Jeu d'Amour

When I first tried Kenzo - Jeu d'Amour after receiving a sample, I really couldn't decide if I liked it or not - It almost seemed a little annoying. But as I used up the sample it grew on me and I bought a 30ml flacon feeling I would miss it once it was gone. Now just like onimoka, I think I should have bought a larger one! It is a smell I feel I "have" as well as "have not" smelled before. Familiar but unfamiliar at the same time. As it has grown on me I find it is predominantly a soft, warm and beautiful powdery tuberose scent which makes me feel beautiful, loved and desired, not blatantly sexy, rather a quiet sexual confidence. My husband likes it a lot which enhances my feelings towards Jeu d'Amour. To me it feels like "I love you - let's play" more than "game of love" It is not a statement perfume. In my opinion it seems appropriate for both the office and an intimate evening out. I wouldn't wear it to a rock concert or club though. I find the silage is good. If I leave my office I can smell the fragrance as I walk back in (we have an open door policy so the fragrance isn't trapped inside, it seems to be absorbed by the air around you). I think closetlikeboots' comment of it having a faint waft that follows you is spot on as I have noticed it in the passageway outside my office if I have only been away for a short while. Longevity is good, I can still smell it around me after getting home from work 12+ hours later. I haven't got any experience with Avon's perfumes so I can't compare the bottle design, to me it seems an elegant understated bottle, just like the perfume inside.

This is my favorite perfume for the warmer months. I think it's ladylike and youthful at the same time and suitable for all occasions. Very feminine with a hint of flirtyness. The main note is tuberose, which is my favorite floral. It's a fresh and clean one with a hint of creaminess, supported by freesia. A hint of bubblegum-sweetness is there, but not too much. The pomegranate is also quite prominent and gives a sparkling fruity twist. I wouldn't have thought of a blood mandarin note (I never even saw a blood mandarin in my life), but now that I know it's there, I think I can smell a bit of a blood orange note, too. I love that Jeu d'Amour stays fresh the whole time in a soft, non-screechy way. The base is musky and very soft, I find it perfect here. I usually like sweet and warm basenotes, but sometimes a cleaner, less sweet base is even better, and this is the case here. I'm glad they didn't use vanilla for this one. Sillage and lasting power are average and that's fine with me. I love it!

Amo esse perfume! Para mim é o cheiro de um romance. Chega a ser quase indescritível de tanto que gosto. Certamente percebo as notas florais por bastante tempo e na abertura me chama a atenção o toque de chá e uma nota cítrica bem leve. De uma forma ou de outra, a fragrância consegue ser reconfortante e ao mesmo tempo sensual, mas de forma calma. Gostaria apenas que durasse mais pois 4 a 5 horas não é ruim, mas eu adoraria que durasse umas horinhas a mais. I love this perfume! For me, it smells of romance. It's almost indescribable since I like it so much. I can certainly notice the floral notes for quite a while and in the opening the tea notes and blood orange do appear. One way or another, the fragrance manages to be both comforting and sensual, but in a calm way. I just wish it would last longer. Four or five hours isn't bad, but I would love it if it could last a couple of hours longer.

I love this. I have a big collection and I have had this on my wish list for a while. I finally tracked it down and got the biggest bottle I could. There are some days when I just want to smell nice and not be challenged by a fragrance. There is a really nice balance of lightly floral, sweet, fresh, fruity with a delicate creamy base and a touch of powder. Nothing sticks out too much and it makes me feel calm and happy.

Jeu d'Amour Kenzo is very feminine and light fragrance. The note i can hear the most is freesia. Lasting power is 4 hours on skin and app. 8 on cloth. I can feel very aromatic waves from time to time when i walk. Very good for the office, but its romantic and memorable as well. I have only bought 30 ml now thinking to buy a bigger bottle. It does reminds me of Laura by Laura Biagiotti, only this one i like better.
