Although in all honesty, my sweet smelling stuff like that (Love Spell, Pure Seduction, really any VS Body Sprays) are going into hiatus mode for the summer. I HATE when bees and wasps hang around you if you smell like fruit or vanilla. Booo....I've not been stung yet and am petrified to be.

I love the Pure seduction it kinda has a love spell sent to it IMO and some kinda candy...

I agree with lovespell = deathspell because I had an asthma attack and my eye puffed up three times its size when my roommate spray it all over our room... when I first smelled it I thought it was a nice yummy candy smell but now after that experience, I don't even want to go to the bath & beauty section of VS. haha

Joining the Love Spell hate here, I have a few little things of it from various GWP totes that I bought and well, they have not been touched. I can't stand that sickeningly-sweet kind of floral, it's almost like it shouldn't be worn after the age of 16. Not a fan, to say the least.

OMG Love Spell was all the rage when I was in high school.

Then, when I was in college I started to work for Victoria's Secret in their beauty department...I wanted to jump out of the window. Love Spell is THE WORST garden fragrance they have, besides Pure Seduction [smells like cough syrup].

The scent of Lovespell takes me back to my junior year in hs, that was my (and most of my friends) signature scent! Now that Im grown, I've pretty much moved away from Victoria's Secret, most are too sweet smelling for my taste now, and I'll leave the candy scented fragrances to the teeny-boppers. I probably wont ever wear them again, but I'll always have a place in my heart for Lovespell (and Endless Love!)

i like love spell but i hate the pear one from vs! ugh that stuff reeks like cheap alcohol!

 

[mad dog marissa]

ewww love spell smells like strippers!

 

[acidtongue]

Ugh, there's a lady that comes into my work all the time that reeks of this and cigarettes. Not a pleasant combination at all

 

[CherryPopsicle]

I used to wear it all the time. Now whenever I smell it, I catch a whiff of throwup and I start gagging.

I love lovespell, and thats why I buy it. You buy what you like, no matter if one person or a million love it.

I completely agree. I can't stand that smell it makes me sick !~ I know a ton of people like it. There is just something in it that doesn't click with me!

I don't mind it, but it depends. And it certainly isn't my choice of fragrance. I used to hate it in high school but I really love the scented hairspray of it. I have the body scrub, spray, and lotion as well but I rarely use them b/c it's kind of a "I have to be in the mood to smell this" kind of thing. The hairspray is great, though. I think it's just the way it mixes with my own hair/body smells though.

I love it...It smells like apple juice

 

[Simply Elegant]

I can't stand any of the VS perfumes. Lovespell isn't the worst but it's bad enough.

 

[MakeupMuffin]

I work at VS and this is the worst fragrance. It does smell like strippers. Cigarettes and alcohol. But it is the best seller. We sell tons of it.

 

[impassioned]

I loved it at first, that I bought the spray, the lotion, etc. But you're right, after a while, it gets SO sickening. It's really overwhelming.

 

[burnitdown_x]

Try smelling it after every gym class in the girl's locker room. Yum, sweat + love spell in a poorly ventilated room.

 

[keirii]

Haha! This thread cracked me up.. yeah, smells pretty bad. I had it in lotion once in middle school.
