Amoureuse Parfums DelRae 2002

Here's a fragrance with something to say. Perhaps you've heard it before, but good storytelling is not just about novelty. Amoureuse is aptly named, a vivid juxtaposition of things innocent, sweet, and carnal. It wears like a rite of passage: opening all powdered Baiser Vole, and evolving gradually and inevitably into carnal jasmine and narcissus, a drydown reminiscent of good vintage natural floral bases. I don't imagine wearing it much, personally, but it is a lovely olfactive sketch of the memory of a youthful affair.
