Love, Unfiltered is a light, sweetly woody fragrance with dominant amber and white woods that dominate from start to finish. It opens with a sharp, slightly synthetic transition of amber and fiber-like green notes, often described as reminiscent of cheap aftershave, hairspray, or a pharmacy-disinfectant scent. The initial impression can be overwhelming and unappealing to some, with an abrupt shift that many describe as a chemical or 'plastic' sharpness. However, over time, especially on cooler days, the sharper notes mellow into a softly sweet, slightly fruity amber that feels more cohesive and wearable. Some users report a noticeable improvement in the scent when it settles, noting subtle berry sweetness mixed with wood and musk. The scent is light in sillage, with moderate to intimate projection, and performs best during the day. It lacks depth and longevity, fading relatively quickly within a few hours. The bottle design is frequently praised as playful and creative, though many note the cheap feel and poor spray performance. The closest comparison is Katy Perry’s Indi, but with a more feminine, soft, beachy character rather than the unisex cedarwood tone of Indi.
