Vaniteese

Emanating a nostalgic allure, this fragrance unfolds with a vintage lipstick blast and dewy powder trailing in its wake. Musky-ambrette orris root adorned with hints of spring flowers - lilac and mimosa. While it’s longevity may not be remarkable, akin to a gentle body mist, I wonder if a properly rested bottle will enhance its staying power. Nevertheless, the overall value is commendable considering the price and the olfactory narrative it weaves, reminiscent of a cherished makeup bag complete with lipstick and face powder. Its allure transcends the typical attributes associated with celebrity or designer fragrances, appealing particularly to enthusiasts of Dita Von Teese and/or vintage beauty in all of its forms admirers. All three new releases seamlessly encapsulate the essence of Dita’s aesthetics 💄💋

UPDATE 09/30/24: I purchased a sample through eBay, and Vaniteese is now available for purchase in the U.S. via Dita's website! I love this fragrance every bit as much as I thought I would, but it's a little pricey in my opinion, compared to what it is selling for overseas. It smells very much like Chanel's lovely new Comète, which is at the top of my wish list. I don't think I need both, but I do adore this one for sure! Oh, I can hardly wait to try this perfume!! Any advice from those in the U.S. who have used third party shippers?? @notoriousndgo @applejack78 I'd love to know what company you used. Thank you!

I'm the US, but was able to get this fragrance from a third party seller in France. This blind buy was 100% worth it. Vaniteese is lovely and feminine. The bottle definitely fits the fragrance. It's my introduction to the Dita Von Teese brand. It has a sweet, powdery, and floral make-up vibe like a dusting powder. Reminds me of a fragrance that a ballerina would have on her vanity.

The fragrance begins with sweet, powdery, and exceptionally dry notes. After two hours, it transforms into a more creamy scent. I would choose to wear this for a cozy and comforting experience at home, particularly after indulging in a lengthy bath. Its lasting power surpasses that of Victresse.

To me it is not like a lipstick perfume as other people say but more a powdery perfume like the ones from the make up, the vintage dusting and lose powders. It is totally matching with Dita’s image. And it is very elegant, niche and feminine too. I like the bottle, very retro :)
