Reminds me of spring
Ame Toscane opens with a strong peach note.After a while I start to smell the black currant. It makes the scent sweet but not cloying. The sandalwood makes the scent warmer in the dry down. It turns into a nice warm peachy vanilla.
The scent reminds me of a perfume I smelled before I think it whas Burberry weekend, but not sure.

Melancholy in the sauna
If you are curious about the smell inside this unique bottle, but do not have an easy access to it, I would recommend trying Jeanne Arthes "Sultane".
This one, in accordance with the more 'sensual' shape compared to the fancy bottle of Sultane, is like its mature (or, more advanced) version - more musky and with an oily undertone. While both fragrances have similar notes, the only difference for me is the weight or density. In addition, the peach in Sultane has a stronger tea-like nuance, and the whole composition remains lighter than the Tuscan Soul, which seems to be melancholically inclined - a sultry, peachy floriental, suitable for cooler seasons.

Someone who generally prefers the 'warm, sensual, cosy' type of fragrance (and peach flavouring in particular) might appreciate this more. For my part, I couldn't wear it in either variation, but I'm still intrigued by the peculiar headpiece - resembling a sauna turban, glass noodles or water poured out from an urn.

Edited to add: As Dr.Ricaud latest pyramid reveals, my nose was not mistaken about the proximity of Âme Toscane to Arthes' Sultane - the top and base notes are identical, the heart consists of a similar set of peach and a white florals (jasmine/freesia), leaving the 'Tuscan iris' as the distinguishing note. A heads-up for the fans of the uniquely shaped bottle: it has now been given up in favour of the unifying trend.

Intimacy in the Shower
First of all: I have great difficulty naming (women's) fragrances as erotic. Most of the time, I find them cozy, striking, or sweet, where others rave about an electrifying attraction. So I simply categorize fragrances into "Like" and "Dislike." Until I got to know Ame Toscane. This fragrance is very sensual and sexy to me. And it's not because of the - in my eyes - borderline bottle. I didn't even know it before the first sniff.
No, Ame Toscane creates an incredibly erotic scent full of intimacy for me. A pretty young woman has just come out of the shower, where she cleaned herself with a peach shower gel and then uses a little body powder - et voilà. That's really all the perfume smells like. Peach shower gel with powder. And yet everything seems so authentic, a secret ingredient, all so intertwined that a beautiful fragrance emerges. And this, despite the fact that I don't even like fruity perfumes.
The sillage and longevity are also perfectly fine. However, what bothers me a bit here: I find the perfume so special that I don't want everyone to be able to smell me like this. It would be like spying through the keyhole into the bathroom.

The Powdery, Stuffy Woman
Well, I admit it. I didn't test this fragrance because the notes appealed to me, no, but because the bottle looked so great and that's what piqued my interest in the scent.
Moreover, I don't even know the brand, but that doesn't matter, because that's how you always learn something new.

The scent:
You immediately smell the peach, which smells good and natural. The iris, which you can already smell a bit now, combines well with the fruit, making the peach appear very creamy (but not powdery). If the scent were ice-cold, the top note could easily pass for a delicious peach sorbet.
Over time, the peach naturally becomes weaker, so the iris begins to smell stronger. The scent remains creamy, but now also gains powdery notes. The musk adds a sweeter touch as well.
Gradually, however, the scent becomes increasingly floral, even slightly stuffy. This happens especially after about an hour, when the creamy peach has receded far into the background. The musk continues to radiate its sweetness, and the scent remains slightly powdery for a while longer. A little later, though, the scent becomes quite stuffy (for me) due to the floral notes, so it doesn't smell as great as it did at the beginning. After three to four hours, the stuffy, floral notes become noticeably weaker, leaving a sweet scent behind, but then the entire fragrance is only very faintly present on the skin; however, it still smells good, which is why I rate the scent here with 7.0 points.

Longevity and sillage:
The longevity is about five to seven hours, depending on the dosage.
The sillage is rather average and thus radiates "normally"; it will be noticeable to someone nearby, but I think you have to get a little closer. For oneself, the scent will smell good.

The bottle:
*touch*
*fiddle*
Well, what do you expect when you present such a bottle to a single person, where the figure also seems to be naked??
Alright, I actually only know the bottle from pictures, but still! :D
But okay, the bottle is a woman who is sitting or lying down and has a distinctly emphasized and seemingly well-shaped bottom, back, and wonderfully detailed hair. A face doesn't seem to have been modeled (most photos show her only from behind, um…). There is no label (where would you put it?). All in all, a very original bottle and much better and more beautifully made than the similar bottles from Gaultier.

So, the scent didn't really excite me, at least in the middle. Sure, the beginning was great, as you smell a nice (creamy) peach and later the iris comes in. But gradually, these beautiful notes were overshadowed by somewhat stuffy-smelling flowers, which I personally didn't like so much anymore. However, you ladies might still like it. Although I must say that the scent eventually loses the floral/stuffy notes and then smells again of beautifully powdery and sweet vanilla, but then significantly weaker than at the beginning.

It is a spring scent, also works in summer, and in my opinion is suitable as a daytime fragrance. Too unspectacular for going out.

Sultry Dream
Ame Toscane is another "powder dream" candidate. However, I find Ame T. to be very heavy and extremely cuddly. Thankfully, this phase does not persist throughout the entire scent journey. It is only at the beginning. It presents itself as extremely slick and forms a thick film on the skin. The powder note is immediately present, extending throughout the entire duration until the end. Simply a powder scent! Period. The heaviness that is noticeable at the beginning, in my opinion, is a hefty pinch of iris, which comes across as somewhat cloying and too mature. I can't particularly follow the pyramid. Because the pleasant peach only reveals itself later. When it does appear, the scent becomes much lighter and distinguishes itself a bit without letting go of you.

Towards the end, a gentle hint of vanilla comes through, making the scent feminine and lovely. It also has a subtle touch of animalistic notes, though this does not pull the perfume into the dirty and dark. It is a hint of desire and sultry dreams that can be found in this fragrance.

A powder dream for the nights when you surrender to your dreams. Not hot, not dirty.

The bottle is something different. A reclining "S" with flowing hair. Open, cascading hair. Beautiful. I like it. The longevity is well served at 5 hours, in my opinion.

So now off to the pink powder clouds ;)

Artificial peach + bitter iris under a thick vanilla-musk blanket. More of a room fragrance. I’d also like a head wrap for headaches.

Unfortunately, there’s a note that really repulses me - greasy and unclean. Not my thing. Too bad, because I would have liked it.

Against all odds, I actually like it. A funny fruity-fresh-green synth mix. The most horrendous bottle in the perfume empire.

A fruity, sweet, and wonderfully creamy-soft peach scent.
No flowers for me. Surprisingly good longevity!

Peachy but not too sweet, rather sophisticated, with French chic through iris, magnolia, and clean musk. Very nice!

Washed clean with peach shower gel and then - very gently - dusted a bit of body powder on top. Somehow subtly erotic.

Soft silky peach and delicate freesias dance in love in the old flower garden to the spring waltz by J. Strauss, sooo romantic.
