D&G L'Amoureaux 6 (2009)
by Dolce & Gabbana

Even if the first sniff is quite good, and the lemon reminds me of Light Blue (a veeery good scent) L'amoureaux is too soapy and commercial. Nothing special, too similar to drugstores products.

I disagree that this fragrance is strictly masculine, it is certainly unisex in my opinion. A girly girl like myself could wear this with ease.

Initially I thought L'Amoureaux was rather herbaceous, a little like the smell of oregano and basil. Its spiciness was too full on for me at first, yet the more I smelt L'Amoureaux, the more I liked it.

As the scent wore on it became increasingly softer, subtly powdery in some ways. The spiciness is still detectable, however it seems to be much more balanced in the heart.

Woody, green and peppery sums up L'Amoureaux nicely. While I can certainly picture a man wearing this, I think it can just as easily be worn by women. The lasting power is so-so. Not particularly bad but not impressive either.

While basic, this fragrance tends to allude the common spicy fragrances. The greeness gives L'Amoureaux a pleasant freshness which redefines what is expected here. So far I think that the Anthology series has been a success.

While testing out samples lately, I have noticed that I am finding many similarities. Maybe my nose is suffering some sort of disability. I feel like L'Amoureux and Memoir Man by Amouage have similarities. This scent is much lighter and doesn't have the thick "dry" smell as Memoir does. I could definitely see myself wearing this on a winter night sitting by the fireplace with a good book. And yet, I feel it has a very sensual quality that sneaks it's way through the woodsy notes. L'Amoureux is quite mysterious and beautiful.

Slightly into the negative rating.
Top: bergamot, juniper, pink pepper
Mid: cardamom, birch leaf, orris heart
Base: wood, musk.
Starts with a rather intriguing spicy-aromatic chord. Unfortunately this is marred by a musky-vanilla sweet aspect. At this point, the scent is more than a little old-school in its heft and swagger. Also fairly dense.
The dry-down goes in two directions: either sour and metallic, or else musky-vanilla. Neither of these appeal to me.

Opens green and fresh like newly sliced Cucumbers
and fresh green notes, tart blueberries steeps through
the senses and dries with a grounded aroma of Cardamom
with spicy etchings. The heart dries metallic and woodish note of Orris note and blonde woods.
The drydown is a diluted Velvetness of suede and
ends with musk, This scent is too simplistic for me
to be acerbic which i usually do in reviews but this
does not grab me to give a worthy of a review these are
one of those plain Janes that are under looked and
underrated.

I wish this scent had something more: it is nice, but it never surpasses good. As a female, I didn't feel overpowered by a masculine scent, and I enjoyed that unisex quality. I feel like it would be a nice scent to wear at night, but I wish it had more of an edge or more darkness to it. It is a subtle scent; it doesn't have a ton of sillage. Overall, a nice scent, but not purchase-worthy.
