Affaire de Coeur

I might be obsessed with this. I got this as a sample back in April (it’s July, now) and ordered a full bottle as soon as I hit the drydown. It’s cozy and warm, and I KNOW almond isn’t listed but I smell almond in the opening. It’s sweeter in the heat but I love it in both heat and cold. Lasts a very long time and projects well, especially for an oil. The drydown is a well-done, easy to wear musk and vanilla, but it’s very well blended. Tonka is probably most noticeable in the opening, to my nose. It may be what gives it the almondy feel. Amber sort of ties it all together and warms it up without falling into “amber perfume” territory.

its so cozy, not necessarily warm but it gives me..... coming in from the cold, changing into warm clothes, drinking your hot drink of choice while bundled in heaps if blankets. the amber and vanilla are strong at first application but as it melts into the skin it i find it to be a nice sweet musk that sits close to the body. oh, it also gives me sexy play-doh vibes.

As others have sensed, I am also getting something floral here. Not lilac though, it's sweet heliotrope for me. And no amber.

I really like this. I wasn't sure at first but then it grew on me. I think it smells very pretty and feminine.

My primary impression of this is crunchy mom baby wipe - creamy, salty, a dash of vanilla, a hint of floral. It's pretty potent for an oil of this profile, too! Not what I was expecting and not really my cup of tea. I keep sniffing at it and sort doing an ick face more than anything.
