Amarige D'Amour EDT

Which Should You Buy?
Quartz is a divisive classic, a love-it-or-hate-it green chypre that's either 'heaven in a bottle' or 'bugspray'. It's a proper grown-up scent, confident and complex, not for the faint of heart or those who prefer modern gourmands.
This flanker shares zero DNA with the original Amarige, so don't be fooled by the name. It's a divisive scent, some find it a gorgeous, clean scent reminiscent of fresh sweet peas, while others recoil from its sharp, sour opening. You'll either love it or hate it, so sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and autumn.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and clean, fresh character make it ideal for office and casual wear, as noted by several reviewers. It's a bit too 'serious' and potentially polarising for formal events, and definitely not suited for sport due to its lack of typical 'sporty' notes.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and 'light and airy' character make it suitable for office wear and casual outings without being overpowering. The overall clean, floral nature lends itself well to daytime use, but isn't quite bold or formal enough for grand events.
