What does Love & Crime smell like?

It opens with red mandarin orange and pink pepper, then softens in the heart into floral notes, star anise and sugar. Vanilla cake and cocoa dominate the base, leaving a sweet, creamy, lightly spiced gourmand impression.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards leisure, evening and night out. Though unisex, more voters read it as feminine than masculine. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Heart & Havoc and MAD Parfumeur Love Me.
