Love Bird Nanette Lepore for women

Oh my,lucky me! I found a 3.4oz bottle of this at a second hand shop today for one dollar! It's almost full too. I had never smelled it before but I do have a roll on of Nanette Lepore which I am on the fence over. I was surprised how nice smelling Love Bird is. To me, it is very,very sweet and tangy. Initially I smell something herbal, like natural black licorice but that quickly fades to, what I'm guessing is,the current ( dark-sour-fruity) The carnation, rose and jasmine are very evident after about five minutes but they smell drenched in honey...maybe that's the amber. I don't get a lot of musk but that's good because I'm not a big musk fan I'm finding out. The bottle is cute...reminds me of a vintage Avon type bottle from the seventies/early eighties.

In a way it reminds me of LAMB from Gwen Stefani but I really don't care for that, this however is really sweet and pleasant!

The carnation & rose are prominent throughout. I didn't get black currant at all in the beginning. Then I was left with another floral musk. It's a nice, blended well, but just not my thing.

smells exactly like Cleopatra by Tocca...which i love..now i have 2 very similar perfumes..wish i would have known before i bought it!

This is a lovely scent - sweet and sparkling like a spring day - but it only lasted 45 minutes on me. I'm certainly glad I had received a tester bottle to try before wasting my money. I would STRONGLY urge anyone interested in this perfume to try to find a place to try it on for yourself before buying it - maybe your body chemistry will allow you to hang onto the scent longer than mine did.

Nanette Lepore Love Bird is a non-sweet fruity musk. The black currant notes really dominate, right up until the ambery musk dry-down. I pick up very little flower notes in this one.

Not especially good persistance--3 to 4 hours at most, but a very nice fragrance. I do need to comment on the quality of the bottle, which is very poor. On my first bottle, the entire spray tube came out when I removed the cap for the first time, and the two could not be separated. I returned it to the store for a new bottle, only to have the exact same thing happen again a few days later. I was unable to return that second bottle. I like the scent but I find myself not reaching for it as often, due to the defective sprayer.
