Hiroshima Mon Amour

No reviews for this! Smelling_gr8 gave me a sample. She wasn't keen but I really like it. I was amazed it wasn't cinnamon because the opening smells just like Big Red chewing gum. I love Big Red. Just to make sure I checked with my husband and he came up with the same. It also has some fruit, which I guess is the yuzu although it's more fleshy than citrus, and some floral aspect which is difficult to discern. Again that probably is the yuzu if you look at the database. It dries down to a fruity vanilla with a little beewax and bubblegum. Unusual, and yet familiar. Get past the bad film associated name and give a sample a go.

Wow! I Love it! It smells pretty true to the notes listed above. Wax, real cherries and that special twist from the yuzu. The yuzu gives a dry, fresh citrus aspect. It stops it getting heavy or too sweet. Slowly you detect the aromatic and wood notes. Gradually you pick out the vanilla, plum and Amber at the back. It's a great combination resulting in a scent that is fresh, fruity with almost a touch of sweet and sour. Moderate longevity and poor sillage. Love it!

Tuberose is not listed as a note here but I'm sure that I can smell it. I can also smell a rather creamy delicious jasmine note. Gosh this fragrance is good but it doesn't smell anything like the notes, I can't smell cherry at all in the opening or in the heart, and I only get a very faint whiff of citrus. If beeswax is there them I can't smell it, but I'm not the greatest expert on notes. To me this smells exactly like Datura Noir, and since I have a bottle of that I won't buy this as it's too similar. However, if you like strong and powerful fragrances which make a real statement and if you like to make your presence known by the perfumes that you wear, then you are going to adore this little beauty. I find this perfume heady, sultry, sexy and domineering in the best possible way. Stunning silage, lasts all day and oh I must just add, In the dry down I can now smell real cherries!!! Wow fantastic perfume!

I used it every day some years ago, and well...I still can't make up my mind about it! It's like a lover you hate/love at the same time. There are days when you crave it, there are days when the idea of putting it on makes you nauseous. It's intriguing and repulsive at the same time, and this dichotomy made it interesting enough to me to buy a full bottle!

It smells like you spill a cherry coke with cough syrup on a fake-leather couch.
