Pierre de Velay Amour

Pierre de Velay Amour is brilliant sweet and powdery chypre, blended to perfection. It opens with a thick and creamy combination of ylang and violet which is almost candy-like, with rose, heliotrope and white florals in the background. There’s also a very faint fizz from the bergamot and lime. As it settles on the skin, the iconic note of creamy oakmoss presents itself in typical chypre fashion, alongside a spicy ginger and sweet saffron. These are the primary notes which make up the scent profile, as with all of Roja’s creations there’s a lot going on in the background. Amour takes the classic French chypre and sweetens it significantly, becoming slightly reminiscent of Parma Violets. It’s soft, creamy, powdery and delicious - creating an addicting and alluring sillage. It reminds me of RDHP15 which follows the same violet-dominated chypre accord, but here there is no peach and instead is much sweeter with vanilla. Overall a fantastic creation.

Smells like a mix of RDHP 15 and Haute Luxe (minus the cloves)

I'm really disappointed at this. It literally smells like violet candy with coca cola chypre. It really annoys me so much...it's unique but, it's seriously unpleasant. I never need such a "Amour" if it smells like this!

Ooof this is luxurious powder. Complex, but wearable and inviting. Florals are evident, ylang for sure, but so well blended that individual notes are not the point ... it’s the feeling that matters, and this is elegant, comforting and luxurious. The vanilla that comes in during the mid / dry down is the unsweetened modern style we see around. But in the end, it’s a luxurious powder accord that creates a nice scent bubble for the first 5 hours. Strong performance. Has that unfamiliarity nature that mages or addictive. I like it. First time wearing in public and someone gave me at least 5 compliments over the course of the night about how amazing it smelt. Others like it also.

It distantly reminds me of Oriza Legrand Le Regent. Amour is sweet and quite feminine to my nose. There is a vintage flare to it in a way that is nostalgic. For some reason, it makes me think about baroque cupids.
