Amarige Mariage

Bittersweet Matrimony Amid Fall Folliage... 2006 Floral CINNAMON-JASMINE-BENZOIN with Bitter-Orange, Sandalwood & Patchouli. Although it's categorized as a floral, this scent walks the line between being a floral and being an amber-spicy-woody scent. Intended as a wedding scent, mood-wise it best suits a fall wedding, like that depicted at the end of the film, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), where Robin Hood (played by Kevin Costner) weds his longtime love, Maid Marion (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) in a gorgeous outdoor wedding with fall folliage. Once the spray dries, and the sillage starts to open up, I can feel the citruses. The bitter orange supported by multi-faceted bergamot with cinnamon & benzoin swelling through has an illusion of pink-pepper. There may be some analogy here to the bittersweet qualities of matrimony. As it transitions to the heart more floral tones emerge, with jasmine & magnolia dusted with cinnamon. Jasmine is more forward than the notes would suggest to my nose, while the drydown is a gorgeous benzoin-sandalwood-patchouli blend. This is categorized as a floral scent, and overall I get dark & spicy jasmine scent, but dark storage after first sprays may cause the base notes to overtake the jasmine and become a amber-spicy-woody scent. This isn't a dupe of anything, but in the first few testings, I find this more similar to other jasmine-benzoin scents like Cinema Yves Saint Laurent than Organza Indecence Givenchy. I was delighted by this because in my (inaccurate) memory, this is exactly what the original Mania Armani (1999) was like. The bottle is nice glass with good sprayer, but I have to confess they've lost me with the whole anagram name thing. I get it but it doesn't really add to the story - we're not spies here. And if there is some veiled message about secrets within marriage, it would require too much interpretation on the part of the user. Performance is slightly above average for a year-round wearing experience, but I would be more likely to wear this in the cooler months. It's a love for me. 10/10. Enjoy! Update 08/12/24: Sprayed this on my right wrist this afternoon. The sandalwood has come a lot more forward in a great way if you love sandalwood. Because of this, it's gotten more similar to Organza Indécence Givenchy. Love it still.

I don't find it similar to original amarige Amarige mariage is heaven of oriental lovers,it's warm,sweet,delicious,fresh,balmy,spicy and supersexy It's initial blast is about smooth florals,magnolia and jasmine blended with fresh,citrus note,in this stage,it more looks like a tender spring floral or even a floral fruity,but bergamot and bitter orange start to fade and florals are rounded with sweet,spicy benzoin and sandalwood,Drydown is warm,cinnamon dominant and a real oriental I really love this type of fragrances,it's sweet but not candyish,gourmand but not childish and well balanced If you like givenchy organza,dior addict,euphoria Gold and kenzo jungle tiger you will love this one too Edit: I like layering it with cologne des missions I also love layering it with Al rehab Chocomusk to create a lovely grownup cinnamon-vanilla gourmand ❤❤❤❤❤ جیونچی آماریج مریج موقع اسپری شدن، ترکیبی از نارنج و ترنج+روایح گلی لطیف و ملایم(مگنولیا)+دارچین هست. بعد از چند دقیقه، رایحه مرکباتی کمرنگتر میشه اما دارچین همچنان غالب باقی میمونه و درعین حال، بنزوئین و چوب صندل محسوستر میشن و فضای عطر رو، گرم و نرمتر، خامه ای طور و رزینی میکنن. بااینکه وانیل بین نتها نیست اما من حس میکنم یکم وانیل هم داره(وانیلی شبیه وانیل دیور ادیکت). من تمام نتها بجز پچولی رو حس میکنم و بنظرم یکی از بهترین عطرهای دارچینی و یه اورینتال دوست داشتنیه درعین اسپایسی بودن، رایحه این عطر لطافت و نرمی داره. خوشمزه ست و یکم شیرینی داره اما نه درحد عطرهای گورمند امروزی.. بااینحال اصلا قدیمی طور نیست و بنظر من یونیسکسه

The notes sounded interesting and my lovely perfume friend mooniq gifted me with a sample. Thanks ! By reading the reviews I was somehow scared of it beeing too sweet, but oh is this lovely or what ! It is sweet balmy and lightly scented cinnamon. Warm , cuddly pretty easy to wear with no note sticking out. Has a lovely drydown too... Love at first wear ! I need a bottle - Now Got my first compliment yesterday, from a youngster at work! - Something smells nice here...its you. Those young guys and cinnamon rolls. ;-) Politely I said Thank you , I like it too ! Update - Tried this today on a warm summer afternoon, and realized its a winterscent for me. Today totally overpowering and sticky , still love the smell though but saving this for fall / winter. It lasts and lasts and gets to creamy and sweet.

My sister gave this to me a couple of weeks ago, and i was nervous in trying it after some of the bad/mixed reviews even though i like my spicy florientals. Glad to say, on my skin it smells lovely of orange and heady jasmine and spices. It is very strong, so only use sparingly. I do think it's better suited to colder climates, so i will try it again when the harsh Aussie summer has cooled down. I have plans to wear this out for a nice cosy intimate dinner, the fragrance is well suited to a night out in a warm restaurant indulding in dessert. Perhaps that's my hedonistic leanings, but it's definitely got a sensual edge to it. Interesting that most people who like the original Amarige dislike this, whilst i love this and find the original version not my style.

It's interesting how different our noses and perceptions are because in my humble opinion this is a much better perfume than original Amarige. I love the way this fragrance evolves seamlessly from the citrus opening notes to floral heart which is spiked with just the right amount of cinnamon; but my favourite part is the dry down, it is very warm and sensual, with a powdery undertone and I can almost swear I smell vanilla too. On me this fragrance is very rich and feminine and in no way synthetic. The lasting power is phenomenal; this fragrance lasted for hours and I could still faintly smell it after washing the dishes. Wow! This perfume deserves respect. Definitely one of my new favourites.
