Mi Amore

I am really really surprised by this one - I like it a lot! This is an incredibly sexy, warm, sweet and slightly spicy perfume. I got this for £19.99 on Ebay for an absolutely huge bottle, and I'm very pleased with my purchase. For me, the opening blast was ripe plum, spun sugar and musky notes. I thought it was okay, but as the day went on, I kept getting a beautiful cloud of sweet raspberry candy-floss lingering around me, and I realized it was this scent! It really mellowed out on my skin, and I enjoyed the warm, comforting sweetness. Someone below said it was a "come hither" perfume, and I definitely agree! I wore this to see my other half today and he buried his nose into the crook of my neck, took a deep inhale and told me I smelt delicious. (He rarely compliments my perfumes, so I knew this one was a winner.) I can't say I enjoy the bottle... It's pretty gaudy, but never mind! The juice inside makes up for it. Mi Amore, in my opinion, is perhaps the more grown up, sophisticated, older, sexier sister of Pink Sugar. (I didn't like Pink Sugar at all, it was too bitter and cold smelling for me!) They're not overly alike, but to my nose, there is a slight similarity. It must be the sugar. Mi Amore has a lot more depth, and really develops on my skin into a deep, sensual wrist-sniffing perfume with it's dreamy vanilla dry down. Mi Amore is the glamorous one in the family, in strappy high heels and a tight pink dress, adorned with dazzling bling and a faux fur coat to top it all off. Sexy, playful, demanding and confident. I think I have a new date night perfume!

Delightful and dreamy! Okay, so far I'm impressed, the 95% positive reviews have not let me down at all. 'XOXO Mi Amore' is a super-feminine, subtly-flirty, daytime bright, clean scent. The opening is 100% the highlight for me! It's literally tangy ORANGE CANDY! But not too sweet or synthetic. The raspberry is tart too!, supporting the orange. There's also something else I can't quite put my finger on that makes this opening complex... Within 30-45 minutes, the scent develops into a gentle plummy cotton candy with a hint of vanilla. I feel the heart loses complexity from the opening, but it's still delicious and soapy. You'd think 'XOXO Mi Amore' might be too powdery or sickeningly cloying, but it's the COMPLETE opposite. 4-5 Hours on my skin and complexity has deepened again! The dry-down is so appealing: amber, woody...just a touch of musk. Smells so clean and classy! I'll be completely honest: I was expecting an absurdly cloying artificial mess of a fragrance, but instead was countered with a perfume that has none of those characteristics. This has great depth, mass-appealing, exudes cleanliness, is loved by men and 100% feminine. I'll definitely be keeping this as it's one-of-its-kind in my frag roster. Gorgeous!

Ok, editing this with a brand new post since I got a bottle of the perfume to use in conjunction with the body spray. First off: SWEET TARTS. This makes me smell like a walking sweet tart. This is *not* necessarily at all a bad thing in fact when hubby walked in the door at the end of the night he walked right over, sniffed my neck, kissed it and said, "I approve of whatever this new fragrance is". :) At first I thought I'd get sick of it but I noticed as the day wore on that I enjoyed the raspberries, oranges and overall sweetness of the perfume. I even went back and spritzed some more to refresh later! As the hours wore on and the fragrance mellowed out I was VERY much reminded of Delicious Cotton Candy and a *little* bit of the sugary elements in Pink Sugar but only a bit. In fact, I think this perfume would layer perfectly with Delicious Cotton Candy so I'll likely give that one a try. All in all, a GREAT value! A WHOLE lot of sweet-smelling, long-lasting perfume at a rock bottom price. I'd recommend it to any of my fellow gourmands.

Oh my word. This scent IMMEDIATELY brought back childhood memories of playing with an older child who owned a Strawberry Shortcake doll and friends. It does not have the exact scent of Strawberry Shortcake, but rather one of her berry scented pals. I smell a mixture of densely sweet, artificial berries and that 'plastic dolly' note that may well be synthetic amber. Linear, Young, and Strong. The only difference in the dry down is that it softens and showcases a tad more powder. The feeling conjured up for me is that of childhood fantasies and sweetened, plastic dolly skin. :D I would never compare it to fragrances with a genuine berry aura, or the classics that have withstood years of scrutiny and wear. But as ITSELF I consider it to be a guilty treat. Like that bit of chocolate you really don't need.... which brightens the entire day! Update - I couldn't resist. I now own the body spray and consider myself rather lucky. <3 This is happiness in a bottle, and utterly adorable. <3

Just bought from eBay for $13 great price. I was so excited to try this blind buy according to the reviews íve read on here. I will start off by saying at first spray I was like oh no! It smelled like CK obsession for women in the dark brown bottle... I don't hate CK obsession but don't like it for me personally. Therefore after a 15min ít smelled exactly like BS Fantasy which I like and own. With that being said í was little disappointed I was hoping for the the smell of plums, berries etc. All I got was powdery vanilla it last 2-3hrs on me but then again I only sprayed 1-2 light sprays. As í said earlier I like and own BS fantasy, and to me well on me smells identical!! It's not bad àt all íf you give it a chance after the first spray! Lol, I don't think I will be repurchasing this again. Although for $13 I don't consider this loss. Just wished It would have smelled more plúm ànd raspberries which I love!!! Therefore if you like BS Fantasy you will enjoy this! ✌🏼

I'm thrilled Mi Amore is still available! The body spray is absolutely delightful and only needs to be longer lasting to be perfect. It's strong and delectable. That it also comes as a perfume is perfect. Mi Amore hits a special spot for me, smelling like no particular berry or gourmand scent I already own, even as compared with Pink Sugar. They are related, but not even slightly twins. What does Mi Amore smell like? Like Strawberry Shortcake's gal pals! Like scented erasers. Like a plastic doll with berry scented hair. Like CHILDHOOD, in the best possible way. Oh, how I love it! Highly recommended as a budget treat for those who enjoy sweet gourmands and trips to Strawberry Shortcake land. :D

One of my favorite daily fragrances, simply a potent cotton candy perfume. Everything you could say about this fragrance has been said 100 times haha. Its like the body fantasies cotton candy body mist as a perfume. There’s little to no complexity here, which makes this amazing for layering on other frags. Sadly, the lack of complexity can make you want to wear more performative gourmand fragrances in your collection. Be careful not to overspray, one spritz too many and it turns ultra cheap. For that reason I sometimes prefer the more mild 8 oz body mist version for a fun lil mid day mood booster. 😌

Mi Amore is a good alternative for those who dislike Pink Sugar's opening, licorice, or the cotton candy sugar fest. This is just as much of a sugar fest, very sweet, but the sugar is fresher (not as warm) with raspberries dancing in the background. It opens fresh, fruity-sweet with orange and raspberry. As the fragrance settles, the sugar comes forth and the raspberry (not syrupy but not sour either) is the back-up singer. For anyone who almost likes Pink Sugar, try this!!

omg this smells delicious, mmmmm. I love wearing it. It's just a gorgeously sweet smell, but NOT sickly sweet. Just the right amount of sweetness, and it's slightly warm. I love woody vanilla sugary perfumes. I don't like Pink Sugar because it had a bitterness to it when I smelled it. I consider this much better. I have the body spray version though. I can smell it on myself right now, and it makes me happy.

I got this as a blind buy after reading the reviews on here and I'm so glad I did. It's a very sweet gourmand fragrance. I can see the resemblance to Pink Sugar especially on the dry down but Mi Amore doesnt have the liquorice and burnt sugar note that pink sugar has. This on has more of a sugar and vanilla note. I will wear this all year round evening hot days! A fab blind buy.

This is a sweet delight of a scent. It is a blend of fresh oranges and ripe raspberries sprinkled with sparkling sugar, and topped off with a scoop of cool creamy vanilla soft serve ice cream! So sweet and aromatic and feminine. As sweet as it is, it is never overpowering or cloying, so wear it with confidence whenever you feel playful and flirty. Perfect summer scent!!!

This was a blind buy~ which I don't regret! It is almost identical to Escada Magnetism, but more affordable! It is dark yet creamy, fresh-baked cookies and plum. Staying power is good, it is very tasteful. Not at all fruity in an aquatic sort of way, the only way I can describe it is; fresh baked cookies and plum. Yum.

Very sexy and sultry come-hither perfume! Sweet, but not sickening sweet. Sexy sweet and not common, if that makes sense. Reminds me a bit of Pink Sugar minus the burnt sugar smell. It's like a toned-down PS. But this is a million times better than Pink Sugar.

Very sweet & smells like candy! Heavy raspberry & orange sugar bomb. I recommend if you love sweet gourmands & got it for under $20! Lasts about 3 hours on me. Longer on clothes! Smells similar to Pink sugar minus the licorice & caramel notes 10/10

Awesomeee! Not cloying, mature and draws compliments. Nice on the budget - value for 3.4 oz. Like it on me lots as much as I do like Britney Midnight fantasy, and more than the popular Pink Sugar and Hayman Pink scents. Gotta try it!

Great perfume if starting a perfume collection. Nice sweet smell and it's repetitively cheap. Only warning is it is a bit too sweet at times as someone who only wears sweet perfumes I love it but I can be a bit too much for others.

Beautiful, vanilla, raspberry and sugar gourmand!!! It really smells like raspberry jam and I like that! I have tried many perfumes that are described as "jammy," but this one takes the cake.. the raspberry cake that is ;).

in my opinion this has good lasting power per spray and value for 3.5oz vs true religion - i like it now a little better than true religion. yay a keeper!

Sugared raspberries with a hint of orange oil is the best way I can describe it.

LLLLLLOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
