Amarige Mariage Givenchy for women

cirtus and patchouli, it is warm and nice , settles down to quite a heady smell of patchouli for me but i like that, it is soo good i love it

So we meet again. Long time - no see, and I missed you. Amarige mariage is my absolute favourite. Lovely spicy, fresh, womanish, sexy, deep and warm. I don't like Amarige but this one - O'boy its Great! Longlasting. Less is more, spray carefully or else this one will turn thick and overwhelming.

Så möts vi igen. Lång tid sen sist och jag saknar dig Amarige Mariage, min absoluta favorit. Underbart kryddig, fräsch, kvinnlig, sexig, djup och varm. Jag gillar inte Amarige men denna är helt otroligt underbar! doftar länge på huden. Spreja försiktigt annars blir den tung och kvalmig och en riktig rumsdödare. En doft som börjar bli svår att hitta i butikerna.. tyvärr.

It was a blind buy and I didnt really like it . In fact I wanted to swop it but no one wanted to have it....I have had it for 6 months now, unused.

Only recently I was looking for some perfume samples in my draw and I found this. Sniffed it again and still didnt like it...but then i sprayed it on my wrists. After about 10 minutes I could not believe that it actually smelled so nice! very warm, spicy a bit of cinnamon and orange, benzoin is quite nice as well.

Six months Ive had it in my bedroom and didnt even know what treasure I actually had :) it is lovely for winter days. So calming and relaxing but sexy and strong at the same time . I am glad no one wanted to
swop :-)

Ihad to edit it .....- lovely perfume but after few hours I had to take a shower because it gave me a horrible headache :-(

A great throwback to "festive scents" genre that became rather popular in the 90-s as well as cherished reminiscence of cheap yet high-quality Soviet colognes from the 80-s. It's also a bit similar to Java by F. Olivier with citrus-jasmine-magnolia notes they have in common, but unlike Java, Amarige Marriage is "with lace".
The sillage is in the best Givenchy sillage-gem (Organza, etc.) fashion.
Gotta have it,'cause it's there.

I bought this blind as the notes really appeal to me.
I got it and i like it a lot. Its soft cinnamon, with a hint of bitter orange, the right amount of patchouli [not overwhelming] and sandelwood. I dont get much of the flower notes but i love it the way it developes on my skin. Its not heavy or overly sweet.
It has indeed in the drydown similarities with Gucci Accenti, but it is also a tiny bit [drydown] similar to Indecence Givenchy. Its a good fall/winter fragrance.

This fragrance has fast become one of my favourites. I had a tester of this initially but even before that was finished I had ordered myself a large bottle.
Cinnamon is a favourite note of mine and in amarige mariage it is certainly prominent but not overpowering. Here it is in perfect balance with the floral components which keep it overall interesting and decidedly feminine.
There is a subtle sweetness throughout which I find keeps the whole combination warm. Surprisingly the drydown becomes more about vanilla while still keeping that beautiful floral and cinnamon mix in the background.
There is just something about this scent and I feel so comfortable wearing it no matter whether it's to work, for casual wear or nights out, I just love it.
The weather is definitely warming up where I live but this has not (yet) become too heavy. In fact, it's sexy as hell to catch a smell of this on the breeze of a warm day!
Longevity is excellent and clings well to fabric. I have received compliments on this one, even from my SO who rarely comments so that in itself makes this somewhat special to me but ultimately I wear it for myself.
Highly recommend!

i tested and its so ugly! like fresh cutting grass smell but in a bad way iuuuuu so strong so overpowering not for that special day (wedding day)sorry for the lovers of this one but it doesnt work with my body chemistry!

I bought a 1oz eau de parfum size just for safety measure and because well... the larger bottles have no where to go now in my room.

I would say suprisingly this is not that modern being made in the 2006, first spray was an intoxicating and kind of overbearing burst of bold florals, reminiscence of the 80s powerhouses ( as mentioned by mellybelly)

This actually is very very alike to Gucci Accenti on my skin. The drydown that comes later is quite different though.

The initial spray is very very strong, longevity is excellent, sillage i would say a little less than monstrous, on me i detect dominantly a rich heavy magnolia and cedar and of course the heavy dose of cinnamon, not quite spicy but more aromatic?
The drydown is to die for, a very rich non-edible vanilla with lingering cinnamon, the whole composition is constantly sweetened by the jasmine note.

Overall im very glad to have bought a 1oz size, as im sure it will last be a looonng time, it took one full spritz to last 12hours. I would recommend this more a matured taste 28+ and above. Will be safe keeping this for awhile as it seems it has been discontinued.

Drunken Flowers.....GOD! I love the house of Givenchy. I sprayed some this deliciousness on today and I just realized that it has this kind of boozy~floral opening....I thought to myself.....Drunken Flowers. I'm guessing it's the organge~jasmine and bergamot~magnolia combination. I'm totally vibing it. Cinnamon, Benzoin and Sandalwood.....This is just absolutely tasty. I might be biased in my reviews because I prefer sweet smelling fragrances and Amarige Mariage more than satisfies my sweet tooth. It reminds me quite a bit of Givenchy Organza Indecense which is in my top five phenomenal fragrances. So, if I run out of it, I'll always have Amarige Mariage to go to. I can definitely see myself wearing this on my wedding. It smells phenomenal and I'm forever recieving compliments when I wear it. My fiance.....I can't put into words how much he loves this perfume. I'm not a huge fan of the original Amarige and for some this version pales in comparison to it, but for me, it's nothing short of pure bliss. If you don't mind smelling like Egyptian Jasmine and Ceylon Cinnamon Bark or just sweet enough to bite, then don't be afraid to let Ms. Amarige Mariage kiss you with its Drunken-Flowery-Sugary-Luciousness. One bite of this feminine concoction is definitely one I wouldn't mind.

Definitly my favourit!I will love it allways,and offcours i will wear it on my wedding one day i hope!

At first it felt a bit overpowering, but it dries down to a soft, cuddly, but not sickening-sweet smell. Definitely for all day round wear. Highly recommend!!

At first I didn't think much of this scent.. until I smelt my wrist about 30mins later.. wow.. sweet, feminine, fresh... just beautiful! May not be the best straight up but some things are worth the wait :)

Very soft and cuddly scent. Love it. At first it is pretty syrupy, but the end is delicious. Really elegant and clean feeling. It smells like a luxury shampoo.

Ok..love Givenchy for the most part. I sprayed on skin, I smell soft,creamy woods, a little cinnamon, jasmin, yes, magnolia, yes, very pleasant and wearable. Not over the top or heavy like Givenchy Organza Indecence. Very pretty, very nice without being complicated. I do love this fragrance. Basically, cinnamon, simple white florals, and earthy woods.

A perfume for your wedding day? I'll say! If you want to smell sweet and earthy and elegant, and make everyone enjoy hugging you! The more I wear this one the more I love it.

The Summer weather is starting to heat up around here, but I don't care. I'm still wearing it!

longevity is great. it takes about 7-8 hours on me. its not a marriage perfume but great for winter and fall.
for patchuli lovers.

To me this is a sweet, woody, creamy oriental with well-blended patchouli. I like it a lot and will wear it often. Too bad i only just now discovered it.

I agree with Brindlegirl, I can definitely smell vanilla! I could also smell the cinnamon straight away. And once I read the notes, I was able to discern the bergamot too. It smells clean, fresh & floral. However when I spray it on my skin, it smells a lot less floral and a lot more citrusy. And the bergamot really comes out on me. I quite like this, it reminds me of the perfume I loved as a child but cannot remember the name of!

EDIT: It's a few weeks later & i'd just like to give an update. I'm wearing it again today & it smells exactly like orange & vanilla. This must be made by the bitter orange, cinnamon & bergamot. These are the main notes for me. I love the combination of orange & bergamot, & the cinammon gives it a twist that makes this fragrance really warm, rather than fresh & citrusy. Very good longevity!!

PS. I smell no patchouli in this at all, which is good for patchouli haters like myself.

Smells really yummy at first but the perfume is just too big for me to wear. It is too distracting.

I used Dolce Vita for years seems they have discontinued it...anyway I also think it looks like Mariage..maybe I'll give it a try!!!

I'd totaly forgot about this tresor by Givenchy. It was last summar, after a long walk with my lovely sister, We decided to buy something special for her... trying lots of notes on herself, she chose to put thise one - a simple bottle but with a beautiful orental notes ...So lovely... at first you will feel the orange,and then the magnolia,... lots of Egyption jasmine and cinnamon-it was a great choice for both of us..THANK YOU Givenchy 9/10 points from us!

Lovely oriental floral! Very similar to Desnuda by Emanuel Ungaro, but less complex, less spicy, and much louder with a little different twist added by magnolia. So I would say if you have either one, no need to buy the other. But if you are a big oriental floral fan, both of these perfumes would be an asset to your collection.
Outstanding staying power and sillage...on me stays at least 6 hours, sometimes more than I need.

nice smell, instantly reminds me of Angel, only difference is citrus in top notes. But it dies fast too, not like Angel. Pleasant.

Absolutely beautiful!

This scent is so feminine warm and I'm surprised its classed as floral. Its more oriental floral if you ask me.

I can smell vanilla however there is none but it does have that sweet vanilla tone to it.

It smells similar to flower bomb and Revlons Delicate moments.

This perfume is very long lasting, one spray goes a long way. Its non offensive and is great for every day wear and also for a night out. Its perfect!!

I looooove this perfume! I love the original floral Amirage, but this take on it, Mirage is fabulous too! I only receive compliments on it. You can definitely smell the patchouli in it, but I tell people that is just the "little hippy girl in me":) It is a lovely oriental with just a touch of spicy and I personally react very well with it. Not as strong or even in the same line as Opium, Poison, Must or anything like that. It is floral and feminine but has enough patchouli and other oriental to make it mysterious. I have only received compliments on it, and good news is that it is not too expensive. I feel that pretty much one can never go wrong with anything create by the house of Givenchy.

Very pleasant perfume. A seller advised me to test it when I told her I liked Cristobal for women - Balenciaga. For moderate but seductive and elegant women.

On my testerbottle it says: Group- chypre oriental EdP, here on fragratica it says Floral.

The opening is softspicy and turns quickly into a warm, sensual and feminine scent. Lovely. Not loud, this scent stays close to the person who wears it.Lovely. A great everyday scent, I think.

...and I have to add...this will be my alltime-fume. I bought this yesterday and I have been abslolutely addicted to it...Its a wow-scent....Longlasting to. 10/10 from me!

I purchased a bottle of this perfume last week and wore it for the first time last night. Have always loved the original - hadn't heard of this one before but because I knew the original suited me thought I would give it a try. It is beautiful - suits my skin and I had lovely compliments about it. Have now rung the store I purchased it from and they have put another bottle away for me. I paid $22 Australian dollars for a 1oz eu de Parfum which is a bargain for something so good.
As Coco says, you don't need a lot - a light spray lasts and lasts.

I was hunting down a wedding fragrance for my cousin this week and was advised by a nice sales assistant to try this one. I must say it was love at first sniff! A very feminine floral, soft and delicate like a bride is supposed to be, but at the same time with character and unforgettable, just like every girl imagines her wedding day. I hold this to also be a perfect office scent, as someone else has said here. It is pure elegance and sophistication.

The first hour this perfume is really too much, too much Patchouli I guess. But THEN: one of the best fragrances EVER for me. Lovely, sweet but not too sweet. Yes, it is similiar to Dolce Vita by Dior, but better, and not that sweet imho. I really don´t like it that much the first 1- 2hours but it´s absolutely worth waiting, because for the rest of the day (literally,it is veeery longlasting)it is great!

I wear this at the office, when I have black or grey suits and in my mind this is the smell of a warm honey like , ambery fall afternoon, if you have a black pencil skirt, high heels and a perfect grey silk blouse.every time I put these on I feel like wearing Amarige Marriage ...

Givenchy AMARIGE MARIAGE bears virtually no resemblance to its namesake, AMARIGE, which may explain the negative reviews--a reaction to dashed expectations.

If my vial were not a manufacturer-produced, carded sample, I could easily have mistaken this for a flanker of Thierry Mugler ANGEL. Lots of sweet patchouli in a pleasant floral mix, AMARIGE MARIAGE is essentially another patchouli frag among so many others which erupted on the scene post-ANGEL.

The staying power is quite good, and the sillage pretty big, but I'd have to say that AMARIGE MARIAGE is more or less interchangeable with any among the entire panoply of sweet patchouli frags. Nothing remarkable or new here, but nice, if sweet patchouli is your thing (which is a big if...).

The dominant floral here is jasmine, so perhaps that's the "link" to AMARIGE? Still, a pretty weak link, given that jasmine figures so prominently in so many floral frags.

Yes! one of my favourite:)I don'like Amarige,but this one is completely different and I feel vanilla in it:)so lovely and longlasting!

In two words: Ingratiatingly nice.

For sweet girls only.

I really wanted to like this, as I received it as a swap and hadn't had the opportunity to smell it before!
However, there is to me a nauseating top note which reminds me of amaretto.
I prefer the original Amarige, as it is not so sickly sweet.

I decided to change my review, after knowing this perfume better. I would say it is nice, but has no personality. It has a pleasant moment to it, but not enough depth to take me on a long journey. I feel I am stuck somewhere in a middle of a road. It is pretty, but now that I got a small bottle of it, I would wear it anonymously when I don't want to twist heads around.

I bought a 1 oz bottle of this for my wife as they were being reduced to $10 each at K-Mart. I was apprehensive as to whether she would actully like it. She loves it. She said she would definitely wear it on a wedding day and it would complement a floral bouquet. To her and to me it is very floral, we don't really detect the citrus but rather it smells really blossomy (probably it the jasmine and magnolia that give this impression). It is sweet, but not sickly sweet. A top ten fragrance for my wife.

It's interesting how different our noses and perceptions are because in my humble opinion this is a much better perfume than original Amarige.

I love the way this fragrance evolves seamlessly from the citrus opening notes to floral heart which is spiked with just the right amount of cinnamon; but my favourite part is the dry down, it is very warm and sensual, with a powdery undertone and I can almost swear I smell vanilla too.

On me this fragrance is very rich and feminine and in no way synthetic.

The lasting power is phenomenal; this fragrance lasted for hours and I could still faintly smell it after washing the dishes. Wow! This perfume deserves respect. Definitely one of my new favourites.

i totally agree with zvoncica. this perfume is just wrong. this is not how the wedding day should smell. no way. the amount of patchouli is too much for my stomach to endure... and it is not feminine at all.

I do prefer Amarige Mariage to Amariage. Warm and floral. You will get the bitter orange scent in the opening. After this grand opening you only need a white flower bouquet to start running to the hills:)

I was attracted to the bottle appearance and therefore urged to try this newer Amarige edition. Also the name of the perfume tempted me, how did Givenchy imagine the wedding day smell?

I regretted my curiosity few seconds later.
Beginning of Mariage is overwhelming and unpleasant. Starts immediately as flower - patchouli monster. No citruses whatsoever. I thought that with time the perfume will settle down and become more pleasant. It did settle down to the faze of sickening sweetness. Oh, and also developed even more strength and boldness.

I decided to wash my wrist in the beginning of third hour. In my opinion Mariage lacks sensuous and feminine touch which I expected considering the perfume name. Overly loud, sweet, unfriendly.

This really is a lovely fragrance. It is like a ramped up Amarige. I tested it using the Eau De Parfume. It is very strong initially but settles down quickly and leaves a softer scent although it is still pretty powerful. Personally, I would not wear this for a wedding day perfume. That day needs something more rose less fruit. It could easily offend someone.

PS This one did not cause my allergies to kick up but I did not have a spray just a test packet. For true measure go to the counter and have it sprayed on you.

I bought this scent yesterday. It smells very nice on my skin, vanilla and spice with all things nice.To my nose this scent is very similar to dolce vita.Love it love it love it love it.

I like this scent in spite of the fact that it lacks some originality.
I used to wear Amarige a lot and this one is another fragrance, not a flanker and not similar. Mariage is much warmer and it has a strong scent of cinnamon which is just delicious on my skin. I wouldn't call this just floral, because flowers are only a part of the whole scent. It's a warm spicy floral and it also has something in common with the '80s. I have a small decant and wear it sometimes, not often, especially on colder days.
It smells very similar to Dolce Vita without the strong woody note of the drydown.

Aw...
ful...

The only thing I like is the advertisement : the grass, the dress and the red hair!
Sorry once again.

Nothing special, nobody will remember you wearing it, not long lasting either!

This is a very beautiful scent.Warm,sweet and I think it will be my new favorite,I could wear this every day!

On me it smells exactly like Burberry Brit. The jasmine ruins everything.

Ohh i love it,it smells like dolce vita with cinnamon.To me this one is better then Amarige..

though I don't like classic bottles,the bottle of this re-edition is very nice and lovely and the scent is good too.
the only amarige series I've smelled are the original one and this one and I can say I like this version more than the original one.although the original version is a perfume with personality,to me it's old fashioned,but this one is floral without overwhelming.
my nose can't recognize these notes listed here,but the whole fragrance is a very mild and soft floral scent.
it doesn't have signature of amarige smelling,but it has the signature of givenchy fragrances.it has the same mild flowers scents mixed with warm notes of sandalwood and patchouli smelling,like versions of irresistible,but in a more classic flacon.
by the way,don't trust the notes.it doesn't smell like the composition of the notes.try it.it's lovely,but not describable.

Oh my God I finally found my signature smell.I love it ,love it ,looooove it!sweet warm oriental with citrus notes and spiceness.I love the way it lasts,sooo hypnotizing!Men love it too;).It reminds me a lot of Organza Indecence ,which i also like,but this one is suitable for all seasons,Indecence is more for autumn-winter time.

For my nose it smells very much like Dior Dolce Vita and Organza Indecence: the winning composition of bergamot-cinnamon-sandalwood-patchouli is definitely here. I did not detect any presence of the flowers at all. It is quite strange (for me anyway) that this fragrance is put in floral category.
The verdict: if you happend to have either Dolce Vita or Organza Indecence you can skip this one.

It's smell good in the base - warm cinnamon with sandalwood sweet notes. But in first thirty minutes after spray, mix of jasmine and magnolia on my skin worked not very well.

I am a real "Amarige" fan, and I was looking to replace my supply at the local overstock store, and found "Amarige Mariage" instead, so I gave it a try. At first, I was very disappointed- I smelled nothing of the heady, sophisticated white florals of the original. After it settled down, it developed the most delicious creaminess that for all the world smells like vanilla, though no vanilla is listed in its notes. The white florals also peeked through, creating an overall warm, flowery, and lovely scent which I must say I like just as much as the original!

I just simply don`t care for this one...God knows I tried. But I can`t. Fruity, flowery, boring.May be a scent for a bridesmaid - no sex and no romance.Should not be tied to Amarige and have a different name, but to think of that - probably wouldn`t sell for such a price then.Love the bottle though.

If you don't like orientals, you won't like this one. It's very like Samsara. Sweet orange, sweet light sandalwood and vanilla predominate and end this fragrance. It's lovely, but it's also layered and can be heavy on the wrong chemistry.

it's like warm winter

I absolutely LOVE this perfume!! One of my favorite fall/winter scents!

I like it more than original Amarige.It is softer , warmer, a bit of sweeter, though not sweet, and with a dash of spiceness, not bad, not bad, but dry dow is a bit too much on the sour side for me.

odio a este perfume!!! es totalmente comun, no es especial, parece la fragancia barata de un desodorante

I finally got the chance to smell this today (I got curious after reading coco76's review ;-)! And I have to say: I was VERY surprised...! It has much more fruity notes than I ever expected! That's why I at first thought that this is not my kind of perfume. At the beginning it is really fresh with some sweet (I find it a bit candy-like) notes. Then, after 10 minutes or so I get the magnolia (wow!) and jasmine notes. About the same time the patchouli, which I really LOVE, comes around. The best part is when the woody notes come to my nose... This is really an unusual, beautifully blended and romantic scent!

attractive and sexy you will never get bored of it but very expensive

I got a sample, but I was disappointed. Its made for old brides.... Brrrrrrrrr!:P

Abosolutely Horrible. Cant get past the initial smell of the perfume, that I have to wash it off straight away. I loved the original Amarige, I wore it on my wedding day, but this one just doesnt compare at all.

A very sexy and lovly scent for her, appealing notes that attracts and attracts......

oh my god, i got a sample of this free when i ordered a mini from someone on ebay....i absolutely LOVE this fragrance. The only problem is I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE..and by that i mean anywhere within shipping range to Canada that is not going to cost me an arm and a leg. any suggestions? this is another one that should be used sparingly and goes a long way.

This scent is very different from the original. One of the modern tutty fruty perfumes.
A new limited edition, Amarige ylang-ylang is also modern, but it belongs to Amarige family. But this doesn't.
