Ile d`Amour Fragonard for women

This perfume reminds me of visiting the South of France for a holiday. It seems to be quite strong on me so I can't wear a lot, but I do like it.

This perfume will always remind my of my French class because my teacher always wore this, and it filled the classroom with a part of France. Maybe one day I'll experience France in person, but for now I'll survive with this beautiful fragrance. :)

Some years ago my interest to Ile d'Amour led me to Fragrantica for the first time.
My mother brought many perfumes from Fragonard museum in Grasse and gifted this one to me.

Ile d'Amour is a glorious day scent, so romantic and so French. It is really all about love.
The tender florals with a touch of sea water create the picture of a small private garden at the seaside. Maybe the town of Grasse itself has inspired the master who composed this masterpiece (I regret so much that I don't know the name of the perfumer).

Indeed, if most famous perfumes are more likely to bring associations with big cities like Milan, New York, of course Paris, Ile d'Amour tells you of a beautiful province that is far from the "big life", from social events and fashion but it has its own story full of timeless charm.

That is the feeling that makes Ile d'Amour so special for me. I live from one big city to another, but my soul will always be coming back here to my dear little garden at the sea...

A thousands thanks to you, Fragonard.

Air-Water-Earth...Ethereal composition, delightful scent.

It's like lulling waves of the sea, lilac aroma opens the composition with smell of sea water, lightly touch of rose and amber gives a feeling of bitter sea air. Jasmine and musk provide caressing and romantic feeling in the drydown. Soft, semi-sweet jasmin aroma with a hint of amber and musk.

Just close your eyes and feel the rhythmic pulse and murmure of the ocean..:)

A light and beautiful water-flowery scent. Very good for summer.

When I first noticed this perfume...I fell in love with It ....

Its like Paris in a bottle...

Like a beautiful fairytale ....
It has so much class...event If It is not modern or sexy...but simply beautiful...

Like a pot full of gold :)

Ile d'Amour to me smells like a deliciously balanced combination of green apple and rose.

There are of course other beautiful florals in this composition, however I sense that the rose features most prominently here.

In a way, Ile d'Amour is aquatic, but only in a very subtle way. Although I'll admit that I found this fragrance quite linear at first, after multiple wears, Ile d'Amour is quite complex.

Opening with a rather Summery bouquet of rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, osmanthus and sea salt, and an unlisted note, apple, there is something very intriguing about it as it settles into the skin.

The sillage is quite strong in the beginning, and the overall scent somewhat tart-like and bold. Towards the heart, while still maintaining its freshness, it becomes a little softer, with the florals becoming a touch sweeter.

The drydown is a beautiful, ambery powder with a slight hint of musk. The scent is that of an elegant lady, evoking images of both the seaside and picturesque, period-style mansions.

It's not every day that I happen to find a fragrance with such an oceanic feel that doesn't come across as being synthetic or odd on my skin. Ile d'Amour reminds me of a much more floral and classic version of L'eau par Kenzo pour Femme.

I originally believed that Ile d'Amour when translated meant island of love, which would have been quite a suitable name for this scent. Unfortunately I was incorrect and was informed that its actual translation was love letter.

old furniture, are you sure you don't have diamonte? It smells varnishy to me

search for products of provence - you can get the Eau de Toilette for $40

I LOVE this perfume.. It has grown on me so much.
However I have no way of getting it :( How can I get it?

I like it for it's lovely freshness .I get the Lily of the Valley above other notes . It's light but beautiful.

It is a romantic perfume. It smells of roses. It reminds me of 'eau d'issey' of Issey Miyake. My boyfriend is not very keen on it, says it smells old, like old furniture. I don't know why has this effect on him, but I do like it a lot
