LoveMe The Emerald Elixir by Tous

I’m sorry, could it be that I hate patchouli? This carries it at 60% and it’s what stands out the most, what a pity!… With such a beautiful bottle.

Reading the reviews, you’d expect something dull and meh, but I loved it a treat. Yes, it’s citrus + white florals + vanilla + patchouli, but for daily autumn-wear, it’s top tier. I have the large bottle and I’m not regretting it in the slightest 🤷🏼♀️🤣; it lasts forever and projects a absolute ton. Like all perfumes, it needs to match with you. It has an elegant touch and I like it for rotation. A good option for work, the office, or uni when you’re dressed up but without pretensions. The price is right, it’s quality, and the bottle is a real treat. Ideal for a Christmas gift or a winter birthday 🎁.

I’d dare to say it’s a dupe for Diesel’s Loverdose. Very rich, it’s special, I don’t think everyone will like it, it defines a personality. It’s intense, but I love it.

An original and different perfume!! Super similar to Zara’s Oriental!! 👍

I don’t like it, too intense and piercing… Sweet orange? Sour orange! Exaggerated patchouli and it’s not accompanied by the balsamic/resinous notes but by white florals approaching a metallic/sterile vibe rather than the lovely emerald (still a stone, it’s May and symbolises spring, as well as healing, blossoming and light), less comforting, not like Chanel #19, which is how I imagined it sincerely even if only in a tiny fraction… Earthy, yellow floral, mossy, with green notes, or with some Ylang, more my joy in a well, is today’s youth dry, barren, unproductive, desolate, devastated or abandoned? because that’s what this perfume is telling me. Recently, the closest scent I’ve acquired to ‘LoveMe Emerald’ has been Paradoxe, and although it’s not a marvel from the gentleman at least it’s warm and transforms, nevertheless this green and golden bear is linear, synthetic, mass-produced and even NPC-like. I perceive it as someone I cross in the street with neither shame nor glory, lacking identity. It could have that spicy point like Twilly and it tries to, but it doesn’t succeed. 🕯️ 2.5/10.🍂

I love this scent; what I like most is that although it’s sweet, it’s not strong, and these days I’ve been suffering from migraines. It reminds me of Scandal by Paris. 🤩

I tried this today and it confirms the ‘light eyes’ theory: it’s Pure XS without the popcorn. If you wear it and claim you’re sporting the original, no one will notice the lie.

What a sin to compare Aura by Mugler with this. Yes, it sounds intense, but it’s not bad; my sister and mother love it. Listen, the notes have nothing to do with it. Are you comparing them solely because of the colour and bottle? People like that make Fragrantica unreliable. 😾

Strong opening of sour tangerine with orange, but within an hour it settles into a sweet citrus on the skin, leaving vanilla and patchouli unobtrusive. Edited 16-02-2024: it shines in autumn and winter. I liked it; it lasts 8+ hours on skin and clothes. It’s as if they’ve toned down the sweetness of Vie Est Belle. It works better on my skin; I thought I wouldn’t receive compliments, but after five hours someone told me I smelled great. I changed my mind upon smelling it, and I’m glad I bought it without testing it first.

Very sharp, acidic grapefruit opening with orange, but the intensity drops after an hour, leaving a subtle citrus and sweet skin scent; vanilla and patchouli without being intrusive. Updated 16-02-2024: it shines in autumn and winter. Lasts 8+ hours on skin and clothes. It’s like if Vida Es Bella had a bit less sugar and patchouli. On my skin, it’s brilliant; I thought I’d get no compliments, but at five hours someone told me I smelled good. I’ve changed my mind and I’m glad I bought it without testing it first.

To be clear: it’s an unashamed copy of Decadence. It reminds me of it too much, but this would be like an EDT version, softer and a touch more vanilla. The rest is identical, although the opening resembles the green of Tous. I haven’t smelled any patchouli and I’m in love. It seems to have good innovation, even the gift box is beautiful. A mature, strong and potent perfume. I want it.

The eighth version of the pear trend. That fruity tone mixes cheerfully with flowers, giving the fashionable scent: a balanced fruity and floral combination, luminous and slightly rich (rich in eating), evoking gummy syrups. It’s pleasant and pretty, but lacks its own identity. It’s a decent perfume playing with current trends. Nothing more, nothing less. Another on-trend pear brandy alongside My Way, L’Interdit, Paradoxe, and Aura by Mugler.

The first spray unleashes a patchouli monster 🧟🌿👊🏿. I don’t appreciate the other notes. I can’t stand patchouli; I only tolerate it if it’s well-hidden. Even for patchouli lovers, the accompanying notes are very basic, nothing surprising or standout.
