Les Parfums Mythiques - Extravagance d'Amarige Givenchy for women

Interesting thoughts/ feelings a perfumer can bring on mind. I feel like an artist when wearing Les Parfums Mythiques Extravagance. I have weared this now for two days and have a total artist feel. Only Beret and brush is missing atm. ;)

I'm not a big fan of greens, but I find Les Parfums Mythiques - Extravagance d'Amarige really great.

It's green without getting too bitter or tart or sour.
A gentle, slightly floral kind of green.
It reminds me in character of my favourite for spring: Pur Desir de Mimosa by Yves Rocher.

I've smelled the original long time ago. It was more complex and more demanding. This version is softer and easier to wear.

Staying power of over 5 hours on my skin and not too big sillage makes it a good candidate for my spring scent. If only I could meet it again...

Reformulated, sadly. It is more broad specter and probably will attract more fans then the original one, due to better wear-ability. The heart of old Extravagance disappeared, leaving us with a more woodsy, slightly prim composition. I was straining my nose to sniff out the old marigold goodness, but it`s been mercilessly split into atoms.
If one would forget the name and imagine that it`s a completely new scent, all kinds of possibilities to wear it open up. The dry down notes are very classy, a herbaceous mist with a milky dew accord.

I used to love Givenchy Extravagance d'Amarige back in 90's, and remember recieving a lot of positive compliments on it. I would say it's a spicy-green-citrusy scent. The wild strawberry note gently comes through from green-floral base. Lovely summer fragrance. I liked it more than the original Amarige.

Extravagance d'Amarige is a discontinued fragrance, and I was thrilled about the relaunch of Les Parfums Mythiques - Extravagance d'Amarige
I purchased it without testing, but to my dissapontment it's not the same. It lacks of a depth,and staying power of the original . This rather smells like a nic,e cool, slightly flowery lemon sorbet on my skin.
Maybe it is that my body chemistry has changed, or I just remember the original one more complex and yet sexy.
Anyway Iam wearing it, and this is a fresh, uplifting scent for hot and humid summer days.Need to be reapplied quite often though

It's so green and fresh, but the original Extravagance d'Amarige better. It isn't long lasting. I like tangerine and jasmine, but in this perfume not too determining.
