Amande

- Almonds, powdery notes, touch of vanilla, made elegant and clean with the subtle passion fruit. Fairly linear but that’s what it’s meant to be, which makes it good for layering. - Luxury housespouse energy. Like idk how else to explain it. So dainty but not in a dressed up way, more like cozy. Skincare, cleanliness, and no thoughts other than a short todo list, just relaxing. Almond croissant characteristics. - this is SOOO worth the 20 USD price tag. It lasted close to six hours on my skin and stayed a “for you” scent space fragrance. This is the only fragrance my roomate has ever unsolicitedly complimented me on and I also got compliments from many people on errand runs despite its weak sillage. It’s so easy to wear this all year round too. I def recommend this fragrance.

This is a light but sticky almond scent. It doesn't approach Good Girl in terms of depth or longevity, so if you're looking to buy this as a dupe, lower your expectations. This is marzipan and sugar coated almonds with airy vanilla. It is great as a base for other gourmand scents but isn't particularly strong. I layer it with Kayali Vanilla 28 and love that combo. I think this could definitely be worn on its own, but it's quite light and fades quickly.

Hearing so many negative things about the longevity but lasted so long on me!! Almost 12hrs. I put on after i showered on top of baby oil so that could be why it lasted the way it did? i don't know but i was very impressed. with solinotes it's hard to not be impressed LOL bcus they're very cheap but perform well in my experience. I will say i don't get the "almond" specifically but it's a very beautiful sweet scent. definitely leans feminine

God I love this so much. What a steal. Perfect for layering, a lovely soft almond. A little sweet, balanced. I can’t explain how much I love this. Got it on sale at Anthropologie and went back for two more bottles. I layer it with so many things and it’s just, chefs kiss. Love love love. Amazing price, great performance, clean, simple, yes please. (Also a safe gift-buy)

Such a beautiful scent, it dries down to a beautiful nutty white floral. Something fruity about it but less obvious after it’s dried. It reminds me a lot of Acqua di Parma’s ‘Mandorlo di Sicilia’, except i was nauseated by ADP’s playdoughy top notes. I foresee this being my new everyday frag!!

This could be a dupe for Good Girl by Carolina. In the initial few minutes, the Almond note is quite overwhelming. Luckily, it quickly settles in with the jasmine and ambery vanilla into a very nice, sweet pleasant albeit generic fragrance.

Just ordered and received today. I really like soft and light spiciness. I’m most likely going to use this for layering with other scents. The only down side is that it doesn’t come in a bigger size.

Fantastic fragrance for the price. Longevivity is great and so is the smell. Lasted about 8hrs. Smells like an almond sicilian cookie.

For me this is a very almond forward Burberry Brit. I like it a lot more than Brit bc you get the almond first, the jasmine a little and I don't know where I'm getting a citrus hit, (passion fruit?) but I'm definitely getting it. The sandalwood and tonka are good quality (molecules, this is too inexpensive for the sandalwood to be natural), supporting the almond. You get that almondy vanilla play dough thing for a bit, I like that. The lime in Brit makes it too masculine sometimes for me, this solves that problem. This is a steal for $20. I've not tried layering it yet, but I think I'm going to wear it on it's own for those days when you just want something easy breezy. Thank you to itstartedwithtinkerbell for pointing out the obvious, order on tartgetdotcom😂

I can see why it's polarizing and defies what many buyers predicted, and I appreciate it for what it is: not a nutty gourmand, just the scent of strong almond extract softened with classic feminine notes. You might even say it's a stripped-down version of Good Girl, so dark and sultry. It's easily overpowered when layered with a gourmand, but it deliciously richens the almond note in Fine'ry Not Another Cherry, a TF Lost Cherry dupe. Would I recommend it? I don't think you'll know whether you like it until you've smelled it for yourself. True to the vision of Solinotes, it's just the essence of "almond" scent minus the nut, take it or leave it.

A simple, smart and elegant fragrance. The almond is spot on- not too sweet and not too bitter. Lovely and intimate with a hint of sugar. There is a smooth, syrupy creaminess to this perfume. I think it’s versatile and could be worn day or night in the cooler months or into spring. I really like the balance here- a lovely almond fragrance for people who like delicious gourmand scents but who don’t want to smell like dessert. The dry down becomes a gorgeous Tonka- vanilla- Mmmmmmmm!

It’s not really nutty to me at all, it opens with Bottle Caps candy, it has a fizziness. There’s also something about it that reads as pink florals? As it dries down, the fizziness fades and it smells like flat root beer.I still get a hint of pink florals but not a bright pink, like a dusty rose pink. As if the florals are diluted with the brown root beer. The deep drydown is a sweet, tonka, vanilla with a hint of a sort of ambroxan musk that calls to mind Not A Perfume.

The almond is only strong in the first 30 min for me then it settles more into a soft white floral with hits of vanilla and dry almond. I wish the strong almond would stay a bit longer but I still think that this is a really good perfume for the price. It smells like a soft mix of Burberry Brit and CH Good Girl with a creamy almond twist. I find this to be very easy to wear and to layer with other fragrances. Very soothing and pleasant smell that I love to wear.

Beautiful, nostalgic, and perfect for layering. I get almond, jasmine and vanilla, but not so much passion fruit or sandalwood. Light, inoffensive but not boring at all. There’s even a slight sharp, bitter quality (like a real almond) that makes it feel more grown-up and interesting than a typical inexpensive gourmand. GREAT value.

Looks a lot like YSL's Libre EdP, but too feminine and pencil-sharp for me. Useful details : english is not my mother tongue and my opinions are copied and pasted from my personal notes, written on the fly after several phases of testing (in the case of this one, I had it in my collection so I wore it regularly).

It's a nice fresh and nutty fragrance. I do smell jasmine and musk.Leans feminine and delicate. I’m pleasantly surprised by this fragrance. I got the discovery set with this, vanille and tonka. I expected vanille to be my favorite but it turned out to be this one.

It doesn't last for hell. But it does have a decent almond note with some juices. Delicate with freshness that most don't shy away from, you'll get feedback about this one! Bottle looks better in person

top note is sharp almond/marzipan, and quickly settles into a straightforward yummy vanilla scent. not a ton of sillage and not the longest lasting, but it's a great value for the price point.

A hint of spice, vanilla & Almond. This is a "safe" basic fragrance. Not too strong, mild projection. Good for fall on it's own or layering to boost other fragrances.

this has really grown on me, I get a very sweet almond scent with a splash of vanilla.

There’s nothing nutty or almond about this fragrance to me, but it is sweet, an inedible gourmand. It reminds me a lot of Burberry Goddess but instead of the lavender in Goddess, Jasmine in Amande. I actually adore the lavender note in Goddess and I don’t so much love the white flower hint in Amande so I don’t prefer this scent. Solinotes are incredibly linear which make them nice for layering, but the sillage and longevity are awful. For a second I regretted spritzing this one on before going to the gym, but it was gone before I made it there so I couldn’t be that mad. I keep it in the car to ward off weird smells or in case I forget to smell sweet before going somewhere. Otherwise it’s pretty useless.

If you love an almond note, the opening is a dream. Blast of almond/amaretto, I am not sure how other reviewers are getting spices, I do not get any spice in this perfume AT ALL. The amaretto is short lived, then it just dries down to fruity jasmine where the passion fruit just dominates and makes it smell a bit cheap tbh. I just don't think the passion fruit works here. Disappointed in the dry down and longevity so probably not keeping this.

Sweet, delicate and pleasant. Descrete. Perfect if you dont want your perfume to make a big statement. Slightly spicy as well.

For me this is a nice perfume but no almond. Very nice and strong passion fruit and jasmine but nothing else....

Anyone that thinks this smells like Rolling In Love, I envy you! I get straight up almond extract syrup that quickly fades into a barely-there, generic hand lotion. It's more lotiony than almondy after about an hour. Can't even smell it enough now to have any opinion on the scent. Unfortunate full bottle blind-buy. When will I ever learn? UPDATE I sprayed this on left wrist, DEMETER Almond on right. DEMETER smells so much better! DEMETER is nuttier, sweeter, and lasts longer. Decluttering this ALMONDE.

When I first got this, I was taken aback. It smells very synthetic. When I smell it, I can pick the passionfruit. It dries powdery with a hint of spice. Not quite the scent I was looking for... I am searching for a bitter almond. This leans more sweet maraschino.. I am excited to see how it layers though with my perfumes that have an almond note listed in them though.

I get mostly white floral from this, with a very delicate touch of almond and sandalwood. "Amande" is a bit of a misnomer, imo; it's simply not a "solinote" almond fragrance. "Almond blossom" or something to that effect would have been more appropriate.

The price tag matches with the juice. Smells generic, cheap and a bit sharp to me. I was hoping for a sweet almond but instead, it's a very bitter one and that might be the issue. Too bad

Sharp almond. I get tart cherry in it too. Not a dupe for GG whatsoever.

Oh dear. I really wanted to like this... the first spray is a lovely amaretto almond which promptly disappears into what smells like ginger, and then the dreaded ambroxan takes over. For hours. I had to wash my arm - that nauseating nuclear fallout of ambroxan obliterated the other notes (and that was one small spray). Just as well I only bought a tiny bottle and it's cheap.

Tried at Target. Bitter, sharp, chemical ambroxan with a whiff of almond. It is possible to make a good budget perfume but this isn't one.

If you are looking for something that smells like almonds and just almonds this is not the one. It was a blind buy for me as I quickly grabbed it in the checkout line. From the perfume name and the brand I assumed it will be something smelling like a single note: like a fresh tender and white almond.(something that will be good to have for layering I thought) Well... The opening is true to the name with a feeling of bitter almonds that fades away quite quickly. After that I can't really detect anything remotely almondly about the scent, no fresh or roasted or perhaps creamy almond-milk-like notes. On my skin it turns pretty quickly to a chemical vanilla and sandalwood concoction. I didn't thoroughly test the dry down to see if it stays decent or start to smell like a bad cheap one. I can't say I am disappointed because for the price I paid I wasn't expecting wonders but I'm disappointed the name mislead me.

Jasmine. Not sure why, but that's all I'm smelling. Jasmine with a hint of powdery musk. It reminds me of an Avon perfume from the 1980's, but I can't put my finger on which one. It also reminds me of my mummy. Jasmine was her favorite fragrance, and her signature was Jovan Musk. While it doesn't smell exactly like that, it's reminiscent enough to be eerie. This was strong enough that it got into my sinuses and I could almost taste it. (is there a word for that?) It's far too much for me! It lasted about 6 hours, and may have lasted longer but I needed to wash it off because it was too strong! Oddly enough, it did NOT cause a migraine - so that's a pleasant surprise! (I am susceptible to scent-triggered migraine!) There's no almond here. With a name like Solinotes, it absolutely feels like a misnomer! I was hoping for something almond, or almond-vanilla for layering. This wasn't it.

Solinotes amande starts with a bitter almond, here we call it 'amaretto', over a soft and subdued jasmine. It is very ethereal and delicate from the beginning, thus the projection is on the weak side (other Solinotes' project a bit, at least in the initial stage). With time, even if the composition does not evolve dramatically, the almond gradually loses the bitterness (maybe it was due to the passion fruit?), Leaning toward a sweeter, gourdmandish almond, given firstly by the tonka bean, then by the vanilla. Almond and vanilla dominate the drydown, when the parfume is a skin scent. Overall, the duration as a skin scent is not bad, but I'd have been hoped for a stronger projection. Now I'd like tro try the layering with other fragrances from this brand.

I am adding a review since there are none here. This is based off of one spray on my wrist at my local Target so I can’t speak to longevity or impressions over time. This is lovely! It instantly reminds me of two scents, and interestingly more, those two scents DON’T remind me of each other at all! I get a little Carner Barcelona Tardes, and a little Aerin Amber Musk. The Solinites is a sweet-leaning almond, hinting at playdoh vanilla without really going there. Wears pretty light, so even though it says EDp, don’t expect much. This is lovely on its own but would also layer well with anything you want to add some warm vanilla/almond vibes to.

immediately smelled almond croissant. threw the test strip in my purse and now a little over 24 hours its very "department store" if you get what I mean. More floral than gourmand but still nutty. I sort of hate it. In an ocd spiral rn and this is intensifying it. I was looking for a buttery pastry or clean lotion like the one from a la maison. this however is waxy (not in a good way), tart, and synthetic. A nope for me

Not at all a dupe for good girl, which is an instant headache trigger for me, but maybe a more wearable/less floral version of it. It also has more of a realistic almond extract note in the beginning, which to my disappointment did not last, as it quickly dried down to a simple vanilla tonka base.

Reminds me of the dutch almond patties my grandma would bring every time she came to visit, so naturally I bought two bottles. Can’t speak to the performance yet, but I didn’t notice it being alcohol heavy upon spraying it in the store so that’s a good sign. 10/10 on the scent alone.

A freshly nothing with the faintest hit of almond lost back there. Not a nutty or creamy almond, but rather a green unriped blossoming almond. If you look for nutty, go somewhere else, this is not it.

This reminds me of Terra Di Gioia. I also got a soft spice when I first spray it. This spice is similar to the spice I pick up in hypnotic poison. I wish it was more long lasting.

Just got this and the first sniff I could clearly smell Mon Guerlain EDP it has the same vanilla note as MG. Super cheap way to have a cozy Guerlain knock off

Extremely pleasant. I watched a YouTuber who equated this with that delightful smell that emulates from the top of a baby’s head. I can see that. Angelic!

Sweet marzipan dough. A little almond flower. This is a scent for a young person, or a layering scent to feminize deeper oils.
