Amarige ist ein umstrittenes Parfum mit erheblichen Unterschieden in der Hautchemie – manche empfinden es als wunderschöne cremige Blüte, während andere eine vollständige Umwandlung in einen unangenehmen animalischen Duft erleben. Der Konsens der Community ist, dass die ursprüngliche Formel zwar überlegen war, die moderne Reformulierung jedoch übertrieben laut und veraltet wirkt, was es trotz ihrer unbestreitbaren Sillage und Haltbarkeit für die meisten schwierig macht, sie außerhalb des Hauses zu tragen.
