Amore Mio Eau de Parfum

I simply love this smell. Sweetness at its best. My favourite perfume. Plus points for the affordable price tag. I did try Nina by Nina Ricci. In the beginning, they do smell exactly the same. Sweet and playful with a tinge of shyness. But towards the end, Nina ends off with a perfumey smell totally different from the initial sweetness, whereas amore mio gets sweeter over time. Lasting power is pretty strong considering how I live in a warm climate country and sweat half the time but I'm still able to smell the gentle sweetness at the end of the day. If anyone wants to swap this, I have a new unopened bottle. =)

The cherry marzipan combo intrigued me after stumbling upon a review of this and found only a few other perfumes came up in a search as containing that combo. So when I saw a good price for a 1.7oz bottle on eBay I decided to snap it up. It's such a good balance of being sort of gourmand and fresh thanks to the lemon. Glad I found this. Blind buy success! I'm excited to try and find a more gourmand version of this for fall/winter.

Delicate wellness litchi cherry almond smell. It stays very close to skin and fabrics. From Grasse, the capital of perfumes. This one is soothing.

its inexpensive but this fragrance smells really good . its sweet and easy to wear . , it reminds me of nina ricci nina perfume.

Almost juice sour green apples and little lemon and sour black cherry. No marzipan. I like this,it is worth more than the price.

Good everyday spring/summer fragrance not overpowering. I love it and it lasts more than 4 hours.

First spray and this is a fresh juicy dupe of Nina Nina rici - it smells like green apple and berries (blackcurrant perhaps as stated in the notes?).A few minutes later I smell vetiver (this characteristic green parsley smelling note). Then this disappears rather quickly as well and we are left with a sour cherry-liqueur combined with an aromatic note of the amalfi lemon and perhaps a hint of a cedar undertone hidden somewhere in the back and musk. If you expect marzipan (I was really hoping for that), you will wait in vain... doesn't exist, never comes forth. This is fun and energetic and girly.Is this a masterpiece?Of course not. It is an easy going perfume, easy to spritz and go about your day?sure! I can actually imagine myself wearing this right after the shower as a fresh fruity scent. This one is simple but beautiful, and I don't think it will ever fail to put an easy smile on your face. I like it, I really do, it projects nicely (especially at night in autumnal or spring weather it comes out more aromatic and fresh).Longevity isn't great, but for that price, I can't complain (I got the 100ml bottle for less than 7 euros). Now, compared to the Nina perfume, this one is more fun and easier to wear as I find Nina to be too sweet and a less balanced version of this one.So yes, the dupe, surpassed the formal initial perfume ;) . Well done Jeanne Arthes! ps: love the packaging and the frosted bottle with the cut apple shape,its beautiful silver designs on, but I dislike the plastic snake (that fat head cobra I presume?) part on top, that isn't a cap, it just barely covers the nozzle.That is its only faux pas design-wise.Had it been a proper metal cap with an intricate carved snake curled around and on top of it, it would have been perfect.

I really, really like this little cheap gem. I find myself wanting to reach for it more and more in the warm months. I definitely get sweet cherries, sour lemon and a creamy marzipan, but I also get a distinctive jasmine/white-floral note in the heart. It's clean, fruity and sour-sweet, abit 'plastic' smelling, but that's fine with me, it's a cute scent, cheap and cheerful, and not meant to be taken seriously. The longevity is pretty good (~5 hours) considering that it's a light/fruity scent and that it's inexpensive. It has a politely pleasant sillage, I can clearly smell it on myself for atleast a few hours before it wears closer to the skin. I personally find it addictive. It is my go-to for running errands or for very casual days. The body lotion is good too, very scented, hydrating, and comes in a generous tube. It does smell like Nina, maybe abit more synthetic, it's also more tart/sour and there is a more distinctive jasmine note as it dries down, but Amore Mio has a much, much friendlier price point and it lasts longer on me than Nina...so that makes it a winner in my books.

Honestly, after a few rather well needed glasses of wine and whiskey and a terrible day I rather feel at past 1am I need to review this. So having just consumed sickly chocolate galore and a plethora of cheese with my wine, this is the perfect antidote. Now I normally love heavy incensey niche scents but as I sit in bed currently (or even right after showering in the morning) I must admit this is the perfect fruity floral! It's not sickly sweet and it has a gourmand note whilst still being rather refreshing. To me it is mostly lemon and marzipan with hints of things like cedar (which normally doesn't work for me) and musk (don't particularly catch it but something lasts on my skin and I'm assuming this is it.) For £10 in the sale with body lotion I'm perfectly happy, it's tons better than its sibling 'Amore Mio Forever' (smells like nice fruity shampoo to me) and beats modern sugary celebrity scents!

I am a Nina Ricci fan with experience and Nina was my signature scent for years, until Luna came along. I must say, Amore Mio does remind me strongly of Nina but not at first sniff. At first, I get some strange smoky scent, not fruity as the pyramid suggests, but something akin to fallen leaves on a bonfire, prunes, or dark chocolate. It’s not unpleasant, but rather unexpected. Yet after a couple of hours, it is a very convincing Nina impression. I am not sure I would tell the difference. It becomes more rounded and sweet as time passes. Right now, I’ve developed a taste for more gourmand, candy scents, but Amore Mio is still charming. I wear it when I feel nostalgic and want to conjure up memories of my college years when I wore Nina all the time. Who would’ve thought! I could never tell from the notes that these scents would be so similar.

I just got this and it smells like Antonio Banderas blue perfume. It is like Nina as well. That is why I got it. I have the Antonio one and it just would not last on my skin this one lasts and lasts for me. I noticed a few reviewers said it doesn't last verywell. I tested it first and it lasted so I got it. It is cheap and really unless you really want the Nina bottle or whatever this is just as good and probably lasts just as long. The mazipan is a little like Jennifer Lopez Live Platinum. This is sweet and foody smelling but as it dries it is smoother and less sweet. Try the Antonio one or Nina. If you like those then that is pretty much what this is. I only say that so you don't go searching for it because it is hard to get and just as easy to get Nina or Antonio's one. Very similar.

Very fruity, the lemon and cherry are very noticeable. There is a hint of almond and tonka, but I don't smell the other notes so much. The first spray gives a sharp blast of lemon, but within a few seconds it mellows and becomes very pleasant. This is a light fragrance and suitable for wearing to work on a hot summer day. I don't find it too sweet at all and I think it is suitable for all ages. Like most of the Arthes fragrances, this should be treated like a cologne in terms of concentration, although it is termed an eau de parfum. Expect to re-apply during the day, but in hot weather, that is not a disadvantage. It is not my favourite Amore Mio variant (I prefer Dolce Paloma and Forever), but I expect to use this bottle and its accompanying body lotion to the last drop.

This is a charming scent. Another from my recent acquisition of decants thanks to my wonderful Fragrantican angel! It's mostly fruity, but I can't quite determine the fruit. I feel like it's closer to Apple than cherry, but I suppose through the development that could have been interpreted a few different ways. It's also got a very noticeable gourmand side to it, though it's mostly fresh and not overwhelming. Marzipan is very distinct. I also definitely detect the almond which I believe contributes to the gourmand twist without being sugary. Overall, it's more sophisticated than one might think from something so adorable. It would be a great option for a gift for a young girl. I wouldn't buy a bottle myself, but I'll enjoy the few wears I get from this decant!

The "half apple" bottle is cute but that serpent cap... bleah... talk about kitsch! Were they trying to hint at the original sin with this design... the apple, the serpent and they called it "Amore Mio" meaning My Love?! Thankfully the perfume itself smells good. I was honestly expecting a bit more nutty gourmand richness from it looking at its composition, but instead i got a very fresh fruity vibe. I guess this could be a flirty smart-casual fragrance. It's projection was decent and i really cant complain about the longevity. I didn't go gaga for it but i'm sure it's gonna grow on me eventually =) U can follow me on YouTube @ BeautyOnSale

The notes make it seem like it might be such a delicious scent... but it's not. This almost smells like new dolls. Definitely far from gourmand territory. There is a slight aquatic fruity note that I recognize from Amore Mio Forever (the light blue bottle flanker), but here it is toned down to just a nuance over a predominantly musky, nondescript floral fragrance. It is quite affordable but I would only use it for bedtime. I like it more as time goes by, but it's not even close to being my type of scent.

For me this is not a dupe for Nina by Nina Ricci. This perfume is very citrusy and a liiiiitle hint of sweet, that's all. It does not smell the almonds or the marzipan either. The perfume of Nina is much more rich and better in projection and longevity. This perfume unfortunally just last 4 hours on clothes. After that is kind of intimate smell you get. Its very cheap but lacks longevity. I supposed that for the price, you cannot ask too much.

Very pretty, very sweet, very cute, but very little projection - but then I bought this for less than a fiver so not really sure what else could be expected, this is not a powerhouse perfume and it never claimed to be. It's a fairly standard fruity floral with some gourmand notes in the background. As other reviews have mentioned, the notes are a little hodgepodge in the beginning; they make a more cohesive argument a few minutes in.

For the price it is really worth it if you're looking for a girly perfume, waaaay better quality than the ones from Body Shop in my opinion. It has a floral-fruity generic scent which I feel will appeal to the masses. It has a decent dry down and decent staying power. If you're looking for a summer fragrance but do not want to spend the extra pounds, go for this. Only thing is I hate that stupid snake on the bottle.

I love the bottle. I just tried this today, and am having a hard time smelling it on my skin after the initial spray. I need to stop blind buying perfumes, I think I have a perfume problem, actually... I do think it's pretty, fruity, and sweet, and will spray it on my clothes as someone suggested. I don't think I will replace this with another bottle when it's gone, but I like it for now.

This scent is fresh and sweet and the lemon and cherry seem prominent. It is very inexpensive too, so that's a plus. I don't know if I would ever buy it again because of its similarity to other fragrances I already have, but the apple bottle looks cute next to my collection of Nina apples. I may even consider buying the other versions of this just to collect the apples. :)
