i have a sample of this, and i definitely get a “play-doh” vibe. Its not horrible, but on me it is powdery, sweet, a bit nutty, but not a winner for me.

If you sprinkled sugar on top of L’Artisan Parfumeur’s Bois Farine, put it in a tray made of fresh green bamboo, and stuck it in the oven, Amande Sucree is what you would get.
The sweet vegetal nuttiness I detect is truly delectable, but it’s not so sweet that my teeth hurt… Rather, it’s sweet and dry at the same time, and it feels like a very grown-up almond. It’s like eating an almond eclair.
Still too sweet for skin though… This will be used as a room spray, just like I did with Bois Farine. 🙂

I am so in love with this, I just wanted to add or rather to emphasize that if you like prada canday you will absolutely love this. AND if you don’t like prada candy, I still think you will love this. lol… just so tight, so well put together, superior extracts used, BRAVO
After wearing for a few weeks, I have to say that I find it to be what I thought poison hypnotic sensuelle shouldh’ve smelled like. IT smells like the original, refined and more elegant, higher quality extracts are used here. Fabulous!

This is a very ”classy” semi gourmand. I love it, it’s wonderful, but if you are looking for something like Luten’s ‘louve’ (which is to me a jasmine almond)or Keiko Mecheri’s ‘louhkoum’ (which to me is a rose heliotrope almond)….then look elsewhere. This is by far closer to Prada Candy (this is what I thought prada candy should smell like)only higher quality ingreediants.. not as sweet and more of a real perfume factor rather than just being a gourmand fragrance. (also I just barely see the hypnotic poison connection, it’s really a very different perfume) It starts off with that same real almond note as well as what smells like anise…. has something slightly fresh about it or like a ‘new’ kind of smell, not a new car smell……I cant put my finger on it, but I know I recently purchased an expensive something…. and when I opened the box…. it had a similar note. This is definently a subtle , grown up .. elegant, semi gourmand. I will report on the longevity and sillage later. (a side note) this makes me feel calm and grown up and I’ll use the word ”elegant” again 🙂
and uhhhemmm, After wearing a bit, I now realize this is very much like louve, only that louve has more jasmine and is well ”stronger” all around…but yes, very similar. If you like louve but is too strong for you and has too much jasmine, this might be right up your alley

This is the best almond scent I have ever tried. I ordered a sample from luckyscent a few years ago, but this perfume is no longer available on that site.
At first it is slightly bitter and offputting, as it smells very rooty and woodsy like the brown peely skin on the outside of a real almond. But don’t let that scare you away.
After a few minutes it becomes a heavenly cloud of sweet heliotropic almond and fresh bergamot. It has wonderful sillage which wraps itself around you in a veil of fluffy, cuddly warmth. It is also incredibly nuzzle-worthy and sexy and lasts more than four hours.
Sadly, this is pretty much impossible to find in the U.S. and is expensive.

As others have mentioned this has notes which can call to mind Hypnotic Poison. I love Hypnotic Poison, and right after spraying Amande Sucree I also detect a powdery-rosin-almond note that reminds me of Hypnotic Poison. However, after about 20 seconds Amande Sucree is a completely different fragrance (on my skin). Amande Sucree is sweet, dessert, light; and if “fluffy” had an aroma, it would be an accord in this perfume. If I had to compare Amande Sucree to another fragrance, the first one that comes to mind is Talco Delicato. It shares an unabashed cuddliness with Lea St. Barth as well, but Lea is much earthier. HP is a very sexual scent to me,and Lea is deceptively sensuous, but Amande Sucree is a soft daytime scent that stays very close to skin. Unlike HP or Lea, It is unlikely to cause every male downwind of it to salivate uncontrollably. Although, as I said, I do love Hypnotic Poison, frankly Amande Sucree smells “higher quality” to me; possibly this is why it evoke Talco Delicato. Amande Sucree, like the whole Sinfonia line, is incredibly seamless, and it becomes a part of the wearer. I have never heard a comment about smelling an awkward bitterness (cedar), or the infamous “play-doh” note with this airy scent.

I’m kind of sad. I had a sample of this and evidently I loved it, because I ordered a full bottle last year.
I understand why it lured me. Sweet, almond, some flowery air about it, and heavy. I am in the mood for such things in the winter.
But now … it seems to be too sweet and heavy for me. A too – thick cloud surrounding me, a little claustrophobic feeling. I’m not giving up, though. Maybe when it’s freezing outside and I intend to stay under cover reading a delicious novel for a whole day long, I will love Amande Sucre again.

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.
