Par Amour Toujour

A wonderfully soft, but spicy, fruity floral, with a juicy grapefruit and a very beguiling rose. The pink pepper keeps it light and zesty, the grapefruit is invigorating and clear, and the rose is unique. It opens with something of the old rose water and glycerin note, but then becomes on me a very youthful, pink, sweetheart rose. The grapefruit on me is very persistent, and I love how it mixes with the rose. I love rose and grapefruit together, as with Coco Noir, but this is a very different kind of grapefruit-rose combo. This is sweet in nature and tone, but not smell. It has an air of purity and innocence. Clear, light, soft, spicy rose, with a sparkly grapefruit heart. The fruity chord is strengthened by the raspberry, which is not at all a generic berry, but about the only note that has any base note quality to it. This raspberry is a deep, dark red. It needs a more substantial foundation, something to anchor the fruit and florals. I will try layering it. It starts out with good projection on me, but pulls closer and becomes a skin scent. Excellent for the office and professional settings. A lovely fragrance overall, soothing emotionally, and invigorating physically. Lasts only four hours, even on silk.

I rediscovered this unassuming pink perfume today. Deliciously tart berry coulis sitting upon softly scented prettiest-of-pink rose petals. Negligible pepper on this wearer as I like my pepper perfumes PEPPERY! Par Amour Toujour projects a sense of summertime, it is always exciting when Winter makes way for the launch of September's Spring. Somewhat flimsy and flirty in essence in the nicest possible way. One of my male student's remarked today during class I smelled good enough to eat and asked which brand of shampoo I used 'cause he wants some! There is an innocence to this sheer luminous scent which is restorative. Berry nice!

This was my signature scent when i was a teenager - i remember the rose being fresh and light, sweet but not cloying or overly soapy/mature. In fact, this was the first time i smelled a rose fragrance that i didn't dislike. The last time i saw this fragrance was at a discount retailer like marshalls, and i wish i had grabbed it then. just placed an order on ebay for a bottle of this and i cannot wait to have it for nostalgia's sake edit: the bottle came in, gave it a sniff...soft soft soft. soft and sweet fruity rose, delicate and bright. smells just like i remember. so glad i own this!!

Par Amour Tojours is a cocktail of pink grapefruit and sweet rosewater. It is sweet, playful and almost childish. It instantly makes me feel youger and cuter. I got a miniature of this fragrance when I was in my early 20's and I really liked it back then. I disagree with previous review saying it is a more mature fragrance. To me it is very fresh and playful. At first I get lots of grapefruit. As it settles rose and raspberry start to come through. The rose is very mild, more like a rosewater rather than heavy rose oil scent. I think it is very French and slightly understated scent.

This is an absolutely delicious grapefruit rose, clean and simple, a very feminine and playful perfume, but definitely not a silly one. It's suggestive color is only a disguise. Imagine a 30-year old, who happens to look 15 years younger. A 16 year-old boy followed me around the grocery store the other day and finally could not hold back his comment about my perfume. I told him the name of it, but kept my age a secret - he'd probably be appalled he had been under such an olfactory spell that he was doing it at all.
