If you follow fragrance, you've no doubt caught the (now old) news that Serge Lutens has removed Douce Amere from the export line. It's a lovely little scent -- gadzooks, did I just say "little" in relation to Lutens?? -- if you like lightly sweetened milk.
(Robin over at NST got a bit more out of it...her review is here.)
Honestly, though, I'm not shedding any tears. I can get Kenzo Amour more easily, and less expensively. It, too, is a very kind sweet milky something; again, someone else finds it somewhat more complex than the tasty rice pudding I get. (This time, that someone is Victoria over at Bois de Jasmin.)
I'd like to think that whenever vanilla enters the game, certain of my olfactory receptors dedicate themselves to that input only. And NOT that I am not as discerning.
I am practicing full disclosure, nonetheless.
Travel sizes of Serge Lutens Douce Amere and Kenzo Amour both from my own collection.
Hey! Have you let me know if you are interested in a shot at the vintage LOTV pair of samples yet? Scroll down to the Lily of the Valley post...you have until end of day today.
