    With the exception of the tiare note in the feminie fragrance and the black currant one in the male fragrance, Kenzo sounds quite ok. It's the addition of these incongruent notes that makes them “wearable” LOL.

    Why must fragrances have so many notes? Some of the best only have 4 or 5.

    It is true that some perfumes have more notes than others, but more frequently it is just a matter of how many of the notes they choose to list — the perfumes that only list 4 or 5 might (and probably do) have many, many more.

    I have been holding back on this for a really long time now and I guess the moment has come for me to finally get rid of this: where in God's name have all the sultry fragrances gone??? For years now I can only wear Opium, Poison, Hypnotic Poison and Narciso Rodriguez EDT… well, maybe Agent Provocateur too (seems to have an overall exciting effect on men, especially Scorpios LOL). Every time they advertise for a new fragrance describing it as “ultimate seduction”, “pleasure elixir” or God knows what other phantasmagoria-names George Carlin might have made fun of, I go out and try, even buy them, in the senseless, absurd, pointless, depressive hope that this time I will come across something that is really, unmistakably, completely SULTRY. But no. No, no, no. Same old disappointment every single time. Yeah, some of them smell nice (Amor Amor Tentation), some even interesting (Euphoria), some (and God knows there aren't many of those around these days) even sexy (Ange ou Demon), BUT NONE, NOT ONE SINGLE OF THESE SMELLS SULTRY. Maybe I have a “sick” understanding of the term, or maybe it's just that in a world where Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are taken to be fashion icons these are the only scents which will work in terms of sales. I've purchased the new Amor Amor and I guess that by the above stated you can tell what my opinion about it is. So, to conclude: PERFUMERS, PLEASE F***K SALES AND FINALLY GIVE US SOME REAL DEAL. WE'RE SICK AN TIRED OF THESE BORING CHEEKY GIRLS SCENTS.

    It is sad but true: clean is in. On the other hand, you've a whole slew of classics all to yourself, since they aren't widely worn anymore.

    Should have added — this might be a really fun Monday Mail topic if you know those articles (scroll through the perfume talk category, link on right column, if you don't). If you're interested, email me! (email address is on the “About” page, link at top menu).

    Yes, I'd definitely be interested. Maybe we could also have talks on things like: if you were to substitute a perfume for a book/dress/etc what would it be? For instance, whenever I think about Love in the Time of Cholera, I associate it with Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood…or a Baroque gown would never have any other equivalent but Poison…. I'll search for your email address. Thanks again.

    My husband bought this one for me for my birthday. He bought me the original Amor Amor when it first came out in France, before it was available in the US and I loved it. Now, my mother in law wears it, which basically killed it for me. I like my MIL, but I don't necessarily want to wear the same perfume. I also like the summer fragrances. This one smells very different to me than the Amor Amor line.

    Megank4, it's no fun when you start out wearing a special scent and another family member adopts it. Same goes here for my sister-in-law. But there are many other scents I love to wear so fortunately, I wasn't so attached to the scent.
