Amoureuse by Parfums DelRae

At first application I was reminded of Alberto V05 Hot oil hair treatment. It just had a thickness to the opening that reminded me of oil. The tuberose is fine but I'd prefer a little less jasmine. Give it about an hour though and the honey is more evident which I prefer. Luckily the cedar is retiring but so are the florals and oak moss which is too bad. On the low end of like for me and that's only because of the appealing honey drydown. If the opening continued in strength, it'd be on the dislike list for me.

"Amoureuse" is a "modern" chypre. Roudnitska chose tuberose and oakmoss as the basis—those are big, challenging, opinionated smells going at one another. But the results are a symphony.

In wearing “Amoureuse,” I’ve recorded the following impressions: “sparkling pink tuberose and pale green cardamom bubbles;” “marvelous hot buttered Kettle Corn;” “the loveliest lightly-mulled chamomile tea and honey you ever tasted.” And finally, “the happy intersection where cinnamon meets champagne.”
I LOVE "Amoureuse."

Here we have some true flower power! I applied Amoureuse EDP to my wrists and the tops of my forearms approximately 12 hours ago, and the fragrance is still going strong in both spots. That is very impressive for a floral scent in eau de parfum concentration!

Amoureuse starts out juicy and subtly sweet, like slicing into a ripe melon. The sweetness here is very different from the sugared berries and buttery vanillas that are common in so many modern fragrances.

This gentle sweetness gives way (after several hours! These are some of the longest-lasting top notes I've had the pleasure of wearing!) to beautiful floral notes with a whisper of green. The usually-loud tuberose and jasmine present themselves as a gentle floral bouquet in Amoureuse, with neither one competing for attention. My nose doesn't detect the cedar, cardamom or oakmoss as individual notes, but the fragrance has a bit of a green undertone, like a new green twig snapped from a tree in Springtime. The green aroma becomes more detectible as the fragrance dries down.

I am not sure what accounts for this, but I also perceive a cooling sensation in my nostrils when I sniff this fragrance.

Amoureuse is beautiful, feminine, complex and modern, even though it contains many traditional perfume notes. It's a masterful blend whose whole is greater than its parts. At he same time, you could stop the evolution of this fragrance at any point and the aroma would be very pleasant and wearable. To me, that's a mark of high quality.

A beautiful mysterious masterpiece, a slow unfolding epic of honey infused with white flowers heady and sweet rests in the slender bark of a cedar tree. My husband love it, and it turns heads!

Tuberose and cardamom. I get mostly cardamom and my sister gets gorgeous velvety tuberose with notes of cardamom.

Herad it on Nowsmellthis that has similarities to Le Parfum de Therese (Frederic Malle) but having had samples of both I think the link is mostly psychological as the perfumers are fathers and son (Roudnistska). Commonalities include the fact that both are fruity chypres.
