For a 50ml bottle of this it's only $24.00 at my local TBS, so price wise it's not bad! But more often then not I have found you get what you pay for when it comes to fragrance. The lasting powder reminded me of a body mist - still subtly there but hardly noticeable. Which may be a pro for some, but I prefer a scent that does fade so much.

According to TBS website.. Notes: Top notes: pear, neroli, bergamot Middle notes: jasmine, heliotrope, lily of the valley Base notes: vanilla, sandalwood, musk cream. I was surprised I fin it very sweet and creamy and figured vanilla would be as prominent as it shows up on my skin. I think with the bottle they were aiming for simplicity but it is just rather dull. As a basic vanilla spray it is mediocre - I do have body mists that are vanilla that I actually prefer if I just need a quick splash. I would not repurchase.

I love love this perfume, I can’t wear most fragrances because I feel literally sick if the smell is very strong, so when I found a perfume I can wear without a headache I buy it. Katy Puckrik makes excellent reviews of fragrances on her YouTube Chanel. She describes them beautifully and you get an idea of what you’re going to find when you go smell the fragrances. She has a review on this foundation, so I’m going to let her convince you.

Once I heard on a review video how fantastic this was,I had to give it a try.I sprayed it on,and I instantly found a really fun, cheap scent.
Packaging:
So,it wasn't the most exciting packaging ever,and it didn't beat Lola or Daisy in the area.(Even though I kind of think the flowers get in the way.)Just a smooth square bottle,I guess.
Cost:
For perfume,it was quite cheap and I was happy about that. It kind of made my day that way!Totally inexpensive to me. (And with care of the enviornment!)
Scent:
I caught all the florally notes straightaway.It was a mix (for me) between Love Chloe by Chloe,Lola by Marc Jacobs, Princess by Vera Wang and Pink Sugar by Aquolina.So, some good quality brands are there. ^
Lasting Power:
Most of the day pratically.Which is brilliant for oily skin.All body shop products come with lasting power,I find in paticular.
Age group:
The age group who would enjoy this fragrance is 10-15 year olds.Cute,flirty and playful!
Ideal:
As a birthday gift,get the set of the lotion,shower gel and perfume.It is so cute and again,inexpensive.
Problems with the product:
The bigger bottle isn't that big,is my only issue.

It's a nice one from The Body Shop. Pretty plain smell, mostly sweet vanilla-pear with a hint of jasmine for me. Doesn't change much after application, good silage and longevity. Overall it's an inexpensive basic vanilla scent which is nice to own but a bit boring so bought the purse size- I don't think I would finish a bigger bottle.

It's a nice flowery floral scent. It's beautiful at first but the top notes quickly fade leaving a powdery, sweet floral scent - which is okay.
I would wear it in the spring with a summer dress.
I really like the packaging of the purse spray and the solid perfume but the solid perfume isn't a solid perfume AT ALL! You can smell it in the tin but when you use it, it's not very strong.
I was quite exited about using a solid perfume and it dissappointed me =( but overall, I would repurchase =)

This is a great product for a very affordable price. I´m quite picky about perfumes and I usually don´t wear but designer brands. Anyway, I was visiting TBS because I usually buy gifts from there and I ran into Love, etc. I love it! It´s a really great daily perfume with a good staying power. I´m not great at describing notes but I smell a litlle bit of vanilla and I love vanilla. The best way I can describe it: it´s a "girl next door" perfume. Accesible, sweet, even a litlle bit princessy. It´s not for you if you like more complicated scents (as I usually do) but it´s an on-the-go scent. You simply don´t have to think about it, if you´re on a rush just spray a bit and you´re done! It´s dirt cheap for a perfume and...oh well, the bottle is just cheap.But the purse size is great for long days (as I usually have) because you can easily carry it with you and reapply for a mid day treat. I´m on my third bottle (but I´m fragance obsessed) and I strongly recommend it.

Wow! This really smells good-but only in small doses. If you spray it, spray it in the air and walk into it-otherwise it will be cloying. If you like Ananya (my fave), you will like this. The bottle is clean and simple, and the quality of ingredients is very good. Lasts a looooong time too!

This perfume is like a lighter version of Armani Mania. It is quite generic and smells like a lot of the sweet slightly musky fragrances that are out there. I only purchased the small purse size spray as I was not so impressed with the smell enough to buy a big bottle.
I find it's an every day every occassion kind of scent. It smells feminine but has that musky sweet scent to it. It lasts on me for a good 2-3 hours especially if I layer it with the body lotion.
I do love the smell and it's not like all the other perfumes I own. It's a safe bet to wear but certainly doesn't have the exotic, spicy smell to it that I am used to wearing (Moroccan Rose for example which I LOVE).
I do find there is something sensual about the smell as it has a warmth to it after the dry down.

Mine is an Eau de Parfum. I really love this fragrance. On my skin, Love Etc. is very floral-oriental-vanilla. Sweet (but not sickly), floral (but not potpurri-like) and sensual but still adequate for everyday use. Sillage and longevity are quite average. I highly recomment for those who are looking for an uncomplicated feminine fragrance :)

The drydown on my skin is absolutely lovely, a warm scent of musky jasmine and vanilla. I only bought the handbag spray but i am tempted to buy the full size to put away in case its discontinued!

Okay so I got the solid version of this and I absolutely adore it. It cost me S$10 in Singapore at a sale and S$14 on shelves which is probably around US$11. It's got 13g, or 0.45oz of product in each heart-shaped tin that it comes with - small and compact to throw into your bag and so easy to apply when you need a quick whiff without having to find a space to spray your perfume and risking putting too much on. And the smell is pretty delectable as well - it's a flowery and musky scent, with hints of fruits and cream beneath it - lovely stuff. You can put as little (just rub a little on your hotspots) or you can build it up for full effect. Either way, I love this, although I'd admit this isn't my everyday scent. I wouldn't wear this before I go out - and I'd only turn to this if I need to quick pick-me-up in the office or when I can't access the bathroom. I still think it's cute though - and it makes a very pretty gift.

It smells like jasmine, musk and vanilla. I only wished this scent lasted longer though because it quickly disappears and can barely smell it on me after 2-3 hours. I wished I got more of the floral notes in this because they die down rather quickly to the musky notes.

I like its floral-fruity-musky scent, though many of my friends didn't agree with me! It has good staying power and a good day scent. The price is the only down factor.

This smells like cheap Walgreens children's bubble mix (you know, with the bubble wand for blowing bubbles?), early nineties Bonnie Bell perfume, dish soap, and scented laundry detergent.
Not awful, or even bad per se, but not good.
Certainly not $30 good.
Thankfully this was a freebie. I do not recommend this.

I don't know why I like this scent but I do, its a little floral and fruity but not over the top, on my second bottle so that says something. I always stock up on this when they have their 3 for $30 deal, can't beat that!!

First spray is nice, very flora, and a bit of musk. But after 1 min, the peppery scent came out. So not nice! It makes me feel sick, I have to wash the scent away.
I reckon try it first before you buy.

As several others have mentioned, this is not an exotic fragrance. However, it is an excellent daytime fragrance for both summer and winter. The price is reasonable; they actually spent money on the fragrance rather than on making a fancy bottle.
I have the EDP, which has quite a bit of dimension in comparison to the EDT. Strawberries, jasmine, and vanilla. Youthful without being princessy. A really well-made fruity floral.
