From your scent profile
Pierre de Velay Amour is a powdery, chypre-built unisex scent that sets a bright citrus opening against a dense floral bouquet and a sweet, resinous base.
Skunky's take: A night owl's pick; made for evenings out.

CreamyWhat does Amour smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters place it mostly in spring, fall and winter, and lean towards evenings and nights out. Most voters call its character feminine, with some classic and masculine votes too.
Bergamot and kaffir lime open it up. The heart is led by jasmine, violet, rose and orange blossom, with heliotrope and ylang-ylang making the florals creamy and powdery. In the base, labdanum, frankincense, vanilla and musk weigh heaviest, and the spicy, woody and green accents keep that sweetness dry. Roja Parfums Madison pour Femme and Roja Parfums Lilac have a close profile.
