L’Amour Rose

I own both but I prefer the 50ml edp over the 30ml edt. I really wanted this perfume but couldnt fathom the price, it was too expensive so I dutifully ordered a 5ml oil drum to test it out before biting the bullet. The good thing was that I instantly fell in love with the sweetness of the macaron and pistachio. It was playfully powdery and a bit sharp thanks to cherry blossom, not at all cloying or heavy inducing sugar comatose that I am known to wear. I found a seller willing to sell for an amazing price and now I own this in my cotton candy collection. I decided to get the 30ml from Japan because it was no longer sold under Anna Suis website at the time. I expected it to be different and it came out a florally, tamed sister. They are completely different scents, so if you find 50ml to be jejune and sweet, try the latter. I didnt care for the 30ml one at all which is sad because the cute little bow and its pink design is so adorable. For the 30ml edt the scent composition are: Top Notes: Mandarin, Cranberry, Cherry blossom Heart Notes: Peony, Magnolia, Pink pepper Base Notes: Vanilla, White cedarwood, Musk The only similarity are the cherry blossom and the musk.

I bought this in a 50 ml bottle from Chemist Warehouse for only 24 Aus dollars and it was a blind buy but I ended up liking it,yes there isn’t anything groundbreaking about this perfume but none the less it is still a very pretty sweet type fragrance,it doesn’t smell of rose but instead it smells of pretty sugary sweets but it’s not too strong or overpowering,the longevity is ok though Anna Sui fragrances in general are not very strong but overall this is still a very pretty fragrance and while it doesn’t replace Flight of fancy as my favourite Anna sui fragrance it is still a very pleasant and feminine scent.

Update: I just wanted everyone who is interested, to let you know that there is a 30ml EDT of L'Amour Rose on Anna Sui's website for $44 & $12 UPS Ground shipping if you live in the USA. The notes are some what different, there is still cherry Blossom in the EDT. I've to add that I'm surprised no one else has commented on this perfume besides me, it hurts my heart, makes me sad, because for the past year, I've been so passionate about Anna Sui perfumes. I guess no one will appreciate her perfumes like I do, which is very unfortunate. I can't wait to see the other perfumes she releases this year!

Holy moly - this is THE perfect gourmand fragrance. I'm surprised that there aren't many reviews for this scent. I feel like I'm siting on top of a cotton candy cloud eating a platter of macaroons, yet the sweetness isn't overpowering, it isn't sickly sweet (think of Jessica Simpson's Fancy). This is one of the few perfumes where I can actually smell each individual ingredient. I also found this for a steal - only $20. I know this particular perfume can be hard to find but if you can make sure you snatch a bottle up! 4 out of 5 stars

i first found out about Anna Sui when i saw her “Forbidden affair” perfume 2 years ago which is still in my wish list and i was ecstatic when i got this perfume which i had blind bought this perfume smells like sweets/candy it’s a playful scent i can definitely smell the orange and candy floss in this. this goes so well with a vanilla body spray on top if you really want that “candy” atmosphere also it’s so cheap???? i got 75ml for about £15 and for a scent this good??? wow i am shocked cannot wait to buy more Anna Sui fragrances
