Amour sur Ordonnance The Unleashed Apothecary 2022

Parfumo is a blessing and a curse for me (and I’m probably not alone in this).

Blessing:
Without this community, I would have never understood why 90% of the perfumes that one generally encounters are not for me.
Curse:
Without this community, I would have never found this seemingly endless selection of fragrances that could be for me.

:)

Now, to get to the title of this review and the scent:

Vanilla in the top, heart, and base of the fragrance pyramid - that’s quite a statement. Just reading the pyramid made me think of exponential growth / exponential vanilla use.
And that’s true, it’s a vanilla scent where the vanilla (at least to my nose) is present throughout the entire fragrance pyramid.

Twisted for me are the 'secondary' notes of this vanilla - spicy, fruity, a bit resinous in the drydown. I distinctly perceive pear, clove, and cocoa; in this combination, it smells to me like a retro dessert.
In the drydown, the sweetness fades a bit, I think the resinous notes come through more here.

I find the scent to be peaceful / embracing / relaxing.

So, now a bit about the bottle, because I find not only the scent itself but also the bottle to be exponentially twisted - quite good ;)
The label is attached to the bottle with a cable tie (!), who comes up with such an idea... It’s a bit strange, but whatever, it doesn’t hinder the spraying.
And the cap... You can’t choose which cap you get when ordering; there are caps in gold, red, and black. I have the red cap, it looks a bit like E.T. trying to phone home :)
I always find the tactile feel and the sprayer important, both are very good here. The bottle is easy to hold / spray and it releases a fine mist.

P/L: Sigh.
