Amor Amor Absolu
by Cacharel
Amor Amor Absolu is a sweet, gourmand fragrance with a prominent fruity opening of black currant and pineapple, balanced by warm vanilla, praline, and sandalwood. It evolves into a soft, smooth, and slightly marzipan-like base, with subtle woody and lactonic undertones. The scent is perceived as more intense and concentrated than the original Amor Amor, offering a richer, deeper profile that leans toward winter and evening wear. Many users describe it as a more mature, polished version — slightly heavier and more sensual — with moderate to strong sillage and decent longevity. The overall impression is that of a sweet, feminine, and slightly synthetic gourmand, with a pronounced praline and vanilla core. It has a lush, enveloping quality that some associate with a luxurious dessert or a sugary-woody cream, while others find the synthetic nature and strong fruit-layer overwhelming.
Pros
- +Strong gourmand character with rich vanilla and praline notes makes it ideal for lovers of sweet, dessert-like fragrances.
- +More focused and intense than the original Amor Amor, making it a better fit for colder seasons and evening wear.
- +Some users rate it as having better longevity and sillage compared to the original, especially in warmer conditions.
Cons
- −Perceived as synthetic or cheap by some, with notes described as resembling soap, plastic, or even cat urine.
- −The fruit-forward top notes (especially black currant) can dominate and become unpleasant on some skin types.
- −Not universally well-received — some find the scent overly sweet, sour, or unbalanced, particularly in warm weather.
