Kenzo Amour Florale by Kenzo

I picked this up on sale; only two were left. The moment I smelled it, I was moved: it smells like my mother, like her morning hugs before school. Well-balanced gardenia and neroli with a citrus touch and a hint of cardamom. It feels like wearing a soft, clean, delicate floral cream, just like her. I love it; it leaves me feeling peaceful and secure. What luck to have found it, what a shame it’s discontinued. Previous reviews describe it perfectly. Ideal for waking up with a positive attitude and attracting good things. Lasts about six hours, which is fine for me. I can’t describe the trail, but I perceive it from start to finish.

It’s discontinued in my country. It’s an exquisite perfume and lasted forever on my skin. I never managed to find another with a similar scent.

It’s a beauty. It’s Amour in a less warm version, without vanilla and more tender, while keeping the oriental elegance of the frangipani. I think the tenderness comes from the gardenia and neroli, creating a flash of childhood. For me, using it is taking care of myself, my skin and my body, looking after my well-being when I take off my makeup or shower. A precious self-care ritual. What a shame it’s gone; it’s a Kenzo of great value and beauty.

It is preceded by the celestial whiteness of neroli; it is pure delicacy. It smells like altars, like a convent courtyard in spring. A divine, airy, springtime and daytime fragrance. A little miracle. The intensity of the white flowers is a little astringent, with a citrus bitterness that suits it well. It doesn’t resemble the Amour line siblings, which are sweet and musky. Excellent longevity, delicate and ethereal trail, like tulle and organza that envelops you for hours. It makes you want to fill your lungs until it disappears; letting it pass is a waste. Unfortunately discontinued.

Of my entire collection, this remains the favourite. I compare it with other white florals but none match it. I also have the Kenzo Amour, and in the dry-down they have that note that drives me wild, but while the Amour is sweet on me, this gives me a sensation of cold, like a 15-degree morning with just one coat, a mountain air cold. It produces serenity and fits all the mental pieces together for an excellent day. I love it.

I have it and I love it; it’s as refined as the Dior EDT Loca; I’m waiting for the heat to wear it. How happy I am to have found this rarity and its design is beautiful; it looks so lovely next to its sister Kenzo Amour EDP.

It’s a toilet, so it doesn’t last as long as the other Kenzos, but it’s rich and fresh. I got lucky; it was a limited edition. It’s both citrusy and floral; if you overapply it, it can become cloying.

I bought it thinking it would be the same as the original Amour, a big mistake. It smells like soap, in fact, like detergent. Perhaps it’s my skin, but I didn’t like it at all. Just to clarify, I’m not a fan of florals, so that’s just my personal opinion.

An ethereal and transparent fragrance with a charming balance: floral, slightly spiced and lightly woody. It’s sweet and fresh, just as the bottle promises: a morning walk on a bright, misty day. It’s relaxing and suitable for any occasion. Light trail and good longevity. Highly recommended.

This perfume puts me in a good mood, relaxes me and gives me energy. I imagine myself walking down a flower-lined path, with marigolds and roses. It intoxicates me and I enjoy the stroll. Edit: it has become my favourite floral; I bought it on a whim when I saw it, it was limited and already seems discontinued. Over time, I felt very happy. At first I thought the gardenia would dominate, but no, not even Eternity. It suits any season, although perhaps not in extreme heat as it’s a little sweet.

Undoubtedly floral. Bright, luminous and energetic, the lightest of the Kenzo loves. For me, it’s the flowers, the ambrette and a touch of cardamom; I don’t perceive any fruit notes.
