Ashore

Real Full Review

Ashore — Amouage Ashore makes its intentions very clear from the first spray: flowers, and lots of them. Not the light, airy kind of florals I tend to enjoy, but something much more mature and garden-like. It immediately gives me the impression of walking into a garden full of blooming flowers, and unfortunately, that’s not a pleasant experience for my nose. I imagine this on a mature older woman or someone at church. As it settles, the fragrance doesn’t change enough to win me over. The floral scent remains very prominent, although I eventually notice a little soapiness underneath. I can understand the appeal if you’re someone who loves traditional floral perfumes and enjoys smelling like a bouquet with a clean, soapy finish. But for me, the flowers are simply too overwhelming. This is definitely not my kind of fragrance. I prefer modern, airy, clean scents with soft musk and a fresh, polished quality. I tend to avoid mature, heavy florals, so if your taste is anything like mine, I’d strongly recommend sampling before buying or avoiding.

The most addicting Jasmine

Love this creation! So happy to have found it at a great price!

Beautiful Jasmine Fragrance

I love this on. For me, it goes almost immediately to the heart notes - big, heady jasmine - then settles finally into a woody, and almost marine base. The way this lingers on clothes and in my hair is divine. My only nitpick is that I become anosmic to this one pretty quickly (but know it’s got potent sillage) so it’s not one I can reach for every day. Since Amouage only offers it in a 100 mL bottle (a rather expensive bottle), I’m on the fence about purchasing it full-sized.
