Review

Vera Wang's Love Struck is a delightful fragrance with a sweet and feminine scent that is reminiscent of Parma Violet candies. It has a pink hue that may be compared to YSL Paris, but it is generally lighter and less intense. Although the notes are quite difficult to distinguish, the guava is certainly what makes it so sweet and juicy.

At first, the alcohol is strong, but in no time, Love Struck starts to evolve into something juicy with mild mandarin and sweet plump scents. Lotus is layered underneath the top note, and it tones down the sweetness, revealing a unique scent that is brightened by angelica. The sweetness in this gem is wonderful and comfortable.

On the skin, Love Struck becomes an aquatic floral scent that is very light and great for daytime wear without being too overpowering. It is a perfect feminine scent for those who want a little something but don't want to knock people off their socks. However, it may not last very long, which could be an issue for some people.

This fragrance is an excellent pick for spring and summer as the guava and lotus opening is fresh and gorgeous. As the tuberose note sets in, Love Struck becomes a super-sweet, girly floral perfume that is reminiscent of sweets. 

While it is tough to discern the fruit notes, the guava seems to be what gives this fragrance its sparkly and juicy sweetness. The watery lotus also adds a bit of elegance and lightness. The white floral heart settles into a white muskiness, with no detectable tuberose notes. After an hour, a certain bitterness develops, which is not unpleasant but green and vegetal. This gives the fragrance some much-needed depth, and it is likely the angelica that contributes to this facet.

Final Thoughts

Love Struck is an ideal fragrance for a summer wedding or as a wedding guest. Its sweet and girly nature may be too much for the office, but it pairs nicely with a floral dress. It is a comfortable and wonderful fragrance with a vintage feel that is sure to capture attention.
