    What do reviewers say about Ode à l'amour and Love Notes?

    Choosing Ode à l'amour means wrapping yourself in sweet mirabelle plum, bright blackcurrant, and warm romantic ylang-ylang. It's the 2001 French edit of what love smells like.Ode à l'amour
    Not trying to be anything other than what it is. A fruity-floral that smells expensive without the attitude. Some fragrances demand you wear them. This one just wants to be worn again tomorrow.Love Notes
