About this fragrance
Every good love story needs a little mystery, and Harlequin Romance delivers from the very first sniff. It opens with bright lemon and citrus zest, layered over bergamot-lavender, with a curious anise twist for an entrance that's warm, inviting, and just a little unexpected.
The heart takes an elegant, unexpected turn. Translucent jasmine and dewy lily of the valley mingle with powdery violet and crushed green leaves, creating a heart that feels romantic but never predictable, exactly the kind of plot twist a good harlequin novel needs.
It settles into a rich, velvety base of warm tonka bean and soft amber, wrapped in vanilla and a blanket of clean musk that lingers like the last page of a favorite story. Compare to Lush® brand 1000 Kisses™.
