I Wanna Be Loved By You
Fragrance notes
Character
A cocktail of wild berries, chilled sake, and plum skin opens this one with a fizzy, almost mischievous sweetness. It’s a flirtatious first impression, but the heart quickly turns warm and resinous with amber and a jammy rose, with a crisp apple note keeping things from getting too syrupy. The base settles into a surprisingly restrained blend of oud, osmanthus, and vetiver, where the leathery apricot of the osmanthus softens the wood and gives the whole thing a plush, slightly boozy glow. The overall character feels like a vintage silk slip found at a flea market, still holding the ghost of someone’s perfume and a night of champagne. It wears closer to the skin than you might expect given the oud, with moderate sillage and longevity that won’t outlast a dinner date. That’s the main weakness: it promises a bold oriental floral but delivers a more diffused, polite version. This is for someone who wants a cozy, feminine scent for cool autumn evenings or winter nights, not for those craving a smokey, aggressive oud. Skip it if you need a daytime freshie or a room-filling statement. Wear it when you’re staying in with a cashmere throw and a glass of something dark.
