Not often do I genuinely not want to finish a perfume. It's a rare occasion when I do eventually finish perfume, because I own quite a few and takes me some time to get through them. When I'm at the end of a perfume, I use it continuously to finish it, however, this perfume is an exception - I don't really want to finish it, just yet.
I remember going into Boots and smelling this. I instantly wanted it, but it came with quite a price tag. That was during January 2012, fast forward almost a year until Christmas of 2012 when I received this gorgeous perfume. Fair to say I was delighted to unwrap the paper and see Diesel Loverdose Eau De Parfum.
Surprisingly, it wasn't the packaging that I wanted the perfume for - a first! The purple, glass, heart-shaped bottle is very girly and feminine nonetheless. I keep this in the box it came in though, but if I had a makeup set up, I would most certainly keep this on display! It comes in three different sizes; 30ml, 50ml (which I have) and 75ml. The actual perfume itself? Let me begin..
Looking at the perfume bottle, you would except it to be deep, dark and quite mysterious. In fact, it's pretty much the opposite. It has notes of various fruits making it fruity, and is sweet yet not too sickly sweet. It's almost floral too.
Top notes: Mandarin, Star Anise.
Heart notes: Vanilla, Gardenia, Jasmine.
Base notes: Liquorice Liqueur, Woods, Amber.

The staying power of this perfume is incredible. I can spray it at 9am and still smell it around 6pm. I spray it twice on my neck and once on my wrists. It's meant for you to feel bold, strong and confident.
I've owned this for around 2/3 years and the smell is still as strong and beautiful as when I got it. With perfumes, they can easily loose their scent but this one hasn't, which makes me love it even more.
Why don't I want to finish it?
Simple - I just love it. It was one of my first designer perfumes, it's gorgeous and the staying power is fantastic. I would 100% recommend this and repurchase it!
Loverdose is available from all perfume stockists.
Have you tried Loverdose? If so, what do you think of it?

Thank you! It's among one of my favourites too x
DeleteThat bottle is so pretty! I can understand why you don't want to finish this!
ReplyDeleteMolly and Stacie
Isn't it just a stunning bottle? I adore it x
DeleteI used to love Diesel products, I haven't tried any in so long but this looks and sounds amazing. I may have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteYou'll know what to expect if you get this! x
DeleteI've never smelled this - now I feel like it's a must! I'm a sucker for perfume bottles too ;)
ReplyDeleteOh yes it is a must! x
DeleteMy favorite perfume is this rose scented one that I got when I went to Paris. I don't want to finish it either!
ReplyDeleteSo sad when you're almost finished a perfume you love! x
DeleteI've actually never smelled this, but I will have to see if I can check it out. I know what you mean about finishing a perfume, a lot of the time I want to finish it because I have my eye set on something else! There aren't many that I go back to because scent is so connected to memory and I almost feel like perfumes are a bit like chapters in my life. :)

If you have a Boots nearby, you'll need to pop in! I'm usually the same, I'll finish a perfume for another one but this is an exception! Some perfumes remind me of certain memories so love wearing them to remember them x
DeleteIt´s my favorite!
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße Kristina von KDSecret
Love it! x
DeleteThis is my favorite perfume, been having it for years! xx

Ah really? I feel like it doesn't get spoken about enough! x
DeleteI have a perfume that I didn't wanted to finish but I did was the Britney Spears perfume (it in big crystal w/ green liquid which is hard to fine!) but I did because after 2 yrs the perfume starts to "break down"! I have not tried this perfume but sounds like something that I would try!
ReplyDeleteUrsula aka Blueridge Beauty
I think I might know the one you're talking about. Britney Spears perfumes are lovely! I hope you do! x
DeleteThis sounds like a gorgeous perfume! I've only ever used up two perfumes & loved them both. I tried to keep hold of them for as long as possible too when they started getting low. I'm hoping my husband will repurchase one of them for me for Christmas, as it was him who bought it for me! Xx
ReplyDeleteTania | When Tania Talks
It is! Aha! x
DeleteI have not tried this specific perfume before, but I do the same thing with ones I really like. I save those extra special ones for special occasions just so they last longer. I had one several years ago, very expensive..and I loved it so much, I used it every single day and went through it wayyy too fast! I still never got a replacement bottle because that was a gift and I don't spend $80 a bottle on myself lol. Cute post!
ReplyDeletewww.HometownQueenBee.blogspot.com
Ah which one? I like keeping my Marc Jacobs Dot for special occasions! x
DeleteOooo... I love good smelling perfume! I'm going to have to find a place I can try a sample of this. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSnap! Yes, you do, Susannah! x
DeleteNow I want to try this!! My fav perfumes are rosy scents and I also love mademoiselle Coco (not rosy). I love perfumes!!!
ReplyDeleteJoanna
Mademoiselle is beautiful! I don't own it but it's gorgeous x
DeleteI have a terrible habit of keeping a few sprays so I never have to run out. Wish I could get over it!
ReplyDeleteYou should try using those sprays so they'll finish! x
DeleteIt looks fab! What a fantastic bottle!!
ReplyDelete30 Plus and Beautiful
It's a unique bottle! x
DeleteI never finish my perfumes either. I need to try this!
ReplyDeleteTrust me, you do! x
DeleteOMG how adorable is that perfume bottle though? I would definitely keep it on display once you're finished!
ReplyDeleteI know! Oh don't worry, I am! x
DeleteI've never heard of this scent before but the way you're describing it makes me want to search for it. I'm a sucker for packaging & purple is my favorite color. If I ever run across it I'll definitely check it out!
ReplyDeleteBoots and feelunique stock it! Ah woo! Hoping you find it x
DeleteThe bottle is beautiful! I would defo keep it forever. Yes, I expected it to be sultry as well but good to hear the fragrance is fruity and floral.
ReplyDeleteI am planning to! x
DeleteI love the shape of the bottle and it surely looks like it really smells good..
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous bottle x
DeleteI absolutely love trying out different perfumes. I've never smelled this one before, but now I want to. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteAha I hope you do! x
DeleteI haven't tried this because my nose is really sensitive with so many fragrances! But ever since it came out, I have adored the bottle.
ReplyDeleteMeg | A Little Twist Of…
Ah right, that's so annoying! I still adore the bottle! x
DeleteI love this bottle! It's super cute. I hate to admit this BUT my favorite scent right now is Justin Beiber by Justin Beiber. I got it as a joke and I opened it for the heck of it and I am obsessed with the scent! lol I can't even with myslef for loving it but oh well. My next in line is Miss Dior. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteI've never smelt that one, I think I need to! Miss Dior has the cutest bottle ever, and smells so girly! x
DeleteOoh this perfume smells absolutely delicious!! xxx
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it?! x
DeleteI don't think I've ever finished a full bottle of perfume in my life. Sample vials, yes. Miniature bottles, yes. But a full-size? That sounds like a lifetime accomplishment for me! I generally just wear a body splash for every day, and only put on a perfume when I'm going out, so my collection will basically last me a lifetime.
ReplyDeleteAha I'm always so proud of myself when I do complete a whole bottle of perfume! I do own a lot of body sprays but prefer perfumes! x
DeleteI rarely finish perfume too, but if I do it must have been something very dear to my heart that I will most likely repurchase.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
I'm also the same x
DeleteI takes me forever to get through a perfume! I love the shape and color of the bottle! www.littlemissfangirly.com

DeleteAdorable bottle! I've never tried this one before, I always stick to my own favourite (Pleasures by Estee Lauder), but now I've read this I really want to know what it smells like!
ReplyDeleteI want to know what the Estee Lauder one smells like! x
DeleteI can just imagine how gorgeous this smells!
ReplyDeleteHannah | Heyitshannaah

DeleteMy Dad bought this on a whim for my Mum last Christmas and my Mum and I fell in love with it too! It's so nice and the bottle looked so nice on her dressing table! x
ReplyDeleteChristina Marie - xtinagsays.blogspot.co.uk
Ah really?! I don't sit mine on display because I don't have a dressing table but I bet it looks gorgeous! It's good to know someone else knows the perfume as I feel it isn't really raved about as much as it should be! x
DeleteI love the bottle of this perfume! I've never tried any by diesel but you've made me want to try it!
ReplyDeleteMusings & More

Thanks so much! Hopefully you do get it! x
DeleteThe bottle looks gorgeous, I wouldn't want to finish it either!
ReplyDeleteI can assure you I won't be throwing the bottle out! x
DeleteThe bottle is pretty, I never would have though that to be a fruity smell by looking at it. And I feel you on the not wanting to finish it, I've had the same perfume I've been using daily for two years now, and it's almost gone. I have no idea what I'm going to do when it's done haha!
ReplyDeletewww.iamkelskels.blogspot.com
It's quite a leading perfume making you think it smells different to the design of the bottle haah! Ooh, repurchase or try something new?! x
