Fruitichouli and New Car Smell
Reviewing based off of a sample.
Pretty, well blended and inoffensive. I really like the raspberry, leather, patchouli vibe Love Shot has going on while still being kept light and fresh with the peony and jasmine. (It helps that I enjoy all of those notes generally too lol).
This strikes a nice balance between demure, HR approved and cool girl. It sort of gives me Miss Dior/Coco Mad type of vibes in that Love Shot is a fruitichouli, but a fruitichouli that has a brand new luxury car. I saw one statement saying it reminds them of Coco Noir and while I definitely do not understand the Coco Noir comparison, I do 100% see a elements of Coco Mad in this scent.
As wear goes on the vetiver and vanilla start to take on more of a role and the scent sweetens and deepens, though the leather and patchouli is ever present. Worth noting the patchouli does take on a smokier, dirtier quality in the dry down as the vetiver starts to enter the game. I appreciate a patchouli note but recognize that may be off putting to some.
I have also seen Love Shot described as animalic and while it is a very noticeably leather note that stays for the entirety of wear, I always associate animalic smells with pungent, funky stank and I do not find Love Shot to be a stanky, dirty type of scent. Happily I get absolutely 0 of that sort of animalic urine vibe from Love Shot. It's really just a leather note that truly smells like new car or high end handbag leather.
Overall I really enjoyed this and of the 4 Ex Nihilo's I have sampled, it has been my favorite. Seems versatile -- could be worn at work but also would maybe be kind of sexy on a date because of said leather note.
I don't think this is unisex, I find it to be very feminine leaning. Performance/longevity is mid though about 4-5 hours.
Undecided if it is FB worthy but good nonetheless and worth at least testing out. If I were to use my discount voucher with the house on any of the scents I sampled it would be this one.
