Amarige Givenchy for women of Givenchy

Share:

Description

The name of the perfume ‘Amarige‘ is an anagram of the French word ‘Mariage.’ That is why this fragrance is as intensive as a strong feeling, merry, juicy and unforgettable as a moment of happy mariage. It is so opulent and floral that it seems like its composition includes all the beautiful flowers that exist in the world.

The Amarige woman is graceful, playful and charming, a real French woman in love. She radiates joy and gives a happy smile. The top notes are composed of fresh fruit: peach, plum, orange, mandarin, with the sweetness of rose wood and neroli. The floral bouquet, very intense and luscious, is created of mimosa, neroli, tuberose, gardenia and acacia with a gourmand hint of black currant. The warm woody base is composed of musk, sandalwood, vanilla, amber, Tonka bean and cedar.
The perfume was created by Dominique Ropion in 1991.

    There is nothing like Amarige. I can’t fathom why some people find it strong and loud. Well, some women can’t (and should not) wear bright red lipstick because it makes them look ridiculous, silly and vulgar. Some women rock it. Is it not true? If you can’t pull off Amarige don’t blame the perfume. Amarige is heavenly! It requires a very light hand and I think a woman has to reach a certain period of life when she really can enjoy this amazing florale bouquet. I don’t mean an age, it’s a state of the soul. Amarige is a pure perfection, it’s an epitome of French, a very French perfume. Magical, Sensual Flowers in a bottle. Sweet heavenly tuberose and white acacia (Black locust) are the main theme marvellously grounded by carnation. A happy marriage indeed. There is nothing like Amarige when I need to replenish my depleted feminine energy. It’s like you have been given a magnificent, lush bouquet of fresh white and red flowers just because you are beautiful woman, only for this reason alone… Thank you so much, Monsieur Ropion! I know the aliens are hot thing, but I rather favour my heaven on Earth, this is what Amarige smells like to me.

    My mom had a bottle of this when I was growing up. It wasn’t her favorite, but she’d wear it sometimes. I remember sneaking into my parents’ room when I was little and trying to spray some of the perfumes. The three I remember are Amarige, Shalimar (my mom’s favorite), and Halston Classic. Funnily enough, while I thought Shalimar had the prettiest bottle, I actually liked the smell of the Halston the best! And that was oakmoss-heavy (though that was the trend back then). I didn’t care for Amarige, though, and was glad my mom didn’t wear it often. Looking at the notes here, I’m trying to figure out what I found so repellent, and I’m guessing my four-year-old nose had not yet acquired a “taste” (sniff?) for tuberose.
    I would love to revisit Amarige, and see if my dislike still stands.

    I’ve reviewed this before. It’s a favourite. Oh god, I was wrong though! I had this down for years as a sunny daytime fragrance…
    Nuh-uh.
    Wear this at night to entice. It’s like honey to a bee. Narcotic, honeyed, yellow floral in a class of its own. Don’t underestimate this beauty!

    The opening is all peaches and sunshine – gorgeous! As Amarige develops, a sexy roughness emerges along with the flowers. Sometimes on my skin this borders on a cigarette smoke accord which I don’t love, but no doubt this was much more acceptable when Amarige was launched. Anyway, it’s lovely stuff, best applied with a light hand. The many glowing comments here show that the fragrance has not been ruined by the very negative Turin-Sanchez review it received a decade ago.

    I wore and loved this fragrance in the 1990s–back when I would wear a single “signature” fragrance instead of the fragrance wardrobe I do now. It’s a powerful white floral with a slight rotty funk that keeps it from being too cloying and it is right up my alley. Then, in 1999, I packed it along on a trip in my checked baggage, thinking that I had secured it carefully. SPOILER: I had not, and the bottle broke, soaking everything. It was eye-watering. It took forever to get the smell out of my clothes, and the suitcase never recovered. I could not face the smell of it, and switched to Bvlgari.
    It has taken almost 20 years to recover. I just found a bottle at a ridiculously low price, and it is just as gorgeous and glamourous as I remembered. It will be an exclusively at-home fragrance.

    The dry-down stage is very similar to the opening of Carnal flower, only bitter tuberose’s left on my skin. That’s weird and unexpected.

    I wore this for my wedding over 22 yrs ago and have just recently bought another bottle. it’s still as good as ever and suitable for day or night. all time classic,

    Sometimes I go through really silly phases of, “Oh, I can’t wear that perfume, some people might find it a bit overpowering”. Seriously?! When I think of the Obsession / Fahrenheit wearing people I’ve happily tolerated over the years …! Anyway, regarding Amarige. I wore it in the nineties, and yes, it was a big fragrance. I always thought it was completely different from anything else out there. I’ve recently taken a craving for “bigger” smells, and I’ve bought Femme Individuelle by Mont Blanc as well as Cabotine EDP. I’m also getting Angel body cream. So, the other day, I decided to walk into Boots and buy Amarige. It was an impulse decision. I knew I could get it cheaper online, but I wanted the pleasure of taking it home that day. The last time I smelt it, I definitely found it a bit brash and was convinced it had been reformulated. Well, all I can say now is, I think it’s been UNreformulated. The bottle of Amarige I bought the other day is absolutely stunning. It is the freshest, most mouthwatering bouquet of floral heaven I’ve ever had in a perfume. In its own way, it’s light, because the florals aren’t cloying like, for example, La Vie Est Belle. I was right about Amarige being unique. Nothing else smells like this. I have already been told by two different people that my perfume is absolutely gorgeous. Need to buy a giant bottle of this. Love it. Viva la retro!

    Based on the good reviews online I bought the largest bottle on QVC. I don’t love it. It is just not my jam. In fact every perfume by Givenchy has not worked for me. This one I will truly never wear. I wish I had returned it. If anyone loves this and wants to trade for something please contact me. I need to get rid of the perfumes that I will never use. For reference my signature scent is Chloe edp and edt. I also love Kenzo World Intense and most everything from Dior. This one just doesn’t work for my skin.

    Amarige is another great Givenchy creation, the other personal favorites being Ysatis and Eau de Givenchy.
    I currently don’t own Amarige but remember it as a strong floral. Not as opulent as Ysatis, but brighter and sunnier. Not as piercingly green as Eau, but just as intense.
    These fragrances have none of the candy sweet notes that are so popular now. Amarige is powerful and intense, and like her older sisters, has great sillage and lasting power. These are classic modern fragrances from a great house. All three are well crafted and feminine.
    But are they dated? Only when one considers big aldehyde florals old fashioned. I love Amarige, Ysatis and Eau de Givenchy, I love their power and their golden flowers.

    Bold, wonderful and classic.
    I don’t get any of the top notes when I wear this. On me it smells like peeled apples and cinnamon in a really classy way.
    It’s not for everyone though.

  12. :

    Amarige is not for the faint of heart
    It’s bold, present, and not going anywhere.
    However, it is extremely classy.
    Tuberose heaven, with a bit of yellow mixed with white floral.
    Some may say it’s for the elderly women, but honey, I’m a 21 years old boy, and I am rocking the house down with this beauty.
    Sillage – 8/10,
    Longevity – 8/10,
    Scent – 10/10.

    Sister to Dior’s Poison. Unlike her older sister, Amarige seems sunnier but in no terms light for it is as potent and decadent. Their difference lies in the absence of spices in Amarige but intensified by a multitude of fruits. Dominique Ropion really loves his mimosas and here I feel it more than the tuberose, golden and warm with a candied underlay.

    Rich, opulent & a little bit carnivorous tuberose with innocent and honey-sweet mimosa, decorated with carnation petals & peach skin. I´ve heard many times that this perfume would be a perfect fit for a wedding day – but I think this fragrance is too heavy and intensive for this occasion – but it´s perfect for a winter evening spent in a theatre /tried & confirmed/.

  15. :

    As of now, I’ve only really tried both the extrait de parfum and eau de parfum. They contain very little difference, except that the extrait de parfum smells and feels a little bit more natural and ‘full’
    Both are simply stunning ylang ylang scents with creamy tuberose to hold them up. The eau de toilette is a bit light, despite being a vintage. I must assume that the extrait is the one that garnered all of the hate – although, I can’t possibly understand why, they’re both extremely beautiful.
    I can imagine it being a lovely wedding day scent. Blissful, innocent and gleaming.

    Honeysuckle + light tuberose + linden blossom.
    It’s a “white” perfume.
    The yellow color of the juice is very misleading.
    It has flowery, not cloying “aspartame” sweetness to it (like True Star or Burberry Weekend).

    Givenchy has made some truly magical perfumes and Amarige is no exception. A splendid melange of heady white flowers and intoxicating yellow blooms, with just enough fruit to make it a touch succulent and enough old school base notes to make this a powerful sillage, long lasting fragrance. Whatever you pay for your bottle of Amarige is worth it because that bottle will last you forever. Only a few drops are needed, really. You can wear Amarige to the office if you are careful in your application. Put on less than you think you’ll need because this blossoms more in the heat of your activities.
    I have a photo, it’s a selfie really, but I have gotten so many compliments on this photo, which I snapped at a wedding. People say I look dreamy and sensual and I can only credit that 100% to the fact that I had just applied Amarige and was in the cloud of luxury that it creates. So feminine and rich.

    This is drop dead stunning, I have been recommended this because I love Poeme and I absolutely love this too, it’s also a strong, yellow/white voluptuous floral! But it’s more intriguing, mysterious than Poeme and much less endearing or kind. It’s Poeme’s evil twin sister!
    It has that “wow” factor to it, in fact, that is exactly what I said when I tried it. The kind of wow factor that could cause headaches in some but for me thankfully it’s wonderful not headeachy.
    I see that they both have mimosa dominant so I guess I like mimosa even though I don’t know exactly how it smells. I wasn’t very enthusiastic about ordering a sample because everything catering to women from Givenchy disappointed me but this was a very nice surprise.
    So in conclusion if you like strong florals with an “oomph” factor you should definitely try this.
    Edit: Yey, just got it for myself, the 100ml bottle is so HUGE and satisfying <3.

    Caution: strong perfume! Very mature
    I thought i’d like it but turns out i’m wrong. Yes it’s classic but it’s too strong and has this old school and dated vibe to it. Not for me.

    If you enjoy something like Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum, or Chanel No 5 EDP, or Christian Dior Miss Dior Le Parfum, Joy by Jean Patou,…perhaps you may like this one or enjoy it more than I do.
    It takes certain personality and/or chemistry to wear Amarige. We normally pick our own fragrances, but this one actually “chooses” which one of us to be its conquerer. I got introduced to the world of fragrances a little late and haven’t experienced much of “classic” scents in term of “trend” from fragrances that were created in “the past”. Therefore to me, “classic” means quality then (as one thing I know for sure, that many “things” and “items” that were from before, were made to last with good quality). In that case, Amarige is a classic one.
    It offers complexity, depth, and character. It is not created to be mysterious or to confuse you. It is bold as a statement. It is what it claims to be by its performance. Amarige captivates the beauty of strong flowers (Ylang Ylang, tuberose, gardenia, and jasmine). It is not a shy or quiet fragrance and will not hold back on its rightful owner. Amarige is well made with long lasting quality and layers of supporting notes (amber, wood, tonka bean, musk, fruits) in order to serve one purpose, and one purpose only, to crown and escort their queens, the flowers.
    I’m not meant for Amarige but I applaud its contribution in this modern world of fragrances.

    I’ve toyed with this one for a couple of years and I think I’m finally ready for it! I fell in love with it immediately, as it was the perfect blend of fruit, white flowers, and something a little sexy. I feel very feminine and outgoing when I wear it. The only thing that has every hold me back is its strength. Sometimes, I really do feel self-conscious like I’m taking over the whole room! However, I’ve learned that if I hold the sprayer far away from my body it’s not too strong, even if I spray several pulse points. I just catch pleasant wafts of it throughout the day so it’s probably not that overpowering. I greeted an acquaintance the other night at an event. When I gave her a hug she said, “Ooooooh! You smell GOOD!” I should note that I’m in my late 30s and she is in her 20s. So, even though it may smell a tad dated it’s still appreciated by younger women. I will also say that it’s very unique and classic at the same time. I haven’t found anything else that smells quite like it, which is one of the reasons I love it so much. Worn in moderation, I think it’s very signature-worthy!
    UPDATE: Just the other day, I walked into my favorite coffee shop. A handome, distinguished-looking gentleman glanced up at me as I walked by. When I sat down to have my croissant and iced coffee, he made his way over to introduce himself. He told me that my fragrance says “Hello! Come talk to me.” So, there you have it!

    Truly a bomb. Sillage and especially persistence are out of this world. While some women can find it “dated” or weird, I also find the essence really classy, beautiful, feminine and really recognizable. But really, if you want a perfume that will last forever and create an aura around you…Amarige.

  25. :

    4 out of 5

    This was a signature scent for me for a while, mainly because I received so many compliments when I wore it and it has enormous sillage. That said, for me, its initial scent is almost repulsive – it’s a huge tuberose bomb with that slightly rotting under-whiff. Sounds like something you want to wear, doesn’t it? 🙂 Thus my like and not love rating for it. But it evolves and on dry down is so complex, sophisticated and sexy! When I’ve met (very few) other women wearing it, they were without exception very confident, women who command a room when they enter it. I think one needs a certain amount of presence to wear this one.

  26. :

    4 out of 5

    So Classic, but still a very wearable tuberose (bomb!…yes, but gentle). Can be worn both during daytime and night time. This scent is for a Confident woman that dares to wear red (sorry, no business White/beige shirts here!). A perfect scent for a date.
    I was reminded about Amarige when I sniffed Armani Privé Rouge Malachite (which is 280€ / 100 ml and Givenchy is 50€/50 ml). Guess what? I bought Amarige instead. 🙂
    Excellent longevity and sillage, EdT still noticeable after 6-7 hours.

    I loved it when i had it, similar to the Narciss Chloe, but this one is heavy on tuberose. Remains a classic but i wont repurchase it.

  28. :

    White floral bomb.
    The transition from 80s animalic era to 90s bubbly clean era, so “Amarige” is the middle of this transition, the gardenia is captivating with the tuberose, and mimosa. The rosewood, and the jsamines gives the slight animalic factor while the peaches, and plums are softens the blend. Hintly orange blossoms are added that sour like factor with some red berries, black currant, orchid, & cassia. Musky orange sandalwood is there to support the animalic factor.
    I didn’t like it at first but the deeper it goes the more erotic it become, sweet animalic white floral blend. Beautiful contradiction.

    My sister gaved me last year Michael Kors.When I opened the box and sprayed some on my wrist I was ….ohhhh…this smells soooo similar to Amarige (only Amarige is so much complex then Michael Kores Signature ).!Well..yes there are very similar white flowers tuberose exotic sexy kind of fragrances! Very Feminine. But…. Amarige is the French parfume.chic and classy .Extravagant ..Expensive.Fragrance..One of a kind….Very warm and balsamic with vanilla and amber in the base.
    … I think I love Amarige.!!!

    Gentle and motherly. Feels nostalgic. When I smell it , I automatically feel kinder and helpful. This is full of tenderness and simplicity. There is a poke of citrus or pepper or something in there that keeps it interesting and not too round and bouyant.

    My mum used to purchase this for me when I was a teenager and I just remember that I used to dislike this fragrance because I found the scent too mature/serious.
    Even though I am older, I still find the scent somewhat granny-like.
    Regardless, the last bottle I got 10 years ago was very strong and bold. It would last all day and since I was a heavy sprayer, the sillage effect was quite noticeable. I did get compliments but from older individuals.
    I am not aware whether the formula has changed as of 2018.
    Definitely an evening fragrance.

  32. :

    Amarige is a heavy-hitter! Enormous sillage, fills a room, leaves a trail long after you’ve gone, so apply with a very light hand, maybe spray and walk into/under, that kind of thing.
    Strong notes of tuberose and plum. Bottle is beautiful, especially the swirly cap! Had this in high school back in the 90’s, all the girls had it but applied too much and was headache-inducing.
    If you are a fan of Giorgio Beverly Hills, you may very well like this one!

    Ahhh, Amarige, what a lovely beauty you are. But I am wondering if you’ve been reformulated or softened over the years, as I always kind of thought you were a heavy hitter..? But you are quite delicate. On me you are a soft sweet white floral. Yes, a perfect wedding fragrance. Although no weddings here, but I will still enjoy your soft delicate sweet white floral loveliness. I am not picking up any of your other accords, though (and it is fine by me).
    You are not the heavy powerhouse I expected, you are way lighter. I would put you along the lines of reminding me a whole lot of Sublime and Poeme and even Songes, all fragrances that I also greatly l❤️ve. Moderate sillage and 12+ hrs longevity.
    And that bottle is so classy and classic looking. Pretty bottle, no frills. Classy and classic, like the fragrance itself. I love when the bottle design “matches” or gives an indication to the fragrance.

  34. :

    5 out of 5

    When Amarige was first introduced, I wore it frequently, and I still love it. I recommend applying with a very light touch, but I find this big fragrance to be quite beautiful, and I always love to catch a whiff of it when I am out and about. This fragrance is complex, singular, and impossible to forget.

  35. :

    4 out of 5

    Amarige is just so, SO good. Heady gardenia and tuberose, spicy ylang and a tart, juicy peach. Sparkles for hours, then gradually dries down to a creamy sandalwood and jasmine. Good projection, monster longevity.
    Sunshine in a bottle. Delightful!

  36. :

    5 out of 5

    One of the first perfumes that drawn me to this road of a fragrance freak. Smell like happiness, I smelt this accidentally on someone one morning on street in a winter dry day and it lifted up my mood instantly. smells like sunshine. and the sillage is huuge. That person left a huuge trail of perfume from like 6 meters I didn’t know.from where it’s coming off, just after I came closer to her.

    I was at Macy’s tonight poking around and saw Amarige, so I thought I would try it on paper.
    I braced myself for a dated & difficult fragrance.
    But soft! What scent through yonder decades waft?
    Wow! yes, it’s potent, but it’s also lovely & smooth. I thought I smelled lily, but apparently every other white flower is in it except lily.
    I think you could use the edp as a perfume with a dab or two when you want to wear a big white floral.
    I have no history with Amarige, and I am delighted!

  38. :

    Sharp. Not balanced. I love bold, vintage, loud perfumes but I dislike This one. By the way I am a tuberose lover. Not a safe blind buy. Not for the office.

    Amarige
    Vera e propria esplosione di tuberosa e gardenia, un profumo voluttuoso, potente senza essere invadente.
    Un classico inevitabile, tutti questi fiori si quietano dopo molte ore su di un tappeto di sandalo…
    Magnifico.

    Too much sandalwood!( I had tried vintage. All I can say, this fragrance is far from catchy fragrances with noticeable peach and tuberose of those times. Sorry, fans!

    I love tuberose and this is supposed to be a big tuberose fragrance but I didn’t get that. My beau always loved this perfume and gifted me a 90’s edp bottle awhile ago. The first spray was strong and abrasive, complex and warm yes, but not in a good way; I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the combination but although they sound good, I hated it. I gave it time to mellow and work with my chemistry, it didn’t, it smelled of piss 🙁 It does have staying power; I sprayed in the morning and it lasted as I walked in the door that night. I couldn’t wait to wash it off. There was no saving this puppy and I gave it away.
    thewhitestpatel mentioned it was similar to Alien and I have to disagree, the only similarity is silliage and projection, but Amarige does mellow somewhat whereas Alien stays just as strong. I also find Amarige very dated.
    I own Champs Elysees edp, and although I like this perfume, I don’t love it because it has that similar note found in Amarige–is it the violet? I just don’t know, but there it is! I sprayed and the note smacked me in the nose, I was devastated, thank goodness that as the perfume develops (30-60mnS) the note mostly fades and lingers in the background so as not to offend and I end up with a white floral bouquet.

    This is more of a gardenia bomb than a tuberose bomb on me. The mimosa provides an anise-like facet, sweetening up this perfume. I can definitely smell some citrus in the opening, perhaps from the neroli. Overall scent smells really clean, a bit like a fancy soap. Highly recommended if you’re into that.
    Sillage is strong, longevity is excellent 8+hours.

    Over the past few months I have rekindled my love of fragrances and been on a bit of a binge. I guess you could blame Fragratica, it certainly fuels my addiction somewhat. This bottle is one of my latest and greatest buys. I have recently discovered that I adore floral notes, in the past I was a strict orientalist and hardly ventured into this realm. After a bit of research this Jem kept popping up. I work in a cosmetics department so it was easy for me to find a tester and give this one a try. Instant love! I felt warped in the most intoxicating and pleasant floral aroma. The fruit in the top is to die for, I guess this would be classified as a fruity floral but I find it better composed than bestsellers like J adore. Tuberose, mimosa, gardenia are the main players but the other flowers do come up to bat. The dry down is lovely smooth and feminine.
    After weeks of sneaking sprays from the tester and proclaiming my love for this stuff to all the ladies in the department I decided to buy some. Luckily for employees we have special discounts around Christmas so I snagged my 50ml for a song. The flacon is very pleasant to hold and has a crystal like quality arpart from the cheap plastic frosted cap. My friend and fellow tuberose junkie violet who wrote the review below mine was not as much a fan of this. Funny how associations can ruin a scent. I personally feel this fragrance suits my personality: outgoing, bright, unapologetic,a bit sassy but still classy and cultured. I plan on using my little bottle sparingly, because I have a feeling I’m going to want to wear this often and for a long time.

    I have Al Rehab’s Susan and am enjoying it. Knowing it’s similar to Amarige I went and bought a second hand bottle of Amarige recently, having never owned it or consciously tried it before.
    You know how perfumes tend to evoke memories; this one does for me. Of women of the slightly tarty kind – ‘common’, as it were. Trying to be ‘posh’, but not. There is a trace memory of forgettable women I’ve known wearing this number in the 90’s and later. Women who like lots of makeup and curled hairsprayed hair.
    In that context it is difficult to be objective. However, it is a pretty fragrance. I’ve been racking my brain as to what the smell is and I’ve got it. It’s fragranced toilet paper! That’s on dry down. Oh and the sort of smell emanating from a hairdresser’s. You know, from blow dries and rollers!
    Reassuringly 90’s-esque in a lipstick and hairspray way. I like it.

    This smells sharp and abrasive on me – the jasmine seems predominant, but not in a nice way. It gives me a headache and causes a burning in my nostrils. I am slightly reminded of Worth “Je Reviens” although I was able to wear that, too many years ago to count.

    hmm, it is indeed nothing special
    but it is a good “nothing special”
    not very unique
    but perfectly balanced the overwhelming white flowers
    anyone smells honey in this one ?
    mine is a vintage one
    for me this smells like fresh flowers wrapped in honey
    not too sweet but has this sugar vibes
    and it’s definitely from the 90’s
    more or less has some connections with Elizabeth Taylor’s Diamonds line
    it’s something like that
    don’t blind buy it

    Such a gorgeous uplifting perfume!

    On me this scent smells almost pepperminty, with very lemony florals. Amarige takes me back to christmas parties in the 1990s. I think it must have been very popular at that time. I didn’t like it when I first put it on, because it was very sharp and sour, and I got the “bugspray/acetone” vibe from it, but the dry down was much softer and more approachable. Amarige is quite the statement maker, but it’s not for me.

    This is a big tuberose bomb.. this is to tuberose what Alien is to jasmine. They actually smell very similar to me, a big bouquet of white flowers with that somewhat acrid yet attractive fuzzy amber note amping up the musk of the florals. It makes sense, since Dominique Ropion created both perfumes. On my skin all I get is the base with tuberose sitting on top.. definitely none of the fruity notes. I find this to be a timeless/modern-smelling floral, not dated at all. Very feminine and lovely.

    If the security camera was working today in the pharmacy where I tried this perfume, I hope they got a shot of my face when I offered my wrist up to my nose after spraying this. Oh my goodness. Divine. From the very first sniff, I was captured. This stuff sells for NZ$59 for a 100ml EDT (I think – not 100% sure on the size of the bottle) which seems very inexpensive for what you get in return. So much white floral. White florals that have taken a shower by the beach and are now languishing in a king-sized bed on fresh white linen. I think I will be buying a bottle. I’m five hours in and I absolutely love it.
    Edit – the NZ$59 is for a 30ml bottle. The tester was 100ml which is what threw me.

    Amarige is that perfect example of tuberose in fragrance. I’m not entirely sure why this gets all the hate it does because it’s SO beautiful.
    Creaminess lent from both tuberose and sandalwood, balanced on a stunning bouquet of white florals. If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear that there was cinnamon in this… or some gently applied spices
    The peach and plum in this are also quite beautiful, add a slight amount of fruitiness that doesn’t at all make it tacky.
    Such a beautiful classic floral scent….

    Eyes roll back in your head beautiful. It’s thick and sweet white flowers covered in fruity nectar. This is what I’d wear for a vacation on the beach. It calls to mind white sands, blue waters and pure bliss. I received a mini in a lot of stuff I purchased and it spilled out during shipping. When I unwrapped it the smell poured out immediately and I fell in love in that moment. I need this in my life. Amazing.

    Amarige is the fragrance I wore on my wedding day in the summer of 1992. Beautiful, bright, youthful and elegant is how I’d describe it. My mother gave me this treasure. It’s a strong floral with a beautiful vanilla in the drydown with very good sillage and incredible lasting power. I don’t wear it anymore but whenever I get the chance to catch a whiff it takes me back to a very happy day in my life.

    I bought this recently as an adult after seeing it for sale and remembering that my aunt had given me a small bottle when I was a child. It was my favorite then, and while it isn’t my favorite today, I still quite like it. It has excellent staying power, so it’s great when you know you’ll be out all day. My impression of it keeps changing; when I bought it I enjoyed it as a sort of generic, warm floral scent, then I remember when I was pregnant the scent seemed almost risqué in some way. Now, I still get the floral notes but there is unfortunately also a very synthetic smell in the background, almost like plastic or cherry-flavored cough medicine. It’s this more recent association that keeps me from loving it rather than just liking it.

    Bright, sunny and fresh with a warm, spicy heart. Sweet too, but from the era before perfumes smelled like carnival treats. This perfume has a lovely shape- from the outset you get the sweet flowers, but smell a little deeper and you get the spiciness; in fact “sunny” is about the best description I can give to convey the brightness that surrounds the warm heart. This is such a comforting and nostalgic trip down memory lane. Though I can’t think of a specific person who wore this perfume, it nonetheless brings back memories of the early 90’s, though it doesn’t smell old fashioned in any way. To me, this lovely perfume automatically conveys effortless sophistication. Also for an edt it has incredible performance- better than most edp these days.

    Oh,……..my.
    This is absolutely gorgeous!!
    Loved this at first sniff and bought it.
    I haven’t opened my box of it yet, as I never gave it the usual perfume test.
    Well, let me tell you. I sprayed it on at Ulta, where I bought it from, and that has been at least 4 hours, and I still smell it going strong.
    Amarige is like Poeme without the all the honey and less vanilla. It has a “fuzzy” note, if that’s possible. Almost narcotic.
    Definitely floral, smooth, sweet, juicy (?) to begin with. Not much change except hat it gets a little dirtier on my skin, and the smell gets a little carnal, just a little. Must be the tuberose.
    Very linear, doesn’t change much at all.
    Sillage? Oh yeah, it’s a head turner.
    Longevity? I believe this will still be detectible into tomorrow, and after a shower….but I will keep you posted.
    I love it. It takes priorty over my Poeme.

    Beautiful parfum! Reminds me of beautiful ladies in sun hats white gloves drinking mimosa under tables with umbrella top. Is for summer because smell of fruits and flowers. When I first wear her I smell mimosa, orange, mandarin, bergamot, lemon, cassia, peach plum and berry. Is mostly citrus fresh and juicy. Then I smell flowers of tuberose, carnation, jasmine, and ylang ylang. In dry down I smell the amber wood and vanilla. This parfum is strong so I only use a little. This parfum last a long time. Sophisticated, rich, sweet, strong, a lady perfume for the lady who is smart, sweet and confident.

    Mostly jasmine on my skin. Pure jasmine with some touch of powdery-sweet floral a lil’ bit. Smells fresh & dry at the same time. I really don’t get any other florals especially tuberose & gardenia which usually dominant white flower in perfumes. Pity me because i love tuberos
