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?

I respect the creativity and boldness in how this fragrance is put together and how it presents itself, but its just not for me personally. This fragrance is characterised by a very bitter, geeen and strong fig note from the opening, that mellows out a little further on into the wearing, but it still remains a key player among the notes, creamy Sandalwood and a subtle understated but sweet Vanilla join the fig, and that makes up the grand bulk of the scent for the rest of its wear, though in addition, there are some weird but fascinating nuances I get on my skin, mainly ambers in a way that smells sweet but only barely, and I also get a very faint smell that reminds me of trees and bushes(??) (if that makes sense? 😂). Longevity is sadly on the weaker side of DVN fragrances for me with, this only lasting around 6 hours at most, which I'd wager is in large part due to sacrifices made by the Perfumer to ensure the fig remained attached as long as possible, however the Sandalwood itself does longer for a few hours longer or so but it doesnt smell like the scent at all anymore by that point. I get a medium projection on my skin as well, with it making a fairly nice scent bubble and trail which seems to be a feature of DVN fragrances in lime with what ive tested so far. As for occasions I think this is purely a casual setting fragrance with it being good all year round except for hot and humid summer days, and to me comes off as spring oriented mainly. Perfectly unisex as well in my opinion but I can see an argument for it leaning slightly feminine due to the fig and Vanilla combo and how its done to an extent. In conclusion it's definitely interesting, and as a standalone fragrance through the lenses of art, and making something new with 'contradicting' yet complimentary elements (as seems to be the main pattern with DVN), I think it does a good job at being a standout, tho not entirely in a positive way, that being said, I dont mind it, but I can imagine liking it on a passer-by. 7.1/10

What a gorgeous vanilla. I immediately thought of Angelique Noir when I first tested this, even before looking at others reviews, so I had to try them side by side. "Vanille Camouflage | Dries Van Noten" is a very green scent with a less harsh, slightly sweeter, slightly brighter opening of Galbanum, mixed with a more pronounced Vanilla than Angelique Noir (but only in the beginning). As it drys down it still remains very green, with the Galbanum and Vanilla remaining the most prominent notes for me. The fig, cypress and sandalwood also emerge and sit lightly in the background. In the far dry down, the fig does become a little stronger making this scent a little more masculine leaning. Vanille Camouflage is also stronger in performance. It lasts longer and is more detectable than Angelique Noir, but it’s also that slight bit greener overall. "Angélique Noire | Guerlain" opens with a sharp burst of almost bitter greenness from the Angelica. The harshness does disappear quite quickly as it drys down, and it developed into a beautiful, soft, well balanced mix of Angelica and Vanilla. Here the Vanilla is more detectable than in Vanille Camouflage. Both fragrances are just as beautiful as each other, and perfect for spring or summer. To me the differences between both are very minimal. I personally favour Angelique Noir a little more, as the dry down is softer with more of a balance between the greenness and the Vanilla, however I do love both scents! If you own one of these fragrances, you definitely don’t need the other. Although If Vanille Camouflage was on sale, I’d probably still buy it. If you don’t own either, it’s definitely worth testing both.

Ok, blind buy for me. Definitely a solid scent for anyone along the gender spectrum. At the initial spritz I’m hit with a burst of VERY green and fresh galbanum (freshly cut grass, but in my case, without the nose tickles and sneezing) that instantly reminds me of a dewy Summer morning or Summer at dusk. I am getting touches of fig and sandalwood at the opening and middle too. However, I’m getting minimal vanilla to the point that it is almost nonexistent. It does have an ever so slightly sweet tinge to it on the dry down, like a powdery vanilla whisper. I’m truly confused as to the reason this has “Vanille” in the name. I do enjoy this and I purchased a FB. I DO NOT recommend blind buying though. This strikes me as a very unique fragrance that would not be mass appealing. You really have to love green and fresh scents because that’s pretty much all there is. Upon the DVN site’s recommendation, I made one of my 2 samples this scent so that I can return the unopened bottle for a refund if I needed to (they only accept unopened bottles). This is a pretty pricey fragrance. I think the originality, projection, and sillage make it price-worthy though. Again, I suspect only a small portion of those who sample this will immediately agree that it’s worth a FB. In addition to wearing in the obvious seasons of Spring and Summer, I can envision myself wearing this in the Winter as well, when I’m pining for a super fresh scent and missing the other seasons. The bottle and fragrance are masterpieces, which I fully appreciate.

Fresh, sweet, and herbaceously green. This might be the greenest perfume I've ever smelt. I went into this thinking this would be a vanilla scent, but this is a photorealistic green stem scent. As soon as I laid my nose on this, I understood the "camouflage" part of Vanille Camouflage. The vanilla is very well hidden lol. Vanille Camouflage, to me, smells like a bundle of fresh cut stems with some added sweetness. It's really interesting that they made a scent that's so realistic, yet still fantastical. At first, the scent is so fresh and green, it almost smells alive. It's like if you mowed the lawn, picked some flowers, and then trimmed some green beans, and the smell is on your hands. As it dries down, the fresh stem scent fades, and the sweet vanilla becomes more present. And that's where it stays for the rest of it's time. Overall, I really like this scent, and it would probably be great for spring. However, I might like the idea of it more than I like actually wearing it. The scent story kinda reminds me of an AI generated picture -- There's a lush jungle with freshly manicured plants. It's beautiful, green, and in high definition. It reminds you so much of some place you've seen/been before, but the longer you look and try to place it, the more you realize that it's too perfect & too enhanced to be from the real world.

a very green vanilla, true to the name! my initial spritz was very stemmy and green but those base notes shine through FAST! this is almost a sweet, woodier take on debaser if i had to compare, but i feel like this has similarities to another fig perfume i can't name right now. i was hoping this could be philosykos and lilyphea's lovechild by the notes, perhaps, but i think this is very pretty in its own right. maybe it's more of a woodland fairy if lilyphea is a pond fairy?

This is debaser with vanilla minus the coconut. The vanilla isn’t sweet it’s green. If you enjoy debaser or Eau Duelle you will likely enjoy this.

If there were something in this world that smells better than this I would not believe it.

I know it's the cypress, but it's like I'm chopping parsley for a salad, that's what the opening is like to my nose. After 5-10 mins it's toned down, still retains the greenness throughout, but much more pleasant. It really is a camouflaged vanilla as it dries down, a bit creamy even in the base. Low projection and longevity on me, the skin isn't oily even after immediate application... I see the comparisons with Angelique Noir, but this one is less green and toned down and the vanilla in AN is much better. PS. I tested almost all from DVN, but I feel like after Dries left the company, the perfume quality went down a lot. These new releases feel like a cash grab to me, in no way deserving the prices. I'll stick with Rock the Myrrh.

The opening on this is beautiful. The galbanum is green and fresh, then a sweet vanilla comes in. This isn’t too sweet, which is great. It’s very likable and I think most people will enjoy this scent. My problems come in once the galbanum fades — which is within minutes of applying the scent. All the green comes and goes very quickly and I am left with a sweet vanilla scent. It isn’t bad, but it’s just vanilla. It has no projection and as time passes even the vanilla has mostly faded away into a more resinous scent. That could be nice, except that the smell is almost non existent at that point. By 3 hours of wear it’s gone, which is crazy considering the $340.00 price tag.

Doesn't smell like Angelique Noire to me either. Green, like the trees that grow around the Mediterranean, kinda soft salty green and that woody smell. The vanilla isn't that sweet to me but vanilla always gives a bit of sweetness. I love galbanum, love the bitter green but it smells off here. I like Sylvaine Delecourte's Virgile better than this one, it's more aromatic than green and I'd say that this one is too. It's pretty but the amberwood gets me in the base, muddling everything. I love the bottle, which is why I tried in the first place.

To be honest, I got excited when I looked at its notes. At last, I came across it the other day and had the chance to try it. The green note is a lovely opening as well. The quality is high. Just when I was thinking it might be worth buying after about an hour, as it moved into the second hour the vanilla and benzoin started to show themselves, but the perfume suddenly turned into the exact smell of Little Trees’ Vanillaroma car freshener. What a shame! And on top of that, they’re asking for absurd prices.

It is too green for my liking, not a refreshing green scent but rather an unpleasantly green on my skin. It’s nothing like Angelique Noire which is so smooth and soft.

I have a few Dries Van Noten fragrances that I absolutely love. I immediately purchased a full bottle of "Soie Malaquais" after obtaining a generous sample decant. I also love "Jardin de L'Orangerie." And the porcelain & glass bottles are gorgeous. But Vanille Camouflage is just a no. This is not what comes to mind (I think) when most people envision a vanilla-centric fragrance. I struggle to smell any vanilla, top-to-bottom. The entire perfume wears extremely bitter & sour. I find the combination of the galbanum, fig, mastic and yang-ylang extremely off-putting. Vanille Camouflage is not at all a sweet fragrance...not even close. The combination of green (unripe) fig, galbanum and cypress make the opening extremely green, earthy, vegetal, dank and sour. And unfortunately, on my skin little changes as the perfume wears throughout. Bitter, cold, acrid, green is how I describe this fragrance. Definitely not a "beginners" fragrance. Not at all a safe blind-buy. But I can see this working for someone with a much more refined sense of fragrance than what I possess.

The way I was so impressed by the opening it was an automatic love and want...until it dried down, then the galbanum ruined everything. All of a sudden it went from a beautiful cypress-fig-vanilla to this bitter, smelly galbanum that overpowered every other notes and I couldn’t believe this was the same scent, I really had to wash it off. I’m actually so sad, especially after I tried Camomille Satin and loved it to bits. I wanna give this another chance at some point but in the meantime I will still be reeling...

This was advertised to me as a sweet green scent with fig, so I was sure I was going to love this. And you know, I guess the advertising wasn't incorrect, I just hate it. The opening is like a slap-you-in-the-face fluorescent green. A smell never found in nature. Ultimately this smells like ripped leaves, the ones that have that funky sour smell, and squashed caterpillars. And then that's in constant battle with an incredibly sweet cloying vanilla.

It smells like a salad that contains parsley and lemon dressing 🥗 The vanilla note is barely detectable. Definitely not a safe blind buy!

An elegant beautiful unique interpretation of a Green Vanilla. She's elegant, a tad serious and grown up but in a great way. she is not airy, she is full, heavy and strong ! That mastique and fig are the mature notes in the blend. Sapiently done, this perfume tells a story. I'm in vacation in a beautiful historical old building turned into airbnb, i open a wood carved beautiful window and the sun of ad advanced spring ( almost into summer ) enters like a tsunami in my room and covers me head to toe. I feel the warmth, i sense the succulent flowers aroma slapping me with their pungent sweet decadence and i love it. Some bitter greenery also in the background from the outside garden / forest. The ylang Ylang, cypress and vanilla make out to give for a short time "that plasticky" feeling but in the best of ways. There is a heavy powderyness that gives it a mature identity. on my skin it disappears fast , intensity leaves by 80% within 10 minutes. 20% of it remains but it changes into a completely different story, so you lose the greenness . It remains an absolutely elegant expression of finesse in Perfumery . Unisex in the drydown but not less sweet, just more ambery and masculine . And to my surprise one last evolution before stabilizing: amber dissipates and it becomes a lactonic vanilla with a touch of creamy sandalwood. She's timid , less strong then her evolution ( or then i would like ) but i love her ! OH MY ! GORGEOUS SUPRISE ! Very very unique and beautiful take on Vanilla. I wish it never disappeared 9.8/10!!! she's wonderful but her loud part disappears soon. It does leaves a skin deep vanilla. But even that fleets after 3 hours. Still love her.

SO GREEN. So figgy. So sandalwoody. At first, I felt misdirected by the label on the sample that said, "Vanilla & Galbanum." Then, I was hooked. Seduced, if you will. This kicks off so intensely green. Between the sandalwood and fig, it's hard to make out much else. I was immediately surprised by how bright this was for a woody vanilla fragrance. The fig note is utterly gorgeous and brings this fragrance to life. It reminded me of a few fragrances from DS&Durga which contain fig and sandalwood. Though I've always enjoyed fig notes, I've never been as enchanted by one as I was with this fragrance. After I had processed the greenery, I started thinking there might be spicy woods in the mix. The sandalwood is strong but there's a warm intensity that I usually associate with spices, which might actually be coming from some of the resinous/balsamic notes that I'm less familiar with. Finally, this settled into some of the sweetness from the vanilla. It's hard to decipher at first because it's not the star of the show, but it's there providing some balance to the sandalwood and fig. I think if this was more vanilla forward I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but as fig and sandalwood don't typically wear well on my skin, I think I'm going to have to cherish this from afar. One day when I afford to be even more frivolous with my money than I am now, I'd love to buy this as a room spray.

Wow this is really pretty, but the green grassy aspect is really quite strong. The wafts I get from a distance are more vanillic and soft, but if I sniff my wrist up close I feel like I've just stuck my head in the grass. I can't decide yet if its too green for me, or if I love this fragrance lol. I'm on the fence about it. The vanilla in this is soft almost a little play doh ish. It's not an edible vanilla type of scent. I really really like the fig in this, and usually I don't care for fig. Aside from the intensity of the greens, all the notes mesh remarkably well together. It's hard to pick them apart from each other. So far I haven't found a Dries Van Noten fragrance for my personal taste, but all of them that I've smelled are remarkably well done and smell very expensive and niche. This one included. I haven't been wearing it long, so perhaps the green aspects will fade a little, and this will be a love for me.

I was so excited to receive a decant in the mail today. Within the first few seconds of spraying, it reminded me of leshy stems of Canna lilys, the clean washed roots of certain herbaceous plants, a fleeting whiff of green pepper seeds that's still attached to its vines well before it turns red and "peppery" and the bulb of roses. Somehow, all of this is done with a soft touch, a blended balance. Now I know what people meant when they said it smells green, it is green in the prettiest of ways and not due to any tonic apothecary hints ( I love these as well). A lot of folks mentioned that it takes a while for the primary greens to fade, on me, I can still smell the greens 15 minutes in but boy has that Vanilla blossomed; so much so that it is sweet, like I buried my face in a box of fresh madeleines. I almost want to say it smells sugary sweet. It brings on the best feelings. This is such a lovely composition.

Upon first sniff, I was instantly reminded of Angelique Noire by Guerlain, only much greener. Which makes complete sense, being that there is cypress, galbanum and fig in the top notes. Fig may not immediately strike you as green, but it has green tendencies. So, you have probably gathered that Vanille Camouflage opens up green, but there is a presence of vanilla from the very beginning. What you're left with hours into the day is a soft, subtly resinous vanilla-sandalwood. Is it still green? Those top notes become elusive, but still there. Mostly, I am picking up vanilla and sandalwood. That same vanilla-sandalwood entity found in Commodity Gold. Sweet, woody, warm, spicy, powdery, aromatic. Ultimately, this is a green vanilla. Exploring the house of Dries Van Noten has been nothing short of gratifying.

The idea is intriguing but not very interestingly composed. Literal galbanum and vanilla, sitting side by side, never truly interacting with the other. Vanilla Camouflage bears similarities to Angelique Noire in that it is a pure vanilla paired with something very stemmy and green (in the latter's case, angelica). But it seems there was no attempt to make it into a cohesive blend, or greater than the sum of its parts. It's as if you just left a bottle of vanilla absolute and galbanum eo sitting right next to each other. There's an inventiveness here, but it needed more development.

I love the opening of this which is sharp and green from the fig and galbanum. However, the dry down really let me down. There's something very powdery and mature about the middle dry down that is not appealing. It's heavy and not fresh, weirdly reminds me of thick, heady white florals, gardenia particularly. The late dry down does yield a very pleasant vanilla that is not overly sweet, but I don't think it's worth the mature and unpleasant middle.

This is so green when you first spray it. It takes a long while for that green to calm down, but when it does it reminds me of this body spray I used by pure romance back in the day. Obviously higher quality, but there is a nice, rich vanilla in there that you have to wait quite a while into the dry down for. In the first hour or two, it actually smells really masculine, and then I felt like it turned a little more feminine on me, which was nice.

Beautiful bottles in this line, really it’s just more designer/niche that is very over priced for generic designer level fragrances. This IS however an interesting vanilla fragrance. Cool galbanum and vanilla blend. Seems to be a bit of a trend coming up, I dig it. If you have the budget, definitely. I’d personally rather get an Amouage, Chanel or Guerlain but these aren’t horrid, just don’t let the bottles get you into blind buying them lol 6/10

Very attractive green vanilla. The scent dna of DVN is kind of boozy, which works really well here, but I get how people think it’s too sour. You’re slapped with a salty sea breeze and it picks up your petticoat as you wrestle through a thick cyprus bush. Trying to reach the fluffy white rabbit that just escaped you... your peripheral becomes a haze of emerald. You stumble back to bed with your milk and brandy. Was it all a dream?

What a genuine true treat. This reminds me SO much of Mélilot from L'Occitane - it's the grassy vegetal galbanum up the top but I think the way the green vanilla is worked here in this DVN sits very similarly to the sweet clover in the L'Occitane. Not something I can see myself craving a full bottle of, but I am very thankful for my little 10ml sample to get me through the winter. Very charming fragrance.

Interesting take on vanilla. The scent opens very green but this becomes less prominent as the fragrance dries down and the vanilla comes forward. I don’t think I’ve encountered a similar take on vanilla before, it takes some time getting used to. I personally would not wear this but I can definitely appreciate this on someone else. Unique, high quality scent.

Beautiful scent. Diptyque's Philosykos made feminine. It's barely vanillic, I could've sworn the driving force here was some kind of cassis note. Juicy, fruity, green on a very subtly creamy bed. Super pleasant. And like most of the fragrances in this line, unusual, experimental and a little weird; and sadly, difficult to remember after a while.

opens up bitterly green with very light hints of vanilla. i expected the green in this to be fresh, but it was earthy. you have to give the vanilla time to shine as it's muted in the initial performance of this perfume. there is an almost oud-like accord to this. heavier than i expected. wouldn't wear this.
