Lovestruck

Lovestruck by Vera Wang, released in 2011 and composed by Stephen Nilsen, is a green floral with a fruity opening. Everyone describes it as green and floral, and about half also find it fruity-sweet, woody, musky or citrusy, which gives a sense of how many directions it points in at once.

Guava and mandarin orange open it with a tropical, juicy sweetness, while angelica, a herbal note with a slightly bitter, celery-like greenness, cuts through from the start. Angelica carries on into the heart, where tuberose brings a creamy, heady white-floral character and lotus adds a cool, watery softness. The base is quiet: soft woods and musk that let the flowers fade gently rather than shifting the scent anywhere new.

Most wearers report moderate to weak longevity and an intimate projection, so this is a personal scent rather than one that fills a room. It is voted for spring and summer and mostly for daytime. It suits someone who likes florals with a green, slightly unusual edge for everyday wear.
