A creamy milk and incense blend

Kenzo Amour is really lovely, beautiful in fact.

I had actually imagined something stronger, more bold and heavy as Kenzo's interpretation of love, however this fragrance is flawless. Delicate and predominantly powdery, its subtlety is very likable.

I am a big fan of powdery fragrances as of late, especially powdery vanilla scents. There is something very feminine and comforting about them. Kenzo Amour's softness is pleasantly unobtrusive to both the wearer and the people around you.

While the vanilla and musk really do feature in this fragrance, other detectable notes, such as frangipani and Japanese cherry blossom, gives Kenzo Amour a somewhat exotic feel.

The overall result can be described as creamy and alluring. I disagree that this is just baby powder, I think it has far more substance than that. I really enjoyed wearing Kenzo Amour and I thought the lasting strength was simply outstanding. Another great Kenzo offering in my opinion.

Lemon rice pudding

Lemon rice pudding. Or sago. With a vanillic vibe. Steaming tea. chocolate. Yes, cherries, in white chocolate. I can see that it might be kind of comforting but not something I want to smell like. Not even something I would want to eat.
Lasts 8 hours.

Une buée épicée

I used to love this perfume few years ago.
It is a powdery,sweet,spicy fragrance.
The smell of rice cooking on the top is so comfy.
Then comes a soapy heliotrope,and musc Wich give a nice cloudy smell.
The dry down is spicy woody ,a little smoky and the sweetness of the vanilla is light here.
Very nice smell, unusual at the top.
Worth it if you like original spicy powdery frag.
I think.again very original one when it came out.but still is...
Olivier cresp is Soo good.to make elegant perfumes

A rather fresh vanilla frag

I love eau de perfumes and eau de toilettes with vanilla. Usually with vanilla frags, the initial spray is not that pleasing and comes rather through after it settles into a divine, smooth, round fragrance. With Kenzo Amour however there was no waiting for a wonderful dry down, it was right up my alley right from the get go. The freshness comes through a bit later, but doesn't take away from the yummy vanilla. I do not get too much floral, but that is normal for me. When I detect it, it's usually more than I ask for. I guess my nose can only detect real flower bombs, but otherwise I recognize floral aromas just as part of the composition, not so much something I can pinpoint, unless it is overwhelming me. This is a very nice fragrance, and I am pleased I gave it a try.

One of the Few Powdery Feminine Florals I Loved

The opening of Kenzo Amour starts with powdery florals and tea that hits like a truck because it is so strong.

By the time you get to the base note—which is vanilla mixed with frankincense and a light musk—the scent envelops into a gourmand touch that compliments the florals

The initial scent may resemble the powdery opening from Dolce & Gabanna’s Light Blue, which is another Oliver Cresp creation.

----

In terms of the bottle, it would easily blend in as a sculpture found in a modern art museum! This notably caught my attention.

----

In terms of performance, Amour is strong, exceeding expectations!

The sillage and projection gets attention like someone is an A-List actor stepping into a room. However, it may be too strong for people; I have noticed this scent from beyond twenty feet, and it can fill up a bus or a small room.

The longevity is just as amazing. Amour can last beyond sixteen hours on skin, and it may take a full shower to get the fragrance off completely.

----

As a powdery fragrance, this would be a decent workout scent. It's honestly one of the few fragrances with strong projection that will not annoy most people at a gym.

However, because of the strong projection, Amour is a horrible choice as an office fragrance. Likewise, the summer heat may make Amour outright overwhelming, if not unbearable.

That said, thanks to the longevity, this is easy to wear in an evening scenario, where the temperatures are cooler, and one may need a fragrance to work for a longer period.

It can work in the winter and fall with the vanilla aspect adding a gourmand touch that fits the cool weather. However, a powdery fragrance is an easy fragrance to wear in the spring.

----

Overall, Kenzo Amour won me over as a decisively feminine fragrance, especially speaking as a man who dislikes powdery scents.

That said, it is always a matter of taste. People who are seeking a subtle, powdery fragrance for leisure or (especially) an office fragrancewill be massively disappointed. Also, if you hate powdery florals or vanilla fragrances, you probably won't like this one either.

However, if a person wants to be the center of attention in the evening hours or in the mild spring breeze, and wants a reasonably priced fragrance that will stay through everything, then I highly recommend Amour.
