Kenzo Amour Le Parfum Kenzo for women

Amazingly similar to Organza Indecence, especially after a half hour.

Can I say - one of the Kenzoests?
One of the richest smell of seduction, and especially designed for my skin - whenever I wear her, we effortlessly... melt and make everyone else be the same way. It feels like I had a femme fatale girlfriend looking similar to me, wearing the same dress, holding my hand and shamelessly smiling on everyone with beautiful, ivory teeth.

For me, the initial notes of Le Parfum smells like drydown of Lolita Lempicka's "L": incense + vanilla. It's hot. Burns the soul.

Le Parfum smells of rice pudding cooked on an open fire, where the sweet smoke of the burning wood becomes one with the rest of the ingredients. Rich, satisfying and bewitchingly beautiful, particularly on warm summer nights.

I purchased this unsniffed because I'm loving the LE flankers for the more popular original launches of K-Flower and K-Amour. Neither of which impressed me. If the original Amour was just "meh ok" for you or you're looking for its seductress alter ego, give this a try. This is definately a richer, warmer version of the original Amour. To my nose this closely resembles Kenzo Flower Oriental; both are warm, balmy, sensuous and intimate fragrances. BUT for me, there is "something" that keeps this from being in the "OOO I LUV" category alongside Oriental. Maybe because LeParfum is a bit spicier??? Or maybe it's just the the "k-Flower DNA" in Oriental that makes the difference for me. I'm not sure. But I do like it though very much. If you like Kenzo Oriental (which is now hard2find) I highly recommend this little golden jewel.

Im looking forward to trying this one. Sounds scrumptious!:)

It gave me the worst headache of my life, I even got nauseous... not for me at all.
Hate it.

I have to say it again, this is probably the best scent ever invented. My favourite fragrance for fall and winter.

Absolutely adorable!! I also have the original version + indian holi, but this one is simply the best (even it has nothing in common with the other 2 versions, i think).

I tried it in a local mall in winter - then i went home. On my way home (just 5 minutes!) 2 women were asking me which scent i wear. And at home, my mother also told me that i smell sooo good!

The scent is expensive but - spraying once is absolutely enough. Once i sprayed 2 times - gave me a headache, that is just too much.

I love it! Unfortunately, my boyfriend hates it.

i adore this scent, even tho i have never wore it out. it is my "comfort scent" as i call it :) it smells just like sitting by a fireplace, a nice hot cup of tea, all snuggled up on the couch and a vanilla candle burning on the table.

I must stress that if you're interested in this as a more inense version of Amour, be advised that this is very different from the original. You need to try this one out before you buy because it is dominated by benzoin, which amps up the wood and resin spice here and turns it into something different from the vanilla rice pudding smell of the original.

There's still that lovely sweetness from the rice and vanilla, but it is very much in the background only. The incense here is wonderfuly done but I just find that the benzoin ruins it all for me. It drowns out most of the rice pudding goodness that I was hoping would be the dominating force. I blind bought this after trying out Amour Indian Holi, and though the two are nothing alike, even if I have my issues with this one I do have to say that this was an interesting one to smell.

I do agree with others who say that this is what I expected (based off of the name not the notes) Amour Indian Holi to smell like. For those wondering at the difference between the two, Amour Indian Holi is more of a fruity rice pudding scent, with something feminine and clean to it. Amour Le Parfum on the other hand has no fruit at all and is more of a woody rice pudding scent.

hmm it's gorgeous with a capital G :-D a good intense version of the original! now i pray for the intense version of indian holi

This perfume is easy to wear, since it's not overpowering. I like it, but I think it would smell better if the incense was less prominent. I like incense, but I would like to smell the other notes more. I prefer Kenzo Amour Indian Holi.

See, this is what I was expecting when I bought the original Amour and its flanker Indian Holi - spicy, warm rice pudding. Unfortunately, Indian Holi turned out to be a fruity floral over incense, and Amour was a bland but pretty, powdery vanilla rice pudding.

Amour Le Parfum, on the other hand, is the original Amour's rice pudding minus powder and amped up with amber, spices, incense, and even more sweetness. The initial opening has an odd sickly sweet note, but thankfully that fades away in literally less than a minute and leaves my skin scented with a gorgeous spicy version of Kenzo Amour. It reminds of visiting my aunts and going to a Hindu temple, what with the sweet incense and milky desserts of the temple melding with the flowery scent of my aunts' perfumes. This is undoubtedly a well executed scent, but it's just a bit too familiar to me that I don't think I'll feel comfortable wearing it.

when I first smelled it I knew that I wanted it. I´ve been craving for it since it was launched and I finally bought it some time ago as a birthday present for myself. It´s very spicy and warm and I can actually smell the rice:)It´s sooo delicious and I love the incense in it!For me, this is the perfect scent for autumn!

Amour smells like propolis (the resinous mixture made by honeybees with antibiotic properties) which gives the sticky sweet note and vanilla rice milk. A golden sweet gourmand scent, soft like a cashmere sweater. Perfect for cold weather.

I tried it once and, as much as I love Le Tigre, Elephant, Madagascar, Ca Sent Beau, Le Monde Est Beau, I couldn't truly like Amour Le Parfum.

There was too much incense and rice on me and the scent was tiring. But Amour Le Parfum did conjure a picture in my mind. I saw tops of oriental churches in my mind, painted in white and white oriental houses. It was an interesting trip :)

I think the fragrance has something in common with Flower by Kenzo le Parfum: the milky feeling.

Bottle is pretty and I remember lasting power was very good.

Oh! My sweet, woody, gorgeous baby!! Where have you been all my life! You last and last and I can smell you all day (without sniffing my wrist)!

panterachik, thank you for the sample!

Une chambre,
Un voil qui entour,
Un peu d'incense misterieux,
Un peu d'intrique,
Pui ... un silance douce, chaud et tres feminine.
J'ai reconue - j'ai essaye Amour Le Parfum par hazard et un peu du curiosite. Et je suis recompense par une experience inoubliable - feminite par Kenzo, souligne des essence de bois d'Asie.
Note 8/10

The original Amour was just a bit too milky for my liking, I'm not sure what it was, I loved it when I sprayed in the store, but now its just a bit..so-so on me.
I really like this version of Amour, I just have the 30ml size, not obsessed with the bottle, but its attractive in an unusual way. This is very spicy and a bit incense-y, but after a while it dries down to original Amour (milky rice pudding, musk, vanilla) but with a bit of a 'kick' to it, which I prefer. Do recommend it, but not as a must-have - in my opinion.
Sillage - definitely not that good for me anyway, longevity - 4 hours approx on my 'perfume eating' skin.

I didn't like it much. Also I thought that the Amour variations smell very much a like, just with tiny bits added. In the end it all came down to Amour again and the added notes faded.

ok..i used to own the original Amour. Loved it. Kinda started moving away from it due to the fact that it reminded me of an ex..needless to say. I'm over all that and have reconnected with this amazing perfume. I bought the LeParfum..no regrets. I am reminded of the original..only on a much more powerful and deeper level. Very rich, the woods, vanilla, and incense come through in such an exotic way. A little definitely goes a long way...perfect for rainy days. Super quality perfume..Kenzo makes wonderful, high-quality perfumes...love'em!!

I adore this perfume. It smells so good on my skin. My teenage daughter came home from school today and said that I smelled beautiful! WOW, that says alot because she's very picky about smells like her MOMMA. LOL
Anyway I love the vanilla, soft patchouli and incense, it shows up perfectly in the dry down. If you test Kenzo Amour please give it a chance to do its magic. Too many times I will reject a perfume too quickly. To me its a very romantic smell...I am in love....again. ;-)
*Update...Silage is wonderful and it lasts a very long time. This morning I woke up and could still smell this awesome fragrance on my skin!

Strong, spicy, syrupy-sweet. It comes closer to Amour Indian Holi than to the original Amour. Personally, I prefer the original Amour - it is much softer, more delicate and sensual. When I am in the mood for a more intense verssion of Kenzo Amour, I reach for Play for her Intense (Givenchy). But Kenzo Anour remains my all-time favourite.

I bought this blind based on my appreciation of Flower le Parfum over the original. I must admit this has come to disappoint me. It's a beautiful scent but not as beautiful as the rest in my collection. It does have a nice dash of spice, benzoin and amber to beef things up a bit and this works really well under the frangipani. You can still smell the rice aroma from the original but this version is much drier and very flat.

The bottle is stunning, it lasts forever and is a good choice for winter.

Woohoo! Another great Fragrantica-inspired blind buy!

Now, I had the original Amour a couple years before and this, to my nose, doesn't share much of its DNA at all. It's rather a different take on the theme than mere concentration upgrade. For me these two scents are perfectly represented by their respective flacons: whereas Amour the original is all about smooth off-white opacity, this version possesses an iridescent golden hue, there's an ever so slight rasp to its voice, akin, in a way, to the sound of two layers of organza being rubbed between one's fingers. Which brings me to my main point. I bought Amour le Parfum mainly because some of the reviewers here likened it to the vintage Organza Indecence by Givenchy, whose discontinuation was a truly sad loss for me, and secondly because I started missing Amour, an almost full bottle of which I had the stupidity to give away and failed to replace since.
This little gem now has me content and sure that, for the time being, I've found a worthy replacement for my lamented Organza Indecence. As for my Amour cravings, I'll still have to get a bottle of Amour proper.

varm spices golden caramelad vanilla sooo gooood soo magnificant incens sooo sexy !!!!

yes BEATRIX YOU HAVE RIGHT ITS VERY GOOD THIS PERFUME EVEN BETER THEN THE ORIGINAL AMOUR BECOZE ITS MORE POWERFULL AND SPICES AND SWEET LOVELY

omg its smell soooo good on my skin sooo lo9ng lasting all the day oriental spices caramell vanilla and cream sooo good i love this staf just loooovvvee!!

Not expected this at all! I was going to travel by airplane, and went into a shop to let myself smell like the nice creamy kenzo amour which would also not annoy others around me. I saw this edition, and though it would have better staying power or so, and I spritzed it.. one two three.. four times (maybe five). Ojojoj. I went out as a cream and spice BOMB. I almost choked myself, and I suppose I did a few others too. Happily my flight was delayed so the perfume had the time to fade away a little before gassing the whole airplane. Don't get me wrong, the perfume is delicious actually. It is kenzo amour with 'óumph'. An evening-dining-fancy-party-dark kenzo. With a big touch of oriental-spice-bazar added. Maybe how I supposed indian holi would be. Very nice, but please, learn from me and be careful. A little bit is enough of this peace of gold.

I love kenzo Amour for its softness and discrete sweetness , so of course i had to try Amour le parfum too!
yes its the same notes,you recognize the Amour ,but.. at first i thought Horray -amour upgraded all inclusive ,more of everything! More intense of the ingredients,more of sweetness,very very much more staying power - top grade!
But then i started feeling a bit put off by it,in a way that amour never made me feel , it just got too much ,too intense.
Yes i like it,but the Amour i love !

I think it is a real oriental. I cannot pull it off since it has very very strong incense notes, but overall I appreciate its quality. Incense is the most dominant note in this perfume, blended with vanilla, amber and patchouli. Very strong, stays on skin very long time.
EDIT: This scent is becoming a masterpiece in cooler weather, noticed that incense notes do not disturb me that much, as it quickly dries down to a wonderful ambery/vanillic base, a great great oriental...

Am I the only one who thinks Amour le parfum smells similar to Organza Indecence? I was really surprised: the drydowns are strikingly similar!

First - I've been using other oriental scents for the past decades, mostly by Chopard: Casmir during winter, Mira-Bai during summer, and similar scents. Now that Mira-Bai isn't with us any longer (and what a sad good-bye it was), I searched for a new and striking fragrance. I found it in Kenzoamour, and fortunately I got the new parfum right away.

The saleswoman told me that it's much too rich for her, and that one dash is enough for a long day. Now, I know that a perfume smells different on different skins, but the difference here was striking. Where it might be too sweet for some, the rich, colourful bright oriental sweetness will be perfect for others - like me! It stays with me all day long, true, but never overwhelmingly, so that I can even dare a dash more, or a renewal 'for an evening.' It's love. I must admit that I can hardly go out without it.

Like a loving cocoon...

This is one of the best orientals i have smelled.Its sweet and spicy,makes you think about places like India or Egypt.Of all the amour frags this is the most special one,the other ones are just sweet nothing special.But this one gives more that special feeling and i love the bottle too.

I have to say NO to this version of Kenzo Amour. Myabe I need to re-test it but I tested it twice and couldn't stand it on my skin. It's very strong and very... ehm.. poo-fecal. This is an effect I usually get from strong artificial musky scents such as Kiehl's Musk (not with NR!). Too bad :-(
The bottle is stunning!

I loved it from the start, bought it. I admired incensy-resinous-spicy opulence of it. I mixed it with Samsara-worked really fine.
I don't know what happened but I just couldn't wear it for much longer, I don't feel incense anymore:( Only flowers 0_o
I'm thinking to hand it down to my sister in law:(((
Will give it a try for one more time, I hope it'll work.

If I love Kenzo Amour, my relation to Kenzo Amour Le Parfum is more like passionate. I´ve got it in a swap recently and oooooooh my god how marvellous it is!

This is Kenzo Amour stepping up to new heights, getting som edge even... If Kenzo Amour is like the ultimate comfort Kenzo Amour Le parfum is the ultimate sensual, sexy comfort... you know the feeling after... Well, no more said about that maybe.

Clean smokiness, resins, soft cherry notes, lingering whispers of vanilla, some caramellised topping on a delicious rice pudding and beautiful oriental flowers blossoming all the way to the end.

Longlasting, soft yet strong, gorgeus bottle, a true work of art.

A must, must, must try!

This one is much more intense than the original Amour. While the original is sweeter, this one is more incensed. As said on the description, it still have the Amour smell, but better improved. I love it.

Im totally agree with BlackAmberMoon.

Also with my skin its a beautiful match :) and very long lasting ¡¡¡ Very captivating ... one of my next adds for sure.

For me, its a delicate and sensual combination of incense and frangipani, with a delicate touch of benzoin -not overpowering-
Make me fell into romantic and positive charm

Much richer and more voluptuous than the EDP version. The amber and incense make it more exotic than the EDP, but it doesn't venture into the "too sweet" category. Very soft and long-lasting. Definintely worth buying if you like the original but wish it had something more...

I have tried the original and I would like to know what this smell's like? What's the difference between them? I've heard this one is more oriental.

I LOVE it! It smells exactly like you can read in the description above, a very well done fragrance. It's an oriental version of Kenzo Amour, with nice warm amber notes. It's not as creamy and delicate as the original, but more mature, more sophisticated, I would say. The staying power is amazing, as well. In this case, the high price ist OK.

very warm, i love it. smells liek spices, carameland vanilla

same idea like the original but i like that one better, i think the edt is strong enough, and this one is already too strong and not as warm as the edt.

what a wonderful poster and bottle!
the scent is purely golden, oriental, warm, dense and caramel :)
