Outrageously Vibrant

I agree that this perfume is dominated by mint, cassis and is very heavy on patchouli. I personally like it, but not enough to own a bottle. I kept a small 10 ml travel size one, and will be selling my second one. It's a very nice unusual perfume, but it's extremely strong and very heavy on patchouli. It's not for everyday, and it may even be too strong for some people. I wish it was a little bit toned-down.

The smell was def different. I smelled more cassis then rose. And i find this can be a unisex scent. I liked russe more but it was soft and i have better fragrances that do get attention. this collection is nice but a bit more on the feminine side. Russe being the most masculine and brilliant being more of the citris day wear that smells generic. better off getting tom ford neroli or acqua di parma for that citris scent. This collection has nice bottles but for the juice aint worth the price. Jo malone collection blows this one away. especially Jo malones Oud bergamot, pomegranate noir, birch blackpepper, incense cedrat & wood sage sea salt.

I get rose and mint. Nice, but not enough to justify the price. Just... nice. Nothing to do with the name 'Outrageously vibrant', advertises but doesn't deliver.

this is a fantastic perfume where it isn't a "scent", "fragrance", a generic "aqua" or whatever the hell they bestow upon us, also from the niche corner (many great perfumes and also a lot of blah blah). this is a perfume and you, one, I, WANT to wear it for its boldness, over-the-topness, the gorgeous flacon you can carry with you almost as a weapon (of decadence, of radiance or to slam an assailant to the floor if it happens to be in your versace purse). the actual perfume then, ingredients, immediately move you to some deft waldorf-astoria event or park ave lunch and you carry it off with your chanel dress, or from the late adolfo, bill blass, geoffrey beene. that isn't to say the perfume has a stuffed character. it is blasting promptly in your face with the cassis, rose and patchouli all in evenly dosages. it HAS that New York chic & boldness. move over fruitchoulis, nichiste strange as fuck narratives ("scent of a morgue", "scent of an imaginary abandoned space"), move over however so pure aqua's which I have ALWAYS loathed. here comes the DIVA perfume derived from her mothers poison, giorgio, knowing, obsession, nahema, fleurs de bulgarie, gem. this perfume has presence and like Diana Vreeland it could clear a room at order.

For now I'm removing this from my wish list because it was just too normal. I was expecting a niche type scent, but this is department store fare. Quite synthetic and the rose is nowhere to be found. Instead I get a brightly sweet creme de cassis on opening which is juicy and mouthwatering, but which quickly dries down to a safe, if pretty, and flat composition. There's not a lot of depth at all and if I smelled this on someone I wouldn't think twice to wonder what it was. The Ambre Russe in the same line was alright, but it smelled like a Chanel wannabe and the Absolutely Vital was quite nice a creamy jasmine sandalwood along with the Tubereose one. But they were just nice, nothing groundbreaking or daring, as one would expect from the namesake Diana Vreeland.
