I’m so glad you like it! Now I’m hankering to wear it again, too. It’s just starting to feel like spring out. Perhaps I’ll get out that bottle…

thank you!

Hello, everyone! I just received a sample of Amaranthine yesterday and OMG!!! I thought I was going to like it, based on the notes listed… I do not just like it… I ADORE it! I love it! Let me just say that all my respect goes to the House of Penhaligon’s/ Dont You sometimes have the feeling, that all of our niche houses, just dont suprise/shock us anymore? I will be honest, Amaranthine suprised me so much, that I am just so excited even writing this! It starts with that green tea note and some flowers on me. I definitely smell some banana/banana leaf in it. But I love anything banana! (hello CsP Vanille Banane). The flowers smell, I would say, more exotic than tropical. I am kind of tired of typical, tropical fragrances with an overdose on tuberose and monoi oil. Not to mention how much I love the creamy note in it – it’s almost sour, heavy, creamy note of condensed milk. It just smells so unconventional on me. This is just so gorgeous I have no words to actually describe it!!! But if You’re tired of all the releases this year, please try this. I guarantee You, there is something about this fragrance that just smells different” and “weird” in it’s own, beautiful way. I read somewhere on the internet. that “amaranth” also refers to a “corrupted flower”. I think this is the most accurate description of amaranthine… it’s sweet but very different, and corrupted…

That’s disgusting! Are you sure you didn’t accidentally read about it in The Onion? When I go to a hotel, the last thing I want to know is that a stranger was recently in my bed, no matter what his/her perfume!

On that “slept in” note – did you all hear about the Holiday Inn decision to offer a “human bed-warmer service?” They say the bed-warmers will wear head covers, etc. BO and other factors aside, what if the bedwarmer had been wearing a scrubber?

So you smelled that smokiness, too! Good, I’m glad I wasn’t imagining it. I bet Amaranthine will be around for a while, and it seems like a summer scent, anyway.

Oh, this is mean, I cannot afford it right now. I surely remember that I loved the incense (and tehre is not any?!) and the vanilla mix in the base.
Well, probably it has to wait another half a year.

Thanks so much! I’m almost as excited for the fragrance as I am for Oxford.

You crack me up, Angela! I can see a lot I’d have to do a lot more research than I had thought to get ready for a poll on this scenario!
