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.

On my skin, pomegranate tames the tuberose completely. Usually tuberose strangles me, but in this scent it's polite and powdery. If I didn't know what the notes were, I'd say this smells like dried apricots - must be the sour juicy fruits on white florals that give that impression.

I got this perfume because of the use of pomegranate and it did not disappoint! The scent is there from beginning to end in my nose. I love this perfume, it's my current fave!!

This fragrance smells all the notes blending together, fresh and Very lovely in sunny days, i got many compliments with this perfume

Lovely light slightly sweet perfume. Ideal for day wear if you don't want anything too heavy. Sadly it doesn't last very long

Hule idéntico a "mini liberty" es exquisito ! Floral dulce, juvenil, romántico me encanta!

Ahhhh... this should be called the smell of calm.

Damn, why is this limited edition??!!

This was a surprise. I've had a sample vial of Jeu d'Amour for some time now, but haven't really been drawn to try it until today, which I only did because it was in my bag and I didn't like the other vial I tried on this morning (Marc Jacobs Honey). The notes on the list on this page are not my usual thing. I'm not a big fan of florals, especially white florals, and I tend to be cautious with tuberose in particular. That said, I also am not very good at identifying individual floral notes (except rose, iris and violet, which it turns out I love in certain perfumes), so I couldn't imagine what this might smell like. Well, as it turns out, I am enjoying this perfume very much. The opening is fresh and juicy, which must be the fruit and tea notes. While quite pleasant, it was the drydown that really hooked me in. The early transition between opening and drydown was not particularly impressive, but the fragrance grew increasingly lovelier, until I later caught a lightly sweet and powdery, slightly musky scent that strongly reminded me of something. It took a while before I realized it reminded me of L'Occitane Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc, but even more beautiful. Comparing the notes, they only have musk in common, but reading up I learned that freesia is from the iris family, so I'm not sure if that is why they smell similar to me. Whatever it is, I am enjoying Jeu d'Amour even more than I do the L'Occitane fragrance, because while I like the latter's drydown, I get a waxy opening from it, which I could almost taste. The Kenzo fragrance only shares the delicately powdery drydown, except it is fuller and milkier, more delightful. Since I already have Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc, I'm not sure if a full bottle of Jeu d'Amour is worth seeking for me, despite my liking it more. It's not normally the kind of scent I reach for (indeed, I don't use Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc much), but it's nice to have for when the mood strikes or just to smell occasionally. I will at least use up this vial if I couldn't get a small decant.

I like this Jeu d'Amour. When I saw the bottle I thought: ok, here is yet another flanker, can't designers make anything new? Anyway I tried it and didn't regret. It's a lively floral with a zesty fruity opening and a long drydown in the vanillic musky modern way. Nothing new, good news. The opening is zesty but sweet, maybe because of the blood mandarine. It has an uplifting vibe and it reminds me of a very old fruity way: the '80s fruity scents. It's a slight different take compared to the endless fake fruit basket with only the berries variation of the last years. This put me in a good disposition for the rest. Not that this scent is the epithome of creativity and originality, but in the messy sea of mainstream it stands quite bright. The heart is floral or at least synthetical floral. I don't get the tuberose at all. Not in the way of the classic somptuous, carnal, warm and thick tuberose scents. It seems to me that many new perfumes features tuberose or gardenia, then they smell nothing like them and they are probably replacers. Like for strawberries, sandalwood and other materials. I guess few people get to smell real tuberose in a garden (and many would run away especially from some species!) so here it is the "new" tuberose. A fresher fake. Not too bad, at least it is nicely blended. Then comes the inevitable sweet musky base of our days, nice enough for about 2 hours, then it falls flat with that edge of bath products and bodysprays. This is a scent I could wear very easily and feel pretty, feminine, young and into the crowd, but with some distinction.

Kenzo Jeu d'Amour opens with juicy pomegranate and a hint of mandarin. The pomegranate wears off into a vague fruity nuance after about 30 minutes, and the whole stage is left to the tuberose to shine. The tuberose here has a slight buttery and milky texture. Along with a freshness lent from freesia, the tuberose feels relatively real, and doesn't get lost in a abstract fruity floral sweetness like some fragrances do. Granted, it smells mainstream, and far from being original or striking, but it's very nice and shows enough textures for me perceive it as a relatively true tuberose. The drydown after about 6 hours is a lily-vanilla base, with a slight suntan lotion vibe and a sort of powdered sugar mixed in, not uncommon to a few other fragrances in the same genre such as Lys Soleia and Baiser Volé Essence de Parfum, but it's just as lovely. The sillage is moderate and the longevity is around 10 hours. Jeu d'Amour is a bright, relatively authentic tuberose, with a sensuous white floral and vanilla drydown. If you're interested in a big tuberose, but at the same time not too difficult to wear, Jeu d'Amour could be a lovely option.

I received a sample of this fragrance along with a couple of purchases and never really gave it much thought. At New Year however, I left the family party early and went to my college city to celebrate with my friends and boyfriend. When I woke up the next morning I smelled of tobacco, spilled beer and had bags for days under my eyes, everything you don't want your family to see at family dinner. After a quick shower I realized I moved all my perfumes home for the holiday except this little one. it was light, flowery, sweet and velvety smooth and it seemed to go along perfect with the pancakes I made that morning before returning home to go to the family dinner. My boyfriend had a hangover and is very sensitive to smells but he even cuddled and I felt clean and elegant despite the serious lack of sleep. It's a great light fragrance and I will forever link it to me walking in flat boots and a black dress through the snow with a cold winter sun peeking through the clouds after a wonderful night.

Very nice opening I mean wow. Ince I get past that and let the other notes come through, it's a white floral. Proud know the type, the Jasmine, gardenia ..... etc. well, these go bitter in me sadly, this one hasn't yet but we'll see. It's very pretty, don't wear it with anything sweet or the sweetness will bring out the bitter, let it be, soft and floral. Similar to Michael by Michael kors Glam Jasmine by m kors Prada infusion de orange r but kenzo is prettier Prob modern muse by e Lauder There's a little handful I've had recently and they're all of this type and I sigh with annoyance even though I'd like to love them. It's very pretty but, if these sort generally go funny on your skin don't blind buy.

I often like what Daphne Bugey creates. This one likeable too even if created by two people. The fragrance reminds me about Amarige by Givenchy, in its heart notes mostly. It's something like an updated and changed Amarige, more modern. The base notes are sweet, almost caramel-like though, and Givenchy has definitely much better sillage on me. In fact, the fragrance has a good sillage in the first half an hour and then it decreases and decreases, to stay almost undetectable in the end. I'd expect more sillage, it's KENZO! Actually my favourite brand, I guess. The fragrance would suit a young woman, a woman in her middle age and elderly one too, not a very young teenager. It's sexy!

I consider this fragrance very beautiful and feminine and not ordinary...it is sweet but not in a heavy way...my partner doesn ́t like heavy fragrances on me, but this one he can stand...he even says it would fit me during spring or summer, even though I bought it as a winter/ fall fragrance...I am very curious about summer, I think it will change a bit its character. If you like sweeter and romantic fragrances, this is a good choice...not too heavy...it ́s romantic, princessy, warm... Sillage is quite good, but not too owerwhelming...it lasts 5 - 6 hours on my skin...on my sweater even on the other day:) p.s. EDT is loud and a bit soury, I don ́t like at all...

Lovely fragrance! Fresh, feminine, calm. A good choice for people looking for a sensual and minimalist spring scent. I am glad to have it in my collection. This perfume is a people pleaser with personality. I imagine a young woman drinking tea in Japan in the early morning hours when i smell it. She is serene, joyful, grateful, self-loving and confident. My nose detected tuberose (creamy and fresh), musk (gives the scent a subtle powdery touch) and pomegranate (soft fruity and a bit aquatic). If you want a scent that smell like peace and freshly cuted flowers, try Jeu d‘Amour. Final note: 8/10 Sillage: soft Longevity: moderate
