What does Amour d'Amandier / Almond Amour smell like?

The opening is bright and fruity, with kiwi, mandarin orange and lemon, softened by a light floral touch from sweet pea. In the heart, heliotrope and marzipan take over and the scent turns powdery and gourmand. The base of vanilla, sandalwood and white musk keeps that sweetness on a warm, soft footing.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards leisure and daily wear, with evening and office use also possible. It reads as feminine and modern. Ulric de Varens Mini Pink and Julia Beautx Your Choice Love have a close profile.
