Base Notes
its the best perfume i had in my life,i love it!
I still have a small bottle, feel disapointed that YR discontinued the line...it gets me in the mood for love... and i'm 30!!
Taken from Yves Rocher's web site, the notes are:
Mirabelle, Blackcurrant, Plum, Ylang-Ylang, Amber, Rockrose and Sandalwood.
Ode à l'Amour is a sweet and heavy perfume with excellent longevity and incredible sillage.
As soon as I spray it, I can smell the intensely sweet, full and round scent of plums (as if they were taken from a cake) and sandalwood.
Ode à L'Amour does not change much on my skin but it is still quite complex and multidimensional.
When I press my nose against my skin, close my eyes and breathe in, I get warm plums and plum cake with oriental sandalwood and light redcurrant (bitter and fresh), rose, (cool, slightly sweet), ylang-ylang (rich, full) and amber (soft, cuddly).
All in all Ode à L'Amour is sweet, heavy and longlasting and projects very well.
A great fragrance, of course it was discontinued...
It remind me of caramel. But I liked it:)
I used up a full bottle of this in high school, I believe. That was about 6 years ago, but I remember loving it. It was warm, fruity, and incredibly rich and...thick. I am utterly heart broken that Yves Rocher discontinued the Ode series.
This perfume seemed a bit too girlish for me, though I enjoyed the intriguing spicy-peppery note in it. It's recommendable for a younger audience, though I'm not sure if it could be still purchased from Yves Rocher.
i had it when i was 14-15. now i'm 23 and i want it badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unfortunately there's no Yves Rocher in the country i live now.
In my early twenties I liked it : nice, romantic, a good day-wear scent. Something that fits to "your first love". Today I wouldn't buy it anymore :)
I had it in my early 20's , when it first came out .
It's a very pretty scent, not very distinctive , but very pleasant to wear , fruity , romantic and fortunately not too sweet . Moreover it's really affordable . Worths to be buyed.
Can be gifted to a "perfume beginner" , for a nice step into the "world of scents " .
It was one of my favorite EDT when I was 17, now I'm 32 and it is too sweet and not enough sophisticated. For young girls.
A few days ago, I discovered Ode à l'amour Passionnément and Tendrement and it gave me the idea to taste it again. Perhaps I could love it again ? But I'm pretty sure that Ode à l'amour Passionnément will be my favorite one because it's the most accomplished, according to me.
Thanks Icekat for adding the notes you could find!!
Ode à l'amour is charming and romantic. It reminds me of spring in Paris with romance and love in the air. It is pretty, youthful and alluring. It makes me think of a bouquet of gorgeous pink roses. There are no roses in this perfume but the soft floral heart with a touch of spicy plum creates the scent that reminds me of a fine rose perfume.
The plum notes are beautiful in this perfume with a touch of spice and black current. In the heart notes, the plum notes are masterfully combined with ylang-ylang. The scent is not heavy but it has substance and beautiful presence. The scent continues into the base note but retains this beautiful soft fruity floral quality.
I always get compliments when I wear this scent. People describe it as soft, romantic and charmingly sweet but not overpowering.
Notes from Yves Rocher UK site: Mirabelle Plum, Currant Blossom, Damason Plum, Ylang-Ylang, Amber, Cistus, and Sandalwood.
I absolutly loved this fragrance, I was very dissapointed when it disappeared.
Ode à l'amour is one of the sweetest scents I have ever owned.
I loved the plum explosion that happened with it.
It brings back memories.
At the first glimpse it is a typical fragrance for teenage girls - very fruity, transparent and fresh; with no heavy tones to disturb its youthfulness. There is something about this perfume, however, which makes mature women like it too. Spicy notes add to the scent a little sharpness, ripe fruits bring the idea of feminine sensuality... I still don't know what should I think of this, whether it is a masterpiece or just a piece of very good job. It's not quite suitable for the day nor for the evening but so pleasant that I cannot help wearing it. Confusing as it may be, it is worth trying it.
I used to have this several years ago and I remember smelling a note of rose in this one. I don't think I liked this very much... I had this so long time ago so I don't remember exactly. But I remember my mum kept complaining that this had a too strong smell. :)
perfume maravilhoso deixa a mulher com um cheiro delicioso.
this is a romantic and captivating fragrance. one of the best I have ever smelt.
so completely kissable!!!! a ladies favorite with passionate aromas to captivate any heart! one of my best choices yet!
Notes:
Sub-titled 'an elixir de parfum', a fruity floral fragrance with notes of currant blossom, Mirabelle plum, Damason plum, cistus, ylang-ylang, amber and sandalwood
I used to wear this a lot back when I was a teenager (my signature scent). I had the sparkly body lotion as well. Oh, I felt so pretty when wearing this:) I'm actually looking for a similar, but a bit more grown up, fragrance now.
Edit: I had to buy it again after all these years. I have to admit it's not the same as I remember. Much more spicy. It's good, but not fantastic.
Edit II: I guess my skin chemistry was a bit off when I wore this couple of months ago, because now it is just as I remembered it. Plummy, creamy, rich and sweet yet calm and sensual fragrance. One of my favorites by Yves Rocher, still.
have this one smells very soft yet roamantic at the same time.
This is sweet and soft fragrance, not too much going on and the smell is pleasant and cosy with simple and tender notes.
On my skin it turns into a warm, sweet powdery plum and a hint of black currant creating a perfect little edge othervice a bit dull plum note and a tender woody base preventing it from getting overly sugary or plain fruity.
Adorable...right in between "little girl" and "woman". Not weightless and mindless but not heavy and matronly. Girly...but this is a grown woman reminiscing of girlhood nostalgically (and not in a deluded sad way.)
This wonderful little fragrance is one of my favorites. It starts of with a fruity fragrance and transforms into a sandal-woody scent that is so relaxing.
And at $9 dollars....who could ask for anything more.
Wonderfully sweet, warm, sexy and rich scent. Another great combination from Yves Rocher.
Like some of the other reviewers, this is also one of my first bottles of perfume. It's a very warm and fruity fragrance. If I was younger, I'd probably still wear it, but it better suits young teens now. I'll always have fond feelings for this fragrance because it reminds me of my wonder years.
This was one of my first perfumes I remeber that Dad bought it for me after a buisness trip in Leon. I remember it being very floral and sweet but otherwhise I can't remember much about this scent...
This perfume was one of my firsts, i got it when i was 11 i think and i also had the cream-perfume version of it. I just remember that i really liked this fragrance, its sweet, a little bit fruity and soft. A nice everyday scent for spring or autumn, not overpowering and long lasting. The flacon with the pink-water is also cute and unique.
The first time I sniffed this eau de toilette from a paper strip I was delighted by its fruitiness and sensuality so I ordered a flacon straight away. But after trying it on my skin I realized it made me feel physically sick. Too overpowering, too sickly sweet, the strenght of amber clashed violently with overripe fruits such as cassis or mirabelle plum making this concoction unbearable. It leaves a rancid drydown so definitely a no-no unless you have a strong stomach.
i have one at home for a very long time now but i just can not say that i like it very much..
it is too spicy for me..and also to hard to wear.
I expected much subtle fragrance than I found. It's too musky and strong. Bottle is so simple and cute...and the smell is loud and hard to grasp, even though there's not much in there. I gave it to my friend, Merry Christmas ! :)
This is an interesting mix of plum and blackcurrant that make a mouthwateringly juicy, yet twisty, combination together. Amber pushes very strongly through fruity notes giving it warmth, depth, spicyness and irresistibly funky attitude. It's a loud, positively distinctive and confident fragrance for confident women.
I didn`t expect much and therefore was not disappointed. It` s rather pleasant, and I love the plum note and the sour twist of black currant - but after half an hour it starts having a very distinct note of over ripe fruit.Probably just my skin chemistry, but it made the fragrance smell kind of cheap.
This used to be my signature fragrance - I used to wear it ALL the time and put on the sparkly lotion every night before bed. It appears, unfortunately, that they may have discontinued this fragrance, and I was caught without a stockpile, so I'll be out soon, which is too bad, because I loved the mixture of fruit and spice.
the smell is warm and for me a bit oriental, which doesent rally suit the bottle, and by the way the bottle is very similar to noah perle, at first sight, but i like it, one of my favourites from yves rocher
