Agape

From start to finish - this is GORGEOUS. The softest, subtly sweet, creamy-powdery, violet-leaning iris foward fragrance. Warm, sensual, tender, and cocooning. Middle notes iris, ylang ylang, and almond are what’s most prominent on me, for the duration of the wear - and what a phenomenally exquisite combination. The immediate scent I get in the opening, in the best way, is nearly identical to unboxing a Cabbage Patch Kid. It’s that same sublime, addicting powdery clean. A beautiful tang emerges about 15 minutes in - which I only detect on clothing; not on my skin. Expertly blended. Each individual note is perceivable to me when focused on. A robust gourmand vanilla and slight hints of resin and wood from the base perfect this masterful composition. It’s a real safe bet. A mass appealing, all-ages easy reach. Appropriate for any time of day, season, occasion. Especially suitable for Spring, the workplace, and bedtime. I’m thoroughly smitten. Shot to the top of my favorite iris perfumes after one wear. An instant add to the Full Bottle Wishlist.

This one is for the almond lovers. Agape is the smell of “the cherry on top”. When I smell this I immediately get a visual of a woman at her vanity, she has just sprayed the last spritz of her perfume and is now applying her shimmery dusting powder to seal the scent in. Agape is the definition of a luxurious powder scent. I can’t stress enough how perfectly blended every scent by SIU is. This is no exception. It’s amazing to me how these notes can merge to create such a milky powdery fragrance. It’s similar to Amour by Kenzo in that it has that almond rice milk vibe. I love that, such a comforting scent that invites others to be in your presence and lean in for a sniff or a hug. While Agape is unisex I find it to be a bit more feminine leaning although I feel it would be really intriguing on a masculine energy as well. Silage is moderate and I can smell this on me all day long with beautiful whiffs of it being spread by the wind.

I’ll start out with saying I adore this fragrance, it smells nostalgic, like how others spoke of it reminding me of the scent of my dolls as a child. It blended beautifully together even with its very unique pairing. It lasted all day with no top up and smelt the same the entire day with no settling of the scents. The almond made the scent creamy and the iris bringing the elegant powdery note. The top notes brought in a freshness that makes you just fall in love. I very much recommend this perfume to everyone.

Since I’m not usually a fan of almond notes, I didn’t expect to enjoy this, but I was completely wrong. I love it. I hope to get a full bottle of it as soon as possible. On my skin, it opens soft and powdery, with a delicate touch of sweetness. It feels creamy, smooth, and beautifully blended, creating a very comforting and elegant scent.

Such a delicate, sweet, gourmand meets skin scent. It’s very comforting and warm. Such a unique and beautiful creation!

Launched in 2023 and signed by a trio of talented noses (Xavier Blaizot, Maud Chabanis and Batiste Humeau), Agape is a fragrance that plays on duality. It is not the classic floral-oriental "piacione", but a layered perfume that evolves elegantly on the skin. Intellectual freshness. The beginning is surprising. Instead of a standard citrus blast, the lemon is accompanied by a very present clary sage, which gives a herbaceous, almost medicinal and clean touch. It's a "cool" and aromatic opening that sets the stage for the heat to come. The heart: The creamy softness Creamy here the fragrance reveals its true soul. The iris is not overly powdery or "dusty" like in other perfumes, but blends with the almond to create a velvety, almost "peach skin" sensation. Ylang-ylang adds a sunny and slightly exotic nuance, while preventing the scent from becoming too sweet or childish. The base is an enveloping, final Sillage where Agape takes root. Vanilla and amber offer a golden sweetness, but it is the oak note that makes the difference: it gives structure, a certain woody "seriousness" that balances the creaminess of the heart and makes the fragrance perfectly unisex. It is an intimate and reassuring scent. The Verdict Agape is a perfume for those seeking comfort in a fragrance. It's sophisticated yet accessible, perfect for those who love almond and vanilla notes but want to avoid the "pastry" effect, thanks to the woody and aromatic backbone. Suitable for those who love enhanced "skin scent" perfumes and for those looking for a more modern and less powdery alternative to the classic iris scents. It is a fragrance that whispers, but never stops talking.

Agape is a Greek term for the highest form of love- unconditional, sacrificial, and self-giving, often defined as conscious choice to seek the.well-being of others without expecting in return. SIU Agape is amber floral fragrance,for man and woman.The notes are very weel-blended,and composition has a certain depth.Even thought it isn't listed in the official scent pyramid,a magical clove note develops on my skin. This composition is Ideal for the holidays, because it radiated a special warmith, complexity,and comfort. The performance is excellent.

AGAPE is a gorgeous gourmand with iris and vanilla being the dominant notes. Pleasant, seductive, bold. I love the SIU's take on contemporary tastes. Their scents are smart and memorable. You'd especially like them if you lack certain lightness and freshness in other interpretations.

Iris lovers, this one’s for you. Agape is a really pretty fragrance. Is it for me? No way, as I’m not an iris lover. BUT I can still appreciate the blend of notes in here as I haven’t smelled anything else like it. Its summary says it all: “A unique balance of cleanness, softness, and mystic depth.” The opening clary sage is really neat, giving it an instant cool factor upon first sniff. The iris and almond in the dry down does replicate a hint of marshmallow sweetness without being cloying. The base of vanilla is realistic, not sweet or baked. It’s just right. This is more feminine but I could see a masculine canvas rocking this with confidence. It’s refreshing while still being cozy. Will I be purchasing this? Absolutely not. Did I still love smelling it anyway? That I did. Thank you SIU for sending me this fragrance in exchange for my honest review.

Agape by SIU, and it immediately gave me the feeling of stepping into a luxurious boutique hotel: soft lighting, velvet furnishings, and freshly laundered fluffy towels still warm from the dryer. The composition opens with a sparkling burst of lemon and clary sage, creating a fresh yet gently aromatic character with a subtle herbaceous touch. As it settles, the fragrance becomes softer and more enveloping, revealing powdery iris and the most beautiful creamy, velvety almond. The almond note is absolutely intoxicating, smooth, comforting, and cocooning, and paired with the iris it feels elegant in the most effortless way. The dry down is a gorgeous blend of vanilla, soft woods, and a delicate amber warmth, giving the scent a cosy, cashmere like finish. It has that clean luxury feel, polished but deeply comforting, like sinking into crisp hotel sheets after a long day. Longevity on my skin is around four hours, though it lingers beautifully on clothes much longer. Projection is more pronounced during the first hour before settling closer to the skin. Overall, this is one of those fragrances that quietly draws you in and keeps you coming back for another smell. Comforting, elegant, and incredibly addictive.

Agape is a creamy, powdery, and comforting fragrance centered around iris, almond, and vanilla. It opens with an aromatic freshness of lemon and clary sage, but quickly evolves into a soft, clean, and elegant blend with a cozy quiet-luxury feel. The almond and iris create a velvety, milky effect that many people describe as nostalgic, cosmetic-like, or reminiscent of an elegant boutique hotel. The vanilla in the base feels warm and refined, never overly sweet. Although officially unisex, it leans slightly feminine. This is not a loud fragrance, but rather a sophisticated skin scent: intimate, elegant, and emotionally comforting.

Perfume really is subjective....because this scent is soft & comforting to me, nothing gourmand or bold imo. The sage & lemon are the stars here, very cooling & relaxing. The iris in the background smells so buttery, the rest of the notes play a supporting role. The fragrance has the right level of sweetness & warmth. This is luxurious hotel lobby vibe.

As another reviewer stated, this is for the iris lovers! Iris is one of my fav notes in perfumery so I'm gushing over this one. I love love love it. Definitely need to get a full bottle. 10/10
