Amarige D'Amour by Givenchy

Please don't think just because it's a lighter flanker it's dishwasher soap. 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.

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. Being as I love sour chypres, this is really great. The sourness persists for the duration of the perfume, but one or two hours in, gentle springtime flowers come in the balance the pH. Little pink petals of sweetpea and roses, cushioned on a cloud of lilies. The woods don't play a major role in this.

I find Amarige D'Amour to be a springtime flanker with a serious edge. It definitely has its own personality, and it isn't just a happy-go-lucky dumbed down version of the original. 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.

I love the perfumes from the Amarige family!Even thought this is very light ,it is not like the other light citrusy and light flowery fragrances out there.This has a character,it is extremely feminine and the lasting power is great!!!!Next week I am buing it!

I was given this as a gift from a friend who knew I adored the original. I liked it but just not the same as Amarige (the best). Much softer and would agree with elgab on it being for younger girls.. cudos to givinchy though...

This has not received the same undeniable success of its older sister Amarige. I am not surprised as it has a complete feel. Fans of Amarige (myself included) were probably expecting the same sultry, dark and overpowering effect, just to be welcomed by her happy and chatty little sister that is quite young and innocent. The chypre is evident but, unfortunately, not special. I think it misses that "je ne sais quoi" that attracted us so much in the original version.
