Pros & Cons
- ✅ I just received a full bottle of this via a fragrance site. It was completely wrapped and brand new. I'm not sure when this was discontinued, but what a loss! A beautiful soft sweet pea scent- with NO patchouli (thank God). I'm not getting the 'sour' smell that a couple people here are, unless their noses just are sensitive to bit of black current. Love this. Quite elegant and demure. Really thrilled with this purchase.
- ✅ I prefer this perfume to the original Amarige. The first spritz smells just like sweet pea, which doesn't last too long. I really dislike cassis. It's the one note that keeps me from fully loving this perfume. I detect mimosa more easily than any other flower as well as a touch of tartness from the rosehip. I hate using the word 'soapy,' but there is a pure, translucent, clean quality about this fragrance that I really enjoy. It's a nice, clean, spring floral, but make no mistake--it retains that Givenchy complexity that makes for a high-quality, classic perfume.
- ✅ Let's start with my confession: I am a notorious blind buyer. When I saw a partial bottle of discontinued Amarige d'Amour online, I recklessly pulled the trigger. ... What can I say? Amarige d'Amour is definitely not a linear scent. The initial dominance of cassia and black currant gives way to a mix of sweet peas, rose and mimosa. ... The dry down, where I really notice the ambergris, is gorgeous. ... This was definitely I blind buy I don't regret!
- ✅ I like Amarige d'Amour, it is a very light and airy perfume, just with a touch of sweetness, perfect for day wear during the summer. I don't detect black currant at all. I also have the original version (wich I love), and these two have absolutely nothing in common.
- ✅ Amarige D'Amour has some serious attitude for a flanker, and to me, it totally steps out from behind older sis Amarige's shadow on its own right. Not dark and sexual like Amarige, but not a citrusy-flowery-watery typical springtime edition either. Totally different and unique.
- ❌ Please don't think just because it's a lighter flanker it's dishwasher soap. ... To begin with, Amarige D'Amour is possibly the most sour perfume I've ever smelled, right up there with Hypnose Senses. Not a citrus sourness, mind you, but the sourness of barely-ripe berries and slightly-green flower buds. ... Sometimes the sourness can be off-putting, so I have to be in an especially strong mood if I decide to reach for it in the morning.
- ❌ Opens like leaves in the garden. I like plants and have plenty of them, but the scent of rubbing against the tomato plants without the soil or air notes I'd expect to accompany it is a bit odd. ... TBH, I just don't find this wearable. Smells like a sanitized and romanticized version of yard work.
- ❌ It's a very sharp floral that didn't dry down on me. Agree with poster below. Smells nothing like original Amarige. I thought the initial blast of sharpness would go away but didn't Gave it away to a coworker with the warning never to wear around me unless it's at my funeral and I won't be able to smell it.
- ❌ Opens like leaves in the garden. I like plants and have plenty of them, but the scent of rubbing against the tomato plants without the soil or air notes I'd expect to accompany it is a bit odd. There's a floral that eventually comes in on the dry down. I have to assume it's the white mimosa since I know the other notes and it's not those. TBH, I just don't find this wearable. Smells like a sanitized and romanticized version of yard work.
- ❌ Yes,I agree with Rithacha. Amarige D'Amour is possibly the most sour perfume I've ever smelled,black currant and cassia,both of them make a serious sour mixture can kill all the animals and persons from the beginning to ending.
