Tainted Love Eau de Parfum

I just recently purchased this and it's my second favorite (so far!) after Dead Sexy. It's a dark vanilla that's sweet enough to not be cloying combined with deep woods. There's a synthetic edge to it that grabs attention. The longevity is amazing! It's been almost four hours since I applied ONE spray on my arm and I can clearly smell it as I type this review.

One of my favs! The vanilla is present but not overly sweet, and the sandalwood creates a creamy base. The orchid and tea give this a bright yet cozy vibe, which I really love. 10/10 for me.

I love how I can pair this with True Vanilla if I want to get a little bit more spice in the evening.

This is amazing on me. It is one of my favorites, so dark and sensual, woodsy, earthy yet ethereal. Love “Tainted Love”.

This is definitely a favorite perfume. I found this in a shop in Alaska, and I never wore perfume well a lot. Got this sent and I wear it all the time. It’s a nice scent and I am happy with it.

I love this scent. It’s my absolute favorite.

This is very different than anything I've ever tried, but I love it/

LOVE this perfume!! Quick shipping and packed very well.

This is my signature scent! If they stop making it, I'm in big trouble! Complicated everyday! Love!

This is one of my all-time fav perfumes. I have re-bought this multiple times. It has the same feel as a much more expensive sweet tobacco perfume at a literal fraction of the cost. As the kids say, this is a banger of a fragrance and it better never be discontinued bc Ima gonna have emotional issues. . . .

I found this when Tokyo a milk was still in Sephora and when it disappeared from shelves in despaired. So glad to have found it again, and in my way to order my second bottle from this site (as well as a second of Everything and Nothing!)

This has become my signature scent and my go-to once again. I have others in rotate in but tainted love is always my first choice.

i had a sample vial and a mini hand lotion back in the early 2010’s and ive been thinking about this scent since. my budget has been tight but im finally able to grab a bottle and it smells just as i remember it. im in love.

Found this a few years back and have to say Tainted Love is my absolute favorite fragrance I also got another note discontinued fragrance through ipsy that was a wonderful spring scent for me i think it was 10,000 leagues under the sea. If I could brave more fragrances it would be the Tokyo Milk line for sure.

All time favorite scent from Tokyo milk. Been wearing this scent for over a decade never fails to bring compliments and confidence.

Margot Elena has literally the best perfumes I've ever tried. And I've been around awhile, I'm 51. This one and Wish are my absolute favorites of all time.

I have been repurchasing Tainted Love for the last 10 years or so. I very rarely use up my full size bottles the way I do for this one. Tainted Love feels like a misnomer. It's a unique vanilla for sure, not basic at all and thank god not another gourmand, but it's so pleasant I would never associate it with "tainted" anything! You can really smell each listed note; the tea does a lot of heavy lifting to bring out an "edge" to the vanilla that verges on spicy, but the orchid keeps it fresh and the sandalwood keeps it creamy. I'm actually getting some tobacco too, sort of like a baby cousin of TF Tobacco Vanille, but Tainted Love is more versatile. It's way more affordable too so I don't use it sparingly like I do my Tobacco Vanille. I personally think Tainted Love can be worn day or night, suitable in any season and for any occasion! Great projection but not headache-inducing. I get compliments on this all the time. Please please please Margot Elena never discontinue this one!

This gets 5 stars from me because when I think of the most unforgettable scents this is definitely one of my tops.

It’s the most unique scent I’ve ever used and I consider it my signature scent. It’s sweet but not gourmand. It’s seductive and mysterious. Somehow warm AND cool at the same time!

I can’t honestly say what exactly the scents are even with the description. I just know it’s addicting and I can’t get enough of it.

If you want a sweet scent that’s not gourmand or even if you just want something new and different, you have to give this a try.

Absolutely adore this scent, so many compliments, even my grandsons live this scent on me. Pickup everytime in US as unavailable in the UK

I fell in love with this fragrance a while ago because my friend had the hand cream and I tried it out. I finally decided to order some of the hand cream for myself and thought 'why not get the perfume too, then I'll smell even better', so that's what I did! My order arrived very quickly and was well packed, and I'm enjoying my awesome new scent. I'm looking forward to trying other scents in the line.

This smells very similar to my partners “Dolce & Gabanna, The One Eau De Parfum” only perhaps more masculine. While I like this scent, I don’t want it on myself. It needs more sweetness or something to brighten it.

Purchased from a boutique and I’m so happy I did. The longevity is fantastic and it projects incredibly well! It’s such a warm comforting scent! I wish they made a lotion or a body wash so I could layer them!

Tainted Love has been my favorite scent since my first discovery many years ago. It's the perfect blend of spicy, sexy and sweet. Such a unique fragrance, works well with my body chemistry, and never fails me on days when I need a lift. I often receive compliments and am asked "what are you wearing". I am happy to share and send more excited converts your way. The more the merrier. Cheers.

I was so excited to see this line still available because I used to buy it at Sephora a decade ago. Tainted Love is my go-to signature fragrance.

I learned about this perfume from one of my favorite YouTubers and bought it the moment I saw her video and I'm so glad I did. This scent is warm and inviting and is such a good Fall/Winter cozy scent. This was the perfect introduction to Margot Elena and I'm so happy to have found this site.

Sumptuous and indulgent. Daytime fragrance that transitions nicely into nighttime. Highly recommend

This smell is wonderful ! I’m also afraid to repurchase, due to the fact it leaked badly! So bad all the paint on the outside made a mess of things .

I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell… to the point that most fragrances are obnoxious. I was in Homer, Alaska, and began smelling these adorable, tiny bottles… I took one sniff of Tainted Love, tested it on my wrist… I didn’t bother testing any of the others. I am in love with this fragrance like I’ve never er been in love with a fragrance before! It calms me, wraps around me like a warm blanket straight out of the dryer! Love-love-love it!
