Amor Amor was released in 2003, composed for Cacharel by Dominique Ropion and Laurent Bruyère, both then at IFF. A fruity floral whose citrus and blackcurrant opening makes it immediately mouthwatering, followed by a discreet rose and a vanilla base where amber and sandalwood surface. Its red bottle with a metal stem made it a lasting Valentine's Day gift, and critics, initially reluctant, came to acknowledge its genuine structural staying power.
Retailers describe a red glass bottle shaped like a small pomegranate, with a metal spiral in the shape of a rose stem and an engraved thorny rose.
The bottle presents itself in bright red glass, with a metal wire coiled around the spray nozzle, described as a rose stem; the silhouette of a long-stemmed rose appears on the glass, one description placing it in the background of the bottle. Retailer descriptions agree on these elements, the wire being described alternately as metallic or silver.
The eau de toilette is listed in three sizes: 30, 50 and 100 ml.
A commercial text repeated at points of sale presents the bottle as an emblematic pomegranate and compares it to a love potion bottle, without this version being confirmed by the house. A comparative design analysis, for its part, judges this red bottle static and “statutory,” contrasts it with the freer bottle of Catch Me, another Cacharel fragrance, and visually links the engraved rose to the one on the packaging of Black XS by Paco Rabanne.
