Sweet and flirtatious
I don't know the original Ode a L'Amour, but I've admittedly come to love its Valentine's Day, special edition flanker. Ode a L'Amour Passionnement may smell a little generic at first, like many sweet, fruity scents that came before it, yet I appreciate the way it smells on my skin, enough to disregard any similarities to the likes of Cacharel Amor Amor or Britney Spears Fantasy.
The fruits are more than pleasant in this fragrance. The plum is juicy, rich and vanillary, while the green apple note is crisp and refreshing. Smooth sichuan pepper adds a spicy dimension to this composition, preventing the apple and plum accords from becoming anything too sharp or nauseating.
The composition is perhaps a little synthetic to a trained nose, but I am not at all perturbed. I quite like the way it smells, and I certainly cannot complain when it settles on my skin. The vanilla when added to this fragrance, does it a great deal of justice. It makes Ode a L'Amour Passionnement smell frivolous and fun.
Many reviews have likened this fragrance to Britney Spears Fantasy. I find them slightly similar in the heart, but I definitely don't consider them replicates. This fragrance is definitely not a gourmand, nor as sugary sweet as Fantasy. I am far more inclined to say that Ode a L'Amour Passionnement reminds me of Cacharel Amor Amor.
The sillage is moderate with a pleasing amount of projection, and surprisingly the longevity is good too. It will perhaps appeal more to the younger consumers, yet I find it mature enough to be enjoyed by all ages, provided that they like sweet, fruity scents. I am quite impressed so far with what Yves Rocher has on offer. They make some fantastic inexpensive scents that are really worth testing.
