Love is Heavenly (2016)
by Victoria's Secret
Love Is Heavenly is a fresh, light, and airy fruity-floral-woody perfume that captures the essence of a warm June day. It opens with a crisp blend of blackberry, kiwi, and orange, creating a juicy, slightly tangy freshness. The heart balances freesia, orchid, peony, and water lily with a soft, pastel soul, while the base integrates ebony wood, mahogany, musk, and sandalwood for a subtly woody, warm drydown. The scent is clean and delicate, often compared to a high-quality shampoo or a gentle summer breeze. It’s perceived as very feminine and youthful, with a minimalistic, elegant profile that feels sweet without being cloying. Sillage is moderate, making it a quiet, intimate presence, perfect for daytime wear. The fragrance lingers with moderate longevity, though some users report it fades within a couple of hours on skin. Despite this, many appreciate its uplifting, romantic quality and appreciate it for daily wear or special occasions like weddings. It's most beloved during spring and summer.
