Vanille Camouflage

I'm in love. So so good. It took me forever to pull the trigger. Okay, two days, which is forever when love at first sniff. The performance is quite....soft. The opening is very shortlived and I love the opening. I imagine It's not for everyone. Opening: Stems of greens, as realistic as it gets. If anyone told me freshy cut grass, he would get no argument from me. But the opening also contains vanilla sweetness and fuzzyness. The sweetness is like gypsy water's sweetness, maybe a hair less. It's there but not overly sweet which is why I love this so so much. The drydown reminds me of eau duelle. It's basicly the same soft woody non gourmand vanilla and I love it. (ISO e super or some variant) There is still some green left, but it's faint. The green stays put better on clothes, but still. The bottle is 295 EUR which is why it took me two days to pull the trigger. It's overpriced for it's performance. This is barely edt performance. Got a compliment today from a patiënt. He said I smelled cozy but also said (after I inquired about it) that it's very soft. The bottle is the prettiest bottle I have ever seen, but I agree with another reviewer, we're def paying for the pretty bottle as well. This should be about 100 EUR less. 50 if i'm optimistic. Still....happy I own it. Will probably repurchase. Never smelled Angelique Noir but imagine Aura by Mugler in niche version. So, not loud, but rounded and fluffy, no synthetic overly sweet greens but realistic stems and a soft cozy woody vanilla instead of vanilla extract for baking. Aura got me nausiated badly so gave that one away years ago. Too strong. Hope this helps. PS this is clean, no stinky musky ambermax/ambrofix base. Some additional info: when I smell the nozzle of Parisian Musc which I own and love (another love at first sniff) and the nozzle of Vanille Camouflage, they smell remarkably similar while they are quite different scents when worn. I think they share a similar green note and similar level of musky sweetness.

I received a sample of this with purchase from the DVN site. Wow does this open up green! Guerlain Angelique Noire, Celine Dans Paris, Chloe Vanille Planifolia, any other green vanilla you can think of- none of them come close. It is hyper realistic and, in my opinion, very beautiful. After about 10 or so minutes the overwhelmingly green aspects calm down and the vanilla is most prominent. I do continue to get a greenness in the background, especially if I move a hand or my nose comes close to any areas I spray directly. The majority of the time wearing this I got a woody powdery vanilla with a green touch. I would say this is totally unisex, not a gourmand vanilla but it does have a sweetness to it. I really enjoy this scent and will probably spring for a full bottle... this is the kind of scent family that I wear often. That being said it is definitely overpriced. If this is similar to a scent you may already have in your collection (I would say Celine Dans Paris is the closest that comes to mind for me), or a scent profile you don't reach for as often this could be easy to pass on. I also don't place as much importance on performance- but if that is something you are interested, I would say this is a lighter more intimate wearing perfume. I may hold off until this becomes available at the department stores and see if they have a promotion this holiday season.

I’m happy to report that the Dries Van Noten travel spray set appears to be back up on their site—I just ordered a set with this as one of my three sprays. I got a sample of this when ordering a full size of Soie Malaquais and have been obsessed with it since. It’s so soft and warm, and delicious without being sweet. It also kind of smells like unscented lotion, which I personally like. I see other people saying this smells very green, but I don’t get much of that. For me, it’s mostly soft vanilla spice, with that unscented lotion element in the background. If their full bottles weren’t so incredibly expensive, I would have gotten this in the full size. As it is, I’m happy to try this one for longer with a travel spray (alongside two favorites from the discovery set: Raving Rose and Rock the Myrrh). If I finish the spray, I’ll probably get the full size the next time my budget allows. I think I might like this one even more than Soie Malaquais. Also, I agree with the commenter below me who says we don’t need to give DVN any ideas about making the travel sprays more expensive. They are plenty expensive as is, if you ask me!

As a more mature woman in search of a summer scent which was neither citrus-forward nor masculine-leaning ( and no matter how often my favourite influencer Demi Rawling is raving about Louis Vuitton fragrances or Sospiro`s Vibrato they are not my thing) this one caught my attention. It is not a blind buy to be sure because of the price point (I was lucky to get it with a good discount code) but is definitively worth trying.The opening green notes are very refreshing,not harsh,the Galbanum being prominent in a good way.When the vanilla comes through the scent becomes truly beautiful because the vanilla here is full bodied and only slightly sweet and blends perfectly with the green notes.It is rounded by a smooth creamy sandalwood and has spicy balsamic undertones too.I wore it on a warm sunny late summer day for a long walk and could smell it all the time around me and the longevity is at leats 10 hours.I even got complemented at work from a colleague who doesn`t like sweet strong scents,she told me ,,this is the type of vanilla I like"...well, me too!

This is my favorite of the new 2024 releases. Green in the most beautiful way, as it is tempered by the fruit of fig and soft yet substantial florals. This is not a grassy green to my nose rather it is a soft green that melds with the vanilla. It’s fresh and lush. Beautiful. I loved it in all its phases with the beginning being my favorite as you catch distinctly all the facets of the scent. By the end you still feel the dimensions but they’ve melded together in a soft, somewhat green vanilla. I love it. Update: I wear Vanille Camouflage often. It’s easy to wear, delicious, and has a sex appeal (in a reserved way). Big thumbs up. My favorite DVN.

I've been holding on to a sample of this one for a while now... I sprayed it once and enjoyed the green straightaway but hadn't given this a proper wear until last night and today. The greens are out in force when you first apply this one for sure! Fig is present throughout on me, and the blend here is fantastic. Dry down is sooo smooth. Vanilla is uplifted by the greenness and intertwines with the wood. Not too sweet and one of the more unique interpretations of vanilla I've come across. I would also echo the sentiments below that this one is not blind buy safe. Skin chemistry will certainly play an impactful role as well.

Green and awkward opening that yields to a gorgeous dry down. After the initial spray I get traces of Debaser and Angelique Noir, however, as it dries down it goes in a totally different direction. Unlike AN and Debaser, Camoflauge Vanille has a weightiness to it that makes the vanilla feel indulgent and expensive. The ylang ylag adds a floral, slightly tropical touch. I probably wont add a full bottle to my collection since I already own AN, Iris Malikhan and Debaser but if a deal I couldn't refuse came across my plate, I would certainly add it to my collection.

think hotel room by montell and being on the cover of vogue. at first, the smell is rather confusing and rather off-putting for a few moments with the rather odd and earthy scent. but the dry down is when you realize there is something elusive and enchanting about this scent that leaves you wanting more. the smell of fresh, green vanilla leaves you feeling like a garden fairy in a hamptons beach house with how elegant, dainty, and luxurious it is.

I have a 10 ml bottle of this as I needed to be cautioned about the custom issues. (I got a big bottle of Jardin de l’Orangerie) However, this is a MUST HAVE. I will definetely be getting this in a full bottle soon This is the one and only fig scent I like. Green yet still so vanilla-y. Cypress is not that harsh on me, saying this as a sweet vanilla girly. I will be updating this review in days as I will discover the scent a bit more

Vanille Camouflage is the sweet green scent I’ve been longing for. A burst of bright fig and tender grassiness opens the air, fresh and dewy like a spring morning mist. Soon, it melts into a creamy, woody vanilla—subtle and perfectly sweet, never heavy. The greenness remains throughout. It’s a green vanilla masterpiece, its gentle sillage unfurling like a vine in bloom, wrapping the air around me in soft, fragrant tendrils.

Apparently dvn needs to retool their pricing bc a 10ml of their scents is only $28, which is a steal for their quality! Even Sephora stuff like kayali is $32! Anyway, this is a beautiful one, and I have a large collection so I don’t say that often anymore. It starts super green like philosykos or Debaser but dress touch a beautiful greenish herbal vanilla. SO beautiful. I got 2 10mls of this and 1 of the fleur de mal.

Oh man, this is one of the most beautiful perfumes I have smelled. Someone told me Debaser was similar and slightly cheaper so I tried a sample but Debaser smelled like turpentine when compared to this. Vanille camouflage just makes me so happy. It’s green and sweet and blended so smoothly

I am in awe, I am swooning for this... I did not realize I could enjoy a green fragrance, but alas, I am smitten!! The vanilla in this is so enveloping, all of the greenness is wrapped up in the smoothest vanilla, just nestled in the center of the dreamiest vanilla I've ever smelt.

Galbanum vanilla. It’s an elegant take on a green vanilla— though similar to Angelique noire, this is denser and less high pitched. It plays out darker yet not overpowering... The sandalwood adds a savoury chalky feeling to tone down the sweetness

Mowing your lawn clad in a white undershirt. Adding Sade to the playlist. Measuring cocktail bitters in lieu of vanilla extract. Lathered in Palmer’s cocoa butter. Puckered lips. The people’s fougère, if at all.

Smells like a full bodied version of Debaser with a decadent vanilla note. That’s the best way to describe this I think. I LOVE it.

A bright-green, stemmy vanilla from start to end. Beautiful, but one step behind the similar Chloe Vanilla Planifolia.

after a rather herbaceous opening, you gradually experience the vanilla that slowly seeps in.

first I smell freshly cut gras then comes the vanilla the resolve is a very green vanilla

I really like this. Where can I buy a bottle in the US? They have 10ml bottles too?
