Liz Claiborne לעומת Amarige

Liz Claiborne is remembered fondly by the r/fragrance community as an iconic fragrance from the 80s/90s that many wore as their first 'real' perfume. While the original formulation was beloved and distinctive, modern versions suffer from weak longevity and projection, though the affordable price makes it worth exploring for those seeking nostalgia or casual everyday wear.

Amarige is a divisive fragrance with significant skin chemistry variation—some find it a gorgeous creamy floral while others experience a complete transformation into an unpleasant animalic scent. The community consensus is that while the original formula was superior, the modern reformulation is overly loud and dated, making it difficult for most to wear outside the home despite its undeniable projection and longevity.
