AMORA

Wow! That's all I can say. This was my favorite out of the samples I ordered, and now one of my favorite scents ever.

The Neroli and cotton candy make a sweet, lovely smell and leather keeps it from being too candy like for me. Love it!

I absolutely love everything from this house! I have officially sampled every fragrance and have several travel sizes. This one is a BIG BOTTLE perfume! It's beautiful 😍

Amora is a fragrance that feels like a breathwork ceremony—inhale, exhale, pause, I love you. It’s soft, serene, and emotionally transportive, moving with the rhythm of your breath. The top notes bloom like a whisper: ethereal cotton candy, radiant neroli, and jammy roses slow-dancing with grace. There’s something hypnotic about how they move—gentle but deep, sweet but never cloying. What makes Amora so compelling is how the scent shifts and flows. On the inhale, I get the airy florals and sweet notes; on the exhale, a grounding warmth of caramel leather and creamy sandalwood comes through like a secret. And as the fragrance unfolds, the inhale catches more of the leather and woods too—rich, smooth, and deeply comforting. The entire experience is beautifully meditative, sensual, and unique. The notes don’t just blend—they breathe together. I’ve seen this compared to LDBS, and this is LDBS cooler sister.. who is wearing a leather jacket and a hand dyed lace slip underneath.

I received this sample as a freebie with a purchase, I never would have tried it due to there being rose in it. I abhor rose unless in fresh flower form. SURPRISE, this is delicious, beautiful and to my nose, absent of rose. I get the cotton candy, its a sweet fragrance, balanced by the leather, but it doesn't smell like leather. I bought one of the last full size bottles, I am sad its being retired.

I honestly love all of the scents from MdA. This scent is sweeter than I like to wear, but I honestly expected that with a cotton candy note. I ordered a sample just to try, and found that it smells great, it's just not one I would gravitate toward.

It smells so good from initial spray to the dry down. Cotton candy really stands out without being too sweet or synthetic.

The first time I smelled this I knew I had to get a full bottle! It’s warm and comforting and I can’t stop sniffing my wrist when I wear it.

Unfortunately the sprayer jammed so I can't smell this one🥲

I love this fragrance! It’s just so warm and comforting and delicious. As soon as I smelled the sample I knew I wanted a bottle!
The USPS sent it on a crazy back and forth journey but it eventually arrived in great shape. And customer service at Maison is top shelf!
I can’t recommend this perfumer and perfume enough!

My favorite of what I sampled and one I plan to upgrade! It's a tough cotton candy! The sweet cotton candy is unmistakable, but the leather isn't overpowering and they pair together oddly very well.

Fast shipping, packaged very nicely and fabulous fragrance!

I was a bit apprehensive in ordering my sample, because leather is not a note that usually agrees with my nose or skin. However, Amora is gentle and sweet enough that this could be a good "gateway" leather fragrance for someone like me who leans more towards softer, sweeter scent profiles. I will still need to test this one out more, because the leather is taking some getting used to, but the neroli and cotton candy definitely help make this more appealing to me. It's sunny, sweet, and has just enough edge to make me tilt my head in curiosity. Amora is a fun, floral, sugared leather that doesn't go full-on smoky, animallic, or sexy as so many other leather scents tend to do.

This scent arrived as a tester and when reading its scent profile, it was the wild card for me as I tend to lean towards woodsy, smokey, and amber scents, but I was curious.

Well, this one I now have a travel-sized bottle in AND a full size bottle! I literally kept sniffing my clothes throughout the day and could not get enough. Blew through the tester quickly!

This one has a decadently sweet smell, that dries down into a lovely intoxicating floral, but without being overpowering. I have literally had friends hug me and say, “oh my god, you smell incredible! I want to eat you!” Hahaha I take that as a compliment. I LOVE this scent. Mature, playful, sexy, and feminine.

I bought a Maison Des Animaux Discovery Set and it is phenomenal! I have to say it’s one of the very best sets I have ever bought. Every scent is so unique, highly rated and full bottle worthy, I just have to share!

Here’s a quickie recap:

AMORA - it’s a sweet floral gourmand warmed by sandalwood - I can’t detect much leather, very lovely. 4.67 rating on Fragrantica.

I didnt want to like this. I tend to avoid jammy sweet anything. Boy was i glad i did try it. Its sweet but in adult way. Its lingers for hours, if it gets on my clothes it surrounds me witha faint whiff of happy upbeat scent. Look i am a novice to perfume but this one brings a smile to my face . I keep reaching forward it

I am in love with everything I’ve sampled from this house so far, but Amora is a standout! It’s gorgeous, girly and sexy, and it lasts forever on my skin!

Packaged well and arrived quite quickly in comparison to other sellers. Scents are great. Also received an extra sample which was quite welcome.

The sweetness gives me all the nostalgia with the sweet scents I adored in my teens and early 20s, but the leather and brightness bring this up a notch to sweet girl grown up! It’s playful with a slight edge. This had the most staying power of the trial scents too!

Orangle Blossom and Marshmallow vibes that wont allow for any shyness 🧡👌🤩 Powdery Pillows of musky orange blossoms and neroli dance with hints of roses . This is a floral lovers dream. great projection and longevity! LOVE MDA

I am obsessed with this brand! Everything I have sampled is phenomenal. I own over 300 fragrances and this brand is a STANDOUT! I’ve bought samples, and they send samples with my full sized purchases and I will definitely be buying more! Amora is so beautiful. Get some!

I got this as a sample, and am slowly testing all the scents in search of my signature, and for the fun of trying something new. This was one I wasn't expecting to enjoy. I'm not generally into sweet perfumes, so cotton candy notes made me pretty sure this wouldnt be my cup of tea. However... this is interesting and lovely in it's own way. I like it more than I expected. Its surprising. It is sweet, but the deeper richer notes of sandlewood and leather help hold it down so its not sickening and it doesnt fill a room, it's closer to the skin which I like. Just enough to stir up if you move close by but does still have an intoxicating quality. When I am testing, I like to forget all the notes in the perfume and see if I can guess what is in them for fun. Often I am wildly off but, it's a fun game. My first impression upon spraying it was was, "Oh God what is that? Wait it's... familiar? And kind of delicious?" Sweet, deep and something sharp. I thought maybe ripe figs or dates. Those sweet jammy notes, and the Neroli is likely the slightly sharp smell I was picking up. For just a moment when it first sprayed it I was reminded of being 16, wearing bath and body works Dark Kiss, but then this perfume blooms... It feels grown up, a little more subtle but still unapologetically rich and sweet and undeniably femme. I don't think this will be for everyone, and I'm not sure if I'll be getting a full bottle yet, but I am pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy it and it's definitely higher on my list and I expected.

It's pretty intensely sweet in the opening, and then it dries to a lovely level of sweetness with just a hint of that leather in the background to keep it from being sickly sweet. It doesn't project a lot, which is good in my book. I really like it.

I didn’t smell any other notes but cotton candy. Smelled overly sweet, very cheap.. smells just like the Body Fantasy perfume you can get for $3 at Walmart.

My search for a fluffy neroli ends here with Amora! After falling in love with Memo Sintra, then shifting my entire collection towards non-toxic perfumes and finding Dossier Floral Marshmallow extremely unapplealing, this perfume feels like a sweet place to land. I can't wait for cool weather to see how this one performs.

Amora wasn't one I was interested in due to the leather note, but is actually my favorite, next to cloudbreath. While the leather is there, its in the background and drenched in sweetness. This is one I would purchase full size.

Always amazing scents!

Very nice!
