Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
I Love Love is a bright, playful floral fragrance that opens with zesty citrus notes of mandarin and bergamot before blooming into a cheerful bouquet of lily of the valley, rose, and jasmine. The heart retains a light, almost effervescent quality that feels youthful and carefree. It settles into a soft, warm base of musk, sandalwood, and amber that gives it subtle staying power without losing its breezy, fun character.
Toy 2 is a soft, powdery floral built around a luminous iris and delicate lily of the valley heart, lifted by a sparkling bergamot and pink pepper opening. The base settles into a warm, skin-like embrace of white musk and sandalwood, giving it a gentle, almost talcum-like softness. It is light and airy yet intimate, with a clean femininity that feels effortlessly wearable.
How they overlap
I Love Love and Toy 2 share 2 notes (bergamot, sandalwood). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (6 unique to I Love Love, 6 unique to Toy 2) are where the divergence happens.

I Love Love is the cheaper original at $65 compared to $85 for Toy 2 — about 24% less.
