Kenzo Amour Florale by Kenzo

Aroussa

Hmmm... just sprayed this on my wrist, so can only share a first impression. Very simple, strong, floral scent that would have been better as a fancy air-freshner, in fact, reminds me of the smelll of one of the air freshner cans we keep in my office rest-room. Sorry, but this is just not so good...annoying even!

It smells somth like Dior cherie l'eau and Dior J'adore l'eau, and i like it. i feel gardenia very well, this scent make me happy and easier life view like first spring flowers, like first love. Very young, sexy and lovely!

Even don't know...I don't understand it at all for the moment...Too floral and very simple. Nothing special at all. Reminds very much of cheap liquid soap in my office ladies' toilet. :( Not lasting (1 hour maximum). Wearing it just for 2 days trying to find something about it, but still nothing...:( (I'm really tired a bit of floral fragrances, but this one is the greatest disappointment.)Just the bottle is very beautiful and special.

Kenzo`s Amour Florale is an ode to first love.

It is Youthful.
Like Billy Idols Sweet Sixteen, silk hair and hollow jeans.
It is Timid.
Feeling of butterflies in the gut and weakening of knees barely from looking at another person.
It is Shy.
The stolen kiss on the front porch, and anonymous love letter.
It is Happy.
Disbelieving in evil and sad, running with closed eyes and never falling down. Feeling safe like a child in mothers arms.

Both breathtaking, the first love and Amour Florale.

This is the freshness that I've been looking for summer days. Energetic and flowery. After 2 hours it resembles shiseido energising fragnance on me....I ll buy it asap.

I don't find it powdery , it is quite sharp and zesty after dry down thanks to the grapefruit which is quite annoying....it smells like soap or linen spray....i think it is lacking originality, although the bottle and the ad are both beautifull the content is disappointing.

Smells like Marc Jacobs. Fresh gardenia, very nice

Nor similar to the tradicional one, it is very flowery (gardenia) and powdery. It is a luminous and light scent.

A great summer scent! I just love love love love love the beautiful bottle! My favorite of the Amour bottles for sure! Absolutely stunning! The original Amour is still my fav. from Kenzo but Florale is definately my new #2! I just might have to get me a bottle!

NuriaRose

The best fragrace for this summer 2009
i can swore that i smell Orange blossom
actually its the dominate note- on the bottle box there is note list and its include frangipani blossom maybe is it!
i am not agree with the previous review that its the same like dior shine- i can not find the similarity between them,maybe dior escale & prtofino
very soapy, very very flowery like living indise of blooming flower

*sigh*
Yet another disappointment from Kenzo... Amour Florale is rather ordinary bouquet of indistinguishable white flowers (mostly gardenia) mixed with cedar "base". Very similar to Dior Dior Addict Shine.
Where is an innovation spirit these days???

Amour florale has very little in common with the classical Amour. I sprayed it on my skin today and I was surprised - all the flowers that were supposed to be there (roses, neroli, gardenia, frangipani blossoms) blended into a nice, fresh and innocent forget-me-nots solifloral laying on the vanilla base!It is a great floral fragrance which I would love to have in my collection.
The staying power is great.

Extremely clean, fresh, a bit cold scent for warm weather. Amazingly long lasting on my skin. I can feel the soapy neroli in the begining, then comesreally sensual gardenia. If you breathe in deep you can feel the rose. I like it a lot. And it's different.

All I could smell was gardenia, nice but at the price and name I surely expect something else, more interesting than just the smell of one flower, doesn' last long also...

I smelled this perfume today and I find it it very ''femme fatale''! I don't like distinguishing perfumes ingredients, for me is the result that counts.But I have one question: isn't it very similar to ANGE OU DAIMON EAU DE TOILETTE?

I was really curios about this fragrance because I bought it one week ago without trying. It arrived in white box with white bird which perfectly describes this fragrance. When I flashed up on this box with light at night I found out that the box was shimerring,...I like everything with glitters so that is the reason why I don't put it to the trash.

The bottle also perfectly goes together with scent. Shape is identically very elegant like in case of previous Kenzo Amour. But the colour is much more interesting. It is crystal clear at the bottom and at the top too. From the ends it is starting to be misty with hint of white colour and in the midle of the bottle it is alburn white.

But you know, the most important thing is fragrance. So first of all as it is written/perfume is intended for spring or summer. Summer scent are generally light, not too strong, and from time to time not long-lasting. This fragrance is real negation of that characterization. In general it is very very very strong. When I first sprayed it I was shocked. This is not my type of scent BUT when I sprayed it again, I found out that it is grateful. It is soapy and little bit powdery, white, flowery, not romantic but casual fragrance.

Top notes:
I am smelling something very strong sharp and chemical. But fortunately just for few seconds. After that I notice black currant with drop of grapefruit and lily of the valley. This flower is noticeable for all time in all fragrance levels. I dislike this top notes, because I have a strong headache from it.

Middle notes:
Again: I smell lily of the valley and gardenia. I think that there is another level between middle notes and base notes. You can feel it after 3-4 hour. In this case it is composed by gardenia at first with frangipani - this gives to this fragrance cleanness and freshness, so as for me this is the element which makes this fragrance suitable for spring or summer time. For addition: yes, there is rose but virtually unnoticeable. You are only sure that somewhere in the background is something like rose.

Base notes:
It is interesting, the part of the fragrance, which I like the most is mostly the middle. But in this fragrance i like the most the base notes. Base notes consist of cedar moschus and frangipani and hint of rose. For my nose it is great pleasure. When my boyfriend smelled it for the first time he felt sick, but after few hours he was suprised how can be this perfume beautiful.

Conclusion:
If you want perfume which will be completely unique, if you want to smell like femme fatale who knows what she want and who gets what she want, if you don't want to smell like candy or fruit, if you want to invest in good quality,.. this perfume is created to YOU. But be careful during application - as I mentioned - it is really strong.

Unfortunately, it doesn't smell like Amour at all. It reminds me of Escale à Portofino, Miss Dior Chèrie and Chanel Eau Fraîche. It's easier to wear in summer than Amour, though.

Mellyhelly

A very delicate yet tenacious fresh floral, gentle, lovely, iced, perfect on a hot day, feminine, almost frilly.
It seems that flowers are smelt through a thin wall of cold water. Jasmine and Frangipanier are there, maybe neroli. As per the other notes listed above, where are they? All I can smell in Eau Florale are these flowers and cold water, but it is so tenacious is has to be well fixed indeed.

Iced florals with a hint of vanilla cream. It gets into your nose and awakens your mind. Very refreshing. Different to the other editions. More subtle and refined.
