Amore

Scent Breakdown

Amore by Dubai Essences immediately shouts "Cacharel Amor Amor Love Festival!" It’s a playful, sugary scent bomb. The Coca-Cola note in the opening is surprisingly prominent, layered with a juicy grapefruit and a hint of blackcurrant (cassis). It's not a super realistic Coca-Cola, mind you, more like a Coca-Cola gummy. The heart brings in a sweet, slightly powdery floral mix - rose, jasmine and Lily-of-the-Valley. As it dries down, you get vanilla and musk, with a touch of cedar that helps to ground it a bit. This clone gets you 80-89% of the way to the original. It lacks a bit of the original's nuanced floral complexity, replacing it with a more synthetic sweetness.

Wear time & Sillage

This stuff actually performs pretty well . Expect around 5-6 hours of wear time. Projection is moderate for the first hour or two, then it sits closer to the skin. It’s not a room filler but definitely noticeable. It’s perfect for casual daytime wear, maybe a brunch date or a shopping trip. Teenage girls would love this. This clone does the job nicely and won’t break the bank.
