The Cacharel Amor Amor Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Amor Amor has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why? What is it about this EDT from Cacharel that has made it a fixture in so many wardrobes across continents? Released in 2003, Amor Amor built its following on citrus, fruity, and years on, it has not lost a step.

A vibrant and passionate fruity-floral embodying youthful love and romance.

How Amor Amor Smells: Notes & Development

Amor Amor opens with black currant, orange, mandarin orange, grapefruit, cassia and bergamot — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to rose, apricot, jasmine, lily and lily-of-the-valley. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: vanilla, tonka bean, musk, amber and virginia cedar.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads citrus, fruity — easy to place and easy to wear.
