The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Flavour of Love is Savour's dedication to the LGBTQ+ community, a fragrance built around the belief that love, in all its forms, is a right worth championing. From each bottle sold, 20 euros goes to the Rainbow Fund, supporting organisations in countries where queer people face persecution. The name is not subtle, and neither is the intent. This is perfume as quiet advocacy, something you wear on your skin that carries a statement without shouting it. The house frames each release around a specific emotional or thematic anchor. Flavour of Love is their contribution to the conversation about identity, belonging, and what it means to love openly.
The structure tells you everything about the intent. Ambrette seed, the musk mallow, is the quiet foundation that makes the whole thing work. It is not loud. It is the thing that makes violet feel inhabited rather than decorative. Coriander and black pepper do not dominate. They lift the powdery heart just enough to keep it from floating away. The interplay between these elements creates something cohesive, each note supporting the others rather than competing for attention.
The evolution
On skin, Flavour of Love opens immediately with a clean, powdery impression that reads as almost soapy before it deepens into something more complex. There is no citrus fanfare, no sharp edge to navigate. The musky-floral softness is there from the first breath. Within minutes, coriander and black pepper settle in as warm undertones, present but never aggressive. The heart develops around magnolia and white champaca, adding a creamy, slightly sweet floral layer that feels lush without crossing into gourmand territory. This is where the fragrance earns its intimacy. The drydown is where the cedar and sandalwood do their work. The musky-ambrette base lingers closest to the skin, but the woody warmth wraps around it and carries the scent for hours. On fabric, the violet powder fades last, a ghost of the opening that stays until the next wash.
Cultural impact
Savour approaches fragrance as a trigger for personal reflection rather than decoration. Flavour of Love carries a tangible commitment: 20 euros from each bottle supports the Rainbow Fund, which backs LGBTQ+ organisations in countries where queer people face persecution and violence. The fragrance itself is a soft, powdery floral-woody composition that occupies a particular space within the contemporary fragrance landscape. It speaks to those who find meaning in scent as expression, who see fragrance as part of how they present themselves to the world.
