Our Verdict

Amarige by Givenchy and Susan by ALREHAB PERFUMES both capture the essence of bold, vintage florals, but they cater to different audiences. Amarige is a mid-tier investment with a classic French flair, perfect for those who appreciate a sophisticated, confident scent with a touch of elegance. On the other hand, Susan offers an affordable alternative with similar floral intensity, making it ideal for budget-conscious fragrance lovers. The key difference lies in their concentration and price tier - Amarige is an eau de toilette with a refined finish, while Susan is a more potent, budget-friendly option that may feel overpowering to some. Choose based on your preference for luxury or thrift, and how much floral intensity you can handle.

Our Verdict - Susan
A powerhouse floral that's either a budget-friendly delight or an overpowering blast from the past. Widely considered an excellent dupe for Givenchy's Amarige, its impressive longevity and projection come with a caveat: a heavy hand will leave you swimming in a sea of 80s/90s floral intensity.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amarige

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Amarige's opulent bouquet of white and yellow florals shines in cool spring and autumn air, where its richness and projection can be fully appreciated. Its warmth and sillage can become overwhelming in high heat, but it remains inviting and plush in winter and transitional seasons.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This is a powerhouse floral best suited to formal events or confident evening wear, where its presence can truly command a room. Its strength and vintage character can be too much for office or casual daytime settings and is wholly unsuitable for sporty or active occasions.

Susan

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and substantial longevity, Susan is not ideal for the office where it could be overwhelming. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its elegant floral character, but its intensity means it's best applied lightly for more casual settings. It's much too heavy for sport.
