Ame Toscane

Another wonderful creation of Isabel Derroisne! First thing that comes to my mind - it's a perfect wedding perfume;)Innocent, but not girly; romantic, but at the same time sensual. Iris note is one of the best I've smelled until now, and together with sandalwood it creates such a magnificent blend that I kept sniffing my wrist constantly. Other notes I clearly detect are magnolia and black currant, but overall impression is fantastic. It's uplifting, optimistic and feminine.

Awesome osmanthus with a soft backdrop of lily-vanilla, unusual and complex. To me this is a one-of-a-kind scent, in a beautiful bottle; almost too beautiful to use. For some reason, I don't give this one too much playing time...might be convinced to swap it for the right offer, in a weak moment. From what I gather, it's not easy to find in the states. It could be one of those that I kick my self for allowing it to float on. After much deliberation, I have it up for swap.

The bottle reminds me of a Classique dupe, but the scent is not like that at all. It's a peach & powder bomb. The peach is not syrupy like canned peaches or candy, more like a fresh white peach, but still very sweet and the most dominant note. Vanilla, iris and woody notes round out the scent. Ame Toscane has something slightly artificial to it, maybe because it's a little cosmetic-like. But all in all it's a soft and feminine, easy to wear scent. Ideal for spring and mild days. It's rather linear and only becomes a little warmer as it dries down. I totally get the comparison to Burberry Woman, this has a very similar vibe, only softer and without the 90s apple shampoo note I get in Burberry.

Simple at first glance, but very interesting when get acquainted closer. Warm, fruity floral, sour-sweet. This scent and some others ID scents can be called usual-unusual, it's their main characteristic.

To me, the same as Fancy Love - Jessica Simpson. I love Fancy Love, I just like Ame Toscane : the lasting power is weaker. But it's a delicate and pretty fragrance. For feminine women.
