Amarige est un parfum diviseur avec une variation significative de la chimie cutanée—certains le trouvent une magnifique fleur crémeuse tandis que d'autres expérimentent une transformation complète en un scent animalique désagréable. Le consensus communautaire est que bien que la formule originale était supérieure, la reformulation moderne est trop criarde et datée, ce qui rend difficile pour la plupart de la porter en dehors de la maison malgré sa projection indéniable et sa longévité.

Nostalgic 90s fragrance with strong presence
