Love Me More
Crafted for cold weather wear and evening outings, Love Me More is tailored for fragrance lovers seeking a bold alternative to standard gourmands. It layers heavy leather and warm saffron over a comforting base of black vanilla husk and baked biscuit. Built to cut through frigid air, it delivers strong sillage when paired with leather jackets or heavy winter coats. Wearers who appreciate strong projection and non-traditional vanilla scents will value its long lasting performance, while those preferring light office florals should approach with caution due to its dense, animalic presence.

On skin, Love Me More pushes strongly for three hours with a two-foot projection radius before relaxing into an intimate bubble. Expect eight to ten hours of total wear, with the black vanilla husk lingering on wool coats until the next morning. It performs best in sub-zero winter temperatures or crisp October nights, though oily skin tends to amplify the sharp metallic saffron note during early hours.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Love Me More opens with a dry, aggressive slap of raw black leather and metallic saffron before settling into a warm, powdery heart. The texture transitions from sharp and animalic to dense, crumbly biscuit coated in black vanilla husk. I find the herbal thyme accent in the opening slightly jarring alongside the sweet bakery notes, but as white musk absorbs the edges, it settles into a cozy yet dark skin scent.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe dominant leather accord leads with a heavy, smoky weight that dominates the first thirty minutes before yielding to sweet vanilla. Warm spicy saffron and aromatic thyme fight for attention in the background, keeping the gourmand elements from turning overly sugary. While many reviewers praise smooth vanilla dry-downs, the persistent metallic and animalic streak here keeps this fragrance feeling intentionally prickly rather than pure comfort food.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Votre Parfum Love Me More Review: Leather and Warm Biscuit”
Love Me More hits the skin with an aggressive burst of raw black leather and metallic saffron. It does not ease you in gently. Herbal thyme pops early, adding an aromatic, savory edge that keeps the initial spray from smelling sweet. For the first fifteen minutes, the opening smells dark, dry, and slightly sharp, projecting several feet into the room with unapologetic strength. It demands your attention right from the first spray.
As the harsh opening simmers down, the heart shifts toward dense gourmand territory. Baked biscuit and black vanilla husk emerge to soften the tough leather exterior. The contrast works surprisingly well on cold skin. Vanilla warms the spices, while powdery notes diffuse the edges into a thick, velvety blanket that hugs the skin tightly through the third hour of wear.
During the late dry-down, white musk and animalic undertones fuse with the remaining vanilla husk. The leather never fully disappears, but it settles into a smoky background hum. I find the biscuit note slightly too heavy when worn indoors, though crisp autumn winds balance its dense sweetness nicely. The powdery finish prevents the base from turning into sticky kitchen syrup as the hours pass.
Performance is where this fragrance makes its case. Expect eight to ten hours of continuous longevity on skin, while two sprays on a wool coat collar will linger for days. Projection remains strong for three hours before pulling back to a personal bubble. This is strictly a cold-weather scent, built for sub-zero winter nights, leather jacket weather, and late evening outings where lighter fragrances get lost.
This release targets wearers who want dark gourmands rather than bright florals or clean office musks. It demands a confident wearer and a cool climate to shine properly. Beginners looking for a simple vanilla might find the animalic leather and saffron combination too challenging for everyday use. Enthusiasts who appreciate complex contrasts between smoky hide and sweet baked goods will find plenty of character here.
Love Me More delivers a memorable blend of dark leather and baked vanilla warmth. Its bold opening and heavy sillage make it a polarizing choice, so sampling first is essential before buying a full bottle. For winter nights and moody fall evenings, it stands out as a strong option for anyone bored of generic sweet designer perfumes.
