Ed Hardy Love & Luck (for women)

a bit vintage

I have sampled Love & Luck a few times now with the feeling that I would probably purchase it. What I love the most about it is that on me, it's almost a masculine scent. The spice, bergamot & patchouli really stand out for me, and I love that. Unlike some other reviewers, I find the sillage is great. But, by the end of the day I'm annoyed by the lingering scent. I dunno?! I guess there is something missing here that makes it wearable for me.

Eau de moi

With all the reviews I have done since I am a member of Fragrantica, I am amazed I haven't done one for Love and Luck yet.

First, this fragrance had put me back on the track of loving perfumes. Love and Luck is my 2009 discovery and winner.

As soon as I saw the bottle and name, I wish with all my heart to fall in love with it! And I did.

The funniest thing is now that I am seeing the notes, I am wondering how come this perfume is so soft and mellow on me! I do smell jasmine rice everytime I am inhaling from my wrist.

It's the perfect perfume for springtime and everyday summertime wear for the office (I know since we have a scent-free environment policy at mine... :-().

Who is Ed Harvy?
As I am handed a sample of his perfume 'Love & Luck'by a fragrance representative I am told it's his 2nd womens' fragrance and there is one for males. Do I like it? Yes! I think?
It's a curious blend of fruits and spices. It would fall in the range of a 'fruity gourmand'At first test it's the citrus of bergmot & blood orange.As I look up at the 'rep' with his 'you are just going to love it' look on his face ,I turn the bottle towards me. It's a cylinder glass with a cream background. On it is a tattoo of a geisha in black and red.He lifts the cream cylinder to reveal a plain glass bottle inside as if the outer is a piece of ink art wrapped around this fragrance.
Now I am beginning to get the scent of blackcurrents, red berries and pink peppercorn.It's like a summer pudding with sugar & spice!The softness to this is accentuated by the musk, sandalwood, cedar and patchouli in the basenote.Very intriguing? I look at the rep and he now has the 'I told you, you would love this!' look plastered on his face.
But who is 'Ed Harvey'? Is he a tattoist, bohemian artist in the Soho area of New York? Is he a designer of street fashion or club wear. I imagine an artist with a passion for ink and scent.
NO Ed Harvey is not a 'who' but a 'what'. He is a brand name/trade mark for Christian Audigier. Christian created this brand after obtaining the exclusive writes to Ed Harvey's designs, who is the 'Godfather' of tattoo.
Christian Audigier, a french entrepeneur,nightclub owner, fashion creator and trend setter to the stars was known as the 'King of Jeans'and the creative force behind 'Von Dutch'.
Signature caps, skateboards jewellery etc..are amongst some of his contribution to street fashion. His following in LA is enourmous with celebrities, athletes and musicians immersing themselves in his products. His products have become part of the lifestyle to stars such as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Kenye West, to name just a few.He can do no wrong.
Christian Audigier has captured the essence of 'generation Y' in this fragrance.
Creative,wild,free and youthful.

i wanted to love this because of the packaging, but unfortunately it was just too plain and generic. like many other perfumes, it starts off citrusy. then it settles down into a boring waft of jasmine and black currant. the only remotely interesting note is the patchouli, but i still feel that this perfume is too rigid and safe. it does smell nice though, just not unique or original at all.

Chatnoir

A more refined and wearable fruit scent than "Ed Hardy", but still not anything amazing. This would be fine for daily wear, especially in spring and summer. I love the bottle though- the Geisha tat art is fab.

This takes me back to my childhood, I don't know what it is exactly but this scent brings back nothing but Cheery Young Memories, Pefect for Spring and Summer. I love it, I'm really enjoying anything w/ black currant at the moment, It is very tropical and Beachy, maybe that's what I'm thinking of.. Not fresh but Girly and Citrus like.. So much better than the first scent by Ed Hardy

So delicious, I can't stop smelling myself, however if fades almost instantly. I've used half the bottle in 2 weeks! No lasting power, but so soft, feminine and smooth. I wish this lasted because I love it!

LuckysGirl

I loved the smell. Much better than the original perfume. But, there must be something wrong with my chemistry because it only lasted about 15 minutes on my skin. Oh well.

Rosierose

Casual and laidback. There is a tinge of citrus when I wore it but I got more of the musky woods and patchouli. I find the scent *relaxing*. That is a good thing.

Arishi

ohh... i love this perfume! it's subtle, but intoxicating and also not too feminine.

I love this perfume it has a subtle sexuality and is sooo fresh! Perfect for going on an evening date, too nice for daytime wear and may be too light for a night out, But definitely gets noticed by people close by and is long lasting. The gift set w/ the 100 ml bottle, lotion and purse spray an exceptional buy. Next up...original Ed hardy.

Much like all the other peppery floral woods but still nice. Citrusy, fresh and girlish. I can definitely smell the pink pepper and necatarine. All in all not bad, doesn't break the mold, but is still a nice little scent.
