Great and detailed overview 👌 I own Love Tuberose and Lilac Love 🥰 and have 16 scents in my discovery set and as minis 🤗 Sadely I don't get the hype with Sunshine, but I only have tested it twice in store on paper and it only smelled like hay and spices or herbs with a bit of sweetness 🙈 maybe I should test it on skin and wait for the drydown 🤔😅
Hello Lily, I was excited to see your video about your Amouage fragrances. I was interested to hear your experience with Lyric because I didn't get the makeup quality in the dry down with my sample. I found it to be a woody, amber, incense. I wonder if the formula has changed? It lasted all day on my skin, but there a number of reviews online calling it fleeting and soapy which is not at all what it was like for me. When I sampled Sunshine, I liked it until the dry down because my skin seems to amplify the craven tobacco note and it smells like second hand cigarette smoke on me. I likely need another sample to see if I still get that from it. That cigarette smoke note has been my obstacle to purchasing it. I like cigar tobacco leaf in fragrances like Tom Ford but not the cigarette type of 'white tobacco'. I haven't sampled portrait yet. I love indolic Jasmine and vanilla, but the thing I wonder about it, is if the tobacco note is similar to the one in Sunshine? If so, I might find it off putting. If it's more like a cigar tobacco, then it could be okay. Honour sounds lovely, if tuberose is a note that people enjoy. I do have some fragrances with tuberose and my like of it is really fragrance to fragrance. I hope to have a sample of Honour coming soon. I would love to sample Memoir and Epic. I would be unsure about Journey because of the type of tobacco. I do like honey, fruit and spice though, so it could be one to sample and see if it could work for me. Thanks for your video! - Jenn
Hi Jenn 🤗! Sunshine smells very sweet apricot pie in the dry down on me. In the beginning I smell the Tabacco leaf, that spiciness, but only in the beginning. Not disturbing to me the Tabacco. Wish it lasted longer this spicy phase 😔 I have to admit that, to me, Naxos remains the best tabacco perfume I have in my collection ❤️ And yes, I think we prefer the same type of tabacco, as the one in Tabacco Vanille or Naxos.
Lyric I have to try some more. The girl that sold me the decant had the bottle with the old cap (red beads). It doesn't have great performance, but it is a decant... So maybe if I spray like 3 sprays on the same spot it will give me a more accurate experience. Anyway, this version is spicy powdery (almost makeup like) on me. Ginger, incense, rose, Sandalwood and ylang ylang is what ai smell. In the deep dry down it turns not so much soapy but more aftershave like. Is your decant from the new type of bottle with grey cap?

Thank you, Heidi 🤗😘! On skin is always better to test, but let's face it: we are trying usually too many perfumes to put them all on skin 😅

In Portrayal I smell more the vanilla with jasmine combo, on a resinous base. I can't say I smell a distinct tabacco note, more like a spiciness...
Come back
Memoir reminds me of dior addict.
I need to retest Dior Addict ❤️
