| Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions. |

| I love the original Amarige....however, when I attempt to wear this, I suffer - bigtime...with a pounding headache. Something in this and I just do not get along. Well, thats changed b/c there's a new version in town! Givenchy has launched a new 2005 Harvest collection -- they have remade three of their key fragrances, one being Amarige. Here is a blurb I found on basenotes.com about it: "The first scent to be remixed was Amarige. Originally created in 1991, the juice has recently been reworked to showcase the mimosa harvested this year in Grasse, France. The original scent's juice comprises top notes of mandarin leaf and orange blossom, followed by mimosa, jasmine, ylang-ylang and gardenia notes. The 2005 version features the "green sensation" of the 2005 mimosa harvest in its top notes along with tender orange blossom notes. Heart notes highlight the mimosa absolute's "rich and generous" quality. The base notes of the juice accentuate mimosa's powdery aspects. Mimosa makes up about 25 percent of the new formula, compared with about 10 percent in the original" . I'm here to report for those of you who are like me and the original is just "much too much" even spraying lightly, this is the way to go. This is a much more tolerable formula with none of that loud smack that the original provides. It is however a limited edition, so be sure to try it out soon, if interested. |
