What does This Is Love! pour Elle smell like?

The notes aren't split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one piece: violet's powdery floral side meets creamy vanilla, with sandalwood laying a woody floor underneath. Ginger adds a light lift to the mix. A fruity undertone runs through it, and the overall impression is soft and sweet.

Longevity and sillage both rate as good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter a close second and summer well behind. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, though office and night-out use also get votes. Most voters call it feminine and modern. Hermès Twilly d'Hermès (Eau de Parfum) and Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
