Vie Eteree

I put on three test sprays on my arm at the mall and my immediate impression was ‘Niche version of Armani Code Sport’. Now, 6 hours later, it’s still going pretty strong, especially for a freshie

Best explosive citrus scent in my opinion, it’s worth it

Bought Vie Eteree during a Rinascente promotion whilst visiting Italy. Still pretty pricey. First off the presentation is beautiful. Weighty bottle with a base which feels like real metal? Basically starts with a mellow citrus which disappears quickly for me. It's best for the next hour. Soft aromatic with some beguiling notes which I couldn't recognise until I read the ingredient list. It's the basil. Soft landing and doesn’t last forever but the base is a bit generic anyways. Overall it feels safe but just a little bit different like a soft cashmere jumper that's not boring grey....

Nice fresh summer scent with cooling effect. The citrus is quality and seems more realistic than the average designer stuff. Despite that, the scent gets better into the dry down once the majoroty of the citron has dissipated. Very well blended and versitile. However, the price is ridiculous. There are many other scents that achieve similar effects at a fraction of the price. Scent 7.5/10

It opens like a diluted version of Xerjoff Renaissance with far less musk and less personality and then dries down to something like Bucheron Singulier. Sharp citron citrus notes on top. A hint of basil in the mid if you go looking for it. Fresh, masculine nondescript cedar wood in the mid and base. Top notes are short lived, about 30 minutes, the life of the fragrances is about 2-4 hours. Easy reach citrus blue fragrances, best for warmer weather. Smells good, but forgettable. Expensive for what it offers, rating 3/5
