A very classy & elegant frag. Last long. Suitable for men too as not too floral. Reminds me of my mom, my teachers when i was a kid. Expensive for a 100ml size.. but money well spent for me.
нютик – :
Aromatic leather, if that makes sense and a bit of clove too. Reminds me of 31 Rue Cambon from Chanel, though they are not similar. But they are in the same league, CLASSY. Wear it on a snowy day and feel it warm you up.
4manius – :
this is lovely in the top (inasmuch as it is a copy of bernard chant’s iconic aromatics elixir, one of my all-time favorites.) however, i find the drydown not as good as its inspiration: it’s much softer, sweeter, more powdery and all-together more pedestrian (which AE is definitely not.) not bad though.

have you ever smelled a perfume, and then it is almost unbelievable for you how beautiful it smells…to the point that you could just start crying
that is my experience with Beloved…
for some mysterious reason, this womanly miracle of a scent makes me think of a chinese princess…she’s out with her maids on a flower plain…in a dramatic dress…strolling majestically among yellow, blue and pink flowers…enjoying her day far from reach of men and the crowd of her palace…when she gets close to a creek, she gets out of her dress and rests herself in the water of the sacred spring
Beloved is out of this world good…and I am sure some parts of heaven smell like it
for me, not similar to Aromatic Elixir, which smells like pure oakmoss to me… while Beloved is more complex and unique to my nose
кирил – :
Divine dry down.

Amouage just doesn’t seem to like my skin. :
I bought a decant of this to test and it smells like PEZ candy and powder. It is a synthetic mess on my skin that thankfully becomes a skin scent within a couple hours.
eldora – :
I think what many people are afraid of admitting, is the “Aramis slant” in this…and Im talking about the vintage Aramis for Men. And so, we hear Beloved compared to any other fragrance resembling Aramis in some way, (Paloma Picasso, Aromatic Elixir, which is wayyy more sour/tart than Beloved and not sweet at all) because we all know Aramis/Aramis, aint nowhere near what it was a million yrs ago. Its a completely different thing, that can be bought in your neighborhood Walgreens, these days.
Ive reviewed this once, and its not my nature to do that, for ANY perfume. I like to review it once..say what I have to say, and move on. But this scent is just, MAGICAL…the ONLY dart I can throw at it, is my wanting it to have very little to no patchouli in it. But there’s enough going on with this perfume, to the positive, to not get caught up in the banality of it, too.
KibreSimb – :
To me, Beloved is like a cross between Narciso Rodriguez for her EDP and Aromatics Elixir. It’s one of my favorite “serious” perfumes, the height of class and elegance. Sexy too! Love it!!
nidasia – :
You’re at a tea party in the early afternoon. It’s the spring of 1871, and your servants are pouring fresh chamomile tea for you and your girlfriends. You breathe deeply and absorb the blooming rose garden around you, picking out the speckled lavender flowers and ferns in your mind. As you all chat and laugh together, dusty incense dances off of your Victorian dresses, reminding you of the Catholic mass you had all just attended that morning. Beloved Woman by Amouage.
tyty77 – :
This is my second review, after bought a full 100ml bottle at a Christmas Sales Beauty Booth in a respected famed mall (not road side tiny stall or shop). They gave this a big discount!
Upon my first time wearing Beloved and take some time sniff the aroma from my shirt, confirmed it’s a Red Rose Chypre.
Not really like Coco Mademoiselle stated from my 1st review, more like more intense version, or oriental version of Sisley Soir De Lune. Heavy sweet red rose blended with other herbs, like chamomile, immortelle, jasmine and others that I don’t know the name. Meanwhile, Soir de Lune emphasis on the honey and nugmeg.
Upon testing Beloved on the test paper, it is a very heavy perfume that may not suitable for office use. Still I wear it anyway, a small spray in my shirt.
During a hot day, walking towards to mail my parcel, the courier counter lady said my perfume smell good, blended smoothly with my original body scent and skin oil.
I told her it was Amouage Beloved, a very strong perfume. But she reply, the scent doesn’t hurt her nose. She told me, she came across some people wore perfume that doesn’t matches with their body chemistry, and the smell can be a disaster. So this tells, Beloved blends well with my body.
KOLYANTIP – :
This is a must sniff for chypre lovers and in general.
It starts off like a refined version of cardin rose and aromatics. I also got a strong vibe of aramis for men. As it settles the aramis scent seems to be more on my skin and I felt I was also wearing the pre reformulated Beverly Hills red (which I used to love). Didn’t expect the latter to happen!
I can still smell rose and it smells sweet. This can be worn by both men and women in my opinion. I don’t know about reformulation of beloved and not sure which sample I have, but it lasts incredibly long with monstrous sillage in the beginning.
When you wear this, it undoubtedly smells rich and money well spent unlike some perfumes where you pay a lot and it could smell just ‘ok’.
ExNOV – :
A woman fragrance with high unique complexity. To my nose and my little perfume experience beloved is something between Paloma Picasso and 20th Ferre. More suitable for cold days. I love it!
PS: Being a three dimension gem I find also some similarities to Amarige Mariage Givenchy. Warm, elegant, woman figured cover…
Roman2011 – :
Opens with a warm spicy blast but quickly mellows out with a rose soliflore, then morphs into a mixture of rose, sage and chamomile, which smells better than it sounds like it would. It smells opulent and rich and reminds me of a lot of the popular 80s and 90s perfumes.
I can totally see the comparison to aromatics elixir. In the opening, there is something similar about them, though mmmmgood hit it spot on — aromatics is more tart, sour and herbal, like sticky summer sweat.
For the first couple of hours, it doesn’t feel all that unique. But about 3 hours in, the civet makes an appearance and takes over to make it animalic. I would have passed if I’d just smelled it for the first couple of hours and then scrubbed it off, but the drydown makes it unique and intoxicating. Will probably add it to my want list
8.5/10
Fermilos – :
I wish that I could wear Beloved. The top notes are so pretty! Unfortunately as it starts to dry down it smells very sour on my skin, like decaying plants and old dirt. I don’t know enough yet to understand why/what notes are not agreeing with me. I usually like animalic notes… To the ones fortunate enough to wear this complex fragrance enjoy it for you are blessed.
RW_PlushkiN – :
I love the notes in Beloved but on my skin they don’t turn out good. Somehow I get a sharp note, maybe the Civet I’n not sure and thats a bummer ‘couse i love all the notes in Beloved. This one is not for me – but a great scent on other women.
Jag älskar alla noterna i Beloved men på min hud blir det inte bra. På något sätt får jag en skarp not – kanske Civet som är för tydlig. Trist för jag älskar alla doftnoterna i beloved. Denna är inget för mig, en en härlig, lite kaxig doft för andra tjejer/kvinnor.
drag-fire – :
Love this one. Using it for going out at night or some kind of special events. Still can not imagine using it when it is too warm weather.
MaDDeST_777 – :
This is gorgeous and yes, I can see a similarity with MDCI Palatin. I love the dense, rich combination for the animalic notes with the vibrant herbal ones that are supported and grounded with warm resins and woods. Who doesnt love the smell of chamomile. Soft, herbally yet cheerful. Its no wonder I laid a chamomile lawn in the back garden last year. Its just heaven to walk over on warm days. Its the smell of happiness. Chamomile works a treat with the sun dried, sweet honeyed immortelle.
I love how the sage, leather and lavender accent these sweet notes.
Its warm and inviting but not shrill unlike other similar cheaper fragrance.
Moderate sillage and longevity
afr85 – :
Amouage’s take on the grand classical style of perfumery; fizzy, exuberant, glorious florals singing hosannas over an aldehyde/chypre base. There’s an interesting spiciness here, and the soapy lavender gives it a masculine feel… which again plays into the retro feel of the fragrance. You can get something similar for a lot less money (i.e. Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir), but if you want to splurge Beloved has a richness and radiance that is beyond compare. Personally, I think this is gorgeous but I can’t justify spending $450 for the pleasure.
gesaul – :
Beloved is my beloved perfume. It is a masterpiece of magnificence. It is an incredibly beautiful and complex perfume, so gorgeous. I can’t describe it. It’s too magnificent. All I can say is it’s PERFECT.
butkys – :
In the opening, this is very herbal and aromatic. When the opening dissipates it reminds me of Bal A Versailles (parfume concentration) which I love, but is very hard to find. I hate to compare one fragrance to another, but this one really is so hard to explain on a note for note level. To me it is mostly animalic and balsamic. It’s a little sweet and powdery, but not overly so. Of course with all the florals in there, it is somewhat floral, with rose being the most dominant, but it’s not a floral composition to my nose. It’s beautiful, even sexy, in a very vintage sort of way.
Modyto – :
(update)
ummmmm, ok…So, I know there are a million fragrances out there that will make your jaw drop. Ive smelled my share..and its always a REAL pleasure to roll around in the utter beauty of a perfume that was “made by the Gods”. So Im going to call this one, the way I see it:
Amouage Beloved, is the best all around fragrance, Ive EVER smelled. It gives me everything I dig and desire in a perfume. NO, I dont frequent many fragrance conventions or trade shows. (I go to them from time to time. Im not a veteran of those shows)..nor, do I hunt down every fragrance shoppe in town. I have a few in different cities that I visit. But I didnt buy ‘Beloved’ at a convention…and I didnt buy it at the scent store that I visit, often. I bought it on LuckyScents website… This is a magnificent perfume. There’s a clean, organic fizziness to it, that makes my brain itch…in a good way.
and now that Ive worn it a few times, I have it clocked. The first thing that hooks me, is the warmth of the fragrance….there is a balminess that surprised me. The second thing that quickly got my attention was the fusion of 6 fragrances that I happen to dig for different reasons (Fendi Uomo, Aramis/Aramis for Men (you could layer this with Aramis for Men and get away with it), Aramis 900, Robert Piguet/Bandit…and last but not least, Amouage/Beloved for Men.
FYI, this is NOT a copy of Aromatics Elixir. That fragrance is wayyyyy more tart, sour & herbaceous…almost vinegar-ish, before it calms down to a softer ‘green’ smell… the rose stands out in this, like it does in Aramis/Aramis. To me, this is pretty much the “Holy Grail” of fragrances, for me…this is, basically, what Ive been looking for since first logging on and posting a profile on this site. But I had some evolving to do, first. This is perfection in a bottle. Gorgeous stuff, man…and VERY unisex. An absolute masterpiece.
____________________________________________________
This has quickly become my favorite Amouage juice after Library Opus V..this is a head turner, no doubt. And VERY heavy. ZsaZsa (poster below me) says it will last, 6-7 hrs. I would have to disagree…sorta, strongly. I bought it a few days ago, and wore it all day the next day…with no reapplication. So, if anything, it projected strongly, for 8 hrs on me (so glad I didnt overspray), and it became a skin scent, somewhere a bit north of the 10-12 hr mark. And I gotta believe, if I had sprayed just a smidge more, it would have lasted even longer.
I dont use the word, luxurious, much at all. But thats what this is. Its opulent with an old school vibe. But the immortelle keeps it away from smelling ancient..and it helps it maintain a more contemporary feel.
if you’re a female, wearing this (pardon my french) you will smell like a ‘rich bitch’. If you’re a dude, wearing this, you’ll smell ‘edgy’.
hands down, this is one of the better perfumes that I own and have smelled. Worth every dime of its pricepoint. Please be careful with how much you spray. I cant emphasize that enough. I goes on lightly, if you’re spraying from a foot or so. But it’s about as heavy as you can ask for.
exert – :
I am finally the proud owner of this precious fragrance. I wanted to buy it since it came out in 2012, but the price scared me off. So a couple of years have gone by and I felt that now was the right time! It is LOVELY! I love it and my husband loves it too! This is the second perfume in our 15 year relationship that he said he really liked on me ( the other one being Coco Mademoiselle). Beloved smells like a symphony, broad, full, difficult for me to detect all the different notes. What I can detect (on my very dry skin) are rose, vanilla, sandalwood, leather and spices. The overall feel is delicious, feminine and a little bit spicy. I live in the Caribbean and this fragrance behaves very well in the heat and humidity. My colleagues tell me that I leave a trail of beautiful scent even though I don’t use a lot (2 big sprays max). The longevity is about 6-7 hours, as is expected of an Amouage. The wait for this precious perfume is over and it was well worth it!
P.S. in order to save on this perfume I transfer it in a Travalo travel atomiser and use mini sprays instead of big sprays so that the perfume doesn’t go to waste. I do this with all my favourite perfumes.
laboranto4ka2011 – :
I guess it was inspired by Aromatics Elixir, though it is an upgraded formula of the last, seems enriched with castoreum, musc and civet. It is a 3 D version. A noble, smooth, sophisticated, intelligent one. I have to admit, my husband’s favorite scent, I have been testing this on vacation and after 8 years of marriage, this was our second honeymoon. 42-44 y. couple !!! So I just empirically have to share with You, Beloved returned us to where we were 8 years ago. Use little amounts each time, do not spray, instead smear the scent on skin.

“Beloved” “محبوب”
“محبوب” عطری اصیل و بسیارخوشبو برای کسانی که به دنبال هنر عطر سازی واقعی و سنتی میباشند.
اشاره به این نکته الزامی است که برند “امواج” و برند ” پاغفوم دومپاغ” (پرفیوم امپایر) تاکنون نهایت تلاش خود رو در زنده نگاه داشتن هنر عطاری حرفه ای و اصیل مبذول داشته اند.
عطر “محبوب” شاخص بسیار مهمی در ارائه کیفیت واصالت است، ای کاش نام “رُزِ تلخ” را بعنوان نام این عطر برمیگزیدند، چرا که ترکیبات موجود در این عطر احساس بویدن گل رُز همراه با تلخی را برای شامه تداعی میکند.
تغییر رایحه ها در این عطر چندان مشهود نیست ، از ابتداء تا انتهاء تقریبا یک بو احساس میشود اما بقدری مجلل و جذاب است که ذهن مدهوش او میشود وفقط حس وقار و غرور را القاء میکند.
این رایحه ترکیبی از گلها و صمغهای معطر زیادی است که همه با هم رایحه رُز تلخ رو ایجاد نموده، شامه من میتواند وجود رایحه گل دکمه ای و گل بابونه و کمی رایحه دودی و کمی از رایحه صمغ مُرّ بهمراه برخی از رایحه های حیوانی رو احساس نماید.
اما همه این رایحه ها بقدری زیبا و دقیق با رایحه گل رُز ترکیب شده اند که فقط یه بو احساس میگردد وآن هم تلخی رُزی است.
پخش بو و دوام این عطر در زمستان وسرما بسیار زیاد است،با یک بار اسپری روی پوست پخشی 5 ساعته تا فاصله 2 متری و دوامی بیش از 24 ساعت را ارائه میدهد، اما در تابستان و گرما پخش بو برای دو ساعت تا فاصله 1 متری و دوامی تا 8 ساعت را دارا میباشد.
این عطر فقط یک رایحه زنانه نیست، بلکه کاملا مناسب هر علاقه مندی به عطرها و روایح اصیل میباشد، چه زن چه مرد، البته اکثر تولیدات برند “امواج” اینگونه میباشد.

Beloved is a perfumy inoffensive musk fragrance for novice musk fans. Some have compared it to vintage Bal a Versailles which is intensely musky but I think it’s closer to smelling like the fragrance family that is Paloma Picasso or Salvador Dali. It’s a soft musk. The fragrance would appear to smell like a super musk because it has all 3 major animalic scents that have been used in perfumery for years: deer musk, civet and ambergris, but this time around the combination of flowers in the heart, namely the chamomile and immortelle, plus additional flower notes at the top like lavender, make it very spicy floral and the base is more of a heady sandalwood. This is an evening perfume for the elegant sophisticated woman who has great taste in perfume. It has a maturity to it but it’s definitely not “old lady” ish. It smells expensive, and with a softer yet spicy edge. It’s amazing. It’s worth the price too. Thank you my friend Lucia in London for introducing me to such great musk scents like Paloma Picasso, Salvador Dali and now Amourage. PS love the look of the bottle.
magnol666 – :
Absolutely lovely floral chypre with a hint of powder. Classic in feel, but with a very slight animalistic edge a bit reminiscent of Bal a Versailles or Maai, that sexy but not in-your-face promise of things to come. For Amouage, it is actually surprisingly soft in it’s sillage. Excellent lasting power as well. Unlike what it’s pink packaging might suggest, this is not a girly fragrance, but it is a truly feminine scent, warm and inviting. Can you tell I absolutely love it?
BKPreston – :
I rember ordering a sample of this from Surrendertochance the year it came out because it sounded like it would be something I would love.And yes I was right,a wonderful,fullbodied floral chypre , I couldn’t stop smelling my hand.I decided that this was something I had to buy but the price was huge even for an Amouage and I spent money on other perfumes mostly vintage, believing that as this was a new fragrance I would eventually do it.
The other day at an airport I decided to try it again and go for it.I just couldn’t believe what they have done to it!This is a watered down nothing.It is only 3-4
years since it was launched and it has already been destroyed by reformulation.So it has come to this ,when you like something buy it,the next bottle will probably not be the same.I’m sorry for rambling,but I am angry!
Deity – :
The opening spray reminiscence Houbigant Quelques Fleurs, but the drydown turns out like Coco Mademoiselle, and the smell lost within minutes on my skin.
Holy cow! Glad I don’t need to choose this, cause this is one of the most expensive ones. Be sure to test on your skin before make any decision.
Bastamaks007 – :
This smells the way wearing a fur coat feels. One of my all time favourite comfort scents. I feel like purring every time I wear it.
securiti20102010 – :
Wow, I mean wow!! What a beauty! Beloved is such a head turner! I can see why some people have likened it to Aromatics Elixir, but it’s softer somehow. It exhibits sophistication and class and has very good silage and lasting power. It has all my favourite notes, and it’s the one Amouage that I’d buy if it was more affordable. Sadly it’s way out of my price range, but I’m happy that I was able to experience it. If I can find a partly used one on eBay…..
Lada555 – :
Authentically RETRO! I am amazed by how well Amouage does old school style. BELOVED is literally like an authentic glamour perfume from the 70s or 80s. If you miss the real thing and are often left feeling like the old standards are either thinner or flatter than they used to be or if you are tired of rancid disappointments from eBay, please give Beloved a try.
Tons of civet, musk, labdanum and castoreum. It is smoothly animalic (not skanky). The opening has more going on, just like perfumes back in the day but once it settles down it becomes very beautiful although quite diva like yet still wearable and comforting. Like many animalic fragrances, I find myself craving this smell once I wear it. Then it triggers my cravings for other old school perfumes, even if it doesn’t quite smell like them, it just makes me want to break out the old school classics like Joy.
Longevity is stellar…but then again, it’s Amouage.
Full bodied retro glamour that can only truly be appreciated if you are patient enough for the dry down. But I find this to be pretty common with Amouage. They start off with a bang, sometimes an off putting bang, but if you give it a good hour to develop before making a decision, you will usually find a pot of gold. Huge fan of this house and Beloved is another I’m happy to have in my collection.
vowsapals – :
Especially the opening smells a lot like Aromatics Elixir from Clinique. Which is a good thing in my book. Later on it becomes softer and more mellow than AE. I like it but it is too similar for me to splurge on something so expensive.
sunny_laura – :
Beloved smells intensely classic. It’s topped with a hint of rose and musk, making it nice and dirty without being a sex bomb like Amouage Fate. In the end, like other Amouage perfums, it dries down to a pretty floral patchouli. It’s sophisticated without aloofness. It’s an oriental for those who are just discovering orientals.
тэра – :
The thing that interests me most about this perfume is that most of the reviews are trying to liken it to something that they have smelled before. This was the case for me as well.
I thought it was similar in style to Sisley Soir de Lune, meets Estée Lauder Knowing. This is a beautiful fragrance, very powerful, rich and sweet. I found it rather linear in style, a strong perfume that is almost chewable.
Silage and longevity are astounding as one would expect at these prices, but if you like the fragrance, it’s absolutely worth it!
I didn’t like this as much as Lyric, but I certainly wouldn’t turn down a full bottle!
taganec – :
Amouage fragrances are extraordinary. Even the ones that are not to my personal taste are so finely orchestrated that I am filled with awe. Each one of these creations moves gracefully through a variety of transitions taking the wearer (and those close by) on a delightful olfactory journey. To draw a musical analogy, Amouage compositions are constructed like variations on a theme, each with a series of modulations taking the composition through several enchanting explorations of its olfactory harmony. They’re brilliant without eccentricity, graceful, refined and sustain their character for hours and hours and hours.
Beloved, which I tested today for the first time, is an enchanting rendition of the “theme with variations” style. It’s radiant exploration of rose transitions from a gently powdery sandalwood-coloured opening, to a sweeter but not too sugary fruity-rose phase, to an incense/olibanum-tinged salute to an oriental rose style … and more… Each stage has maintained perfect balance in its elements and consistent moderate sillage throughout the 12 hours since my early morning spritz. So impressive. Utterly exquisite.
duke12 – :
Garlands of pink roses, delicate bunches of dried herbs, an anointing with sweet resins, a freshly oiled but well-worn saddle, and a dollop of creamy vanilla, all tenderly wrapped in a cloak of woods and musk. That is Beloved.
Queen Elizabeth’s most magnificent residence is Windsor Castle. Beloved reminds me of her country home, Sandringham, where she gets to take off her crown and ride horses though the countryside. Beloved is a grand perfume, and don’t you forget it, but it is also disarming, charming, optimistic, and approachable.
Perhaps it is due to the strong dose of dried chamomile (and I am convinced there is a hay note as well) that Beloved reminds me of Aromatics Elixir.
This is a modern chypre with a vintage feel due to the herbs, patchouli, and clove. Clove is one of my favorite notes in all of perfumerie, and I usually find that it provides a dusty effect, rather than piquancy like cinnamon or pepper, as it does here. Despite the lack of oakmoss, I am pleasantly surprised at just how chypre-esque this actually smells.
Beloved is a perfume that foregoes pomp and circumstance, yet gentility remains. Amouage makes perfumes for kings and queens. Beloved fits right in and offers something new to their lineup–a demonstration of vulnerability that is lacking in most of their other fragrances.
Side note: Beloved tends to perform best in cold weather. In warm weather, it just evaporates from my skin.
Strelok9944 – :
I wish I could love this. Today i tried it at a local high-end department store and frankly i was a bit disappointed. Beloved first opened up quite spicy, but as time flew, the scent has become flat. Amouage was famous for its sillage and duration, and Beloved is no exception. I could smell a little on my elbow after a long shower, but at the end it was like a spicy version of Dia (on me).
Guess the chemisty on me isn’t that as spectular as the other viewers.
Trinoirrato – :
My wife loved this perfume from the first time she smelled it , She always wanted this masterpiece but could not found her self shelling out $440 for it , So as a surprise I bought it and it is indeed an excellent perfume , Some compare this perfume to other fragrances , But trust me it is different than every perfumes that it was compared too , Our overall rating on Beloved is 10/10.
Thanks,
dusy64 – :
Seriously love this one. It’s a beautiful spicy, woody, floral blend. I don’t notice this changing on me as much as some reviewers have mentioned. It’s a little fruity in the beginning, and I get more incense toward the end, but other than that, it doesn’t change a whole lot. I don’t get anything leathery or animalic, but I’m not disappointed because I think it’s gorgeous just as it is.
It seems really well blended, so that I have a hard time picking out any individual notes. I would agree with previous reviewers who said it has a vintage feel to it. It seems very grand and heady. Beloved leans feminine, but I think a man could easily wear it too. It lasts all day, and lingers on clothing.
I’ve only worn it in the winter. It seems like a perfect winter scent, but I am anxious to try it in the summer after reading comments here about how nice it is in warm weather.
Syncscest – :
At 7am Beloved was a dry musky spice showing heavy benzoin with lavender, dusty sage,cardamom and civet. I wondered why the fuss about this exorbitantly priced fragrance that reminds me of my grandmother’s kitchen spice. At 11am it was moody daring and intriguing. Cedar and dry herbal spice moving and heating up into a deep rich and dry musky essence with hints of vanilla and violet notes. Different, intriguing beguiling and nothing in common with 7am. By 5pm this was a completely different fragrance.It had become rich floral sweet like summer, not like candy scent. I might have sworn I wore 3 different fragrances instead of one. It is astonishing. This is an artful composition that moves across your personal timeline to deliver a rich creamy sweetness so totally different from its beginning you will doubt its the same substance you started with in the morning. I would have expected the sweeter floral notes to open first. Instead the dry musky sandalwood and benzoin base lasted 4 hours. Leather and old parchment. Then a transition into vanilla rose and violet. Followed by an incredibly sweet drydown that is almost lickable. Not for everyone. These types of scents need a good bit of time to open the modern world doesn’t grant.
Or you just have to get up really early.

About 30 years ago I got a bottle of Vivre by Molineux
as a gift and I remember the smell that I miss so much as it’s been discontinued, Beloved smells the same as vivre. I’m in Melbourne at the moment and just got a bottle of Chanel’s Coromandel and I wish I had another AU$500.00 that’s the price they want for beloved in here. If you ever loved Vivre this is a real dupe. Highly recommended. 10/10.
TRAKT – :
Oh WOW, this one just blossoms in hot weather. I must admit I wasn’t that sold on it when I first got my sample but now, just WOW, simply W O W !!!
I do realise this is not much of a review but at the moment am too much in an awe to be objective. I WANT this bottle now, then I will review properly, I promise.
Edit:
So I have shelled out for this stunning scent and here I am, a month later, still loving it, wearing it almost daily, being obsessed about it and having near enough anxiety attacks and withdrawal symptoms when not wearing it. Yes, this is the effect it has on me.
I particularly love the opening, slightly sharp but sweet and musky rose that lingers on for about an hour or two. It works very well in hot weather like I mentioned above and strangely enough, it smells completely different on a cold cloudy day.
Yes, this Amouage is a serious contender to become my beloved Amouage.
gladiator maxi – :
This is actually a very difficult review to write so bear with me.
Beloved is gorgeous. Wait, I mean its GORGEOUS!!!!!!! If you are a fan of classic french perfumery, then this is a must smell. Just forget about the pink box for a minute because lets be real, this is no pink juice!!
No one note overpowers the other, yet, you can smell them all. But every stage of the perfume drydown is fascinating and different, and a bit hard to describe. One of my favorite stages though is the clary sage/leather stage.
All I can think when I wear it is “wow I smell amazing!” to me thats the sign of a great perfume.
The downside is that the perfume is strong as all get out but, not right out of the bottle; its sneaky that way. Friends don’t let friends overspray so trust when I tell you that you don’t want to go that route.
I did indeed try 4 sprays which was 3 too many. It was VERY BIG, and you WILL leave one hell of a perfume trail.
On one spray, longevity is fantastic; this is not a short lived perfume as I clocked well over 12 hours. 4 sprays however a bomb. It lives on much longer on clothing for sure.
This perfume can be worn at all times of the year, but go VERY easy during hot weather. (though IMO hot weather does make it really shine!)
Expensive? Sure, but a bottle is likely to last a person a VERY long time! Those who are wanting a bargin should look around for it as its making its way through to discounters. As always, don’t buy this blind, test it first and foremost.
dobermans – :
Amazing classic scent and, to be honest, I don’t even know which notes are responsible for my infatuation with this fragrance…
Although the overlap is minimal, Beloved reminds me a lot of my other fave, Miss Dior (original).
Both are what I call grown-up scents, perhaps even 40+ scents. No soapy florals and no sugary sweetness here so, my guess is, the much younger crowd will not like this juice; they might even call it old-lady’ish 😉
Beloved is refined, elegant, powerful – a well dressed, soft spoken female executive who runs a multi billion dollar company, who means what she says, and never has to repeat herself. Or apologize.
Beloved strikes me as an evening scent, that might work best at the opera, or a dinner at some fancy restaurant, or in the bedroom but, again, this is not a submissive scent. If you think about wearing Beloved to the boardroom, go easy; it is powerful.
Longevity: moderate

Stunning…
This is the fragrance I have been searching for. Classy, elegant and sexy.
I can’t fault a single thing about this fragrance. I only wish the price was more affordable.
I want to bathe in it and wear it every day for the rest of my life. I am in love……
