Loverdose Tattoo Eau de Toilette
by Diesel
Loverdose Tattoo Eau de Toilette by Diesel offers a sweet, powdery, and lightly floral experience with prominent citrus and green notes in the opening, evolving into a soft, tea-like base with rice and tonka bean notes. It carries a delicate blend of cassis, lemon, and mandarin, balanced with magnolia and rose, creating a smooth yet slightly heavy texture. While some find it refreshing and elegant—comparing it to Asian tea in a quiet palace—others note its resemblance to saccharine or medicinal undertones, with some describing the initial burst as akin to NyQuil or play-doh. The fragrance is best suited for daytime wear, particularly in autumn and winter, and is overwhelmingly perceived as feminine. Longevity is moderate to short, with sillage leaning toward moderate to strong, though it doesn't linger long on skin.

Cons
