Army Of Lovers

EN. This perfume is masterpiece - miraculous and amazing. Everything is perfect and balanced in this fragrance: the opening notes of coriander, rose and violet, the middle note of cashmeran ("cashmere wood" - an artificially created absolutely fantastic ingredient) and the base of honey and musk. Unlike many other fragrances that strike you with magnificent opening, turning then into a sweet&swoosh banality, Army of Lovers show its force only a few minutes later, becoming a part of your mind. Then the synthetic ingredients, intertwined with hints of rose and violet becomes your alter ego, into the obsession of self-contemplation. IT. Il capolavoro - perfetto e straordinario. Tutto è perfetto ed equilibrato in questo profumo: le note iniziali del coriandolo, della rosa e della violetta, la nota di cuore del kashmeran ("legno di cashmere" - un ingrediente assolutamente fantastico, creato artificialmente) e la base di miele e muschio. A differenza di molti profumi che ti colpiscono con l'apertura magnifica, ma poi si trasformano in una banalità dolce-legnosa, Army of Lovers guadagna il terreno solo pochi minuti dopo, diventando un'onda pulsante della tua mente con cui la base sintetica, intrecciata con sentori di rosa e violetta si trasforma in tuo alter ego, in ossessione di auto-contemplazione.

There are definitely echoes of Portrait of a Lady running through this. Like many, my favorite rose/patch scent. There is more musk and the distinctive cashmere wood note is present. These two notes come more to the fore further along its timeline and stay to the last along with the patch. Honey is listed but it's not an easy to detect note. It's not an obviously sweet scent. The oak moss curtails too much sweetness being evident. I wish the rose stayed prominent like it does in Poal. Ah well I enjoyed the Poal resemblance while it lasted. A rich intense scent. Very lovely. If you love patch then this is a must try. I'd say perfectly unisex and one to wear at night or in cool weather. It has good sillage and longevity.

Wear this and you will own the room. Greatest is a word that you can comfortably associate with this fragrance. This is the sports car of rose scents. The rose here is turbo charged, speeding past all the other notes. Patchouli and musks play prominent roles as it adds sophistication. The reviewer below said this is a masterpiece. The truest words he ever typed. A bona fide winner sure to entertain humanity for eternity. I will literally buy you a bottle of your choice if you can find a better rose scent than Army of Lovers.

Thick, gorgeous, syrupy, narcotic rose on a bed of spices and woods. Downright swoony. There's a vintage-y feel to this that I really like. Sillage is exceptional. You know that scene in Moonstruck, where Cher transforms from a mousy woman in a sweater to a total gorgeous diva, and then goes to the opera? This perfume reminds me of that. Opulent, beautiful. Not really for casual wear, nor for a shrinking violet. Get ready to be noticed. Adore.

Well, it makes me feel like a dirty animal and I love it. Jokes aside, it’s a dark animalistic rose scent. Oakmoss gives it a perfect twist, making sure it doesn’t end up polished and sweet. It doesn’t hum a tragically beautiful melody like many rose patch frags do, it screams in your face. Beware of overspraying, everyone in the room will hate you. Decadent, kitsch and beautiful.
