👍Why I like it:
As a millennial, the love spell original will always have a place in my heart. When I smelled this fragrance in store, I fell in love. It’s definitely a more mature Love Spell Fragrance, and poses a more floral playful side more than a fruity side like the original. The fragrance does have under notes of the original, which is still very enjoyable.
... Read moreOkay, so let's talk more about this *Victoria's Secret Love Spell Starlit Fragrance Mist*! When I first saw the bottle, with its subtle shimmer and that familiar Love Spell branding, I was intrigued. But the real magic happens when you actually spritz it. You know how sometimes a fragrance just *clicks*? This was one of those moments for me.
The original post mentioned it's a 'fruity floral' with 'Enchanted Moonflower' and 'Misty Boysenberry' notes. But what does that actually translate to? For me, the boysenberry comes through as a juicy, slightly tart, and very fresh berry note – it’s not overly sweet or cloying, which I really appreciate. It gives that signature 'Love Spell' fruitiness but in a refined way. Then comes the moonflower. Moonflower is known for its delicate, ethereal, and slightly powdery floral scent that blooms in the evening. In *Love Spell Starlit*, it adds a soft, almost luminous floral quality that truly elevates the fragrance. It’s not a heavy, in-your-face floral; it’s more like a whisper of blossoms under a starlit sky, hence the name 'Starlit', I suppose! This combination makes it feel incredibly sophisticated compared to the original, which can sometimes lean a bit more youthful and overtly fruity. This one has a graceful charm.
I've noticed a few people asking about the scent and how it compares to other VS fragrances, like Victoria Secret Love Addict Shimmer. While Love Addict Shimmer focuses more on wild orchid and blood orange for a vibrant, energetic scent with a noticeable shimmer, Love Spell Starlit is definitely softer and more romantic. If you love the fruity aspect of Love Addict but want something that feels a bit more grown-up and floral-dominant, Love Spell Starlit could be your perfect match. It retains that playful VS DNA but with an added layer of elegance.
One thing I always look for in a fragrance mist is its longevity. For a mist that typically costs $19.95 (though I always check for sales, as the original post wisely noted!), I find its staying power pretty impressive for a body mist. I usually get a good 3-4 hours on my skin, and even longer if I spray it on my clothes. My secret tip, as mentioned, is to *layer with matching lotion*. If you can find the Love Spell Starlit lotion or even a complementary unscented one, it really helps to anchor the scent and make it last all day. The 250 mL/8.4 fl oz bottle is a generous size, so you get a lot of product for your money, making it a great everyday scent.
Overall, if you're a long-time Victoria's Secret Love Spell fan looking for a fresh, more mature interpretation, or just someone curious about a lovely new fruity floral, I highly recommend giving Love Spell Starlit a sniff. It's truly a beautiful and versatile fragrance that brings a little bit of magic to your day! This honest review comes straight from my heart – it really does smell heavenly!
