About

This perfume is the winner of 2 awards: FiFi Award Fragrance Of The Year Women`s Nouveau Niche 2007 and FiFi Award Best Packaging Women`s Luxe 2007.Kenzo Amour is gentle, sensual and joyful fragrance, a romantic and aromatic journey to Asia. The perfume starts with soft and attractive aroma of Frangipani blossom which possess a very fine almond-like aroma. The smell of these flowers fascinated one of the two creators of this perfume, Daphne Bugey, during her visit to Indonesia. Of course, the Far East can not be imagined without Japanese cherry blossom.From Japan we travel to China. The heart features very comfortable and soft aroma of Chinese white tea. The composition continues with thin milky aroma of Thailand rice, and to the gorgeous base which includes woodsy, balsamic, and musky notes, and vanilla. Mysterious incense diffuses on skin in all its nuances: nice wooden note and bitterly ranis interlace with soft and powdery note of Burman Tanaka wood with aroma reminiscent of sandalwood and amber. The composition ends with sweet and soft vanilla, clearly distinguished in the base.Kenzo Amour was created by Daphne Bugey and Olivier Cresp in 2005.The bottles design is worth mentioning as well. Three bottles, three colors, the same scent. The 30ml (1 fl.oz.) bottle is in fuchsia color, the 50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) is white and the 100ml (3.4 fl.oz.) bottle is colored orange. As imagined by the designer, those colors are romantic colors of Asia. The colorful Kenzo bird on the outer box symbolizes passionate love and freedom of traveling.

About
Siwa by Memo Paris is a Oriental fragrance for women. Siwa was launched in 2007. The nose behind this fragrance is Alienor Massenet. Top notes are Narcissus, Freesia and Cinnamon Leaf; middle notes are Heliotrope, Sandalwood and Incense; base notes are Musk, Vanilla and Benzoin. The sweetness of love, under the burning sun of the world’s largest sand desert, a touch of vanilla slips into the comforting embrace of a cereal. In the distant oasis of Siwa, anyone can consult the oracles, just as Alexander the Great and Cleopatra once did, to discover what their destiny holds and make it come true. Cries rise up to the heavens like incantations and Siwa attracts the night.The Oasis of Siwa, luxuriant exception in the harsh, arid desert. Vanilla absolute. A stretch of green lost in an endless sea of sand. Oil of cinnamon leaf. Narrow ochre and yellow-hued streets, clay lace vestiges, houses with brightly coloured doors. Narcissus absolute. The radiant greens of olive trees and palm leaves, the browns and violets of sun-dried dates. Oil of incense. Siwa, a mirage, a bottomless well of desired visions.
