Review of Amarige Eau de Toilette by aad de gids

to think, that in 1991 I deemed this perfume as 'too light' for my taste, and in which' bubble one sits in having her's, his', ménagerie of known, tested, preferred and favorite perfumes nearby.... the 1980s had passed and later it proved to be my decade of personal 'boudoirrerie' of heady, bewitching, INKNIFING assaulting hooker perfumes, which now still exhillirate me. and then, the worst, the most faux, les mesdames de nuit. GIORGIO POISON COCO MOSCHINO.Pdt GEM FIRST OSCARdelaRenta KNOWING NAHéMA OBSESSION OPIUM1971 YOUTHDEW1950s CHARLIE1970s and in the amnostic ozonic diluted oceanic sportive crisp and aquatic 1990s era then still BOUDOIR NAHÉMA DONNAKARAN FLEURdeBULGARIE IRISIA MUSTdeCARTIER1980s MUST.II PANTHEREthe real one. ok enough namedropping. so I esteemed AMARIGE and also YSATIS and SAMSARA too light, compared to all those penitentiary hookers. but i have rediscovered both (Domique Ropions, my favorite perfumer) Ysatis and Amarige. Amarige really is a WEALTH of flowers, with an arrow like-Tubéreuse, and all the white flowers, roses, orchids, yellow violence he could find and it is completely to my tastes. the fruity opening, which I tend to be always almost amnostic to with exeptions of the plum in POISON and BOUCHERON (or JAIPUR), the APRICOT in Montales Pure Gold, yet mostly all fruits fly by in full sight. I can smell the peach in Chanel No5. yet also here I definitely smell the peach and the plum. these always make a perfume more delectable to me. then such explosion of flowers to be compared with GIORGIO and BEAUTIFUL, and with POISONs Tubéreuse, with Chanel COCOs (and YSL.PARISs) roses, and with all flower-rich concoctions which come in to me directly in my blood ('inknifingly'). pollen, stamen, petals and vibrant colours but above all indoles, damascenes, elements of wilthed flowers nearing to the piss scent of civet. it is too much and that is exactly the way I like it. as Donatella Versace said: 'less is less as far as I am concerned' and with her, Madonna and Karl Lagerfeld. yet Hubert de Givenchy paradoxically was a master in restraint, however that must have been European Parisian détachement bc I clearly remember one of his Haute Couture Collections of the 1980s with fluid dresses with outward sown noeuds, rubans and frivolités, and slits to thére and further. yet in that chic and elegant de Givenchy way. but he also had an encourageing conversation with Alexander McQueen to do what he felt like to do as new artistic director of Givenchy. anyway this AMARIGE rightfully fits the bill, still, of the 1980s decade. it is an energizing, asphyxiating, over the top and entering before the weareress is entering, perfume. just my cup of tea.
