Our take

A spritz of Thinking of Love opens with a bright, bubbly fizz of mandarin orange over a classic, slightly stiff rose and a sheer freesia. That citrus quickly simmers down, and the heart blooms into a powdery, soft-focus blend of Turkish rose, violet, and honeysuckle, a trio that feels more nostalgic than photorealistic. The dry down settles into a clean, musky vanilla with a whisper of iris and sandalwood, turning the whole affair into a gentle, skin-close haze.

The overall impression is like a watercolour portrait of a spring garden, all soft edges and pastel tints, with nothing sharp or challenging. It is definitely a mainstream, synthetic-sweet floral oriental, leaning powdery and light, never heavy or cloying. It feels pleasant but ultimately forgettable, a friendly nod rather than a lingering embrace.

This is a fragrance for the woman who wants a safe, inoffensive scent for a morning at the office or a casual brunch, especially in springtime when the warmth makes the florals sing. The numbers are honest: longevity and sillage are weak, so expect to reapply or keep it close. Skip it if you crave projection, depth, or any sense of intrigue. This is a gentle sigh, not a conversation starter.
