Vera Wang
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Pink guava and mandarin collide in a burst of warm citrus and stone fruit sweetness, immediately tropical and slightly gourmand-leaning. The brightness is immediate but never harsh—these fruits possess an almost creamy quality that suggests peach nectar rather than sharp citrus zest.
Lotus and tuberose bloom into prominence, and the fragrance transforms into something far more floral than its opening suggested. The tuberose lends a lush, almost creamy white floral character while lotus prevents it from becoming cloying, creating a balanced, almost soapy florality that hovers between refined and sensual.
Musk and woods emerge as the fruity opening fades entirely, leaving behind a soft, skin-scent quality with subtle woody undertones. The fragrance becomes increasingly minimal and intimate, barely projecting beyond the immediate personal space—a gentle, powdery embrace rather than a presence.
Lovestruck arrives as a gauzy, almost translucent floral—the kind that doesn't announce itself so much as gently assert its presence. Stephen Nilsen has crafted something deceptively delicate here, built on the interplay between guava's honeyed tartness and mandarin's bright citric snap, a fruity opening that feels almost edible. But this isn't a gourmand fragrance; instead, those top fruits exist solely to soften the landing before lotus and tuberose take centre stage.
The heart is where the perfume's true character emerges: tuberose brings that creamy, almost narcotic floral density whilst lotus acts as a restraining hand, keeping things ethereal rather than heady. There's a peculiar sweetness that emerges from this pairing—not sugary, but honeyed, reminiscent of gardenia-scented bath milk rather than perfumed confectionery. The woody accord lurks beneath, providing architectural support without ever becoming austere or assertive.
