I dont get any fruits at all..mostly a woodsy base..this isnt a light scent, rather a serious perfume..quite old fashioned in my opinion..I am not crazy about the marigold notes either..I can see it would be pleasant on someone else BUT me!

This brings back wonderful memories for me! The first time I purchased was 11 years ago in duty free at the airport in Zimbabwe. We were returning from an amazing honeymoon visiting Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River and we both fell in love with this spicy, sophisticated floral. Loved the pink pepper! Wore like a dream in our tropical climate back home and I remember people often stopped me to compliment me. An exceptional fragrance with a hip, edgy elegance to it. Staying power on me was okay, but still definitely a keeper in my book. For years I couldn’t find it anywhere, but now I will most certainly be repurchasing.

Very green, moist and chilly due to nettle note. Suitable for hot days.

Floral-woody.

More modern version of Amarige from 1991.
It's name is a tribute to Alexander McQueen, who was connected with Givenchy couture house and whose works are described as bold, provocative and extravagant.

A perfume made for unpredictable women: silent on midday, on fire at midnight, ideal wifes and excellent lovers.

The streamlined shape of the bottle brings to mind a silhouette of unusually shapely woman. The plug reminds a flame and references to McQueen's shows - full of fire.

Probably the fave among the Amarige family.It has an aura of freedom about it, the openness of mind, the bravery of heart.It`s probably my favorite marigolds that are creating this magic!When I smell it, I have a feeling I am freely running through the fields under the hot sun, not worrying about a thing.Strange how some scents can create a world inside of them.

It is a very special fragrance. At first green, then becomes spicy. I love it! Suitable for hot days.

Much better to wear now when it´s hot. It smells stronger and longer. The soapyness is gone and the drydown smells much better than earlier...

Very fresh, very green and very clean. I so love the nettle in the topnote, it smell a bit unusual. This is a not a mainstreamfragrance, it´s not for everyone. The wild strawberrys are quite shy, but (the only thing)longlasting and the flowers blend together without one of them being dominant. Unfortunatly this is a discrete almost weak fragrance on me, I can´t hardly notice it after about one hour... the only thing that remains is a wiff of clean and fresh soapyness, nice but not at all enough to make me love this perfume. I think it´s more suitable for the hot summer... My husband likes it.
