is certainly far from the worst, but it’s not the best either. It is a very, very, very, very, very, very—did I say very? Very soft skin scent.
Honestly I intend to use it as a body spray akin to something from Bath & Body Works or VS. Something to splash on during the height of the summer when I’ve gotten tired of the usual citrus summer splashes. The prices and the softness of the frag allows one to spray with abandon without the fear of causing the equivalent of olfactory napalm for others. You can’t even pick up a BBW spray for less unless there’s a sale going! The smell is high end just light— It’s more musk, heliotrope, and aquatics than rose in my opinion—very soft and sweet, but not cloying. As I said, I plan to wear it on hot days like a body spray. It would however also be great for young girls as a first perfume because the smell is “pretty” and though young people often tend to spray too much, you really can’t with this one.
Don’t knock it, if you can find the big bottle for $10 or less, snap it up. In one’s fragrance wardrobe, it is the equivalent of a basic white tank during the summer—-nothing flashy, but still a necessary element.
sergey2597 – :
Having discovered a soft spot for Ms Grojsman’s creations, I revisited True Love to see if i could find more to appreciate than I did before my interest in personal fragrance really kicked in.
I won’t use the term ‘underwhelming’ because I don’t believe for a second this demure lady was created to be ‘overwhelming’ or attention seeking. If it was created to emulate true, romantic love from a feminine perspective, then it probably has: quiet, soft, gentle, pretty, private, close.
The first phases remind me much of sweets we have here called Fruit Tingles, fizzy and fruity. For me, the first few hours of True Love reminds me of eating a Fruit Tingle instead of lunch because you’re stuck in a meeting with nothing else. It’s floral, it’s powder, it’s sweet but there’s something that stops you from wanting more.
The dry-down though, is delicious. All soft and pretty, privately romantic. For me, this is where True Love’s beauty shines.
Incredibly inexpensive (like US$8 for 3.3floz) women and girls here can be rewarded thoroughly with a beautiful scent for much better value than supermarket body sprays or fragrances with plenty of fan-fare but little staying power for ten-times the price.
Too little sillage and too long to wait for the dry-down reward for me but more true to true love and romance than explosive, in-you-face fairy-floss.
True to true love and true to itself.
Longevity: Moderate
Sillage: Soft
гермес – :
One more thing. I forgot to mention that the heliotrope note which unfolds within the powdery floral notes in the heart of this beautiful bouquet is AMAZING. I am thankful for my generous 3.3 oz EDT that I scooped up at a TJ Maxx for $9.99, because I will keep this as a permanent part of my fragrance wardrobe once again! I don’t understand why it’s so low in cost compared to 20 years ago, but I am thrilled that I found it for a steal!
This one would be appropriate for teens on to very mature ladies. I would call it more romantic than sophisticated and businesslike, so I won’t wear it with a power suit or board meeting.

Oh, what a stroll down memory lane for me when I discovered this at a superb price yesterday! I first wore this as a young bride and then a mother of one, and then two, 19-16 years ago. Back then, I could only afford the smallest EDT spray from the department store at the mall, and that I had scrimped and saved for. As a dedicated fan of lily of the valley, I loved Jessica McClintock for the LOTV notes. I was skeptical that True Love’s pink juice could really have more than roses to offer, but OH, was I shocked then, and am pleasanty remembering the LOTV in it now. WHERE has this been for the last 16 years that I’ve lived without True Love (the perfume, I mean)?
The first blast is like a powdered sugar covered rose from our wedding cake. Real roses, sweet sugar, softness and beauty. Then the lovely note of LOTV emerges, wrapped in a jasmine and vanilla note, with just the slightest touch of juicy, sweet, ripe tree fruits to round this out. I feel like True Love rides the fine line between chypre and gourmand so beautifully!
I don’t understand the “synthetic” references in other reviews. The scent notes and layers do not seem synthetic or “cheap” at all to me, though I am very picky to notice this usually. Perhaps my formulation is somehow different? If there ever was a fragrance that could take Dior’s Diorissimo, which is my signature fragrance, and dip the LOTV sprigs in sweet sugared honey, removing all bitterness, and adding to the bouquet fruity, vanilla misted, shy pink tea roses, with a gorgeous powdery base, you’ve found True Love. Jessica McClintock, which is what I wore on my wedding day, has a bitter, sharp note with the LOTV. This is sweet LOTV, soft, powdery, ladylike LOTV. If you love Diorissimo, don’t miss this bargain for those days when you are feeling like trying something different!
Also, those who liked the idea of, or loved an old version of, Anais Anais by Cacharel as I did in high school before it turned “funny” on my skin/changed formulation, run, don’t walk, and buy a bottle of True Love today. I would have thrown my Anais Anais in the trash back in 1987-1990 when I wore it if I had True Love as a richer, more refined, gorgeous cousin!
крот – :
I bought this almost 20 years ago at the airport. I thought at that time it was nice & beautiful, but when I got into elevator wearing this, my colague told me that I was smelling like old lady. I was so shocked & since then I haven’t wore it. I don’t really remember the scent, but do the bad memory…
vuo009JeomiWogkig – :
A sweet “nice” clean scent – like Ponds face cream! Its’ reasonably priced in my country but certainly not a “I gotta buy this perfume” I think its because I am a woman in my thirties and this fragrances screams too young to me. Just perfect for my sweet little sister – and she is more interested in Britney Spears “Curious.” It’s cute and fresh, just a good frag akin to Coty’s “Vanilla Fields” you know, every girl wears these at some point. Wish that rose could bang more in my nostrils with some musk or pink pepper. But what am I saying, if it has that it would be a different perfume. Good for the office, school or when you are around small children who don’t need to smell strong scents. A good spring day scent!
vovik369 – :
Normally, a Grojsman nose behind a frag is a definite winner for me. Not so with this one.
I only have this in my collection because it was listed here as an Oriental Floral. It was $6.00 USD at a retailer I frequent and I read the notes and thought, “Wow, that sounds good.”
It isn’t.
This smells like baby powder. Maybe high-end boutique baby powder, but there is something in this that reminds me of calamine lotion and camphor-almost medicinal. Maybe diaper cream? That’s what it brings to mind when I wear it (which I rarely do because who wants to smell like diaper cream?)
On my skin, which I classify as ‘warm’ (meaning that most fragrances radiate well from my skin and tend to hang around and develop through their layers nicely) True Love just sits. It’s not heavy but it just sits there, annoying and cloying and stifling. It’s not warm or cozy. There are no roses or jasmine. The amber (which my skin LOVES) doesn’t ever come forward. I just have POWDER to the nth degree.
The next time you’re changing a diaper and you open that brand new clean diaper up to put on the baby, notice the scent. That’s what True Love is on me…and that should explain why I consider this one of the few “stinkers” in my extensive collection.
lav153Unlogrere – :
Such a cute, powdery perfume!
Light, happy, airy, and innocent scent to sniff, to be honest.
It starts with soft fruity (and a bit creamy too) scent before it blooms to a powdery bouquet that is really pleasing to wear. So easy to like, this perfume is 🙂
Wore this on a first date in the park and it worked like a charm. True Love is something that you would like to wear to leave that “innocent”, “cute” impression.
True Love has moderate sillage and lasts considerably for about 5 hours outdoor (both skin and fabric) before you have to re-apply.
Арвин – :
Yes,it has made me itch too each time i’ve given this a try.
There was some type of sample that broke in my suitcase during a trip and made everything smell amazing. I had several and tried to piece up the broken pieces and all i could come up was this as a possibility with what letters i could gather. Well,True Love was not it.
Its very soapy,powdery and musky. Something in it that i don’t like that reminds me of other peoples old sweat in the gym locker room. Whatever that note is i find in Halloween Fever which is a like for me. Really trying to figure that out.
I never got any pleasant rose scent as the powder was too much for me to detect anything else. The apricot top note was the only thing i thought was descent. Gave this away as soon as possible.
korol-98 – :
Smell is nice, soft and seems to be unoffending. At the same time it starts iching if sprayed straight on the skin. I like it, but for me it is allergic.
berkut44445 – :
This is a delicate, light fragrance. It has a soapy, very clean feeling to it that borders on fresh without actually entering it. I personally quite like clean, gentle scents that suggest a cool breeze, a nice permanent ‘spring’ feeling (no matter the season) and a sweetness, without it being too much.
This smell is evocative to me, as it takes me back to a few years ago when I was spending time with a much older man who had a colourful history shall we say, but with whom I shared a rare and meaningful friendship that I still look back on fondly and can fall back into with a smile. It didn’t last forever because of circumstances, but it’s memory can live in my heart… funny, that the name of this fragrance is what it is, that which I wore during those rainy autumn days and nights, making out for hours and hours or drinking beers on the stoop at 2am watching the rain as it spoke in a thousand voices. Him all leather, danger and smoke, and me… pale skin, innocence and True Love.
Reznik – :
It must be me..everyone got floral notes from True love and all I’m getting are very ripe pears. SWEET AND JUICY slightly spiced pears thats been pouched and honeyed. No floral whats so ever. Its a yummy scent its just threw me off thats all. I was looking for soft romantic florals. Will stash this in my gourmand section.
Akan – :
Have a real soft-spot for this EA.. I know it’s cheap (or should I say “inexpensive”..) but it smells like it costs much more..and like marshmallow roses (if you get what I mean)..Pretty & lovely
_ALEJaNDRO_ – :
Cheap, very boring scent, i use for room freshener…
Danger82 – :
Very fitting name and scent for a wedding. The package is simple, and I like it but it isn’t enough to draw longing crowds in…which also is just fine with me. I’ll be wearing this quite a bit. This is a familiar smell to me, as if it were worn around me more than just a couple times during SOME period in my life. When I pulled the bottle out of the package, first thought was “What a PLAIN bottle…cheap” and then I studied it a few moments and thought “This doesn’t NEED anything more, it’s simple and elegant”.
I have no gripes about this in any way.
I feel you can wear this any season but might want to go easy when spraying during the hottest of days. Still, I’m not sure about that even. I’ll have to try this during mid summer. I think it’s the iris that makes me love this in the crispy air. I do love Infusion d’Iris! Which is what made me even THINK I might like this, along with the peach…since I love Fancy Love also.
I actually CAN smell the peach, which I normally can’t. I can sniff out a good iris also. Iris first, then peach….are all I smell with this scent, even though I know there’s more to it then that.
This is a hairspray, bubble bath, shampoo type of smell. So this is clean and what I think, soapy. If clean and soapy isn’t your thing, you need to test first.
If I were to put like scents on a shelf, I would put this along side of White Linen, Fancy Love, Infusion d’Iris, Eternity etc.
I actually like Fancy Love more, but that’s just me. I can see where just as many will love this more.
I’m so glad to have found this. I love learning about, and then finding a true classic, which this IS.

‘True Love’ might not be very suitable for this perfume since I think the fitting one would be ‘innocent love’. It is truly in my opinion a soft, feminine, lovely scent. The opening notes aren’t really interesting. But when the middle notes appear, you could smell the rose and powdery scent linger for quite awhile. It’s refreshing, especially with the hint of fruity notes. The dry down is warm, nice, and stays close to the skin. I basically love the base notes for I think it’s even better than the middle ones and might be what resembles a bit of ‘true love’. Perhaps everyone from any age could wear this without being offensive at all. Perfect for daily use, especially for sunny, warm days. But if you’re looking for something to make a statement, skip this one. Like I said, it possess that ‘innocent’ feel. When you smell it, you could picture young girls in pretty floral dresses walking under sun with slightly wet hair and wide, pretty smile.
Overall, it’s worth the price. Though I don’t think there will be a second bottle for me.
