Amande Sucree Sinfonia di Note for women

This is a big "NO" for me! What a disappointment! As a lover of almond/heliotrope based fragrances, I had great expectations about this one. I imagined something in the kind of Mazzolari Alessandro, or Farmacia Ss. Annunziata Cara, or Etro Heliotrope...for me, this is rather similar to Dior Hypnotic poison!!! I thought there was the anise or liquorice note in this fragrance, it's pretty clear on my skin! But in the fragrance notes it's not listed...maybe it's the bergamot + jasmin that ruines this parfum...but it's not as soft, powdery, sweet as a fragrance of almond or heliotrope should be (IMHO!).

Delicious toasted bitter vanilla almonds wafting through the air on a chilly breeze. Thick and heady. There is a lovely ambery warmth to this, and I can definitely detect the jasmine - which keeps it from becoming too foody. I think the notes mingle very well. Very cozy. Perhaps good for sweater weather. Reminds me a tad of Hypnotic Poison, but more feminine, natural, and slightly delectable. Sillage is good. You can definitely sense it surrouding you and so can others. Pretty longlasting as well.
This is a beautiful fragrance.

I have tried another Amande Sucree from Ava Luxe I think and it was divine. This one just has too much going on really, the jasmine gives a very indolic feel to the opening which is quite long lasting, and there is just a hint of a sweet, powdery almond in the background. It might be jasmine or the sandalwood, but theres a sharp rootyness that really annoys me. It has decent sillage.
