    Count me in the can't-stand camp. This one was bad on me. I wanted to like this so much more, but the lilied vanilla and woody cinnamon combination was cloying and sticky on me. It almost smelled...

    Another really unusual fragrance from Serge Lutens, I did not expect to like this one but I really really loved it, I could not stop smelling my wrist and was gutted when my tester ran out...

    Notes: pollen, cinnamon, Tiara blossom, jasmine, lily and vanilla. This fragrance opens with an unusual accord of sweet, spicy and floral notes. At first I think I see chocolate, but it is all...

    I just purchased my third bottle of Douce Amere from LuckyScent. I own and love other scents but this is the one to which I'm most true. This is the one that prompts men (and women) to say, "Oh,...

    What do you get when you combine honey, vanilla and icing with a dash of cinnamon? It's definitely not an unpleasant smell, but I can't imagine spraying this on myself.

    okay 2nd review for review week!! So this is my choice...I LIKE DA--I cannot call it a great love....it is too gentle and soft for that. It turns into a beautiful skin scent on me - a very gentle...

    This is a great cosy scent. It starts with a tard note that soon mellows down to a sweeter yet sharp oriental fragrance. I get licorice, anise, wood and absinthe. And a milky finishing touch I...

    I once had a licorice fragrance and they discon't it. I have not been able to find any of it since anywhere. Well, I received a sample of this and this fit the missing bill. It is a nice smooth...

    I am not a "nose", so I can't tell notes. This smells a bit chocolatey to me. I didn't see anyone else say that. I bought a bottle because I wanted to find a SL fragrance I liked and this, alas...

    Absolutely wonderful. I tried it because the reviews here mentioned its similarity to Lolita Lempicka. It first smells like an unpleasant, plasticky type of licorice, but in a few minutes that...

    I was so excited to get this in a sample. Then, with great anticipation, I tried it, and was underwhelmed. It wasn't a scrubber, but like the reviewer below says, it's an uncomfortable fragrance....

    I wanted to give this a 3.9 out of 5 but I guess I will round up to a 4.0. I would describe Douce Amere by Serge Lutens as a 'confectionary' scent. Despite the light floral hints (jasmine,...

    I really don't like this, and I can't tell you why. I am not familiar with the notes in the way this fragrance is coming off my wrist. 2nd try: smells like straight up licorice this time.

    I tried this on one arm and Vetiver Oriental on the other. I think they smell somewhat similar, but I like the VO better. I'm not a big fan of jasmine/white florals in general, and so Douce Amere...

    Interesting - this one begins with a somewhat tart note, perhaps the absinthe. This quickly diminishes to a somewhat sweet, almost powdery, almond and anice drydown with a somewhat bread-like note....
