What does Love is Lost smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though winter has a fair share too. It leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. Most voters read it as feminine, with some calling it modern or classic.

A citrus accord opens on bergamot and neroli, then Indian jasmine sambac, Egyptian geranium and Bulgarian rose form a floral heart. In the base, amber, Bourbon vanilla and oakmoss sweeten it and settle it into a creamy, powdery finish, with green and fruity touches along the way. Courrèges La Fille de L'Air and Xerjoff Erba Pura have a close profile.
