I had a highly unpleasant experience with this scent in a perfume store. I wanted to test it, but it wasn't available. The ladies working there tried to convince me that Eau d'Amour is the same scent as Gaultier2. They wouldn't be swayed by anything better. I haven't been back since.
And Eau d'Amour is fortunately, man, am I glad about this, NOT the same scent as Gaultier2. I was able to bid on a half-full bottle. I would have really been annoyed because Gaultier2 develops on me like toilet blocks.
This scent here, on the other hand, is wonderful. It's lighter to wear than the classic Classiques, which I also love - and, that's the great thing: it doesn't smell like toilet block on me!
Eau d'Amour starts off sweet and fruity with a subtle spicy note. This intensifies as the mandarin fades and harmonizes in a very sensual way with the amber and the constantly present vanilla undertone.
From there, I understand why this is labeled as a unisex scent; what remains afterwards is spicy, warm, and not too sweet, which men can also wear. So, men who don't have a pronounced feminine side... The top note, on the other hand, I find very feminine, very sweet, as I said, I can hardly imagine that. I might have to spray it on my boyfriend, perhaps.
It's great when Classique is too intense for me, and I'm very glad that I trusted my ...uh... gut feeling and gave it a try without testing it beforehand.
