My favorite floral aldehyde.
This style of perfume could not be more out of fashion at the moment, however. For those of you who find it overwhelming or too soapy to wear, wait for a warm, sunny, spring morning, then apply very lightly. One spray. Or perhaps decant a tiny bit to a dabber then dab only a couple times. That will give you the best chance of finding the beauty in a floral aldehyde.
Yes, LOTS of aldehydes at the beginning. For those of us who love them, they feel formal and elegant. They make you stand a little taller and raise your expectations for the day. The florals edge in gradually, as natural smelling as can be. Divine, a perfumery that spares no expense on materials, probably used at least some naturals here. The ambergris drydown feels both warm and light to me, in contrast to the initial weight of the aldehydes.
The whole is indescribably beautiful. I’m just not capable of communicating its beauty. If you love floral aldehydes, particularly any of the Chanel aldehydes, you owe it to yourself to sample this one at least once.

Oh I loved this one! It does have similarities with No 5 rather than No 22 (Chanel) but its much more interesting or rather it is compared to the reformulated No5 that we get nowadays. It is truly gorgeous…bright, slightly spicy with the aldehyde wafting through (I don’t have a problem with aldehydes as long as they don’t totally dominate) Love this range of perfume – they are all done really well and I urge anyone looking for a new line to try this one. Far superior to Ormonde Jayne and Tauer…its all personal taste. Great sillage and very feminine.

L’ame soeur is a classic aldehydic floral. It is quite similar to No. 22, but it lacks the interesting incense note, so it is less complex. Really pretty and just a bit powdery, I find it a springtime perfume – it is too cold for winter.

L’Ame Soeur is a really lovely fragrance. It might not be the most exceptionally original thing on this earth, but it’s really made with great skill.
The flowers, the woods and the powdery notes blend together very well and what I love in scents (and most reformulated ones have totally lost) is the path to the drydown from the top notes: many – too many – scents have accustomed us to a steep slope and from head to toe you go in minutes.
With L’Ame Soeur not so, and this is something I love. A scent has to take its time to live with you and L’Ame Soeur leads you slowly, very slowly, like a lazy walk in a garden on a winter sunny day, when you want to linger there to make the day last longer. And, yes, there’s someone by your side, that’s why you want the walk to last.
In my opinion this is more similar to Chanel N°22 than N°5. The opening is certainly N°22 even though sparkles of N°5 peep here and there.
Very beautiful composition, I’m in love with this scent. Elegance does not need to scream.
Lovely and classy, you can’t be out of place with it.

The first spray of L’Ame Soeur puzzled me- it smells very familiar, but I could not quite put my hand on what it was. As it developed, and then by looking at the notes, enlightenment came- aldehydes, so obvious and yet despite the initial blast of them, I did not connect the two dots.
The fragrance is not very strong, but had a good projection. It is soapy, airy, light like a soap bubble, and yet abundant in rose, ylang-ylang ans vetyver. Aldehydes are the most prominent note that never goes away…
To me, it is very similar to John Galliano EDP- a similar combination of rose and aldehydes. I personally find the latter a bit more interesting, nevertheless Ame Soeur is a well blended fragrance that is suitable for any weather and if you like soapy scents, a bridge between the past and present, this one might be up your alley.

It is an amazingly blended floral. Elegant and bubbly at the same time. On my skin I discovered one of the best jasmine and lots of powdery notes- strikingly similiar to Love, Chloe.
Niche perfume do not last long on my skin, same here: after 4 hours is has completely vanished…

When I first donned Divine L’AME SOEUR, I had a difficult time placing what precisely it was that this perfume was reminding me of. It wasn’t flowers; it wasn’t another perfume; it wasn’t a cleaning product; and it wasn’t a shampoo or conditioner. And then suddenly it popped into my mind: the organic chemistry lab where I did research as an undergraduate! L’AME SOEUR smells to me like the swirling solvents in the flasks clamped at various stations throughout the large laboratory where several graduate students spent virtually all of their working days and I spent a fair amount of time myself. Could it be benzene that I recognize in this composition? Let us hope not, since that solvent has been determined to be carcinogenic. Well, whichever liquid L’AME SOEUR is reminding me of, it’s not something that I’d want to wear as perfume.
Although the alkaline quality of this composition is vaguely reminiscent of the Keiko Mecheri LOUKHOUM perfumes and also Stella Cadente MISS ME, here it is not accompanied by nutty turrón and just smells like an organic chemistry solvent to me–not at all like a floral aldehyde perfume (Chanel no. 5, White Linen, Calèche, Fleurs de Rocaille, Arpège…). Désolée.

All the feminine fragrances by Divine that I tried so far, striked me as incredibly classic, especially if compared to their masculines which usually have a remarkable modern twist. L’Ame Coeur makes no exception with its clear french perfumery vibe.
An extremely feminine concoction of sparkling aldehydes and clean florals with fruity undertones. Evolves into a powdery, long lasting, musky drydown. IMO there are no reasons to choose this over the millions of better compositions of the same genre available on the market but, it can be pretty cool assuming you’re into classic yet quite youthful fragrances. Sort of “post-Chanel” kind of stuff.
Rating: 6.5/10

A beautiful and surprisingly fresh floral – almost zesty in nature, with sparkling aldehydes that remind me of champagne. There is a faint background of herbs, perhaps some spearmint, along with lemon and a light amber. This would be a wonderful Spring or Summer scent – the bulgarian rose comes through in the heart of the perfume, but it wont knock you out. The rose here is a silky, lacey vintage couture gown rather than a dusky velvet cloak.
The card that came with my sample also lists notes of jasmin, ambergris & liatrix. The jasmin is beautifully blended, it’s a powdery jasmine, the fragrance of a jasmine-scented dusting powder on a downy feather powder-puff. The ambergris is also added with a light touch, nothing drowns the powdered jasmine and the comforting yet sensual ylang-ylang. I am not at all sure what “liatrix” is, so cannot comment on this note!
An uplifting, unusual and perfectly harmonious floral that charms the wearer throughout the day. Never overpowering, but certainly never dull, L’Ame Soeur is a bouquet of jasmine & roses gently dusted with lemon sherbet! A strange image, I know, but this is a playfully sensual and intriguing perfume for ladies who live life to full!
