Kenzo Amour Indian Holi Kenzo for women

Subtle, steamy, cherry.

A scent that evokes a feeling of warmth and safety. Vanilla rice pudding, powdery frangipani, and smooth sandalwood. Sweet, soft, floral and clean. Very comforting and joyful. An instant love from me.

Gorgeous fragrance. This is your regular Amour with extra fruity (berries) and fresh floral notes. Pink pepper and a fluffy white musk gives more omph to the scent.
The base is the same warm, cozy rice/vanilla combo. This version is more suitable for warm weather. Beautiful, feminine. It is a shame it was discontinued.

I really miss this fragrance. It is such a cozy, comforting scent that was really luxurious at the same time.

I find this version to be almost sickeningly sweet. It has a very warm undertone from spices, which enhances the sweetness from vanilla, berries and cherry blossom. Not a huge fan.

I miss this baby.

The limited editions of Kenzo have always brought us fragrance wonders and this Indian Holi flanker by Amour is no exception.
This perfume inspired by the spring festivities celebrated in India and Nepal full of color, brings us an enhanced version of Amour here the floral notes are the absolute protagonists, enhancing much more the note of cherry blossom and the characteristic frangipani (flower present in the entire line) together with the vanilla here not so creamy but rather warm accompanied by the notes of incense and sandalwood, the opening of this flanker is much powerful and projects very well for an hour or two which undoubtedly was an improvement compared to the original, but unfortunately it loses that creamy note of rice pudding that I love from the original, here after the first hour and a half the fragrance calms down little by little and I find that delicious rice-vanilla DNA which is not It feels so creamy and powdery because it is not accompanied by the note of tea, but is seasoned with red berries and pink pepper which gives this composition much more warmth and joy.
Although I prefer the original Amour, it improved a lot in terms of projection and duration, giving us a very good and appropriate performance for most of the year with the exception of extremely hot days.

My dad had bought this perfume for me when I was 13. Sadly I would abuse this scent and spray it like a body mist, I really did not have any idea what I had in my possession. This scent made me feel pretty and mysterious. I would love to own another bottle to treasure it for the memories and of course the scent. I also still have the beautiful book it came with and sometimes I feel like I can smell the fragrance as I flip through the pages.

The cherry blossom and berries are a bit aggressive at the beginning, but soon other notes pick up (mainly rice, pepper, and incense) and make it more balanced. The scent is quite linear, though I enjoy the late dry-down, where the "red" aspect is toned down, and the rice & vanilla dominate the composition.
It's a very feminine scent, with a soft projection but lasting durability, and it's suitable for most occasions. I can't compare it to the normal Amour, though, as I haven't tested it yet, but this is certainly for someone demure who wants just a bit of spice.

6/10

I tried but it's my least fave of the flankers. More fruity. Prefer to stick to the original.

It pains me that this was a limited edition. I’ve had this bottle for years now and I don’t wear it often out of fear of never finding it again. Silliness, I know... it’s just that good.

From the moment I sprayed this gem I was amused. At first it seemed too much. Within 20 minutes it was playful. I get the most compliments when I wear this or my all time love Dior's Dune. Sadly I am down to the last bit of this gem. Donations anyone ? ;)

This is such a beautiful scent. I love it. So comforting, yet fresh. I mainly get rice steam and soft florals against a cuddly vanilla backdrop. The vanilla leans powdery-clean and creamy, rather than sticky-sweet. If only it were more easily available. It's unique and sensual without being imposing, and makes for a perfect signature or day to day scent. It also lasts a good amount of time on me (7 hours) and has a moderate but gentle projection. I can wear this one all year round, but it's especially lovely in spring and fall. I don't care much for original Amour, but I love this one, and I also adore Amour le parfum, that one is better suited for cold months.

I am fond of the original Kenzo Amour and even more so of Kenzo Amour Le Parfum. I am currently wearing Amour Indian Holi on the crook of my left arm and the original Amour on the crook of my right arm, Le Parfum only existing as a memory due to the admirable speed with which I finished my 5 ml decant months ago.

The main accords listed here on Fragrantica go Vanilla-Floral-Fresh for the original and Floral-Fresh-Vanilla for Indian Holi. Seems about right to me.

On my skin, the original Amour is all about the vanillic rice pudding on a backdrop of soft, vaguely floral fabric softener. It is round, enticing and slightly sweet. Indian Holi definitely tones down the rice in favor of a floral character that is sharp upon initial application and mellows with time into a fresh, pink breeze of subdued vanilla, red berries and cherry blossom, retaining the character I would still describe as fabric softener. Amour is wider, Indian Holi is straight-forward, if that makes sense. Le Parfum draws on the original more than it does Indian Holi.

Soapy spring florals at first spray, but they begin to warm up as the vanilla, incense and sandalwood come through.
Whats left is a gorgeous creamy and powdery oriental scent.
Its very pretty and comforting and for some reason reminds me of my childhood.
This scent is also surprisingly strong, one spray goes a long way.
Im not familiar with the smell of rice in perfume but i notice it here, it really brings together the whole perfume and gives it a special quality that makes this perfume unique.
I think its perfect for this Autumn

Kenzo amour was my signature scent years ago but I need a fresh test of it,so I can compare these two,I'm gonna edit when I do so
This Indian holi flanker is lovely
It's an oriental floral or oriental vanilla in my book not a floral woody musk..
This is very soothing, cozy,cuddly and fresh the same time, and I love such a freshness
There is a dominant creamy vanilla,flavored by cherry blossom and a nice,delicious rice steam,little amount of musk and sandalwood to make it deeper and more unique and a touch of frangipani and some other florals to make it more youthful and likable.. Honestly I don't get mentioned notes individually but I can feel their presence,all I get is soft floral vanilla,wrapped in rice steam and some musky sandalwood.I don't detect incense and I don't miss it. It's creamy,fluffy, warm and fresh as mentioned and one of most beautiful creamy vanillas..everything is blended artistically and result is this adorable, delightful,calming scent..sweetness is not sickening,it's not like any other perfume I know except original amour,they both share amour signature gene
I wish it was stronger, Longevity is moderate on me.it radiates softly but noticeably for people around you for an hour or two, then it's almost a skinscent,still I'm happy to wrap myself in this soothing heaven
Edit:
I compared it side by side with original amour and as I thought they share a similar skeleton but Indian holi has more fresh flowers with a slight fruity undertone while the original is more heavy in vanilla-rice pouding.the original is a bit sweeter,warmer and more cozy.has a few hours more longevity and better sillage.indian holy has a slight fruity tartness in opening and has a bit of sharpness comparing to well-rounded, creamy original.
Indian holi is exactly what we can name a day/warm weather version of original amour though it's wearable year round not just in spring and summer.
It's difficult to choose which one I prefer.I really enjoy both of them but if I have to choose one,it would be the original amour because it packs more punch and I love creamy, sweet,vanilla scents but now that I have both I can choose each of them in different situations. I'm still a hardcore fan of Kenzo Amour but Indian holi is so good that I've already used up my 30mil and purchased a 100mil of it.I love how fresh it is while being a vanilla scent and I love it's floral freshness, I prefer it to aquatic, ozonic or citrus freshness .this is a heavenly floral-vanilla scent that you may love even if you usually hate florals or vanilla scents
Now I'd really love to have a bottle of Kenzo l'eau amour for these hot summer days and a bottle of discontinued Kenzo Amour le parfum for the future winter

I never thought that I will be in love again

Indian Holi is a cosy, warm and soft cloud of cherry-vanille with a hint of rice-note.
I like it all year round, a perfume for every occasion.
Longivity and sillage are not so bad on my skin, soft but always in my nose for several hours.
Frangipani offers after a while in a very nice way.

Really a scarf to cuddly in!

My daughter owns this and was wearing it today. I actually thought she had snuck into my stash and borrowed my Ellen Tracy Bronze perfume...the dry downs are that similar...floral, balsamic, powdery & perfect in the warm late Spring temperatures which seem to bring out its warm notes in the most perfect, balancing way. If the $100+ Kenzo price tags are a bit steep for your budget, I suggest you try ETB...it is very similar & an affordable scent which is easily accessible & found in many discount US stores (Ross, Marshall's, TJMaxx).
Cheers! xo

Soft vanilla candied cherry blossom with a hint of incense. Sadly, I also get no sillage or longevity. It's completely gone in 15 minutes. 8^{

Nothing special unfortunately. This is going to become my bedtime scent. It is a warm vanilla-ish fragrance but it's barely there on me after about five minutes.

One of my favorite perfumes because it makes you feel like you're wrapped up in a warm cashmere sweater drinking some chai on a cold day. The clean smell of rice just makes it even more toasty! :)

Beautiful! Sweet yet sophisticated, not a clone of all the fruity florals out there. Alas, it has basically no sillage or lasting power on me, but I still wear it - I just have to reapply often!

Thanks to a sample from a fellow Fragrantica member, I was able to try this perfume. It has a fresh sweet smell, a little fruity, a hint of sharpness at first sniff but it mellows out rather quickly into a light scent that I have to look for on my skin. Overall it's a cute scent.

I forced my nose to like this one, but it was impossible. This fragrance is too linear to me. As it was ''indian'' i though it was going to be spicier and sweeter, but not at all. Much lighter than the original Amour, less vanilla and a hint of cherry flowers. So boring... I switched it with a friend and she gave me the chilling Organza on it's place. Veeeery annoying and boring.

I liked this scent, but it was very light- very quiet and close to the skin. No matter how much I sprayed I couldn't smell it unless in put my nose to my wrist.

Heavenly. I searched for a very long time for a perfume that would make me weak in the knees. I found exactly that and more in Indian Holi. This scent is sweet in just the right way, spicy and sensual. It has good lasting power, it isn't overly strong and the spicy oriental notes are right up my alley. I feel sexy, confident and alluring when I wear this. Indian Holi is definitely my signature fragrance. It's becoming harder to find, but trust me.. when my large bottle is gone? I will get another one.

You know when you find a fragrance that has everything you are looking for so you don't need to search any longer? That's what this perfume is for me. It's sweet, spicy, clean, fresh, sensual all in one bottle. It's a trip to heaven each time I spray it.

Very, very comforting. In fact, I use it almost every night just before sleep - it makes me feel sleepy, safe, clean and relaxed. It is lovely, much better than the classic version - it still has the soapiness, vanilla hint and rice-incense note of Kenzo Amour EDP, but the note of cherry blossom makes it just soo soft, like pink, cashmere pullover :)
I don't find it sexy, or bold, but I cannot belive that someone might not like it at all - it's save - for dinner at grandma's, for playing with little baby, for party with friends, and even for nice date in the winter evening.

As a previous reviewer mentioned this, like the original Kenzo Amour, has a note that really puts me off. It turns into a smokey peppery "makes my nose itch" scent within 5 minutes on my skin and then it completely disappears. Of all the Amour flankers I like the Florale best!

If I had to describe this perfume in words: Pure Innocence. This scent is like a beatiful young child; naive, innocent, sweet, cute. Nevertheless, I don't feel one bit childish while I'm wearing it. I feel womanly and sexy. That's a rare beauty.
p.s
Better then the original.

There is something in this flanker and the original Kenzo Amour that just doesn't work with my chemistry. I half suspect that the rice note has a lot to do with it, maybe even the peony too.

I love the name and I love the bottle, but unfortunately the scent doesn't love me. It becomes quite sharp and rubbery on my skin, with a musky cherry blossom accord mixed with some harsh, smoky incense. I really don't think I'll be re-applying Kenzo Amour Indian Holi anytime soon.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I was disappointed. I really thought I would enjoy this flanker. It would have been nice to smell Kenzo Amour Indian Holi on someone else, especially one with the right skin chemistry. That cherry blossom, vanilla and rice blend must be divine.

Despite this fragrance's incompatibility with my skin, it did last a good six or more hours and projected quite strongly. I would wear it during Autumn and Winter.

Thankfully Kenzo Amour Le Parfum worked for me, so if there are any other unfortunate people who struggle to wear both this flanker and the original, do try the exclusive Kenzo Amour Le Parfum.

Very disappointed. Too light, within 45 minutes it's gone and no sillage at all! It could be more intense with vanilla, incense, frangipani... More like an EdT to me and really expensive in CH, I've given it to my mum.

I am thinking I will make this at home...baby powder with a wisp of curry.

I have no idea what effect if any this scent has on other people when I wear it, but this makes me feel sensual like none other. It's georgeous!

I tested it with Kenzo Amour on the other wrist. Overall it smells like Amour but a little spicier. From the scent I can't really tell which one I prefer. Both are lovely and have their own caracter. But the sillage and the longevity of Indian Holi on me are significantly less good than original Amour. With the same amount of application, after 8 hours I can still smell Amour easily but Indian Holi has almost gone since after 5 hours.

This scent is so GORGEOUS!!! I fell in love with Kenzo Amour but always felt like it was missing something. Indian Holi fills in those gaps quite nicely. Can't wait for Fall again so I can wear it. It's a bit warm to wear in AZ weather.

first off I just had to try this because alot of these notes here are indeed most of the my favorites! cherry Blossom, Pink Pepper, Plumeria, Vanilla, incense and rice! and the bottle looks super cool too! my kind of my frag! when I sprayed it on, I kinda got the same play doh scent I got from Hypnotic Poison, still good enough for me though, the dry down smelt better on me then HP did, I was enjoying this lovely but play dohish scent until I discovered the last power isn't too great! which really sucks because I do like this scent alot!

I bought this because I was looking for a spicier fall/ winter scent to wear. It does not stay on me! Like within 30 minutes it's gone. Considering it's not that cheap, I would not repurchase.

I attended a fragrance event a few years back and was introduced to the original Kenzo Amour. For me it was just "meh OK" then the rep showed me this LE gem and I went bonkers! I don't know how to describe "notes" but this is a lovely exotic fruity floral but it is more mature and sexier than a typical summer fruity scent. I absoltuely LOVE this, so much that I have bought a backup bottle since it is an LE and for now is still fairly easy to find.

To me, this fragrance is grace in a bottle.
It's that girl who is very pretty, then you discover that she's bright, genuine and kind, too.

The name? Well, I'll just take the word of other reviewers about the meaning. I have never been to India, so I really don't have a clue.

As for the fragrance, I actually pick up some rose in this. It appears that other reviewers haven't noticed it on themselves, but on me it is subtle, but there.

I'm mostly getting cherry blossom, creamy vanilla and rice. This is sweet without being over-the-top and it's well-blended into a lovely and very feminine fragrance. It lasts for hours, but it's not a silliage bomb on me.

If you're looking for a versatile fragrance for day or evening, this is a good one.

I loved Amour but I have to admit I love Indian Holi even more. there's an extra dimension to it, its more interesting and special. I want a full bottle, right now!!!

A happy reward for my daliances in the dusty back shelves of perfume stores! Although this limited edition gem was out of stock at the store, I sampled it from the almost empty display bottle, and fell in love!
This gentle, mysterious, powdery-sweet-spicey blend was immediatley delightful, and had settled down to a soft,delicate incense-like prettiness by the time I realized that the store had discontinued selling it :-(
I jumped online and found it easily :-) That was 2 days ago, and as I write I am listening hopefully for the delivery truck!
The scent lingered all day when I tried it, seeming to mingle with my own skin in a most flattering way. Even after showering it was detectable, thankfully! Not in a bullyish way, more like I'd adopted it and it was happy to live with me! The wonderful harmonies between the sweetly spicey essence of Indian Holi with my favorite vanilla and pretty flowery notes is a joy to experience. Maybe it's on my front porch now so I can welcome it home again!

I have never liked the original kenzo amour because it reminded me the smell of rice, which i hate. also, i found it sweet in a bad way and almost linear.
now, my sister`ve borrowed indian holi, and I`m almost in love with it.
it takes the idea in kenzo amour and reinterprets it adding more spice to overlap the sweetness, which gives it a whole new sense of complexity.

Literally perfect. Soft and delicate but sweet. Definitely more fruit than the original. A little over sweet at first but it mellows and lingers with a warm scent. I wouldnt call it "spicy" but there are notes somewhere in there.

This is the best perfume my wife wears nowadays! Perfect scent!

Spices attack me !!! Lol. Yeah..fierce, strong on my skin.. the wave of incense and cherry blossom fulfill the air. Pink peppers and vanilla detected after 20 minutes, the scent is softer.,sensual, warm. Sandalwood appears after next 15 minutes. Okay..honestly I'm lookin for Kenzo Amour but can't find it in my country anymore,but this one is great second choice. Longevity and silage are good. A lovely blind buy :D

A lot alike Kenzo Amour, just a little bit softer. I like it alot. Cherry, Vanilla, Rice and Musk stands out most on my skin. Great every-day-scent.

Mycket lik Kenzo Amour, bara lite mjukare i framtoningen. Jag gillar den enormt. Körsbärsblomma, Vanilj,Ris och Musk är de doftnoter jag känner bäst på huden. Härlig varje-dag-doft.

Well, this is definitely cherry blossom and creamy vanilla, absolutely delicious scent. Very lasting and remains deliciously creamy all the way through. Every single person at work said how gorgeous this smells yet nobody can pinpoint what the scent actually is. I am surprised by how gorgeous it smells and how long it lasts. Wow

This is just the most beautiful Vanilla I've ever come across. When I finish this bottle I'm def buying another. Just perfect...

I finally received this after craving it for a year. Let me start by saying I have an obsession with India and Asian cultures, so when I first saw it on the shelves I knew that I will fall in love with it. The perfume accents a lot of important ingredients and scents that you would smell visiting India and the cherry blossom you would smell visiting Japan as well. The scent bursts with juicy red berries that quickly gives its place to spicy creamy cherry blossom. The floral heart emerge itself after that turns it into a romantic journey by itself. The incense is always there but it's not suffocating incense neither in your face, in contrary the incense only adds a smokey mysterious allure to this fragrance.The pink pepper and the spices tickle your nose as it goes to its dry down which has a woodsy vanilla creamy texture complimented by the long lasting cherry blossom that lingers.
The fragrance staying power is excellent 6 to 8 hours on my skin, sillage isn't so strong it would only project itself around half of meter radius around you and the sillage last for 2 hours then it turns to a skin scent that evolves by the time spent on your skin.

My man was surprised by how romantic, sensual and feminine ( his exact words) so it's definitely a scent that would suit a romantic date, a night of passion and anytime you feel like you want to smell divine.

Its suitable to all seasons, night and day. It can take you from an office setting to a romantic date. I tried it before in the summer and the only difference that the vanilla and incense were more prominent with the heat but nothing unbearable or headache inducing (for me and others).

As for myself I will be wearing this while enjoying a homemade Indian curry dinner with my husband.

If you love cherry blossom this is a must have.


PS: Thanks hubby for finally getting this for me :)

It is more fruity-flowery rice and less creamy vanilla that K amour.The spiced smells just in the beginning.

oooh! I love this one! I will keep this around in my wardrobe for a long time. The name suits it perfectly, it is a playful happy scent.
It is slightly tropical a very colorful eastern fruity gourmand fragrance.
It smells like Holi. I Imagine a crowd of thousands of adults and children just throwing colorful powder on one another in such joy and carelessness, with huge smiles! Its what I imagine living in a rainbow filled world would feel like! This scent absolutely makes you feel like that...so free spirited, a happy go lucky type of personality who falls in love carelessly. A new fave! I cant believe I never tried this one before.
As for the notes, they are all detectable! Frangipani with a hint of light spices nothing harsh or in your face, and the vanilla is there all the way through, the cherry blossom shines as well. Beautifully picked ingredients that really work good together to make an unforgettable scent. I have never smelled anything like it! Unique

I bought it for my mom cause I liked it at the store. It's zesty and unobtrusive at the same time.

well, it is very nice lovely smell on my skin.
on top i can smell the magnolia, rice.. and a lot more of frangipani.. (thats make a very unusual smell)

first i wear it at morning for work, but it just 4 hours in my skin.:(
and my friends tell me i should wear it at night...:)
its smell good nice, its kenzo


i gave it 8/10

I adore this! I much prefer it to the original Kenzo Amour. Hooray for it being the first frangipani fragrance not to give me a raging headache!

It's more of a skin scent on me and smells so feminine, romantic and sexy. Everything is so well balanced and rounded, love love love! I'll be wearing this on a romantic getaway with my man next month, that's for certain!

I got a sample of this in the mail today. As I put it on my wrist and took a whiff, I immediately pictured myself walking into a candlelit bedroom that had flower petals on the bed and incense burning on the night stand. I'm in love.

I bought this years ago so I liked it at some point but I have really grown to hate a lot of scents I used to love. This, like the others, is just heavy and artificial to me.

Indian Holi is a beautiful mixture of innocence and edginess. At first sniff it's romantic, musky and beautiful then it turns into a subtle, smoky, sexy addiction. The musk blends in lavishly soon after application. The end result is vibrant and alluring. When I smell it I see cheerful people dancing. It's a dynamic scent full of sensuality and charm.

Update: It's summer now, and I am enjoying my Indian Holi much more now! The heat makes it VERY sexy on my skin. Just when I thought I couldn't love it anymore, wow!

Kenzo Amour Indian Holi starts out soft, sweet, and warm, with flowers, rice milk, and red fruits over a base of incense and the littlest bit of spice. At times, Indian Holi smells like peach cobbler a la mode; at others, it smells like rice pudding with saffron; and at yet others, like incense and vanilla.

Despite its name, there's very little spice to be found here; if you're looking for a perfume with those gorgeous Indian chai spices, you'll have to look elsewhere. The name Indian Holi refers not the spiciness of Indian cuisine, but the bright, colorful nature of Holi, a holiday in India where people throw rainbow colored pigments on each other in celebration.

It's odd, but Amour Indian Holi smells reminiscent of Burberry Brit EDP, although I can't really pick any single notes that they share in abundance other than vanilla. They both have that "peach cobbler a la mode" smell despite both lacking peach, although Brit is more fruity and bold than the soft incense of Indian Holi.

I'm not yet sure if I want to invest in a bottle of Indian Holi when I've got a full bottle of Brit hanging around for those peach cobbler-craving days, but that rice pudding and incense is so delicious that I might just go out of my way to grab a bottle of this as well.

Simply amazing.. and lasts for ages!

Simply amazing.. and lasts for ages!

I have to say that this is one of my favorite perfumes. It is not overt in any way. It is a perfect mix of sweet and sassy. It does not try too hard with sweet, spice or floral but a blend of all make a wonderful symphony together. This perfume always lifts my mood and is a goto for me when I want a unique and comforting scent around me. I love the name and the bottle and the contents in it. You can't see the color of the juice through this bottle but I imagine is it a light golden color with all the sunny brightness and uplifting feeling this one gives me. As with a lot of Kenzo you will definately get vanilla but mostly the exotic florals, incense and spices make this a must have for any collection.

I was drawn to the gorgeous fluid shape of the bottle but sadly the fragrance was a disappointment. For me, it is overly sweet and lacks any depth.

I tested it the second time yesterday.
First time I tried it in May. In warm weather the fragrance developed into a creamy warm and thick scent - the incense and vanilla were very loud.
Yesterday in cool rainy weather Indian Holi turned rather cold and less creamy with rose, peony and musk being the most prominent notes. Still it was very lovely, feminine and peaceful.

have it, and really like it! sweet, warm and spiced vanilla, it´s absolutly a winter fragance. adorable! everybody ask me what i´m wearing when i put this on.
oh! i almost forgot to said, it last for ever, and ever, and more...

Lo probe junto con el Kenzo amour, que les puedo decir para mi este es mejor y tiene una aroma embriagador y adictivo , me encanta y sobre todo que a otros les encante. Cuando me lo pongo suelo tener muchos halagos por el aroma . delicios0¡¡¡¡

I Love LOVE LOVE this scent! I is simply amazing. It is different from anything I own. And when this bottle is gone; I will purchase another. If it is discontinued - I will have heart failure. I simply can't explain it any other way than sunshine in a bottle. Just makes me wish I could spray it right in my face - j/k! But if you haven't smelled it -your missing out!

This is just such a lovely and warm scent. It's subtle and not overpowering not matter the quantity. One of my top ten favorite fragrances. This is a perfume that you can wear year round. I get 3 main ingredients out of this vanilla, pink pepper and the peony...it's so much more as the scent evolves but really a wonderful perfume and well made...I own a lot of KENZO!

I like this fragrance a lot, but I can't figure out what's Indian about it. I get cherry blossoms pretty well, but I definitely associate cherry blossoms with Japan. I don't really detect any spices or incense, so I was a bit disappointed. Despite my disappointment with the lack of "Indian-ness," I still would consider buying this. It's probably best example of cherry blossoms in perfume that I know of.

this is nice and gental to . i just tested this beside the original Kenzo amour. thi to me isent very much more spicy the way i thought i would be , but almost sweeter in away.
I think its the Rice that is more prominant in this one . the original vanilla , heliotrop is there , but the peony and cherry blosoms makes it more interesting , the spices aswell . allthoug like i sayed , not very strong.
this to me have almost more play dooh feel to it then the original. nice , but note worth the buy imo.
a little to shy and simple

I am in love! This is sweet but not syrup-y gourmand IMO. I get spices like cinnamon and cardamom, beautiful sandalwood, a bit of incense, dry vanilla. This is slightly sweet from the vanilla but not at all syrup like; almost like chai-tea! Very pleasant! I just bought a bottle and it will be perfect for the autumn season!

I love this one. Smell very well soft and sweet.

This is lovely, youthful incense infused scent. I absolutely love it. The cherry blossom is nicely balanced by the smokiness, and the spice is very light, just giving the sweetness an edge.

A charming little thing. The first impression was ”oh no, another fruit syrup”. Yes, it is extremely sweet, but the combo cherry blossom - spices is a lucky one. I’m not fond of gourmand sweet fragrances, but should I pick up one, I would take Amour Indian Holi.

This is a beautiful, exotic floral scent. By far the best cherry-blossom scent I've encountered yet.

The sweet cherry-blossom is the star of this perfume, along with the fresh rice steam, rose (not listed above), incense, and vanilla. It is warm and fresh at the same time. This certainly isn't loud or over-the top. It is gorgeous and soft, and would work as an everyday scent any time of the year.

The bottle is stunning, and captures the fragrance inside well - colourful, beautiful and cheery!

I adore it - the incense adds just the right amount of smokiness to the sweetness of the cherry blossom. It imbues it with a slightly mystical, exotic air that is perfectly in keeping with the name. That said, it has absolutely no staying power, at least on me. I sprayed it on my wrist, and it was all but gone an hour later. Divine, but unfortunately, very short-lived. Like being taken up to heaven and then unceremoniously kicked out, all in one afternoon.

This smells like every other oriental perfume out there. It is not original and it is certainly forgettable.

I had a hard time warming-up with it, but thinking twice is an amazing exotic scent...of course, not suitable for daily use ;)

I had this one and it was the version of Amour I liked most. It had a bit of spice and raunchyness to it. But even here the original Amour note was so strong and getting on my nerves with the drydown - because the spicyness and raunchyness faded away then. If you are looking for these kind of spices in a stronger way, have a look at Tova and "Nirvana". It's also a scent inspired by India - and Indian Holi for me was like a light version of "Nirvana".

I've got a sample of it and I think I'm addicted! Got to find the full version asap!

i think this perfume is ok. i wish there was an "in between button" b/c i wouldn't say "i like this and want to buy it" but i wouldn't say i dislike it either. i like it better than regular amour. this one is lighter and i like that i smell a berry or something sweet. i don't see berries listed as an ingredient, but i smell something berry-ish and just think this one is nicer. i will have to resample to give a better opinion as i often find i need to try a perfume a few times before i decide how i like it.

I initially fell in love with Kenzo Amour but after I smelled this its my definate favorite of the two. It just has that extra something special. Its warm and cozy smelling and the incense is amazing. Another beautiful fragrance from Kenzo.

I just tried Amour Indian Holi. I havent ever smelt the regular amour, but this one is quite delicious, however it doesnt last very long.
The initial sent was lively but slightly mysterious. after only a few minutes my wrist had turned into a field of lush, flavorful flowers after a fresh rainfall, only, it had rained a crisp citrus that is lingering on the leaves and petals of the red and orange hued flowers. sadly this doesnt last much more than 15 minutes before the scene fades and subtle spices begin to saunter by, and as this leisurely parade strolls past, it begins to slowly pull a soapy, astringent scent with them, with hints of soft white flowers.
I've only been wearing this perfume for about a half hour now, and it seems to be almost completely gone.
It is an admirable piece, although it comes and goes much too quickly.

i have that for 2 years and i like it but it doest last so i dont wear it very often

Kenzo Amour Indian Holi is a delicious, spicy and happy scent that unfortunately gives me instant headache exactly like sister Kenzo Amour. Too bad.
The two share many similarities but Indian Holi is definetely more kicking and bright. Sillage is nice and lasting power is good.
I blame the synthetic vanilla for headache or maybe the rice note, who know? I know that many of the latest Kenzo give me this problem.
I would have bought this straight away if not for this problem.
Try first buying.

Amaaaaaaaaaazing juice!!SENSUAL..Sexy & sophisticated but in a confident way..not in a "Pleeease notice me.." ....I loove the fact that the incense note is right in the top notes unlike most frags that prefer to keep it in the basenotes for the drydown only..I think its kinda outrageous to have right to ur face in the topnotes...I HIGHLY appreciate that...I hope it's never disontinued ever..Thanx Kenzo!!!

Very nice and relaxed, cheerful and sensual. A great fragrance for women from young to middle age. I think not a good option for teens.

I like it a lot.

the presence of incense in this perfume I think is what makes it totally different from Kenzo Flower. It's a soft incense fragrance.

The opening notes of this were heavenly. I took a deep breath and exotic incense and warm, spicy musk made both my daughter and I sigh with pleasure. After a mere few minutes, however, my jaunt through the orient ended, and I was dumped into a fruit orchard surrounded by berry bushes and scattered roses. Sadly, this didn’t work with my body chemistry.

Differences between this and the original:
1. The original tends to be sweeter than Indian Holi, but I find Holi a little bit more complex
2. The original lasts longer than Indian Holi
Therefore, it's more likely I'll purchase the original (mostly because of the staying-power which I find very important).

It took me a while but I finally worked out which olfactory memory had been stimulated by Indian Holi - Pink Creaming Soda! Yummy!

It does get spicier the longer it is on but I prefer the exciting pink opening myself.

Unfortunately, this is a very weak potion & I don't really get a lot out of it. It also stimulates brain hurt (you know, when you smell something & there is that squeezing pain behind your eyes) so it is a no for me. Maybe Armour will work better for me.

Love this - there's just something about it I can't stop sniffing. Definitely in the right category, a floral woody musk! I prefer it to the original Kenzo Amour. Reminds me a bit of Betsy Johnson, which has similar notes, but I like this one much better, it's much better balanced! The top notes listed don't pop out for me so much; I get peony, vanilla and musk the most. Sweet florals, very warm and creamy smelling, with a hint of spiciness and a bit of powder from the sandalwood. It's pretty linear, not much change on me over time. Snatch it up while you can!

It starts off very powdery. It almost brings me back to days in grade school. Then the sweet/floral/musky scents start dancing around and the powdery innocence starts to fade into a more sultry, sensual scent. It is not overpowering even on the first spray and yet it lasts all day. Lovely on the nose and the eyes too.

I Was a bit dissapointed with this
fragrance i expected a spicy woodsy
firey untamed collection but what it turned out it was a prud very shy on my skin the water drowned out the spices
the peppers woods but i like the incense i think they shoud add more
volume of spices woods and put cinnamon
or chai tea to it but i love the Sinuous Red bottle very different and sensual.

Wow What can I say....I was very excited about this fragrance when I heard about it, after purchasing it I did'nt smell good on me at all. Because of the price, I really tried to like itie use less of it etc.It just did not work out with my chemistry.No matter how little I used it was just over powering,and much too sweet.I must say it is long lasting that is good and bad even after I washed it off I could still smell it so I finally thre it away.Then I disposed of it I had almost a full bottle but I just could not wear it or stand to smell it, this is a perfume that walked into the room before I did....I was much too much for me.

The only fragrance by Kenzo I think I have appreciated.

Exotic and spicey,much better then the other amours.But amour le parfum is still my favourite(gold bottle)

okay let me start off by saying that I don't like kenzo perfumes on me. I don't have anything nice to say about them. I tried the most popular on Amour and smelled playdoh. But this one is a pleasant surprise. Its so...interesting. I smell the spices and the sandalwood right off the bat mix with the rice pudding. It does have power. And as it dries down I smell the cherry blossom stepping forward. Leaving just a pretty floral. Wow. didn't expect this. Sensual is the perfect word.

just realized that the drydown smells similiar Hilary duff with love.

I have this and I love it...
its my favorite new like Hugo Boss XX

i feel like all kenzo perfumes are the same!i dont like the fact that they arent unique...i've never asked a woman (which i do that ...a lot!)about their perfume and got "kenzo" as an answer...so its not a perfume that you'll get compliments...you can easily find similar and low cost immitations colognes at the super-market...so thanks but no thanks!...even though i've tested all of them, i wont ever buy a kenzo perfume! xo xo

Way oversweet with a bug spray edge. This does not work at all on my skin. It has the earmarks of a sweet vanilla Kenzo, not unlike Amour, but the other notes don't blend at all on me and it's sort of dreadful. Glad it works for others, but wow, I'll pass.

It's a well balanced perfume. Powdery - but not that "old lady" powder - and creamy. Very comforting and exotic. Sweet but not annoying. I feel pretty and mysterious wearing it.

EDIT: Don't feel mysterious anymore. I feel comfortable and my skin smells like chocolate after a few hours! Delicious! My boyfriend agrees!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! I searched parfum with similar climate , soul , character as Safran Troublant and I have found Indian Holi exactly. On skin dance, blended joyfully, fresh notes cherry flower , rose, warm notes of parrying rice, sandalwood, and notes spices( pepper). Indian Holi is juicy ,spicy, but simultaneously warm and bit cream. Very appetite, very optimistic, and also magic like India, like woman and like woman subtle and sensual. Very nice, comforting, beautifull. I love it.

I like this exotic take of Kenzo Amour! It's more spicy than regular one, very festive, joyful and amusing! I love the packaging and hope I can put my hands on the great coffret! Too bad it's LE.


Edit 22/05: wearing Indian Holi today I had an insight: this is what Kashaya should have been!

I got a chance to try it thanks to a fragrantica member.

It really smells exotic to me, as standing in a fair, next to the flower and candy stands.

Its a weel balence fragrance, between floral and woody, with a touch of sweet.I don't get any musk or incense of it.

I love the Rice steam and Cherry blossom, wrapped in peony and pink peper.

On me it last all day long. I put some on the back of my neck and when i turned my head I got a fresh whaff of it. Really easy to wear, a kind of sweet freshness that uptlifted my spirit.

I think it would be great to wear on a first date or casual dates with friends.

Nice, well-blended, warm, deliciously gourmand rather than woody. Most of the time I could smell vanilla and tones very similar to those of Armani Code. That is why this perfume seems to me already existing, in many subtle variations.
Or, maybe just my nose cannot distinguish anything special.

Its encircling. Pleasant, vaporous... nice notes of sandalwood and vanilla... but don't have clear notes of incense... in my opinion its floral-spicy...
Gives me a warm-steamy sensation...
Its nice, only that for my taste...

I have to write about this, I have been searching for a Kenzo scent I can wear that doesn't smell like a baby powder on me. This is so sensual and spicy with some berries mixed in. It is absolutely to die for, sweet and spicy sensual, I imagine I am in India during the festival of colors. I love it!!! I found my Kenzo perfume!

I love this! The perfume is so soft but the pepper and rose add a hint of mystery. Lovely and multilayer perfume so soft with a hint of spice at the same time its perfect!

P.S. This does not last very long at all, very disappointing but I still want it!

This is first of Kenzo that I tried on my skin. It is very nice at the beginning- flowers with something less familiar. It's soft, a bit spicy after hour. I really like how frangipani with peony smells- very yummy! Then it's a little spicy, warm wood on me. Lasting power is good and I definitely want to try other Kenzo perfumes, they always associate something very oriental for me.

ı bought it 2 weeks ago..with the first sniff I felt in love with it, especially teh rice coming so nice...I did nıt hesitate to buy it..the only problem, even me hardly smel it while I wear it.the people around even do not notice that I wear a perfume! I wish it had been more intense...

This is a real comfort scent for me; putting it on always lifts my mood. I wouldn't say it's at all challenging. Rather, I would liken it to a warm cashmere sweater on a cold winter day - elegant, soft, and incredibly warm.

I just received this perfume this weekend. I thought I was going to love it, but I don't really like it. It's very sweet on me and it doesn't have much in common with the original Amour. I smell lots of peony and it smells kind of cheap. I don't smell any vanilla and I bought it because I'm very in love with vanilla and deep warm scents. This is just too sweet and boring, not deep, warm or sexy at all

It's a lovely, sweet, creamy fragrance, perfect for autumn. However, I think it could be a bit fruitier and more vibrant. I like it, but I still prefer the original Amour.

This one is very precious! Exotic but not in that strong offensive way the orientals are. Rice provides creamy and incense is of good quality. Soft, confortable. I love it.

Very nice "little sister" of Kenzo "Amour". The fragrance is rich, colorful and it also has the smell of rice steam that i like so much in Amour.

long time it is parfum is my favorite, i love it

i had the same impression, that´s a lighter version of amour...but i woudn´t wear it on summer,maybe at night...i love both of them!

I just received a carded sample from Sephora and it's really not that different from the original Kenzo Amour. Indian Holi only has a bit more "bite" to it (more fruity). It's actually not as strong as Amour, which is disappointing. I completely agree with the reviewer below me. I may buy this one, though. The original Amour no longer smelled good on me - instead of smelling like rice and warmth, it started to smell like car tires :( So I gave it away. This one actually works on me. I love it.

I've tried it out today and it's not quite as woody as the original, but very delicious. It brings back memories of my childhood. I also like the colour of the bottle which is a bit more glowing and pink than the fuchsia one.
Although I can't make out any special notes, it's very well combined - very warm and sensual.

I already have the original Kenzo Amour and I love it's sweet warmth... this must be even more incredible. Looks awesome, too! I read reviews on it from other websites and according to them, it will be more fruity. Sounds decadent!
