Description
French house of Romea D`Ameor introduced a collection of seven perfumes, which were inspired by secrets of beauty of famous women who played an important role and marked the history. These women are charismatic and radiate in full beauty. The perfumes were created in cooperation with perfumer Pierre Bourdon and they were named: The Princess of Venice, The Great Inca Priestesses, The Mistresses of Louis XIV, The Sovereigns of Egypt, The Great Empresses of Japan, The Secret Heroines of the Tsar, The Taj Mahal’s Eternal Love.
The Mistresses of Louis XIV is a fragrant tonic which revitalizes body and spirit, imagination and knowledge. It opens with Iranian galbanum, black currant and melon, adding a rhythm of cloves, crushed leaves, Flame Lily, jasmine, daffodil, rose, lily of the valley and iris. Base notes include forest and greenery aromas, nectarin, amber and musk. The Mistresses of Louis XIV was launched in 2008.

Oh, such a full and potent opening! It started with large doses of spicy, sensual lily and narcissus. The way this adventure started gave me many hopes that I will find a unique lily based scent I could enjoy.
BUT – the heart part brings out the generic part of “The Mistresses of Louis XIV”, lily on my skin is gone completely and I am left with rather generic, though pretty, green L-O-V and rose combo on a sweet musk/jasmine base.
In conclusion I must say that this is very pretty, feminine floral with an opening that can take away one’s breath. Unfortunately for the first 10 minutes. Then it’s just a very nice and safe floral.

Roméa D’Améor LES MAITRESSES DE LOUIS XIV is a crispy, crunchy floral green featuring hyacinth and lily-of-the-valley. Very reminiscent of Gucci ENVY, but without the bloblike expansive synthetic lily-of-the-valley note which eventually ruins that composition for me. Still no soapiness yet to be found in the house of Roméa D’Améor, but so far I’ve found a couple of nice variations on clean themes without the bubbles, this being one of them. The green is not at all mean here and a far cry from the notorious CABOTINE, among others. I like LES MAITRESSES DE LOUIS XIV a lot, and would love to have a bottle of this perfect-for-every-occasion-and-season perfume. I would not say that this is a romantic creation at all, but, hey, maybe that’s why they were the maitresses (plural)… Perhaps once the image of innocence had been ruptured his ladies lost for old Louis their appeal? On ne sait jamais… Anyone who likes ENVY would like this perfume, and some among those who do not (self included) will like it as well! 3.27.11

This is sort of like a lily version of prada’s infusion d’iris. The opening is a sickeningly strong lily with the galbanum in the background and it slowly softens to a slightly softer more bearable lily with the addition of powdery iris. Still green-ish though. A clean crisp floral. Not really my cup of tea as I hated the lily opening.

Wonderful. But it does smell like another perfume, I just cant distinguish which. The various fragrances from this maker is actually intriguing. Empresses of Japan for example, does conjure images of kabuki faces 🙂
