Love is On by Revlon

n today’s review, I have another ladies’ perfume from my batch of sample fragrances. This time, it is a fragrance from Revlon called: Love is On EDT. This scent was released back in 2015 and generally didn’t get much notice. In fact, I’m pretty certain it has been discontinued. However, it is still available out there on the secondary market. Is it actually any good though? How does it smell? How does it perform?

My Full Review

The opening of Love is On is led by the citrus ingredients (lemon and orange) and a tart note, which is cranberry. The cranberry note reminds me a lot of Polo Red for Men, but it is nicely paired with the lemon note here.

It is light and sweet, with that added sugarcane note, adding a candy-like sweetness.

Then, the fragrance moves into a smoother and drier phase. The cocoa bean note is somewhat creamy and furthers the sweetness. There is a bit of vetiver that lurks in the background also. It’s such a pleasant mix of sweet, citrus, and tart cranberry.

Very attractive and delicious smelling. The sugarcane and cocoa bean almost present themselves as vanilla in this mix, that’s just the way it smells.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Now, here’s the issue with Revlon’s Love is On, it doesn’t last. It’s a light fragrance from the start. It was even light when I liberally applied the sample to both my skin and on an old t-shirt.

So, even though the sillage is very light, it could’ve still lasted a long time at least? It doesn’t. A couple of hours at the most, even when pouring it on the skin. Shame.

Seasonally, this could’ve worked in a lot of situations if it had better performance. It has the citrus notes which work in warm weather and the more creamy/sugary notes that can be nice in winter.

It has such a nice smell that could have of course been used for romantic wear, as the name suggests, but also casually or just to freshen up.

Overall Impressions of Love is On

Overall, though, this one just never realizes its potential. I like the notes and how they’re arranged within the composition a lot. The play between the lemon and cranberry at the top, is quite good, and then the cocoa bean in the dry down, makes for a sweet scent.

It just doesn’t perform well at all. On my skin, it’s weak and reading reviews of this scent, I’m not the only one who experienced this.

I mean, as of writing it is only $12.50 on Amazon, so if you want to try it out…it won’t break the bank. However, I can’t really recommend this Revlon perfume.
