Discovering the Love fragrance
Love by Forster and Johnsen is a cozy, dreamy women's fragrance released in 2010.
It belongs to the Floral and Oriental fragrance families, making it perfect for everyday wear and romantic dates.
The eau de parfum concentration provides a moderate sillage, leaving a light yet noticeable presence.
Character and mood
Imagine a delicate apple orchard warmed by the morning sun, with touches of sweet nectarine and tart kumquat. At its heart are spicy cinnamon and sensual jasmine, framed by freesia.
In the base, warm amber, resinous sandalwood, and velvety musk. This is a fragrance for those who want to add a touch of magic and the Orient to their lives.
By the way, if this style appeals to you, take a look at similar fragrances: Vivienne Westwood Let It Rock, Novaya Zarya Light Breeze Mirage, and Caswell Massey Verbena.
How the fragrance unfolds on the skin
At the opening, Love sparkles with the citrus freshness of bergamot and vibrant kumquat, softened by the floral powderiness of apple blossom and juicy nectarine.
Then, at the heart of the composition, a bouquet of jasmine, cinnamon, and freesia blooms—these are the notes that create that distinctive “Oriental” mystery.
The trail lingers with warm sandalwood, amber, patchouli, Peruvian balsam, and slightly sweet musk. The development is multi-layered yet very harmonious.
Forster and Johnsen is a young American house whose story began in 2010. Its founders, veterans of the perfume industry, brought their passion for unusual combinations to Love.
