Another over-hyped fruity floral
I'm not feeling the love, sorry. Lovestruck to me smells flirty, fun and fruity, but not like anything I would personally associate with feeling 'struck by love'. Romance is zilch, but guava is a plenty.
I'm on a tropical beach, complete with palm trees and a beach umbrella. There are hot, half-naked, tanned men everywhere and falling in love is the last thing I want to do on my tropical holiday. Flirting however is on top of my list of things to do, and a Summer fling is a possibility. This is Lovestruck. Tropical and wild, but never serious.
I'm a young girl all over again. This fragrance is not what I'd call mature. If you seek maturity, look for Vera Wang for Women or Bouquet. This fragrance is very much along the same lines as the Princess range.
I wish this trend for crazily decorated bottle tops would go out of fashion. This bottle looks like it would topple over with a gentle push. The company states that Lovestruck is the new definition of Romeo and Juliet. Oh please, this scent is neither devastating nor passionate. Leave the Shakespearean masterpiece for something with a melancholy blend of roses and oud.
Some of my friends received this fragrance from their boyfriends for Valentine's Day this year. I say that's a sweet and thoughtful move, but I'm glad my boyfriend didn't follow in the same suit. I received a bottle of Givenchy Ysatis instead.
The issue I have with Lovestruck is its fruitiness, which is neither unique nor interesting to my nose. It smells like so many other fragrances on the market already, and that annoys me because it makes reviewing a fragrance really hard. I try to be as fair as I can, but I have to be honest when I think a fragrance smells like nothing more than your average shampoo. Jammy fruits, fresh florals and forgettable drydowns aren't, and will never be, my cup of tea.
