Fragrance Notes Deep Dive

Every great fragrance tells a story in three acts, and Amor Amor is no exception. The opening salvo presents black currant, orange, mandarin orange, grapefruit, cassia and bergamot, hitting the skin with immediate impact and establishing the character of what follows. As the top notes settle — typically within the first 20–30 minutes — the heart of Amor Amor emerges: rose, apricot, jasmine, lily and lily-of-the-valley. This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of vanilla, tonka bean, musk, amber and virginia cedar anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Amor Amor leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward citrus, fruity, making Amor Amor a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
