Made with sugar, spice and everything nice!
Oh, let me tell you how potent this scent is. REAL potent. If you're looking for a gourmand, sweet, spicy vanilla cake that will surround you in a bubble of divine deliciousness, this is your girl right here.

At first spray, I smell this divine orange type of pastry made with vanilla and a hint of spices. It's beautiful, in the same vein as Casamorati - Lira Eau de Parfum without the lemon and powdery part. Love & Crime is more of a sugary, photorealistic cake scent. After a while, like I suspected, the spices come out strong. My skin chemistry definitely had something to do with it. Pink pepper, star anise and cocoa rise to give the scent a more spicy twist. It's a little bit bitter, earthy, and darker with that spicy sting. I definitely never smelled floral notes. The vanilla cake note finally comes out strong, batting out the spicy notes from the spotlight. They never really leave, but subside a bit to lend a spicy tone to the overall bakery scent, toning things down so it never becomes too cloying or too sickening sweet.

If you're looking for a strong vanilla cake with spices and a lovely mandarin orange scent, this is the way to go. There's no powdery aspect (which is something that appealed very much to me) and gourmands will want to add this to their collection for sure. Beware about the potency of this fragrance: do not overspray. Probably best worn during colder weather to let the scent shine through. I'll be contemplating adding a bottle to my collection.

:-):-)Gourmand Lovers Dream!!!!
Hello my fellow fragrance loving folks!!. Seasons Greetings to you.!! EX IDOLO "LOVE & CRIME" is SOOOOOOOO good!!! So good I created an account here just so I could review this and let others know how insanely immaculate this exquisite juice is.!! In my mind this is what the air in Heaven will smell like!!!! 10 out of 10!!! Do yourself a favor, do not walk but RUN, I plead with you RUN to the nearest sampling website and get your nose on this!!! IndigoPerfumery is where I got mine. $4 for 1ML in a spray, you cannot beat that with a stick!! That first initial blast, Goodness Gracious, I almost fell to my knees.!!! Seriously, This is VERY SEXY!! but then dries into a "I look like an innocent lady in the streets, and I just might be interested in a bit more..... later on..... once date night draws to a close.... if your a true gentleman and play your cards right" type vibe. I feel it has that type of energy to it. Definitely grown and sexy!!. A woman who is confident yet can be coy when she wants to be. You can really put your feminine wiles to work with this one, oh she's got it!! Get it girl!! Truly that Neroli and pink pepper top note is truly a MASTERPIECE!!!!! Eyes roll back status. YOWZA!!!;-) the middle notes with that star anise in it, is absolutely beautiful and dries down to a seductive cacao vanilla forward scent. I've not tested it out in public yet, but I can already tell these men are going to "act up" if they catch a whiff of this on you.!! LOL!!! Ladies please wear this with caution, because put it like this, it's called Love & Crime and if you put this on, an actual crime might be committed if you don't get out of dodge of a determined suitor who won't take being told "No I'm not interested" for an answer. Just sayin'. Lol. This stuff might cause a normally good man to wanna be a bad boy the moment he sniffs this freaking INTOXICATING fragrance, so just keep your eyes open to keep em from trying to snatch you out here.;-). Lol. So yes, Enjoy folks!!. Thanks for your time. Merry Christmas 2022!! Sky and Mimi's fur babies Mommy signing off until next time.!:-):-)

Nothing for diabetics
If this fragrance affected blood sugar levels, it would definitely only be available at pharmacies and would be unsuitable for diabetics.

One (!!!) spray was enough...
A sugary sweet cloud or roller brings my olfactory cells to their breaking point.
I first try my wrist a while not to lead in the direction of the nose, which is not easy because I am lured by this strong smell (probably like gaffers at nem accident). After a short time, the sweetness is vanilla, a violent hanky-panky between butter cookies and popcorn, enormously what the two have for a stamina....after about 5 hours, the liaison seems to have found its climax and the fragrance takes a break to catch its breath.
It is now gently reminiscent of Baccarat Rouge. As potent as this perfume comes along, the recovery time is of course short-lived, after which comes an omnipresent vanilla which, once it has taken its place, does not budge an inch.....

I applied the one spray in the afternoon and went to bed around 11pm. The vanilla on my skin was still so strong that I had to tuck my arm under my pillow to smother this scent. Fortunately, I'm one of those people who falls asleep after a few seconds of head on pillow, otherwise I definitely would have gotten up again to scrub the vanilla off with the exfoliating sponge.

A vanilla dream bedded on baked apples
This is the perfect fragrance for the autumn. It's warm, cozy, sensual, sexy. The durability is above average. I think the fragrance deserves some time to develop. After about 1 hour it gets the perfect note for me and also develops the warmth and sensuality that lasts for hours. I have received so many compliments while wearing the fragrance

Is that lira to the power of three?
wtf... i looked twice. The opening of this Crime is more than familiar to me ... citrusy, vanilla, peppery. While Lira remains sweet and fluffy like a lemon cake, the Love and Crime Cake adds a few pinches of aniseed and cocoa. You have to love the bakery, otherwise you'll soon be satiated. HS very good. Anyone who loves Lira will celebrate Love and Crime. While Lira remains as it is, simply fluffy and delicious, here it gets really spicy and sweet again. I love this Crime ️

Citrus vanilla caramel, like Lira or Unknown Pleasures, but this is more orangey and adds cocoa. Good addition, plus this performs best.

Initially considering this no more than a pink sugar-like fragrance, It has redeemed itself as a proper long lasting sweet cocoa treat on clothing.
