I love this fragrance. It is such an interesting combination with the milk, banana and ylang ylang. The scent starts off very green and gradually becomes more musky spicy and milky. Beautiful perfume
Gorgeous!!! Delicious concoction!!! I love, love,love it!!! So creamy, sweet; banana dessert, vanilla, beautiful lush flowers, amazing warm spices, rich and potent, dreamy milky sandalwood, oozing with sensuousness and yumminess. Aromatic and calming, musky and evocative, erotic. Very very sensual, exotic, moorish and - yes! - lickable!!!! Very long-lasting and great sillage!!! Load, loads of compliments!!! My husband particularly adores it!!! It's absolutely heavenly!!!!
Milky grass is my initial impression of this. Creamy notes (burnt milk) and lots of greens, grass, leaves, and go figure what else..., possibly baby puke.. disgusting! Such a strange perfume. It has vomit inducing powers. I had high hopes for this one. Glad to sample it first. I hope I never encounter this scent near me. I cannot stomach this; it is one of these really bad smells where all the notes are off key.
Amaranthine opens with sparkling fresh green notes that after few minutes became warmer thanks to flowers. In its heart i can recognize rose and carnation stronger that the others. Then the drydown is very sweet and it's like vanilla powder.i think taht condensed milk gives cremosity to the composition.i recomend it for who loves mistery and wants to be seductive...
The moment I applied this, I was struck by how realistic an impression of a flower in bloom it offered. A warm, summery tropical flower, not so much the clear scent of flowers in spring. But there was an odd note that kept getting in the way of my judgment that this was yet another high-end floral fragrance. It was a sappy note, green but not clean, reminding me somehow of heat, sweat, muck. There was also something that registered to me as the musk of clean skin, with an overlay of dried perspiration from the heat or from labor. The combination was so disquieting I had to go check the list of notes, which I'm trying not to do nowadays, whenever I review a new perfume. Immediately I reaized it was the scent of banana leaves. Banana trunks, actually, banana flowers, any part of the plant except for the fruit. I grew up in a tropical country and bananas were everywhere, even in suburbian backyards, but this incredible scent was of a young girl's peramubulations off the beaten track -- of endless banana groves and the thatch huts in between, of artesian well water, unpaved mud-slicked paths, of sunlight on a tangle of vines, of Third World poverty. As for the musky skin note (oh yes, "animalic" -- I do get the reference in Scorpiosheep's review) it may have been the effect of the milk accord in combination with the banana leaf, and my own memory. The banana vegetation note will mean different things to many people: I can understand how Europeans would equate this with expensive and exotic, as the only banana plants they might encounter would be the disciplined, manicured ones decorating a corner at a tropical resort, and the musky animalic quality the result of their own recreational labors. I see how many would enjoy this perfume based on those images, experienced or imagined. After I had identified the note, I couldn't enjoy this fragrance much longer, nor get a good, objective picture of the other elements of the composition. It smelled too realistically of a world infused with frustration, uncertainty and unrealized dreams. EDIT: The dry-down IS to-die-for, though. Delicate and woody, almost no trace of the earlier accords. Such a strange, disjointed perfume.
