Amour Liquide Memoire Liquide for women

This has a very interesting opening with carmelized sugar, vanilla, and some sort of fruit. The fruit quickly disappears, leaving a burnt-sugar vanilla scent that reminds me of one of the synthetic vanilla fragrance oils that I bought a long time ago to use in soapmaking. There’s musk along with the sugary vanilla, and every so often I get a current of something incensey in the sillage, though not up close. It lasts for 12+ hours on skin, with traces still there the next day. I like it. If you are looking for an extremely tenacious vanilla scent, Amour Liquide is worth a try.

Amour Liquide is another beautiful, good, relatively linear vanilla-dominant, cake-y perfume. It is really similar to La Maison de la Vanille’s Vanille givree des Antilles. More intensive than Vanille givree des Antilles in a sweeter, creamier manner, plus more sweet-cake-sweetness.

Amour Liquide is cosy and would be great for cold weather. However, apply with a light hand because it’s quite potent stuff and too much somehow feels as if I was inhaling solid cake pieces.


Even though I like Amour Liquide, I wouldn’t buy it myself and I’d strongly suggest other vanilla fragrances like Demeter Vanilla Cake Batter for a lighter option, or Vanille givree des Antilles for similar scent but rather better price, or Demeter Black Russian or even Jessica Simpson Fancy for a much creamier yet similar feel.

This opens smelling like the sugary frosting on top of a vanilla cake. Eventually it just smells like vanilla. As for the quality of the vanilla, I can't complain--it's as pure as they come. It's a very creamy, rich vanilla, which reminds me of Victoria's Secret Vanilla Lace back in the 90's before they changed it, like a rich vanilla custard. My issue is that the only thing I smell is vanilla. I definitely would not suggest buying this perfume if you are hoping to smell incense or anything else. This has been done a million times, but for much cheaper.

This is a lovely quality vanilla, not sickly sweet or overpowering. Would be a really great dinner date fragrance.

I just received a bottle of this. Not much to say. It's a very high quality vanilla + woody + a hint of incense. The incense stops it from being a gourmand, and the wood + incense gives a little dark feel to it. It's good for layering and it's good on it's own as well. Silage is average but it stays there at least for 6-7 hours, which is a good thing. Definitely FBW.

Ever since I sampled Indult's Tihota, I've had a desire for a straight up, high quality vanilla. Most Oriental vanillas throw in a gourmand note which turns the fragrance to crap on me, and at $250 a pop, Tihota is a little prohibitive. So I was very, very happy to stumble upon this little dandy at the local Bloomingdales. Smells just like Tihota in the opening. When I sprayed it on my wrists I had a concern about longevity and it seemed to sour a bit, but 2 hours later it has developed into the sultry, smouldering vanilla that I was hoping for. I predict it won't be long before this one pops up in my 'i own' section....
