by Chopard
Love Chopard is a dense, opulent rose fragrance that radiates a rich, warm, and decidedly oriental character. It unfolds as a bold, jammy rose with dark honeyed and gourmand depth, where multiple rose varieties – notably Taif, Bulgarian, and Damascus – create a thick, velvety bouquet. The scent immediately announces itself with a bright, spicy opening of pink pepper, cinnamon, and fresh citrus notes, amplifying its sensuality. While the gourmand base of vanilla, honey, brown sugar, and cocoa enhances the sweetness, it never becomes cloying; instead, it supports the rose's lushness with structure and depth. The drydown reveals a smooth, powdery, and subtly woody base with sandalwood and patchouli, giving it a slightly incense-like, grounding character. Scented like a romantic garden of overripe roses — lush, slightly tart, and irresistibly sexy — it has the performance and presence of a true statement perfume. It’s not subtle or faint, and it rarely fades under the skin. Instead, it commands attention with moderate to strong projection and an effect that lingers on fabric and skin. The influence of Soeur d'Amour in its composition is notable — a gourmand rose with a sophisticated backbone — and its psychological impact is far from neutral: it's a profoundly immersive, self-assured presence.
