Love Me More
by Victoria's Secret
Love Me More by Victoria's Secret delivers a soft, powdery gourmand scent centered around grapefruit, canelle (caramelized crème brûlée), and amber. The opening is bright and zesty with a punch of grapefruit that feels refreshingly authentic—rare for a feminine fragrance. Over time, it settles into a warm, slightly medicinal vanilla-amber base with notable depth from a lingering creme brûlée accord that persists throughout. The scent evolves linearly but pleasantly, with subtle menthol-like undertones in the drydown that add complexity and a faint association with old-school menthol cigarettes. While the overall character is clean, floral, and intimate, it feels nostalgic—evoking summer vacations and upscale retail environments. It performs well in warmer conditions and saunters gently, never overwhelming, with a suitable sillage for close encounters.
Pros
- +The grapefruit opening is crisp and authentic, standing out with bright citrus freshness.
- +The canelle accord is rich, addictive, and beautifully integrated, giving the perfume depth and a gourmand identity.

Cons

- −It may feel too linear or generic for those seeking innovation or complexity.
- −The faint medicinal menthol drydown can be off-putting to sensitive noses, making it less universally appealing.
