Vampiren Veil

I bought their sample pack of every scent they do, this was the one I fell for. The burnt sugar, saffron, and amber were the draws. But the smell of the sample was absolutely amazing. I don’t have the ability to pick out notes, but it was just... delicious. It’s darker than that strawberry note implies—I actually don’t get any strawberry from mine. The sample was so good, I ordered their full bottle of Vampiren Veil within five minutes of receiving and smelling it. The bottle took a week to be created and shipped. Then it was mine. And I was initially disappointed by it. The fragrance was weaker, it held none of the complexity the sample had shown. But I read online that these perfumes are made to order and need time to come together. So, I shoved it in my vanity drawer for a month and forgot about it. When I finally tried it again, it smelled exactly like the sample did! Beautiful, a slightly sweet scent with some cold darkness to it. It’s gorgeous. And a tiny bit goes such a long way. I wore two sprays of it to visit my parents, my dad demanded to know which perfume I was wearing while I was sitting six feet from him. It has a masculine edge that I love, too. I don’t get the similarities between this one and Baccarat Rouge. Maybe a tiny bit of it ten hours after applying Vampiren Veil pops through, that nose tingling scent I can never put a name to! But to me, they’re two different beasts. I like this one better, actually. It layers really well with sweet scents too. Feminises it more.

I got the discovery set as a gift , which made my day/week/month !! Such a thoughtful gift for a perfume and Gothic lover. I must agree with other reviews that it's not giving "dark" "gothic" "transvaniyain castle" or any of that (that to me would be something much darker with notes of damp stone, moss, patchouli, smoke ect - the kind of thing Indie perfumers do well) . That said , I do really enjoy this one !! It's my favourite from the set . Definitely BR540 inspired, but not a clone. It's definitely in that style though, but with it's own twist having that extremely fruity top note. Another good thing about these frags is they are all long lasting....This is a huge plus point for me I'm sick of frags that are a skin scent after 1hr. Yep, these are decently strong sillage and longevity. Excellent!!

Similar in style to BR540 - not a dupe but a credible fragrance in a similar style IMO. Bear in mind that it's common for fragrance houses to do their own "take" on a theme like this but no-one criticises when it's a fancy brand. I find the touch of strawberry with the background of caramel/sugar/amber is smooth and pleasing - not super complex but works well. Projection was moderate (not everyone wants to wear a beast) and it lasted well. Great value as it's not expensive.

A lovely fragrance, i agree with others its not really what you would expect when you hear VAMPIRE but overall an amazing fragance and i cannot reccomend more honestly very much worth the £80+ i paid for it!!

Yeah this is basically BR540 aa others have said, maybe a touch sweeter. Not a bad thing if you like that DNA.
