Jeu d’Amour by Kenzo

Be careful with this fragrance. The initial scent is delicious, fresh, and sweet with mandarin, blackcurrant, and tea—amazing! I bought it on the spot the moment I smelled it, and what a mistake. After 10 minutes, that wonderful main scent disappears, leaving only neroli, neroli, and more neroli, with freesia appearing occasionally. The fragrance doesn’t smell bad, but I don’t consider myself a neroli lover (for me, it’s a note you either love or hate); it overwhelms me and gives me a headache, and for some reason, I associate it with older people (no offense, my olfactory memory works that way). In this perfume, the neroli scent is constant, so if you’re not a neroli lover, test it before buying. I love the advertising campaign, but it doesn’t seem to match the perfume; it doesn’t seem seductive or carnal, but rather a fresh floral scent perfect for summer and spring, for daily use to go to university or work. Perhaps its sister, Jeau d’Amor L’Elixir, has more of that sexy and sensual connotation; I’ve already noted it down to try it.

The saleswoman sprayed it on me for the sandalwood and GOD, I LOVE IT. It smells like the honeysuckle vine in my grandmother’s house. The opening is citrusy and green, but as it settles, it’s mostly creamy neroli with a slight sweetness. The scent is warm and creamy, it’s a winter scent, nothing fresh. Great for all day and young adults, very feminine. The trail is EXCELLENT and lasts 9 hours; the neroli stays pure. I love it. Now I want to try the EDT because the EDP seems too intense. It’s elegant and complex, NOTHING ARTIFICIAL. Edit: I bought the commercial version and it’s less creamy, with weak projection and poor longevity. I’m heartbroken because it was love at first sniff, I guess the tester was concentrated. Total disappointment now, it lasts less than 2 hours, same as the EDT.

I was buying another perfume when the salesperson, who intuitively knew what I was interested in, made me try this… And I fell in love. Unlike the previous comments, I am indeed a neroli lover. I’ve never encountered a neroli before, but I notice that all the fragrances that fascinate me carry that note. What stands out is the fixation; I could still smell it intact after washing my hands with plenty of soap. I’ve already added it to my wishlist. The only thing I don’t like is the box, though it sounds ridiculous. Having a neck ending in painted lips sitting on top of the dresser doesn’t attract me at all; it seems to ruin the overall design’s good taste.

Well… for my nose, the fruity notes really stood out, although unfortunately I didn’t detect pomegranate or tangerine as the pyramid says, but rather a fruit cocktail turning into an acidic mango with a hint of freesia-vanilla syrup. Ummmmm… I found it pleasant and very cheerful; feminine… coquettish? playful? ummmm, yes… but the thing is, as soon as I applied Coco Noir by Chanel, I forgot about this fragrance in a heartbeat. As they say, comparisons are odious… By the way, on my skin, it didn’t last very long either.

One of my favorite Kenzos ❤. It’s a well-balanced floral-fruity: neroli, pomegranate, orange, and sandalwood. Maybe I’m crazy, but it smells like banana even though it’s not listed. Kenzo says it’s a seduction weapon, but for me, it’s more romantic and dreamy, a beautiful, tender love… though it sounds cheesy, lol. To seduce better, use its brother L’Elixir. I wear it in spring and some autumn days. It’s sweet and creamy, projection is weak so you have to apply it generously, but it lasts 10 hours if you do.

I got this as a Mother’s Day gift for my mom. We’d met before through a sample and instantly fell in love with it. To me, it’s sensual, youthful, and elegant all at once. It suits my mom’s skin perfectly; the trail she leaves is like an exquisite aura. When she wears it, she looks like she’s ‘dressed to kill’… haha! At least that’s how she feels around people. I love it! And, as she told me, it doesn’t leave men indifferent.

Yesterday I tested this mischievous ‘love game’ with high hopes. The scent is intoxicating: the fruits bring an almost nocturnal, erotic joy at the start. Then come the neroli and musk, adding a touch of melancholy; the balance is good. My only gripe: the longevity is precarious, fading until it leaves a citrus trail. I expected something hotter after seeing such suggestive ads, but I’ll buy it anyway.

I love it! It’s one of my favorites. Every time I wear it, I have to keep smelling my wrists because it’s so addictive. It’s creamy, embracing, and has a trail that’s noticeable but not heavy, which I adore. With Jeu D’Amour, I finally feel the perfume I’m supposed to wear, something that doesn’t happen with others. Totally recommended, and I’d buy it again without a doubt.

My new favorite perfume. It’s sweet without being cloying. Seductive and elegant all at once. Very long-lasting on my skin; I can still detect the base notes for over 12 hours, especially the sandalwood, which I adore. It feels very personal and sophisticated. It’s pleasant for everyone around me; it always gets a reaction when I wear it. A true gem from Kenzo.

This fragrance is my lucky charm: every time I wore it for an exam, I did well. On my skin it lasts moderately, but if I spray it on my hair, it lasts over 24 hours. My mother says it lasts even longer on her. From the start, I notice the flowers, especially freesia. It’s exquisite, super fresh, and very feminine, without being cloying or gross.

Very feminine, sexy, and sweet without being cloying, with fruity notes and a touch of sparkle. I love wearing it from spring, both day and night. The trail is amazing, and the longevity, like all Kenzos, is excellent. I recommend it 100%; it’s one of the perfumes I like most in my entire collection.

I started looking for Kenzo Amour after leaving Jeu d’Amour, but this smells like something else. At first, it didn’t hit me, but now I’m hooked. I’d define it as sophisticated and natural, unpretentious yet classy. It’s really provocative!

(Redwolf) It happened to me too; neroli isn’t my thing, even though I adore floral perfumes. You’re going to love J’eu d’Amor; it’s very intense and sexy; I was about to buy it.

Neroli, neroli, and more neroli. I’m not a fan of white flowers, so no. I didn’t like it at all. If you love neroli, this is your perfume.
