Ode a L`Amour Passionnement Yves Rocher for women

More sophisticated than Ode à l'amour. It's sweet and lovely. Not too much vanilla : just enough to make a delicious fragrance which suits to young women, not only for girls. I'm happy to find a "better" Ode à l'amour. It reminds me of Cacharel delicate perfumes. Good lasting power.

Not very different from Ode a l'amour IMO, but stronger and sweeter (only in the opening really). I can definitely tell there's vanilla in this, but green apple and pepper? I think those escapes me each time in that case. A bit creamy during the drydown. Good lasting power and stays close to the skin.

I love Ode a l'amour and I really like this one, but I don't like that the bottle has a stopper: my sleeve got soaked the first time I applied it. lol. Maybe this is the reason why I find this one stronger than the original: too much applied at once ;)

This particular fragrance is a flanker of Ode a L'amour and was released for a few years around Valentine's Day...it has since been discontinued and that is a shame! The only version was the 30 ml EDT splash but I find the fragrance develops better if you take a small plastic sprayer from a travel spray bottle and insert it into the flacon and apply. It was meant to lay flat so make sure you replace the stopper tightly. I find this to be a more efficient delivery system than splashing in on and it smells better too...

This one appealed to me more than its sister flanker, Tendrement, which was lighter, sweeter and more floral (Notes: sugared & almond harmonies, hawthorn flowers, tonka bean absolute and a clean white musk.) The notes I got from the manufacturer for Passionnement are almost identical to those listed above, but also include black cherry blossom and ylang-ylang...

Where the original Ode a L'amour was a spicy frity construct with a drydown of amber & musk, this one adds a more floral aura to the plum/pepper core and accents this with fruit blossoms and smooth not too stong vanilla musk that blooms wonderfully with the ylang-ylang.
Of the three in the Ode a L'amour line this one blends best with my male skin and though it starts off kinda floral-fruity and femme,the sichuan pepper and musk in the drydown make quite a unique blend...not manly, not girly, and not really unisex; just natural, sweet, slightly floral oriental with a hint of spice. Lovely...

Sillage:decent, fading after a few hrs
Longevity: average (see below)
Overall: 3.25/5

If you are looking for something not everyone else is wearing (PHilton,BSpears,etc...)but still want a floral-fruity-oriental this is the one, if you can find it. It's unique and has okay sillage but the magick of this fragrance is that it lasts well-close to the skin, making it the perfect frag for intimate encounters and I have found internal body heat magnifies the notes making it a stunner when things get "hot & heavy"...;)

This is my first bottle of perfume, I got it as a gift from a friend who came back to China from France several years ago. I used up all of the 30ml one year ago, however I still remember it contains a bunch of white flower notes, so beautiful!!! And maybe it was a little bit strong for me who had never applied any perfume before , but I just like it. The base note is powdery but in a good way, lasting power is great, very cute bottle too. Thanks a lot for my friend, it's a wonderful memory.

Ode a l'amour is pretty much an amor amor wanna be, but is not bad, as usual with YR my complain is the poor lasting power.

Like so much

I've been a huge fan of yves for many years. I love his make up and perfumes. I didn't know he had this one out. gotta get it!

I LOVE yves rocher ode l'amour its my fave perfume of all time along side the new jessica simpson fancy perfume.. its so yummy like candy smell i havent tried this new formula but if its close to the orig its irrisistable.

Lovely!

i can't understand how such sophisticated perfume contains so little ingredients. this is one of my all time favourites. too bad it was only a limitted edition. it's sweet and very feminine, but not in a cheap intoxicating way. i think i remeber why i loved this one: it was an extraordinary combination between cacharel's gloria and givency's hot couture. absolutely lovely...

This scent is just enough different from Ode a l'amour that I didn't much care for it. It's sharper than the original's scent, which was a very lovely, romantic floral reminding me of roses. Also the bottle I received had a stopper in it (as shown above) and the first time I opened it, the thick bit of the stopper fell off and into the perfume, which meant I couldn't close it fully. Most of it evaporated before I could even use it. Pretty shoddy overall.

I think with this perfume it's either you love it or you hate it
