The full review

Our testing notes.

After Dark Perfume is one of Eye of Love's signature women's scents: a gourmand blend of jasmine and grapefruit over lily, vanilla and chocolate, sold to 'attract men.' The fragrance is genuinely distinctive, and it's the reason most people buy it.

On the pheromone side it carries estratetraenol, the female-produced compound the community ties to a softer, more protective response in men. That's the right compound for the job, but it's a single, light inclusion. Eye of Love discloses less than enthusiast brands, and the community treats its pheromone claims with skepticism.

I wore After Dark on a night out and couldn't believe how much attention I got. The scent is seductive but not overpowering-just enough to draw him in.
- Kelly R.

The honest read is a lovely gourmand perfume with a pheromone angle, not a potent attraction weapon. For a woman who wants a sweet, sensual everyday scent and enjoys the pheromone ritual, it's an easy pick. Anyone chasing compound potency should look elsewhere.
