The Scent Journey
This Love of Mine by Recreation is an eau de parfum fragrance that opens with Violet Leaf, Basil, and Coconut, transitions into a heart of Gardenia, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and settles into a base of Iris, Vanilla, and Ylang-Ylang. Expect 2-4 hours longevity and strong sillage. Best suited for spring. Rated 3.5/5, divisive by the community, 3 votes.

The First Spray
Cool and dewy. Violet leaf hits first with something almost aquatic, the smell of a garden after rain. Basil adds green, slightly anise-like depth. Then jasmine and neroli arrive sharp, almost citrus-bright, cutting through before the tropical florals fully arrive.
The Verdict
What the community says.
- Lush tropical white florals that last
- Sandalwood-vanilla drydown is warm and intimate
- Above-average longevity for the genre
- Moderate sillage, present without overwhelming
- Clean ingredients without sacrificing scent quality
- White florals can read heavy in warm weather
- Tropical intensity not for those who prefer subtle
- Tuberose may polarize, very heady character
- Some find it leans feminine despite unisex positioning
- Above-average projection may feel strong for office wear
