Marriage Love For Women

Marriage Love chases Givenchy's Amarige D'Amour, a softer, more tender flanker in the romantic Amarige family. It opens lightly fruity and green with sweet pea, a touch of spicy cassia and a tart blackcurrant lift. The heart is its romantic centre - powdery white mimosa woven through rose, jasmine and dewy lily of the valley, with a faint rose-hip nuance keeping it fresh, a bouquet that is feminine and a little wistful. The drydown is soft and warm: ambergris and creamy sandalwood lending a powdery, skin-close finish. Where the Givenchy line is known for phenomenal longevity and impressive sillage, this dupe keeps the mimosa-rose story but reads flatter and more synthetic through the flowers and settles closer to the skin sooner. It remains a pretty, romantic floral - soft, powdery and elegant - that wears well in spring and the cooler months, an affordable budget stand-in for the Givenchy.
