This is such a beautiful scent. I love it. So comforting, yet fresh. I mainly get rice steam and soft florals against a cuddly vanilla backdrop. The vanilla leans powdery-clean and creamy, rather than sticky-sweet. If only it were more easily available. It’s unique and sensual without being imposing, and makes for a perfect signature or day to day scent. It also lasts a good amount of time on me (7 hours) and has a moderate but gentle projection. I can wear this one all year round, but it’s especially lovely in spring and fall. I don’t care much for original Amour, but I also adore Amour le parfum, that one is better suited for cold months.

I am fond of the original Kenzo Amour and even more so of Kenzo Amour Le Parfum. I am currently wearing Amour Indian Holi on the crook of my left arm and the original Amour on the crook of my right arm, Le Parfum only existing as a memory due to the admirable speed with which I finished my 5 ml decant months ago.
The main accords listed here on Fragrantica go Vanilla-Floral-Fresh for the original and Floral-Fresh-Vanilla for Indian Holi. Seems about right to me.
On my skin, the original Amour is all about the vanillic rice pudding on a backdrop of soft, vaguely floral fabric softener. It is round, enticing and slightly sweet. Indian Holi definitely tones down the rice in favor of a floral character that is sharp upon initial application and mellows with time into a fresh, pink breeze of subdued vanilla, red berries and cherry blossom, retaining the character I would still describe as fabric softener. Amour is wider, Indian Holi is straight-forward, if that makes sense. Le Parfum draws on the original more than it does Indian Holi.

Soapy spring florals at first spray, but they begin to warm up as the vanilla, incense and sandalwood come through.
Whats left is a gorgeous creamy and powdery oriental scent.
Its very pretty and comforting and for some reason reminds me of my childhood.
This scent is also surprisingly strong, one spray goes a long way.
Im not familiar with the smell of rice in perfume but i notice it here, it really brings together the whole perfume and gives it a special quality that makes this perfume unique.
I think its perfect for this Autumn

Kenzo amour was my signature scent years ago but I need a fresh test of it,so I can compare these two,I’m gonna edit when I do so
This Indian holi flanker is lovely
It’s an oriental floral or oriental vanilla in my book not a floral woody musk..
This is very soothing, cozy,cuddly and fresh the same time, and I love such a freshness
There is a dominant creamy vanilla,flavored by cherry blossom and a nice,delicious rice steam,little amount of musk and sandalwood to make it deeper and more unique and a touch of frangipani and some other florals to make it more youthful and likable.. Honestly I don’t get mentioned notes individually but I can feel their presence,all I get is soft floral vanilla,wrapped in rice steam and some musky sandalwood.I don’t detect incense and I don’t miss it. It’s creamy,fluffy, warm and fresh as mentioned and one of most beautiful creamy vanillas..everything is blended artistically and result is this adorable, delightful,calming scent..sweetness is not sickening,it’s not like any other perfume I know except original amour,they both share amour signature gene
I wish it was stronger, Longevity is moderate on me.it radiates softly but noticeably for people around you for an hour or two, then it’s almost a skinscent,still I’m happy to wrap myself in this soothing heaven
Edit:
I compared it side by side with original amour and as I thought they share a similar skeleton but Indian holi has more fresh flowers with a slight fruity undertone while the original is more heavy in vanilla-rice pouding.the original is a bit sweeter,warmer and more cozy.has a few hours more longevity and better sillage.indian holy has a slight fruity tartness in opening and has a bit of sharpness comparing to well-rounded, creamy original.
Indian holi is exactly what we can name a day/warm weather version of original amour though it’s wearable year round not just in spring and summer.
It’s difficult to choose which one I prefer.I really enjoy both of them but if I have to choose one,it would be the original amour because it packs more punch and I love creamy, sweet,vanilla scents but now that I have both I can choose each of them in different situations. I’m still a hardcore fan of Kenzo Amour but Indian holi is so good that I’ve already used up my 30mil and purchased a 100mil of it.I love how fresh it is while being a vanilla scent and I love it’s floral freshness, I prefer it to aquatic, ozonic or citrus freshness .this is a heavenly floral-vanilla scent that you may love even if you usually hate florals or vanilla scents
Now I’d really love to have a bottle of Kenzo l’eau amour for these hot summer days and a bottle of discontinued Kenzo Amour le parfum for the future winter
depoy – :
I never thought that I will be in love again
Elarfenforn – :
Indian Holi is a cosy, warm and soft cloud of cherry-vanille with a hint of rice-note.
I like it all year round, a perfume for every occasion.
Longivity and sillage are not so bad on my skin, soft but always in my nose for several hours.
Frangipani offers after a while in a very nice way.
Really a scarf to cuddly in!
Alex_Bell – :
My daughter owns this and was wearing it today. I actually thought she had snuck into my stash and borrowed my Ellen Tracy Bronze perfume…the dry downs are that similar…floral, balsamic, powdery & perfect in the warm late Spring temperatures which seem to bring out its warm notes in the most perfect, balancing way. If the $100+ Kenzo price tags are a bit steep for your budget, I suggest you try ETB…it is very similar & an affordable scent which is easily accessible & found in many discount US stores (Ross, Marshall’s, TJMaxx).
Cheers! xo
vladnad – :
Soft vanilla candied cherry blossom with a hint of incense. Sadly, I also get no sillage or longevity. It’s completely gone in 15 minutes. 8^{
irisha-7 – :
Nothing special unfortunately. This is going to become my bedtime scent. It is a warm vanilla-ish fragrance but it’s barely there on me after about five minutes.
vzmii – :
One of my favorite perfumes because it makes you feel like you’re wrapped up in a warm cashmere sweater drinking some chai on a cold day. The clean smell of rice just makes it even more toasty! 🙂
FriendHenry – :
Beautiful! Sweet yet sophisticated, not a clone of all the fruity florals out there. Alas, it has basically no sillage or lasting power on me, but I still wear it – I just have to reapply often!
Talinam – :
Thanks to a sample from a fellow Fragrantica member, I was able to try this perfume. It has a fresh sweet smell, a little fruity, a hint of sharpness at first sniff but it mellows out rather quickly into a light scent that I have to look for on my skin. Overall it’s a cute scent.
Zador69 – :
I forced my nose to like this one, but it was impossible. This fragrance is too linear to me. As it was ”indian” i though it was going to be spicier and sweeter, but not at all. Much lighter than the original Amour, less vanilla and a hint of cherry flowers. So boring… I switched it with a friend and she gave me the chilling Organza on it’s place. Veeeery annoying and boring.
jelev – :
I liked this scent, but it was very light- very quiet and close to the skin. No matter how much I sprayed I couldn’t smell it unless in put my nose to my wrist.
kuw645JeomiWogkig – :
Heavenly. I searched for a very long time for a perfume that would make me weak in the knees. I found exactly that and more in Indian Holi. This scent is sweet in just the right way, spicy and sensual. It has good lasting power, it isn’t overly strong and the spicy oriental notes are right up my alley. I feel sexy, confident and alluring when I wear this. Indian Holi is definitely my signature fragrance. It’s becoming harder to find, but trust me.. when my large bottle is gone? I will get another one.
inolab – :
You know when you find a fragrance that has everything you are looking for so you don’t need to search any longer? That’s what this perfume is for me. It’s sweet, spicy, clean, fresh, sensual all in one bottle. It’s a trip to heaven each time I spray it.
ggxxxx – :
Very, very comforting. In fact, I use it almost every night just before sleep – it makes me feel sleepy, safe, clean and relaxed. It is lovely, much better than the classic version – it still has the soapiness, vanilla hint and rice-incense note of Kenzo Amour EDP, but the note of cherry blossom makes it just soo soft, like pink, cashmere pullover 🙂
I don’t find it sexy, or bold, but I cannot belive that someone might not like it at all – it’s save – for dinner at grandma’s, for playing with little baby, for party with friends, and even for nice date in the winter evening.
joinnasasobia – :
As a previous reviewer mentioned this, like the original Kenzo Amour, has a note that really puts me off. It turns into a smokey peppery “makes my nose itch” scent within 5 minutes on my skin and then it completely disappears. Of all the Amour flankers I like the Florale best!
Impoftmypejet – :
If I had to describe this perfume in words: Pure Innocence. This scent is like a beatiful young child; naive, innocent, sweet, cute. Nevertheless, I don’t feel one bit childish while I’m wearing it. I feel womanly and sexy. That’s a rare beauty.
p.s
Better then the original.
vladiman – :
There is something in this flanker and the original Kenzo Amour that just doesn’t work with my chemistry. I half suspect that the rice note has a lot to do with it, maybe even the peony too.
I love the name and I love the bottle, but unfortunately the scent doesn’t love me. It becomes quite sharp and rubbery on my skin, with a musky cherry blossom accord mixed with some harsh, smoky incense. I really don’t think I’ll be re-applying Kenzo Amour Indian Holi anytime soon.
I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was disappointed. I really thought I would enjoy this flanker. It would have been nice to smell Kenzo Amour Indian Holi on someone else, especially one with the right skin chemistry. That cherry blossom, vanilla and rice blend must be divine.
Despite this fragrance’s incompatibility with my skin, it did last a good six or more hours and projected quite strongly. I would wear it during Autumn and Winter.
Thankfully Kenzo Amour Le Parfum worked for me, so if there are any other unfortunate people who struggle to wear both this flanker and the original, do try the exclusive Kenzo Amour Le Parfum.
mosya78 – :
Very disappointed. Too light, within 45 minutes it’s gone and no sillage at all! It could be more intense with vanilla, incense, frangipani… More like an EdT to me and really expensive in CH, I’ve given it to my mum.
Жана – :
I am thinking I will make this at home…baby powder with a wisp of curry.
viofor – :
I have no idea what effect if any this scent has on other people when I wear it, but this makes me feel sensual like none other. It’s georgeous!
6atbko1 – :
I tested it with Kenzo Amour on the other wrist. Overall it smells like Amour but a little spicier. From the scent I can’t really tell which one I prefer. Both are lovely and have their own caracter. But the sillage and the longevity of Indian Holi on me are significantly less good than original Amour. With the same amount of application, after 8 hours I can still smell Amour easily but Indian Holi has almost gone since after 5 hours.
Evigen – :
This scent is so GORGEOUS!!! I fell in love with Kenzo Amour but always felt like it was missing something. Indian Holi fills in those gaps quite nicely. Can’t wait for Fall again so I can wear it. It’s a bit warm to wear in AZ weather.
aderof – :
I’m starting to wonder if I perhaps received a mislabeled sample! Because when I tried Indian Holi last night, all I could think was “Wow, this is powdery. A pretty floral, but powdery.” And my opinion has not changed since first putting it on. It lasted several hours on me, and reminded me heavily of Versace Baby Rose Jeans AND Kenzo Flower, not because of a noticeable rose or violet note, but because of the powdery quality it has. Lasting power was phenomenal on me.
I get no fruit. It is fresh, not heavy or cloying, and could easily be worn in the hotter half of the springtime, I think… It really is very nice: dainty, feminine in a fragile and delicate way, like a young woman with a lace parasol walking through the park. But it is unapologetic, too, in that it lets you know of its presence and doesn’t back down for quite some time. It is very well done, and I will use my sample, but I doubt I would order a full bottle of this.
TeedSlemy – :
first off I just had to try this because alot of these notes here are indeed most of the my favorites! cherry Blossom, Pink Pepper, Plumeria, Vanilla, incense and rice! and the bottle looks super cool too! my kind of my frag! when I sprayed it on, I kinda got the same play doh scent I got from Hypnotic Poison, still good enough for me though, the dry down smelt better on me then HP did, I was enjoying this lovely but play dohish scent until I discovered the last power isn’t too great! which really sucks because I do like this scent alot!
FAIR – :
I bought this because I was looking for a spicier fall/ winter scent to wear. It does not stay on me! Like within 30 minutes it’s gone. Considering it’s not that cheap, I would not repurchase.
papaorlov – :
I attended a fragrance event a few years back and was introduced to the original Kenzo Amour. For me it was just “meh OK” then the rep showed me this LE gem and I went bonkers! I don’t know how to describe “notes” but this is a lovely exotic fruity floral but it is more mature and sexier than a typical summer fruity scent. I absoltuely LOVE this, so much that I have bought a backup bottle since it is an LE and for now is still fairly easy to find.
Ramscarawer – :
To me, this fragrance is grace in a bottle.
It’s that girl who is very pretty, then you discover that she’s bright, genuine and kind, too.
The name? Well, I’ll just take the word of other reviewers about the meaning. I have never been to India, so I really don’t have a clue.
As for the fragrance, I actually pick up some rose in this. It appears that other reviewers haven’t noticed it on themselves, but on me it is subtle, but there.
I’m mostly getting cherry blossom, creamy vanilla and rice. This is sweet without being over-the-top and it’s well-blended into a lovely and very feminine fragrance. It lasts for hours, but it’s not a silliage bomb on me.
If you’re looking for a versatile fragrance for day or evening, this is a good one.
viktor_1984 – :
I loved Amour but I have to admit I love Indian Holi even more. there’s an extra dimension to it, its more interesting and special. I want a full bottle, right now!!!
Shescicheno – :
A happy reward for my daliances in the dusty back shelves of perfume stores! Although this limited edition gem was out of stock at the store, I sampled it from the almost empty display bottle, and fell in love!
This gentle, mysterious, powdery-sweet-spicey blend was immediatley delightful, and had settled down to a soft,delicate incense-like prettiness by the time I realized that the store had discontinued selling it 🙁
I jumped online and found it easily 🙂 That was 2 days ago, and as I write I am listening hopefully for the delivery truck!
The scent lingered all day when I tried it, seeming to mingle with my own skin in a most flattering way. Even after showering it was detectable, thankfully! Not in a bullyish way, more like I’d adopted it and it was happy to live with me! The wonderful harmonies between the sweetly spicey essence of Indian Holi with my favorite vanilla and pretty flowery notes is a joy to experience. Maybe it’s on my front porch now so I can welcome it home again!
XMMD3442 – :
I have never liked the original kenzo amour because it reminded me the smell of rice, which i hate. also, i found it sweet in a bad way and almost linear.
now, my sister`ve borrowed indian holi, and I`m almost in love with it.
it takes the idea in kenzo amour and reinterprets it adding more spice to overlap the sweetness, which gives it a whole new sense of complexity.
powerinssside – :
Literally perfect. Soft and delicate but sweet. Definitely more fruit than the original. A little over sweet at first but it mellows and lingers with a warm scent. I wouldnt call it “spicy” but there are notes somewhere in there.
alurams – :
This is the best perfume my wife wears nowadays! Perfect scent!
colt_93 – :
Spices attack me !!! Lol. Yeah..fierce, strong on my skin.. the wave of incense and cherry blossom fulfill the air. Pink peppers and vanilla detected after 20 minutes, the scent is softer.,sensual, warm. Sandalwood appears after next 15 minutes. Okay..honestly I’m lookin for Kenzo Amour but can’t find it in my country anymore,but this one is great second choice. Longevity and silage are good. A lovely blind buy 😀
mhb1980 – :
A lot alike Kenzo Amour, just a little bit softer. I like it alot. Cherry, Vanilla, Rice and Musk stands out most on my skin. Great every-day-scent.
Mycket lik Kenzo Amour, bara lite mjukare i framtoningen. Jag gillar den enormt. Körsbärsblomma, Vanilj,Ris och Musk är de doftnoter jag känner bäst på huden. Härlig varje-dag-doft.
timzug – :
Well, this is definitely cherry blossom and creamy vanilla, absolutely delicious scent. Very lasting and remains deliciously creamy all the way through. Every single person at work said how gorgeous this smells yet nobody can pinpoint what the scent actually is. I am surprised by how gorgeous it smells and how long it lasts. Wow
ErommaNow – :
This is just the most beautiful Vanilla I’ve ever come across. When I finish this bottle I’m def buying another. Just perfect…
botik – :
I finally received this after craving it for a year. Let me start by saying I have an obsession with India and Asian cultures, so when I first saw it on the shelves I knew that I will fall in love with it. The perfume accents a lot of important ingredients and scents that you would smell visiting India and the cherry blossom you would smell visiting Japan as well. The scent bursts with juicy red berries that quickly gives its place to spicy creamy cherry blossom. The floral heart emerge itself after that turns it into a romantic journey by itself. The incense is always there but it’s not suffocating incense neither in your face, in contrary the incense only adds a smokey mysterious allure to this fragrance.The pink pepper and the spices tickle your nose as it goes to its dry down which has a woodsy vanilla creamy texture complimented by the long lasting cherry blossom that lingers.
The fragrance staying power is excellent 6 to 8 hours on my skin, sillage isn’t so strong it would only project itself around half of meter radius around you and the sillage last for 2 hours then it turns to a skin scent that evolves by the time spent on your skin.
My man was surprised by how romantic, sensual and feminine ( his exact words) so it’s definitely a scent that would suit a romantic date, a night of passion and anytime you feel like you want to smell divine.
Its suitable to all seasons, night and day. It can take you from an office setting to a romantic date. I tried it before in the summer and the only difference that the vanilla and incense were more prominent with the heat but nothing unbearable or headache inducing (for me and others).
As for myself I will be wearing this while enjoying a homemade Indian curry dinner with my husband.
If you love cherry blossom this is a must have.
PS: Thanks hubby for finally getting this for me 🙂
programi – :
It is more fruity-flowery rice and less creamy vanilla that K amour.The spiced smells just in the beginning.
aydinsa – :
oooh! I love this one! Definitely the best kenzo amour and a new favorite of mine! I will keep this around in my wardrobe for a long time. The name suits it perfectly, it is a playful happy scent. If anyone has ever seen the celebrations of holi, or the festival of colors, it is just amazing! Imagine a crowd of thousands of adults and children just throwing colorful powder on one another in such joy and carelessness, with huge smiles! Its what I imagine living in a rainbow filled world would feel like! This scent absolutely makes you feel like that…so free spirited, a happy go lucky type of personality who falls in love carelessly. A new fave! I cant believe I never tried this one before.
As for the notes, they are all detectable! Frangipani with a hint of light spices nothing harsh or in your face, and the vanilla is there all the way through, the cherry blossom shines as well. Beautifully picked ingredients that really work good together to make an unforgettable scent. I have never smelled anything like it! Unique
For an oriental floral
10/10

I bought it for my mom cause I liked it at the store. It’s zesty and unobtrusive at the same time.
90scorpion90 – :
well, it is very nice lovely smell on my skin.
on top i can smell the magnolia, rice.. and a lot more of frangipani.. (thats make a very unusual smell)
first i wear it at morning for work, but it just 4 hours in my skin.:(
and my friends tell me i should wear it at night…:)
its smell good nice, its kenzo
i gave it 8/10
xbondx – :
I adore this! I much prefer it to the original Kenzo Amour. Hooray for it being the first frangipani fragrance not to give me a raging headache!
It’s more of a skin scent on me and smells so feminine, romantic and sexy. Everything is so well balanced and rounded, love love love! I’ll be wearing this on a romantic getaway with my man next month, that’s for certain!
zellis – :
I got a sample of this in the mail today. As I put it on my wrist and took a whiff, I immediately pictured myself walking into a candlelit bedroom that had flower petals on the bed and incense burning on the night stand. I’m in love.
freedoww – :
I bought this years ago so I liked it at some point but I have really grown to hate a lot of scents I used to love. This, like the others, is just heavy and artificial to me.
Tryceraton – :
Mmmmmm… smells so yummy.. i just wanna eat it!
Vovik80 – :
Indian Holi is a beautiful mixture of innocence and edginess. At first sniff it’s romantic, musky and beautiful then it turns into a subtle, smoky, sexy addiction. The musk blends in lavishly soon after application. The end result is vibrant and alluring. When I smell it I see cheerful people dancing. It’s a dynamic scent full of sensuality and charm.
Update: It’s summer now, and I am enjoying my Indian Holi much more now! The heat makes it VERY sexy on my skin. Just when I thought I couldn’t love it anymore, wow!
бузулук – :
Kenzo Amour Indian Holi starts out soft, sweet, and warm, with flowers, rice milk, and red fruits over a base of incense and the littlest bit of spice. At times, Indian Holi smells like peach cobbler a la mode; at others, it smells like rice pudding with saffron; and at yet others, like incense and vanilla.
Despite its name, there’s very little spice to be found here; if you’re looking for a perfume with those gorgeous Indian chai spices, you’ll have to look elsewhere. The name Indian Holi refers not the spiciness of Indian cuisine, but the bright, colorful nature of Holi, a holiday in India where people throw rainbow colored pigments on each other in celebration.
It’s odd, but Amour Indian Holi smells reminiscent of Burberry Brit EDP, although I can’t really pick any single notes that they share in abundance other than vanilla. They both have that “peach cobbler a la mode” smell despite both lacking peach, although Brit is more fruity and bold than the soft incense of Indian Holi.
I’m not yet sure if I want to invest in a bottle of Indian Holi when I’ve got a full bottle of Brit hanging around for those peach cobbler-craving days, but that rice pudding and incense is so delicious that I might just go out of my way to grab a bottle of this as well.

I have to say that this is one of my favorite perfumes. It is not overt in any way. It is a perfect mix of sweet and sassy. It does not try too hard with sweet, spice or floral but a blend of all make a wonderful symphony together. This perfume always lifts my mood and is a goto for me when I want a unique and comforting scent around me. I love the name and the bottle and the contents in it. You can’t see the color of the juice through this bottle but I imagine is it a light golden color with all the sunny brightness and uplifting feeling this one gives me. As with a lot of Kenzo you will definately get vanilla but mostly the exotic florals, incense and spices make this a must have for any collection.
ROBOPAC – :
I was drawn to the gorgeous fluid shape of the bottle but sadly the fragrance was a disappointment. For me, it is overly sweet and lacks any depth.
SZ7 – :
I tested it the second time yesterday.
First time I tried it in May. In warm weather the fragrance developed into a creamy warm and thick scent – the incense and vanilla were very loud.
Yesterday in cool rainy weather Indian Holi turned rather cold and less creamy with rose, peony and musk being the most prominent notes. Still it was very lovely, feminine and peaceful.
DicaIdeocionakk – :
have it, and really like it! sweet, warm and spiced vanilla, it´s absolutly a winter fragance. adorable! everybody ask me what i´m wearing when i put this on.
oh! i almost forgot to said, it last for ever, and ever, and more…
Lantan – :
Lo probe junto con el Kenzo amour, que les puedo decir para mi este es mejor y tiene una aroma embriagador y adictivo , me encanta y sobre todo que a otros les encante. Cuando me lo pongo suelo tener muchos halagos por el aroma . delicios0¡¡¡¡
staro – :
I Love LOVE LOVE this scent! I is simply amazing. It is different from anything I own. And when this bottle is gone; I will purchase another. If it is discontinued – I will have heart failure. I simply can’t explain it any other way than sunshine in a bottle. Just makes me wish I could spray it right in my face – j/k! But if you haven’t smelled it -your missing out!
rustam1583 – :
This is just such a lovely and warm scent. It’s subtle and not overpowering not matter the quantity. One of my top ten favorite fragrances. This is a perfume that you can wear year round. I get 3 main ingredients out of this vanilla, pink pepper and the peony…it’s so much more as the scent evolves but really a wonderful perfume and well made…I own a lot of KENZO!
roman-kolomyia – :
I like this fragrance a lot, but I can’t figure out what’s Indian about it. I get cherry blossoms pretty well, but I definitely associate cherry blossoms with Japan. I don’t really detect any spices or incense, so I was a bit disappointed. Despite my disappointment with the lack of “Indian-ness,” I still would consider buying this. It’s probably best example of cherry blossoms in perfume that I know of.
WeetImmerie – :
ok, this scent is amazing, beautiful, delicious, only NOT ON ME!! OH WHY?? I’m just so disappointed! I sprayed this on a test strip and kept it for the whole day. I thought it smelled absolutely divine! It was spicy, exotic, sexy, warm, just addictive! I couldn’t stop smelling it! So a few days later I decided to spray it on my skin. Only this time it smelled totally different. This may sound wierd, but on my skin, it developed this weird scent that reminded me of play dough! So weird! But everyone I asked thought it smelled like play dough too. I noticed this with some other vanilla based orientals. Some smell like play dough on me and some don’t. I don’t know WHAT that note is that smells like that on my skin, but it makes me really mad because I wish I could wear this! Hahaha! All I have to say is that this a good perfume, but may not work with everyone’s chemistry, so DEF test it on your SKIN and wear a while before you buy it!
андрей1972 – :
this is nice and gental to . i just tested this beside the original Kenzo amour. thi to me isent very much more spicy the way i thought i would be , but almost sweeter in away.
I think its the Rice that is more prominant in this one . the original vanilla , heliotrop is there , but the peony and cherry blosoms makes it more interesting , the spices aswell . allthoug like i sayed , not very strong.
this to me have almost more play dooh feel to it then the original. nice , but note worth the buy imo.
a little to shy and simple
kazancew1984 – :
I am in love! This is sweet but not syrup-y gourmand IMO. I get spices like cinnamon and cardamom, beautiful sandalwood, a bit of incense, dry vanilla. This is slightly sweet from the vanilla but not at all syrup like; almost like chai-tea! Very pleasant! I just bought a bottle and it will be perfect for the autumn season!
p2517 – :
I love this one. Smell very well soft and sweet.
Baberaree – :
This is lovely, youthful incense infused scent. I absolutely love it. The cherry blossom is nicely balanced by the smokiness, and the spice is very light, just giving the sweetness an edge.
Dmitriken – :
A charming little thing. The first impression was ”oh no, another fruit syrup”. Yes, it is extremely sweet, but the combo cherry blossom – spices is a lucky one. I’m not fond of gourmand sweet fragrances, but should I pick up one, I would take Amour Indian Holi.
fgi797speagoessenda – :
This is a beautiful, exotic floral scent. By far the best cherry-blossom scent I’ve encountered yet.
The sweet cherry-blossom is the star of this perfume, along with the fresh rice steam, rose (not listed above), incense, and vanilla. It is warm and fresh at the same time. This certainly isn’t loud or over-the top. It is gorgeous and soft, and would work as an everyday scent any time of the year.
The bottle is stunning, and captures the fragrance inside well – colourful, beautiful and cheery!
mednikolai – :
I adore it – the incense adds just the right amount of smokiness to the sweetness of the cherry blossom. It imbues it with a slightly mystical, exotic air that is perfectly in keeping with the name. That said, it has absolutely no staying power, at least on me. I sprayed it on my wrist, and it was all but gone an hour later. Divine, but unfortunately, very short-lived. Like being taken up to heaven and then unceremoniously kicked out, all in one afternoon.
urinEefer – :
This smells like every other oriental perfume out there. It is not original and it is certainly forgettable.

I had a hard time warming-up with it, but thinking twice is an amazing exotic scent…of course, not suitable for daily use 😉
dima-i23 – :
I had this one and it was the version of Amour I liked most. It had a bit of spice and raunchyness to it. But even here the original Amour note was so strong and getting on my nerves with the drydown – because the spicyness and raunchyness faded away then. If you are looking for these kind of spices in a stronger way, have a look at Tova and “Nirvana”. It’s also a scent inspired by India – and Indian Holi for me was like a light version of “Nirvana”.
harek – :

I got a sample of this one and I am in love!! Smells so sexy, so soft, so comforting…I can’t stop smelling myself…I WILL be buying the big bottle! In the mean time I think me and my baby need to go take an afternoon “nap”. LOL

i think this perfume is ok. i wish there was an “in between button” b/c i wouldn’t say “i like this and want to buy it” but i wouldn’t say i dislike it either. i like it better than regular amour. this one is lighter and i like that i smell a berry or something sweet. i don’t see berries listed as an ingredient, but i smell something berry-ish and just think this one is nicer. i will have to resample to give a better opinion as i often find i need to try a perfume a few times before i decide how i like it.

I initially fell in love with Kenzo Amour but after I smelled this its my definate favorite of the two. It just has that extra something special. Its warm and cozy smelling and the incense is amazing. Another beautiful fragrance from Kenzo.

I just tried Amour Indian Holi. I havent ever smelt the regular amour, but this one is quite delicious, however it doesnt last very long.
