I have a mini bottle gifted to me by a lovely fragrantican, this is a very pretty scent but not the most unique or lovely YR offering by far. That said, I could see this being a very popular crowd pleaser. Ode is a better more high quality version of Imari Elixir but deeper, more intense, kinda jammy from the plum. more wood and less musk. And it doesn’t just turn to fabric softener on my skin like Elixir does. Pretty decent silage, will update later on longevity.

I have an original 1.7 oz bottle of this (a blind purchase) and it is very little used. On me, a sweet powdery amber is mostly what I smell and I’m just not a fan. I prefer floral rather than sweet perfumes, like Yves Rocher’s Pivoine which I also have and looove! I’d like to exchange this for another, please reply to my comment if interested in an exchange. Any floral perfume regardless of size or brand will do!
Kaktys – :
A beautiful tart fruity scent, the plus shine in this, however don’t overspray it! It will turn so jammy on your skin.
Lissa17 – :
I have the vintage that is utterly lovely. Yes, it is fruity with plum, tart black currant and some green apple but very deep with some patchouli and musk, strong sandalwood and some tiny hint of light floral that is not ylang or rose. So very pretty. Close to the skin like a vintage perfume should be. Not a modern beast. For getting close.
Angarsk2011 – :
This perfume remind me of Tom Ford noir pour femme.
SladeSmafKams – :
I like fruity scents, but with this one, all I could really smell was the apple, which I’m not a big fan of. Other than than, it has a nice staying power, but I wish I could sense more of the floral notes.

Had a mini of this in junior high, now I have a mini of it again. I never realized just how unique this is until I smelled a bajillion other fragrances. The mini I am smelling has been used a tiny bit and the scent has changed a little, but time has mostly been kind to it and it smells essentially like I remember it doing back in the day.
I could never have picked out blackcurrant and plum as the major players in this fragrance. They both seem too dark for this pastel pink concoction. This is the epitome of lovely. It’s a fresh-faced girl on her graduation day holding a huge bouquet of pink roses while her highschool sweetheart takes a picture of her. They haven’t realized that they want to go to separate colleges yet and all is well in the world. It’s uplifting, sweet but not saccharine, fruity but not cheap.

got an oil massage from Yves Rocher called Caresse d,amour with a similar style of bottle and image and SHAME shinning pink liquid,does anybody know if its from the same line?
hii652Negeltzex – :
I miss this perfume so much!!
It was one unique blend!! Let me tell you.
Plump is the first thing that i smell, it is combined with a flower bouqet and some cranberry with dark rose wine.
The lasting power was amazing!! it stayed put all day!
They dont sell this no more!! They replaced it with garbage.
pompyrmn190Negeltzex – :
I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this scent. And honestly…2 months ago i met my man just because of this perfume.
MSG to ppl who gave finger down to this perfume: before u buy some scent, try it on your skin. Because its your sking which makes perfume smell perfect. Not the perfume. 🙂 And its not only about this scent..Before u buy something, try it on your skin and wait for 5 hours. 🙂
With my too good nose I sometimes suffer between ppl. But…this scent makes my day for 13 years. Its not only because it smells incedible. If u look into fragrances and check aromatherapy and compare it, this scent has something what makes your brain rest. I have never had perfume like this before and i will look for it untill it will be still available somewhere. 🙂 I always get compliments because of this scent.
And maybe i will try to make my own one, since i love DIY stuff and homemade perfumes.
Or…Yves Rocher…please could u start to make this scent again ?:-)
hitfly – :
It’s one of those perfumes that I don’t know why it’s in my collection. I bought it and loved it for awhile, and I just can’t get rid of it. I gave it to my mom and it somehow ended up back with me. lol It’s a fruity oriental. The blackcurrant is strong and full of vines, but the base notes keep it from being too sour. I like it in the spring. Something about it reminds me of standing under a blackcurrant vine, dew, and spring time.
taras80 – :
I was expecting a soft, powdery vanilla/rose/gourmand type of scent. But I was way off.
This smells like a pine tree, or like menthol. There must be patchouli here?!
The black currant is very strong, but I can`t smell ANY of the other listed notes.
The bottle do NOT match the scent at all.
Yes, it`s similar to YSL Elle.
wcc941InsuffBooni – :
This fragrance smells to me not just sweet, but also a bit sour, and very tasty also. It is a gourmand smell! You can enjoy especially plum and black currant and feel is spicy at the beggining, latter on it dries down with woodsy and vanilla notes.
divoom89 – :
This is THE sweetest thing I’ve ever smelt! It’s like a potent honey-sugar mix. It’s like… instant diabetes…! I can’t even smell any of the other notes in this because they’re buried somewhere deep under the sugar. Have I gotten a totally defect bottle? The perfume inside is so sweet I can’t imagine anyone being able to wear it… Even Hypnose and La Vie Est Belle from Lancôme aren’t this sweet, and those two are over-the-top sweet for me
oXy – :
Had it few years ago. Very girly and very sweet. Too swet for me. I like to smell it on someone but I won’t use it again.
zrg-5 – :
A very fruity plum fragrance with a blast of blackcurrant. On the dry down it is slightly spicy yet woodsy. This fragrance really does last for hours. Cute bottle.
inhiccarf – :
I just bought a Halle Berry Reveal The Passion and it really reminds me of this old Yves Rocher classic.
ksblanka – :
I completely forgot I had it years ago… I really loved the tangy blackcurrant note counterbalancing the sweetness of the composition. Then the plum and amber with a hint of rose. Not quite a “pink” fragrance. It was really mouthwatering, full of dark fruit on an ambery background. Such a shame I can’t get hold of this any more…
ALIEN69 – :
this perfume is still on sale on their website dated 10/11/2012 in fact it is sitting at half price at moment … hope this helps was looking to see if they had any perfume which is close to 8e jour ,.,…
teresaanna – :
I just recently tested this from a vintage mini bottle, heavenly. It is discontinued like all the rest of the good ones from Yves Rocher! I don’t want to fall in love with a scent that is unattainable so my mini stays on display and will not be used. I don’t want to be addicted to another scent that is not available.
kuli4 – :
Sweet and fruity, a very cheerful fragrance. Inoffensive, perfect for the day time for young girls.
I remember this was one of my first perfumes when I was in my early teens. And I think that’s a good choice for girls entering the world of perfumes… but perhaps not as good for older, more demanding perfume users. It is nice and pleasant, of course, but in my opinion it lacks definitive personality.
djanay – :
I smell no floral in this at all. Smells like paint thinner. I like Florals but not this one. Maybe the sample was spoiled.
velzedushko – :
I bought this scent when it firts came, about 10 or more years ago. And I absolutely loved it. It was a perfect smell for a teenaged girl. I remember many people came to aks what scent I was wearing because I smelled so great.
Years went by and one day I ordered this scent again, it didn’t work anymore..It smelled good anyway, but it just wasn’t for me any more. It is a very sweet, flowerly, lovely scent for young girls I think.
suyandex – :
its the best perfume i had in my life,i love it!
Пеня – :
I still have a small bottle, feel disapointed that YR discontinued the line…it gets me in the mood for love… and i’m 30!!

Taken from Yves Rocher’s web site, the notes are:
Mirabelle, Blackcurrant, Plum, Ylang-Ylang, Amber, Rockrose and Sandalwood.
Ode à l’Amour is a sweet and heavy perfume with excellent longevity and incredible sillage.
As soon as I spray it, I can smell the intensely sweet, full and round scent of plums (as if they were taken from a cake) and sandalwood.
Ode à L’Amour does not change much on my skin but it is still quite complex and multidimensional.
When I press my nose against my skin, close my eyes and breathe in, I get warm plums and plum cake with oriental sandalwood and light redcurrant (bitter and fresh), rose, (cool, slightly sweet), ylang-ylang (rich, full) and amber (soft, cuddly).
All in all Ode à L’Amour is sweet, heavy and longlasting and projects very well.
A great fragrance, of course it was discontinued…
starlinger – :
I used up a full bottle of this in high school, I believe. That was about 6 years ago, but I remember loving it. It was warm, fruity, and incredibly rich and…thick. I am utterly heart broken that Yves Rocher discontinued the Ode series.
svetlin91 – :
This perfume seemed a bit too girlish for me, though I enjoyed the intriguing spicy-peppery note in it. It’s recommendable for a younger audience, though I’m not sure if it could be still purchased from Yves Rocher.
n5snsc – :
i had it when i was 14-15. now i’m 23 and i want it badly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! unfortunately there’s no Yves Rocher in the country i live now.
klandervol – :
In my early twenties I liked it : nice, romantic, a good day-wear scent. Something that fits to “your first love”. Today I wouldn’t buy it anymore 🙂
Hoplreot – :
I had it in my early 20’s , when it first came out .
It’s a very pretty scent, not very distinctive , but very pleasant to wear , fruity , romantic and fortunately not too sweet . Moreover it’s really affordable . Worths to be buyed.
Can be gifted to a “perfume beginner” , for a nice step into the “world of scents ” .
lykovica – :
It was one of my favorite EDT when I was 17, now I’m 32 and it is too sweet and not enough sophisticated. For young girls.
A few days ago, I discovered Ode à l’amour Passionnément and Tendrement and it gave me the idea to taste it again. Perhaps I could love it again ? But I’m pretty sure that Ode à l’amour Passionnément will be my favorite one because it’s the most accomplished, according to me.
exert – :
Thanks Icekat for adding the notes you could find!!
pabede – :
Ode à l’amour is charming and romantic. It reminds me of spring in Paris with romance and love in the air. It is pretty, youthful and alluring. It makes me think of a bouquet of gorgeous pink roses. There are no roses in this perfume but the soft floral heart with a touch of spicy plum creates the scent that reminds me of a fine rose perfume.
The plum notes are beautiful in this perfume with a touch of spice and black current. In the heart notes, the plum notes are masterfully combined with ylang-ylang. The scent is not heavy but it has substance and beautiful presence. The scent continues into the base note but retains this beautiful soft fruity floral quality.
I always get compliments when I wear this scent. People describe it as soft, romantic and charmingly sweet but not overpowering.
Notes from Yves Rocher UK site: Mirabelle Plum, Currant Blossom, Damason Plum, Ylang-Ylang, Amber, Cistus, and Sandalwood.
sever8712 – :
I absolutly loved this fragrance, I was very dissapointed when it disappeared.
nikvad – :
Ode à l’amour is one of the sweetest scents I have ever owned.
I loved the plum explosion that happened with it.
It brings back memories.
DjMarsel007 – :
At the first glimpse it is a typical fragrance for teenage girls – very fruity, transparent and fresh; with no heavy tones to disturb its youthfulness. There is something about this perfume, however, which makes mature women like it too. Spicy notes add to the scent a little sharpness, ripe fruits bring the idea of feminine sensuality… I still don’t know what should I think of this, whether it is a masterpiece or just a piece of very good job. It’s not quite suitable for the day nor for the evening but so pleasant that I cannot help wearing it. Confusing as it may be, it is worth trying it.
GatLetactiotT – :
I used to have this several years ago and I remember smelling a note of rose in this one. I don’t think I liked this very much… I had this so long time ago so I don’t remember exactly. But I remember my mum kept complaining that this had a too strong smell. 🙂
denioushen – :
this is a romantic and captivating fragrance. one of the best I have ever smelt.
Alvoal – :
Notes:
Sub-titled ‘an elixir de parfum’, a fruity floral fragrance with notes of currant blossom, Mirabelle plum, Damason plum, cistus, ylang-ylang, amber and sandalwood
AlexChernianskiy – :
I used to wear this a lot back when I was a teenager (my signature scent). I had the sparkly body lotion as well. Oh, I felt so pretty when wearing this:) I’m actually looking for a similar, but a bit more grown up, fragrance now.
Edit: I had to buy it again after all these years. I have to admit it’s not the same as I remember. Much more spicy. It’s good, but not fantastic.
Edit II: I guess my skin chemistry was a bit off when I wore this couple of months ago, because now it is just as I remembered it. Plummy, creamy, rich and sweet yet calm and sensual fragrance. One of my favorites by Yves Rocher, still.
rdprf – :
Adorable…right in between “little girl” and “woman”. Not weightless and mindless but not heavy and matronly. Girly…but this is a grown woman reminiscing of girlhood nostalgically (and not in a deluded sad way.)
Werisap – :
This wonderful little fragrance is one of my favorites. It starts of with a fruity fragrance and transforms into a sandal-woody scent that is so relaxing.
And at $9 dollars….who could ask for anything more.
BipFlotaFlath – :
Wonderfully sweet, warm, sexy and rich scent. Another great combination from Yves Rocher.
cwo591JeomiWogkig – :
This was one of my first perfumes I remeber that Dad bought it for me after a buisness trip in Leon. I remember it being very floral and sweet but otherwhise I can’t remember much about this scent…
vru346Unlogrere – :
This perfume was one of my firsts, i got it when i was 11 i think and i also had the cream-perfume version of it. I just remember that i really liked this fragrance, its sweet, a little bit fruity and soft. A nice everyday scent for spring or autumn, not overpowering and long lasting. The flacon with the pink-water is also cute and unique.
par2009Valik – :
The first time I sniffed this eau de toilette from a paper strip I was delighted by its fruitiness and sensuality so I ordered a flacon straight away. But after trying it on my skin I realized it made me feel physically sick. Too overpowering, too sickly sweet, the strenght of amber clashed violently with overripe fruits such as cassis or mirabelle plum making this concoction unbearable. It leaves a rancid drydown so definitely a no-no unless you have a strong stomach.
lekova – :
i have one at home for a very long time now but i just can not say that i like it very much..
it is too spicy for me..and also to hard to wear.
Valerii61 – :
I expected much subtle fragrance than I found. It’s too musky and strong. Bottle is so simple and cute…and the smell is loud and hard to grasp, even though there’s not much in there. I gave it to my friend, Merry Christmas ! 🙂
sss147 – :
This is an interesting mix of plum and blackcurrant that make a mouthwateringly juicy, yet twisty, combination together. Amber pushes very strongly through fruity notes giving it warmth, depth, spicyness and irresistibly funky attitude. It’s a loud, positively distinctive and confident fragrance for confident women.
wolfindigo – :
I didn`t expect much and therefore was not disappointed. It` s rather pleasant, and I love the plum note and the sour twist of black currant – but after half an hour it starts having a very distinct note of over ripe fruit.Probably just my skin chemistry, but it made the fragrance smell kind of cheap.
Eroha – :
This used to be my signature fragrance – I used to wear it ALL the time and put on the sparkly lotion every night before bed. It appears, unfortunately, that they may have discontinued this fragrance, and I was caught without a stockpile, so I’ll be out soon, which is too bad, because I loved the mixture of fruit and spice.
SB – :
the smell is warm and for me a bit oriental, which doesent rally suit the bottle, and by the way the bottle is very similar to noah perle, at first sight, but i like it, one of my favourites from yves rocher
