I am amazed that I found this fragrance still available in retail (the last copy in the store), as often you only see Glowing, Glow, or Live there.
There isn't too much to say about the scent. Shortly after spraying, it smells wonderfully of fresh mandarins; it does sting a bit in the nose, but that doesn't bother me, as this impression quickly fades.
The heart note doesn't take long to appear: the orange blossom is pleasantly fruity and becomes sparkling due to the aquatic nature of the water lily, while the orchid adds a slightly sweet touch. It's a bit soapy as well, which reminds me of just having taken a shower.
The citrusy, green, and slightly soapy character runs throughout the fragrance; in the base, the scent is a bit weaker, showing hardly any woodiness, rather slightly powdery.
I really like Love and Glamour, as it provides a little freshness kick on days when I struggle to get going in the morning and also fits well when I go to training after work. The combination of aquatic, floral, green, and fruity notes makes it a pleasant companion for everyday life.
The longevity is impressive; I perceive it for a good eight hours. However, the sillage is rather weak, which I don't find tragic. I am curious to see how the perfume performs when it finally gets warmer.
The bottle is very beautiful, fits well in the hand, and is definitely eye-catching :-). The packaging, on the other hand, is dreadful: golden speckles on a pink background.
As with some previous comments, I find it a mystery why the fragrance is named this way. It is by no means glamorous, and love would smell sensual to me. Nevertheless, I find the perfume feminine and somewhat stimulating, although my fiancé thinks the top note reminds him of dish soap...
