Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Raspberry
Heart Notes
Leather
Base Notes
Musk
The opening arrives with a burst of vibrant raspberry, fresh and luminous against the skin. This sparkling top note creates an immediate sense of joy and brightness, setting the tone for a fragrance that feels alive and energetic. The fruity introduction is both playful and sophisticated, drawing you in with its natural radiance.
In the heart, a subtle leather note emerges, adding depth and sensuality to the composition. This unexpected leather accord brings an elegant complexity that prevents the fragrance from feeling purely fruity—instead, it introduces a romantic sophistication that's utterly captivating. The leather softens the sweetness, creating a beautifully balanced middle stage that lingers on the skin.
The base settles into a warm, creamy musk that anchors the entire composition. This gentle foundation extends the fragrance's presence with a subtle, intimate sillage that stays close to your body rather than projecting loudly. Perfect for spring and summer days, Love Shot builds in layers throughout the wear, revealing its full character over time.

Love Shot delivers 6–8 hours of wear on skin with noticeable projection. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion. Layer with the Body Oil to extend longevity throughout the day. Perfect for warm-weather occasions. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
