David Yurman Fragrance

Such a beautiful little gem! For me this one was tricky. The first few times that I tried it, found it too sweet, specially at the beginning with the dominant black currant note, and I thought to myself: "Yet another boring unpleasant heavy sweet perfume!" (I hate most of them!) But I have to admit, I was wrong and these past few days it has grown on me a lot. This one is no ordinary mediocre sweet gourmand. Although it's still a bit too sweet at the beginning, but after a little while, it softens into a delicate gentle smell, and the musk takes over (heavenly musk! mixed with some other floral notes as well). It has such delicate warmth and such depth and beauty about it, embraces you in kindest and sweetest way possible, and make all the troubles go away. I believe if Demeter, the greek goddess of nourishment and motherhood had a perfume, it would be this one. It's like what they say, sitting beside a chimney in a dark freezing winter night, drinking tea, while reading a good book. That's how wonderful it makes me feel. Also it is rather high quality, with impressive longevity and sillage, way better than many (sadly, reformulated) perfumes out there. عطر فوق العاده ایه. اولش چندان خوشم نیومد، خیلی شیرین شروع میشه و رایحه انگور سیاه غالبه. روایح شیرین رو اصلا نمی پسندم، و نمی دونم چرا بیشتر عطرهای زنانه شیرین و میوه ای هستن متاسفانه. اما با چند بار استفاده از این عطر نظرم کاملا عوض شد. عطر فوق العاده عمیق و با کیفیت، با گرمای بسیار خوشایندیه. واقعا قابل مقایسه با خیل عطرهای متوسط الحال و مهوع شیرین و سنگین و بعضا بسی پرطرفدار!! نیست. ظرافت و خلاقیت توش محسوسه کاملا. با اینکه هنوز معتقدم اولش کمی زیادی شیرینه، اما این شیرینی خیلی زود ملایمتر میشه و جاشو کم کم میده به مشک زیبا و لطیف و ملایم، مخلوط با روایح گل و میوه‌ای البته. فکر کنم اگه دیمیتر، الهه مادری و تغذیه، عطری داشت، عطرش این بود. گرمای مطبوع یک آغوش گرم و شیرین و ملایم و مهربون. گرماش تداعی کننده همون استعاره معروفه: نشستن کنار شومینه توی شبی از شبهای سرد زمستون، فنجون چای در یه دست و یه کتاب خوب در دست دیگه. مدتها بود دنبال همچین عطری می گشتم و در حالی که عطرهای گرم و شیرین یکی بعد از دیگری ناامیدم می‌کردن، بالاخره پیداش کردم.

I knew when I bought my first bottle. It was 1.7 oz. I read about David Yurman and after reading a glowing review of this fragrance on another site, decided to buy it. The cost was about 45 dollars I think. After trying it, I wrote a review here. You can find it down below. Well, a few others ladies tried it and were made David Yurman converts. This is the best of his perfumes. I promptly bought the largest bottle of this fragrance that he offered. As time went on, the large bottles started disappearing. So I knew I had a gem. I bought 2 more 1.7 oz bottles and wore this to work and in the evening during the late fall and entire winter. When I went back to buy more, (I believe in being proactive and when I find something good and I really like it, I stock up.) By this time only the 1.7 ounce and the one ounce were being offered. The 1.7 ounce had went up in price by almost 50%. But get this, the 1 ounce unboxed ones were as little as $18.00. So I bought 3 bottles. I opened one of them and sprayed to ensure the scent was not faded or a fake and yes, it was the real deal. Well, I promptly bought 3 more bottles and in the next year (late 2016 and the first half of 2017), I bought 3 more bottles of the one ounce bottles. I think they will last me a while. I gave one away to a dear lady at my last job who loved the scent so much, so I surprised her one day with a one ounce bottle. And get this, those 1.7 ounce bottles that I paid 45 dollars for are being sold for almost 200 dollars on some sites. You can sometimes find a bottle on ebay for a little over hundred. So for you ladies that have a bottle of this David Yurman fragrance, you are lucky. It is becoming a rare and expensive one to buy.

This was one of my MANY first blind-buys back in the day when I thought I actually COULD have all the smells. But goodness, was this a fabulous buy! Right from the first moment I sprayed it, I loved it, and even after losing my big 100ml bottle to hubs, who gifted to his family (miscommunication), Fragranticans came through and gifted me with a gorgeous little 30ml bottle. I actually prefer the look of the 30ml, which is completely different from the big one, but anyhow. . . This is the epitome of "rose." Not to say it's a soliflor . . . it's not. But it highlights the rose beautifully. It's JUST on the edge of being sharp, JUST on the edge of being sweet, and JUST on the edge of being a big ol' bouquet of flowers . . . oh, and JUST on the edge of being soapy. But it's none of those things. It's the most gorgeous balanced rose perfume I've ever smelled. I haven't smelled all, or even all that many, but I've tested some of the higher end babies, and this lovely has my heart for real! If you only want one rose in your wardrobe, THIS one deserves the spot!

قبل از اینکه نظرمو بنویسم بگم که دو ترکیب با بیشترین رای در دو عطر دیوید یورمن طلایی و مادمازل ریچی، گل رز و مشک هستند ولی این دو عطر ذره ای به هم شباهت ندارن و این مساله باعث شد لااقل به یکی از بزرگترین سوالات خودم پاسخ داده بشه که احتمال شباهت عطر هایی با ترکیبات با رای بالا و مشابه بود. اگه نظر قبلی من رو در بین نظرات در پروفایلم دیده باشید خوندید که از تشابه عطر با عطر های قدیمی نوشتم. من واقعا شامه ام مشکل نداره و متاسفانه برای عطر دیوید یورمن هم باید همینو بنویسم. تشابهی که از همون لحظه ی اول با عطر ها یا ادکلن ها یا اسپری های قدیمی حس کردم. راستش برای من این مساله اصلا خوشایند نیست که عطر برند و جدید به نظرم بویی قدیمی داشته باشه اما واقعیت امر همینه و من از این عطر این حقیقت رو دریافت کردم. مورد بعد اینکه عطر به نظرم بسیار شیرینه و من این اندازه از شیرینی رو نمیتونم بپذیرم. حتی اومدم اینجا و نگاه میکنم در بین آکورد ها واژه ی شیرینی ذکر نشده و از این بابت هم تعجب میکنم. خدا رو شکر که تصمیم گرفتم از این به بعد اول عطرها رو تست کنم و گرنه که کلا ورشکست میشدم.

This is indeed a beautiful scent. Some may find this expensive, but really this fragrance is right up there with some of the much more expensive fragrances. You can wear this proudly. I am constantly complimented on this perfume. And it's mainly men who compliment me. Words Like, "You smell so good." "What are you wearing, it smells wonderful." And the best one I like is "You smell rich." I think that there are so many fruity, sweet fragrances out there that men have become overwhelmed. And even when it comes to winter fragrances, fragrances can get quite heavy in smell, loading up on the patchouli, amber and musk. They don't balance out with the other ingredients, especially when it comes to the dry down. This fragrance has a little sweetness, but it balanced very well by the patchouli and musk. They don't overwhelm the floral sweetness of the florals, it meets them head to head and dances with them. A beautiful waltz.

The one word I would use to describe this perfume is gorgeous! I'd read reviews and had seen it had been compared to Armani's City Glam, that was a perfume I loved and I was very disappointed it had been discontinued. Indeed on further investigation they do share very similar notes however David Yurman is the slighty more mature, more expensive, sophisticated relation. On first spray of the tester I thought it was rather nice, nothing exceptional but nice. It was after a few days of testing I started to fall in love with it and I then purchased a full bottle. This perfume almost makes it into my top five favourite fragrances as it shares one of my favourites notes - patchouli. This is one perfume I expected to be a sillage monster, but for me sadly it is all over too soon. The first time I wore it a friend couldn't smell it. Such a shame, it was almost perfect.

I like this fragrance very much. It's is soft, feminine sophisticated romantic and sparkly, very addictive. It is a balance between fruity notes and floral notes with excellent quality. The musk and the patchouli and the rose make this a sensual perfume. It's simply stunning and it's quite different from the others in the market. This is more for the grown woman scent not the teenage type. It takes sophistication, maturity and self confidence to pull this off. It's a complex scent with great sillage and longevity. My friend wears this and when she walks or gets near you can always get whiffs of this lovely fragrance. This is a good fragrance for everyday and for going out. Since it's quite expensive you might want to wear it to go out to dinner or on a date! Sillage is magnificent too and the body lotion is just as good as the perfume itself!

Thank you to the wonderful Diamonds for sending me this sample (amongst many others). I have been DYING to try this but just never got around to doing so. The first spritz just left me perplexed as to what I could smell. Why am I thinking Kate Walsh Boyfriend? It was powerful and addictive and perhaps slightly masculine and my heart started racing as I just knew that I was going to love this perfume. I am not the greatest at identifying notes but I can only say that this is a wonderful syrupy, heady, floral mix, a smattering of rose and a sweetening of patchouli, which dries down to a floral musky woodyness. If you like chypre florals then you will love this perfume! I think it is utterly exquisite, expensive in the way it smells, high end sophistication. It has massive projection and impressive longevity. To me, this is FB worthy.

I read all the negative reviews of this perfume several months ago and avoided trying Yurman's offering based on them. I was at Nordstrom today with a big bottle staring me in the face, and I couldn't resist all that gold. I must say, what are all the naysayers talking about? This is a gorgeous fragrance! It opens smelling like a fruity white wine, like muscat maybe. And thank God Yurman knows how to blend flowers together. I am tired of white flower fragrances or perfumes that are predominantly rose. So un-creative, and they've been done a million times. This is a nice blend of soft blossoms, woods, and musk. There is no spice in it at all, look at the notes. I definitely could see a wealthy woman wearing this perfume. It's a modern classic. I want a bottle.

Bought this blind from Marshall's on clearance for cheap and I am so glad I did. It smells amazing. As soon as I put it on, it was love at first sniff. Almost all the main accords listed above are my favorites so no wonder I love it. I can't pinpoint exactly what it smells like for some reason as nothing stands out strongly, it is musky though. It's just a good hodgepodge of things I like and it is so well blended and smooth. It's like liquid gold, it is classy and sophisticated. I wear this to work but it is definitely something to wear on an evening date. Mine is long lasting also and I love how the spray mist is fine, it's definitely a high quality bottle. Mine does not look like the picture above, it is the 1oz sized with a small lid.

Harry Fremont c/o David & Sybil Yurman has created a Golden Goddess of a fragrance! Glamorous and heavenly, yet somehow grounded and down to earth. Park Avenue sophisticated snob, yet humble. Simple, yet infinitely complex. Intrinsically beautiful, each fragrance component belonging to, or lying within its given counterparts. The bottle looks and feels like a gold ingot, heavy and beautiful, worthy of being stockpiled like the gold bars at Fort Knox. I will be investing in more of this pure, perfect GOLD! It's said the streets of Heaven are paved in gold... This Golden fragrance and bottle are so absolutely stunning, I imagine that the streets of heaven could be paved with David Yurman. Sillage was average, longevity good.

I am so surprised! In contrast to the notes of peony and lotus (usually done with watery 'calone' notes that go off on me) Yurman is astonishingly rich, warm, deep, and classic smelling. David Yurman Limited Edition was a mess on me - quite masculine and a chemical-like woodiness. But this is far more rosy and lovely. Unisex? Yes, if you don't mind smelling like a marvelous perfume for women from the 80's or 90's! This reads as a rose chypre on me, a sister of the original La Perla! I adore La Perla, even in the thinner new version, and David Yurman is by no means thin! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if one loves pungent, grounded, woody roses with much character. Mature but by no means fusty. Gorgeous, strong, and long lasting.

This reminds me of Guerlain Iydlle a bit but it's not a dupe. This is much fruitier I get the black current quite a bit. A very musky rosie, peony dominant floral. Extremely feminine. Dainty but with strength and lasting power. This is the perfect fragrance to wear if you're wearing a crisp white summer dress or a light baby pink one. Very pretty very feminine. It screams spring and early summer. Classy, would be beautiful on a bride. I can see a bride wearing this holding a very large bouquet a white and pink peonies. Hard to stop smelling it because it's so darn pretty.

This fragrance is SOOOO beautiful, I have to write about it! It's lusciously generous with the rose - but I get a sweetly smooth (black currant) and sultry combo with the patchouli and musk. It seems fairly linear, but it's like PERFECTION to me. It's a wonderful bedtime scent, so warm and comforting, very therapeutic! The silage is crazy good and you don't need more than a single spray for it to stick around for a few good hours. Highly recommend - I found it at a crazy good price, $29 for the 3.4oz bottle, on eBay.

I adore this fragrance. So very clean and fresh, alluring, stunning and SOPHISTICATED are words I'd use to describe. I receive so many compliments. D.Y. is on my list of top favorites along with: Armani Code, Elie Saab, Dahlia Divin, Tory Burch, Narciso Rodriguez for Her, Roberto Cavalli, Cartier De Lune, Angel, Stella McCartney, Bvlgari Aqva Divina and etc. However, I've never considered this for late spring or summer. Never tried it during those seasons, perhaps because I savor it for specific times of the year.

This is a fantastic all around fragrance. I'm pleased to see other reviewers also feel it's appropriate for all seasons, (day or evening). David Y. is quite sexy and sophisticated but not too mature. It's also worth noting that while the fragrance notes are similar to the more popular ones, it's not sweet, too floral or powdery. The latter also makes it a wonderful everyday perfume. Also, the scent is fresh and clean but not at all soapy. I really suggest you give this one try. Wear it the office!

Very sophisticated perfume. I got mine today from express purchase on Ebay. Payed US 53 the lot and I must say, the first ever curiosity pays off during visit to DY store in Las Vegas and this wasn't in stock. Returned home and thinking its almost our anniversary so I quickly order it. This is something we don't have in store here and never will! Generously score 9/10 for this without doubt

This was a blind purchase. It was in a beautiful box set. I was attracted to the bottle. When I sprayed it I immediately thought classy, a fragrance for a mature woman but not too mature. The dry drown was different. I was able to smell the black currant and lily. It reminded me of Coco Chanel. It definitely awakens the senses, in a good way.

I'm a guy but I insist heavily for my wife to own this so I got it for her and now it's a rare find,. One of the most prestigious blend of perfume as it touches the skin. I don't know if I will ever encounter this kind in the future. So now a bottle is like a jewel sitting in the closet

Just got a 50ml bottle at Winners for $36.00 , so I picked it up- blind buy. It has that LARGE smell of something like Estee Lauder's " Knowing". Not that the notes are so much the same, but just that huge smell and sillage -almost a too rich smell.....
