A gourmand lover’s dream, but really so much more than just a delicious smell, Melt My Heart is an oil-based fragrance that captures the dizzying sensation of falling in love. And if you imagine that to feel like falling slowly backwards into a featherbed filled with fluffy orris butter and dark chocolate, well, then your vision lines right up with that of Strangelove NYC. Creamy, soft, and utterly addictive, this scent combines the mouthfeel of powdered white chocolate and lipstick with the velvety bitterness of 85% cocoa. Real orris butter, costlier than most other perfumery materials and described by Chandler Burr as “liquid good taste”, has been used generously here to give the more edible elements spaciousness and lift, like a puff of silvery breath on the cold air. It is the “white” element that contrasts so effectively with the dulcet bitterness of the dark chocolate note. Real oud, ginger, and mandarin are just present enough to draw out various facets of the chocolate and the iris – a spicy, woodsy undertone perhaps - but don’t expect too dominant a presence. The sandalwood, in comparison, is a real MVP in this composition, its lush, buttered, coconutty sweetness playing off the dark chocolate and orris to create a delicious Mounds Bar accord that will make you want to nibble your arm. The perfumer, Christophe Laudamiel, says that Melt My Heart is “for falling in love.” Well, we can’t imagine anyone smelling this and not being helplessly in its thrall.

 

Notes:

ginger, bergamot, nutmeg, sage, oud, dark chocolate, orris root

A hippie with a trust fund!

This knocked my socks off. I had an immediate sense memory of walking into the head shop in my college town, which also sold clothes, accessories, decor, jewelry, etc. This is the most upscale “patchouli” I’ve ever experienced, like someone who was at Woodstock is now a thriving small business owner. It’s got a spicy, woodsy warmth but also a syrupy sweetness in the best way, and some iris powder. It’s got major projection, so I’m waiting to wear it in the evening, because my day scents have to be relatively unobtrusive to go to the office. I’m putting a larger decant or a full bottle on my wishlist!

I do not like this scent.

This smelled gross to me.

Exquisite

Exquisite to say the least! The notes of white chocolate are so subdued & silhoutte, yet it captivates you with its enhanced mellow tones...Beautiful!
Buying the bottle indeed!!!

Strangelove NYC Melt My Heart

A beautiful gourmand. The chocolate and orris butter is so buttery. After my 2ml decant, I'll probably purchase a full bottle now! Thank you to Scent Split for taking care of me!

The One

While each one of Strangelove’s perfumes have their own personality - and some are certainly an acquired taste - this one left me mesmerized from the start, and I bought a full size bottle from the maker.
It’s like one of those super soft fuzzy blankets, the kind you just cannot get away from because they’re so comforting and cozy and warm; you want to wrap yourself in it, bury your nose and never leave.
Alright, alright, I was just going to say that it smells really good and that I recommend it and that I did end up buying a bottle, but it smells so interesting, so different; makes one wax poetic against one’s own wish.
