With Love

Hilary Duff With Love, Reviewed by the Numbers

Every fragrance review promises honesty; few bring receipts. For With Love — the 2006 EDP from Hilary Duff built on Fruity, Warm Spicy, Sweet, Tropical, Woody — the receipts are climate scores, longevity hours and price-per-bottle across markets. They are all below, and they tell a clearer story than any list of adjectives.

A surprisingly complex and warm spicy tropical scent from a celebrity line, praised for its unique mangosteen and 'coco loco' accord.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

With Love opens with Spices, Mangosteen and Mangosteen Blossom — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Coco Loco Accord and Exotic Fruits. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Ambrette (Musk Mallow) and Exotic Woods.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Fruity, Warm Spicy, Sweet, Tropical, Woody — easy to place and easy to wear.

Performance: Longevity, Sillage & Versatility

Longevity (7/10): With Love delivers strong longevity for EDP. On most skin types expect 5–8 hours. A midday touch-up is rarely necessary but can extend the experience on special occasions.

Sillage (6/10): With Love projects at a social distance, noticeable without overwhelming. Application to pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — maximises projection without overwhelming the room.

Versatility (7/10): With Love is context-aware, performing well across a range of situations without feeling mismatched. From casual daytime to formal evening, it adapts without feeling out of place.

Value (8/10): At around $30, With Love delivers significantly more than its price tag suggests — one of the better value propositions in its category.

With Love Across Five Climate Zones

Of the five climate zones we score, With Love does best in warm & dry (Lahore, Los Angeles) at 8/10 — it keeps its shape there instead of turning sharp or fading fast.

Its tropical and spicy warmth can be enchanting in cooler evenings or moderate daytime temperatures in warmer regions, but might be too intense for extreme heat.

That result traces back to the composition: Ambrette (Musk Mallow) is a material that hold their shape as the temperature climbs, rather than thinning out.

Its average across all five zones is 6.6/10 — broad enough to wear most of the year without second-guessing the weather.
