Amor Amor In a Flash

I just had a very weird experience with this one! I first sprayed it a bit too close to the skin so the fragrance was concentrated in one spot on the inside of my left wrist and I hated it. All I could smell was bitter cinnamon. Yuck. Like an apple pie gone wrong or something. However it was a blind buy so I was really hoping to like it based on the reviews here so I tried again and sprayed from about a foot distance onto my right arm, and omg it smells so nice. Sweet and gourmandish but like one of the reviewers said, so clean and transparent. It does have a bit of JS Fancy vibe going on but this is so much clearer and not heavy, not cloying (in my opinion). The cinnamon here is subtle now, just enough to add the invigorating effect to all that rich sweetness. I'm sniffing my left wrist now and hate it still, but my right arm smells oh so nice. I still don't know what's going on, oh well maybe it's made to be to be sprayed only from the distance. Not too close and definitely no dabbing on the pulse points!

I bought this very spontaneously after testing it for maybe 20 minutes, and I do not regret it. Amor Amor in a Flash opens fruity and a bit creamy with a beautiful combination of apple, apricot and mandarin, which is not distinguishable from regular orange in this for my nose, as it's the lightest of the fruit notes. The fruits are spiced with cinnamon and sweetened by caramel from the start. The drydown is warm and sweet with vanilla, cinnamon, and a hint of caramel. I think jasmine and sandalwood are only in this to round the scent and to keep it from smelling more like a dessert than a perfume. They're not really recognizable, but it's clear they're here. Overall I think the fragrance smells just like the notes suggest. While the text above on this site says AAIAF is a spring scent, I think this mix of fruit and spice is ideal for late summer and early autumn, when it's still somewhat sunny but getting colder. But really this can be worn anytime. A beautiful blend for gourmand fans.

I have to blind buy everything going off of everyone's amazingly detailed reviews and descriptions (we dont even have a mall where I live, small town, Arizona, USA) and have had some seriously good outcomes and some not so good. This one was GREAT. I see In a Flash being in the same catagory as Fancy (I have a bottle from 2009 with the dark liquid and it is drop dead gorgeous, no fruits just creamy drizzled caramel) but not even close to the same. With the cinnamon and sweet caramel this is perfect for winter and fall but it also has a brightness to it, a freshness with the apple, I can see it being great for spring and summer as well. It never gets too sweet or annoying, totally edible with more than adequate sillage and longevity. My favorite gourmand at this time. Now I'm sure in the Guerlain/niche price range there are ones that would push this right off my favorites shelf but in the inexpensive/moderate price range I cant imagine it getting better than this

Just received my In A Flash order! Let me say it's such an amazing scent it has a hint of the original Amor Amor incorporated into it as well. The scent is playful, sweet, and seductive. Weird but it smells like Europe. At first spritz I smelled the apple followed by cinnamon & caramel. The smell settles on my skin firmly that when I smell my wrist an hour later I still smell the perfume (no dry-downs!). I'm loving this scent for summer & fall. Excellent!

Such a beautiful gourmand!This is amazing!not synthetic and annoying as the original amor amor, this is a gourmand heaven!Cream and caramel and a quality coconutty yumminess thrown in there (even though coconut isn't listed in the notes) making it absolutely delicious!woohoo!excellent blind buy! <3 Also, it gets paired so beautiful with angel muse edt! This on one hand, angel muse edt on the other, and the outcome is absolutely orgasmic!
