Almond perfume suggestions

[musicmum75]

Can anyone recommend any nice almond-y perfumes please? I have fallen in love with Tardes by Carner which is rose and almond and am wondering what else is out there.

I usually prefer niche perfume brands but I'm off on holiday so something I can get from the Duty Free would be good.

Any suggestions anyone?

Dior hypnotic poison is almondy.

Mandorlo di Sicilia from Acqua di Parma's Blu Mediterraneo range. It's almond, orange, vanilla, coffee and a little white musk. It's a beauty, my absolute favourite almond.

Like WhoThe said, Dior Hypnotic Poison is another good one (it's rounder with a play-doh note to it).

Guerlain Champs-Elysees and Yves Saint Laurent Cinema are lighter on the almond but very nice.

Laura mercier almond and coconut is nice

Elie Saab l'eau couture has green almond notes. It's gorgeous.

Serge Lutens Louve

Thanks everyone. I'm going to check out all of those.

Kenzo 'Amour' is very almondy - I love it. Buy the parfum rather than the EDT though as it is worth the extra money, as the scent lasts on the skin so much longer.

I second Ellie Saab its lush I bought it after reading this thread

Watching with interest

Thanks for the extra recommendations. The only one I have been able to sample so far is the Elie Saab one. It is indeed lovely. I may need to buy a bottle!

It is isn't it I can't stop sniffing it

Did you buy anything music?

After this thread, I tried a tester of Kenzo Amour in Boots and loved it. I could still smell it on the tester strip three days later, and it lasted a long time on my skin too. I'm going to save up for it, the Boots staff member said it's usually on offer.

I ordered a small sample/decant of the Ellie Saab from EBay and didn't like it, given the replies here I'm wondering if it was a dodgy sample. It was very faint, I could hardly smell it, and it didn't smell as "warm" as the Kenzo. Maybe it had been stored incorrectly.

I would just love a perfume that smelt of marzipan, basically

Chantecaille Frangipane is very almondy.

Seconding the Aqua di Parma Mandorlo, it's yummy. L'Artisan Parfumeur Jour de Fete is also almond-y (it actually smells quite like cake, and yet I like it, which is weird as I am not normally a fan of food-y scents).

Burberry Brit

Thank you for the Jour de Fete recommendation :-) I managed to find a bottle in eBay! It's lovely!

Aveeno 's moisturising creamy oil is very Almondy and a good base for perfumes as its made with Almond oil.

Pinkissimo if you want a perfume that smells of marzipan you have to sample Caron Farnesiana. It's like sitting in a Roman cafe with a vase of mimosa on the table eating a slice of battenburg cake. One of my all-time favourites.

You bought a lovely one but just two more -
What We Do in Paris Is Secret from A Lab on Fire
Luctor et Emergo, People of the Labyrinth

And Niminypiminy's description of Farnesiana is totally accurate.

oh! so many lovely ideas to try!! Thank you all :-)

Niminy I'm so sorry to ignore you, this dropped off TIO! That perfume looks wonderful, a lot little out of my price range but I will try and lay my hands on a sample!

The reviews have reminded me that as a teenager, I used to wear vanilla essence on my skin as perfume
