For me, the Amorist, Orange Flamingo & Air Tiger definitely belong to my favorites among the Gebauer fragrances. It may not be a beast mode scent like the Air Tiger, but that’s not its intention either. This fragrance stands out to me much more through its restraint, without being intrusive or causing headaches: It quietly and subtly accompanies me throughout the day, occasionally becoming subtly present and drawing the attention of those around me. On my skin, the scent unfolds effortlessly from morning to evening, and especially in the first 8 hours, it exudes a pleasant sillage.
The recent reformulation of the fragrance, as indicated by Marc Gebauer (MG), has definitely retained the "essence of the Amorist." Only the concentration of fragrance oils has been slightly increased to enhance projection - an effect that I can certainly confirm from my own experience.
While the first version of the Amorist was more floral, flowery, and sweet to me, the new batch feels a bit more masculine, with the notes of blackcurrant and bergamot standing out more clearly. The magnolia is present throughout the entire scent journey, giving it a special note and developing into a powdery, creamy nuance in the dry-down. Despite this development, the unmistakable Amorist DNA remains consistently present thanks to the magnolia and the other floral notes.
As a man, I have already received many compliments for this fragrance, from both women and men. The fresh, powdery sweetness has been positively perceived, without anyone pointing out that it could solely be a women's fragrance.
As other reviewers have emphasized, the scent fits perfectly with a confident man with elegance, possibly even a suit wearer?!
Why not...
The price-performance ratio is impressive and fair for the quality offered, with perfumer Christian Carbonnel not being a disappointment.
The bottle perfectly reflects the scent notes, floral and flowery (white) at the top, with a nice very light vanilla sweetness in the background (red). It naturally matches all other bottles from MG.
A blind purchase could be considered, but a test would be advisable...
Especially for men, as the floral sweetness might not appeal to everyone immediately.
....But if it doesn’t appeal, perhaps the ladies in the family/friend circle could surely make something of it?!
For women, the Amorist is definitely a safe purchase recommendation.
Overall, a fragrant masterpiece that skillfully transcends the boundaries between genders and envelops its wearers, INDEPENDENT of gender, in a unique olfactory experience.
I can almost feel your enthusiasm through your words. I agree with you on almost every point. Unfortunately, I find the longevity and sillage to be rather weak.
Glad to hear! When is your Amorist from? Do you maybe still have the "old" batch? Otherwise, it could also be that I'm not so stingy with the application, so at least 8 sprays are a must. :D
