Pros & Cons
- ✅ Wearing from a very vintage dabber extract of unknown age... It’s a very unique smell, and seems to be a harbinger of the fruit genre to me... just lights my fire over again.
- ✅ I purchased Amazone in spring 2008 (100 ml) and have worn it in pre-spring/spring ever since. Green-fruity in the opening with cassia and black currant... A French classic and one of my most loved scents.
- ✅ I can't believe that I have lived this long and never had the ecstatic opportunity to smell this incredibly beautiful work of art! ... As the hours pass, Amazone becomes more and more exquisite and I feel honored to own a bottle of the original version.
- ✅ I purchased Amazone in spring 2008 (100 ml) and have worn it in pre-spring/spring ever since. Green-fruity in the opening with cassia and black currant. Prominent galbanum gives a sophisticated vibe to it. The drydown is earthy with vetiver and oakmoss. A French classic and one of my most loved scents.
- ✅ I can't believe that I have lived this long and never had the ecstatic opportunity to smell this incredibly beautiful work of art! ... Amazone seems to capture EVERYTHING that makes a fragrance perfect... a soft subtlety, an evolution of complementary notes and sweet nuances, a singularly unique originality and a timeless beauty!
- ❌ I get that it’s classic, I get that it’s iconic… but on me? It’s giving aggressive 70s power suit and zero chill. Very mature, very loud, very “don’t sit near me if you’re sensitive.”
- ❌ Current reformulation. Soapy aldehydic musty green. 70s feel. Very light.
- ❌ Blind bought a 50 ml vintage... It is a little powdery from the oris and Iris perhaps... I'm sorry I wasted $40. I will give it away.
