Expect 4 to 5 hours of total wear on skin before Love Me More fades into a subtle skin scent. Projection stays within an arm's length for the first hour, creating a soft 2-foot scent bubble before pulling closer. It performs best in cool autumn and winter air, as heat can cause the sweet pastry accord to feel heavy.

EDITORIAL“Victoria's Secret Love Me More Review: Caramelized Sugar and Citrus”
Victoria's Secret Love Me More greets your nose with a surprisingly sharp burst of grapefruit. Rather than a synthetic berry or vague floral mix, the opening delivers authentic citrus bitterness dusted with sugar. This initial spray feels bright, zesty, and energetic on skin. It cuts through cold air immediately, offering a refreshing pop that sets an inviting tone.
As the citrus intensity simmers down after fifteen minutes, the fragrance shifts into its sweet heart. The exclusive French canelé accord emerges, bringing forward notes of caramelized sugar, warm pastry crust, and rich vanilla custard. This gourmand transition feels smooth and comforting, morphing the sharp citrus opening into a cozy bakery scent that hugs close to skin.
On warm skin, the sweet and vanilla accords dominate the mid-phase while avoiding heavy, cloying weight. The French canelé note releases a delicious aroma of toasted sugar and light pastry dough. Meanwhile, the golden amber base gradually rises to wrap around the sweet notes, softening the composition with a powdery warmth. On certain skin chemistries, a faint clean musk aspect appears alongside the amber, keeping the dry-down soft, cozy, and comforting.
Performance stays moderate and controlled across typical cool-weather wear tests. You will get roughly four to six hours of longevity on skin, though the scent lingers pleasantly on knit sweaters into the next morning. Projection remains intimate to moderate, casting a gentle two-foot scent bubble during the first hour before settling into a soft skin scent. This controlled footprint makes it ideal for crisp fall mornings, casual coffee dates, or cozy evenings indoors during winter.
This fragrance suits gourmand lovers and casual perfume fans who appreciate sweet scents with a twist. If you enjoy vanilla-based compositions but want a touch of citrus brightness to keep things lively, Love Me More hits the spot. It leans feminine and youthful, yet the grounded amber base gives it enough substance for everyday wear by anyone who enjoys cozy pastry notes.
Overall, Love Me More delivers a charming blend of grapefruit, French canelé, and warm amber. While it lacks the massive projection and longevity of heavy winter niche perfumes, its comforting character and pleasant dry-down make it a delightful pick for gourmand enthusiasts. If you can find a bottle, it serves as a wonderful casual scent for cool sweater weather.
