by Diesel
Loverdose by Diesel is a warming, sweet gourmand fragrance with a notable licorice and anise base, balanced by creamy vanilla and soft floral notes. It presents a strong initial burst of spicy, sweet licorice with mandarin and star anise, followed by a smooth, vanillic drydown with hints of jasmine, gardenia, and amber. The scent is most effective in cooler weather, with a moderate to strong sillage and longevity that ranges from moderate to long on most skin types. While the design is elegant and the perfume is frequently praised for its unique character and holiday appeal, some find it overly sweet or overwhelming, particularly those sensitive to licorice or anise notes. The experience varies significantly by individual chemistry, with some perceiving it as bold and sensual, while others find it too linear or cloying.
