Want

OMG! I love it already! After one day of wearing I'm in love! We'll see if it will last the day after, but I think it will be a "yes". What's so special here? Nothing new really, but for once it was well made. Exactly as for Dior J'adore L'absolu: what's new? Nothing new but well made. At least to my nose. I already had Hermes 24 Faubourg EdT (and a vague residue of Charlie Red) on one wrist, a classy scent and not so dry, but it immediately became dry compared to Want. So I tried to remove 24 F. and enjoy Want, not on the same spot, of course. Oh, well, I gave myself a good dose from the weird tester... Let's talk about the bottle: a garden ball lamp that called me from 3 meters afar while scanning the shelves. From a close distance it looked more like a portable Moon on a golden stand. The flashy cap is heavyyy! I'm not a fan of Dsquared2 and didn't like their previous fragrances. Way too mainstream and harsh. I thought: "Ok, let's give this one a try, just for reference" I was hooked and immediately reminded of something else. It smelled familiar. For me it's a similar scent with Dior J'adore L'absolu, both for the rose and the vanilla absolute, even if Want is more charged on vanilla. I get the similarities with YSL Cinema (which I dislike for some notes that turned bad on me), but I also get a hint of old Poison in the purple bottle, the EdT from '80s. And, believe it or not, I smell a vague hint of Impulse Spice Girls deospray. I sprayed too much, but I was walking in the mall like in heaven. I'm quite known for being a candy-hater and generally not a lover of gourmands, but I enjoy semi-gourmand when matched with luscious florals. Now, Want is on the borderline. You can definetely smell flowers and especially the rose, but vanilla is strong and a bit overpowering. I wish it was more oriental floral, but if a flaw exists here is the usual one: vanilla used as a drydown without good woods to tame "her". Those "woody notes" tell me nothing. All in all Want is a vanillic gourmand (forget about the grand orientals of the past in 2015), but I believe that I can tell one vanilla from another. I love the absolute and literally loathe all those candy factory vanillas around that make all wearers smell as if they just rolled among the shelves of a 1 euro candy shop. In my nose there is a fine line dividing the good and the bad vanillas. Want falls in the good side for a whim. It's longlasting for sure, sillage is average. The ad is so ugly. I'm glad I didn't see it in advance. Edit: after a whole day it went into the morning after directly on skin. Yes, it is longlasting, even if the part that lasts so long is pure vanilla in a synthetic way, quite similar to Monotheme Vanilla Blossom, which I like as a happy mood lifting scent. Sorry, I made a mistake. I wrote that Wanr smells similar to Dior J'adore L'absolu for its vanilla absolute, but I really meant Dior J'adore L'Or. Too many flankers twisted my brain.

This is a GOR-GE-OUS vanilla fragrance! It is extremely warm and sensual to me, and is enough to satisfy my craving for Kenzo Amour. In fact....I think I prefer this to that. It is such a rich, pure vanilla, with some beautiful woody notes to ground it. It's not an edible sweet sugary vanilla really, but more of the vanilla extract type of scent. Bit more serious and ladylike. I think I smell the sweetness from the rose and orange...maybe some of the ginger as well? Though I think the ginger here is slightly more subdued by the pink pepper, which contributes greatly to this as being a sexy scent. My bf really likes this and he's really picky with fragrance. I absolutely love this, so much so that I got the Pink/Ginger flanker of it immediately after I got this (will do a separate review on that, but simply put it's a more refreshing spin on Want). This one is so rich and deep, that I kind of want to say it's balsamic even though that's not listed in the accords. It also lasts a long time on the skin and clothes, I'd say about 5 hours of good silage before it starts to settle down. So beautifully blended and smells rich and luxurious! I just love it (can you tell?). If you can find it, by all means do test it out :)

I know I've already posted my comment about want,but now that I'm in this page,I can't pass it without saying again that how much I love want...it is the best natural smelling vanilla,powdery,soft,ice creamy but not cold I'm almost easy going about perfumes and it's really easy to please me,but want it the only perfume among more than a 100 perfumes I own that I always want it,I'm always eager to smell it,even sniffing it's cool cap makes me satisfied,but as much as I sniff I feel I can't get enough of it,I'm addicted to want The scent is familiar but I'm sure I've never smelled any fragrance like this,it doesn't smell like a perfume,yet I find it that much delicious that I want to lick my wrist when I apply it,it's amazingly delicious without smelling like a piece of cake..it's cozy in cold temp and cooling in heat..this is a very different vanilla scent In my previous review I said Longevity is good and sillage is moderate,now I've find out that Longevity is great,and sillage is not cloying but noticeable for everyone even not that close to you..just two sprays is enough to relax all day in this delicious creamy heaven There is just one big problem,I prefer to drink it or bath in it,more than wearing it ❤❤❤❤❤

I am in love with this one... owned a bottle from 5 years ago... and the juice color became super dark and the scent event becoming richer and deeper... I even already have 2 back up bottles, knowing that this gorgeous cheapy already discontinued... Its underrated,, waayyy below the radar... Sad.... Actually this perfume offers a very great scent, expensive smelling powdery vanilla with perfect spiciness, the performance also 8/10 for me (considering the price range) and it has a super cute bottle... Its perfect for warm weather but not cloying to wear on sunny day... TBH, now I am thinking about ot the vanillic character somehow reminds me on Guerlain Angelique Noire 😅 only remind me of... I guess the heliotrope is the one that play the powdery character... the vanilla is far away from being gourmand-ish... the woody notes and the ginger giving the perfect warmth to it... I am in love... yet sad because its been discontinued

I've really been enjoying my sample. It's hard for me to explain individual notes on this one, it feels like a fluffy vanilla cloud with a tiny bit of spice from the ginger and pepper. To my nose, it's very similar to Kenzo Amour but with a wood note added to the base. It feels like a sibling of Amour and What We Do In Paris Is Secret. I'm not smelling any rose or citrus. It's fluffy vanilla with that fuzzy feeling that heliotrope can add. It's very sweet but the woods anchors it well. I think I'm gonna need a FB of this. I find scents like this to be very comforting and if you like the others I mentioned, I'm pretty sure you will like this. Edit: I've been wearing this a lot. It continues to be a comforting, fuzzy blanket of vanilla, and I get at least 6-7 hours out of it. Most perfumes evaporate on me much quicker. Sillage is good, my husband can smell it when I enter the room. High praise for the fluffy cocoon.

As soon as I tested want,I wanted it.it was love at first sniff and as time passes I love it more.it reminds me a delicious home made vanilla ice cream It has everything I love in a perfume,creamy delicious spicy vanilla,soft powdered with a fresh flowery undertone and a touch of woods in dry down It's not a generic vanilla scent,also not cloying and supersweet,there are lovely florals here,adding freshness and powders to the combination.there are also spices here,preventing want from turning to a childish gourmand,it's young but not girly.it's sensual,delicious and naughty Best season for it is autumn, but is wearable all around the year.its also really long-lasting with moderate spillage.I also love it's unique bottle with it's big round cap..my only regret is buying 1.7 Oz bottle.no doubt i'm going to need another bottle

Today i've tried the sample,tomorrow i'm buying the 100ml bottle.That simple! Edit*** i got it,i got it,oh and i love it!First the bottle is wonderfull,that nude colour of the ball form cap is amazing,never seen such a big end cap haha,is so heavy but also different.and the perfume,oh my the scent,is absolutely delicious,warm and sweet and just a bit of floral mixed with the main vanilla note.I would wear it all day long being winter,but will def give it a try in summer just to see if it goes ok with the heat.Great longevity ,the sillage i should wait a bit to say cause i told mom i got my new perfume and even though she was in front of me she reached out to smell my neck...it was just a puff but even so,couldn't quite get why she cannot sense it.will edit that soon too.Anyway get it guys,well worths it!

I do adore this, it's a dreamy, very powdery vanilla that exudes calmness and coziness, it is a stunning perfume. I can see me wearing this lounging on my bed when i'm in my pj's after a soak in the bath as it does make you feel so very cozy. It's a very real vanilla, like smelling vanilla essence as you pour it into cake batter, and the heliotrope is beautiful, such a soft smelling flower. I don't detect any ginger or rose and the neroli is quite faint, but the woods shine through, giving it such depth and warmth. I wasn't too sure about the longevity when I first wore it, it seemed quite weak, but for some reason it lasts a lot longer now and smells heavier too! All round, a lovely perfume, perfect for this time of year.

Love at first sniff! Not new, but it is a perfect feminine fragrance. Balanced. Not gourmand, but sweet, and fluffy vanilla. Not girlie but very pretty. Not edible but it fulfills your heart and soul. Not too sophisticated in a complicated way, but has fresh, kind,young and brave aura. If you like Lacoste pour femme, or liked Trussardi Inside you will like this one. It is sooooo good!!!! After a little time it became better and better!!! I can detect some rose, the clean, spicy, modern rose!!! Ohh! And the last surprise is the drydown! Like the cheerful goldengirl Max Mara gingery light, sweet gleaming. Wonderful!!! Everything in one fragrance I have appreciated in my - some sadly discontinued- favorit parfumes.

Sadly it's discontinued, but I found it yesterday in a perfume shop near my house ... And it was on sale!!! 😍 So, for me it isn't a vanilla perfume; it's more complex, it'a a sweet floral scent, with a powdery, vanillic undertone. I can't smell any similarity with Kenzo Amour; it rather seems to me like a lovely son of Flower Kenzo and Tresor Lancome, with extra vanilla and powdery notes! It's so beautiful and long lasting, it's suits so well my tastes right now. I'm so happy to have found a 50 ml bottle of this one ❤️.

I've wanted this for so long. I recently got it. Well it is a huge vanilla. My first impression was Kenzo amour. It smells a lot like amour. But as I kept wearing it, I realized that it also differs in some aspects. Basically think thick milky vanilla of amour, add rose oil and violet, you get dsquared want. At first it was a like but the more I wear it, the more I love it. I get no ginger actually. Really smooth and comforting. It is quite long lasting and has an impressive sillage.

I used to wear it everyday at university and some people would get pissed and others would wait for me just to smell me😂it is pretty strong on me and I love both that one and of course Pink ginger 👌 these two are like my secret weapon when I want to get noticed the silage is amazing I literally fill a room and people know where I am in the building(I'm not going to be dramatic when I say the elevator smells like me for at least half an hour)

I wouldn't say the main note is vanilla here, and I don't consider it a gourmand: it seems to me like a cross between Tresor Lancome and Flowers Kenzo, of course with an extra twist of vanilla and heliotrope. So for me it's a rose-vanilla scent, very powdery, romantic and somehow nostalgic. I love it, it's simply so "me" :)

I have a decant from the shop of this one; at first spray I disliked it, but then I was impressed on how much good it is. Also, performance on me is good, 4hours! I recommend this one but I don't consider it a safe blind buy. By wearing this perfume, it was the first time I got compliments ✨

Vanilla heaven. The dry down is gorgeous! The vanilla reminds me of those small vanilla sugar packages that you add into your batter when you make a cake. Its my winter scent and strangely...i get a lot of compliments when i wear it and even ask what perfume it is...

Saw the notes, decided to buy. Not disappointed. Sophisticated, warm and powdery vanilla, not a sticky-trashy version of it. Noticeable by the crowd. I wear it during winter but also on summer nights, I like how it lays on hot skin.

It's a gorgeous and sensual perfume! At this moment my favourite! The notes are wonderful, but the formulation is really incredible. You wouldn't guess it from the notes selection, but this really is a beautiful masterpiece!

so... if you love a rich vanilla perfume this is it. strong rich vanilla, that stays on you all day long and night and maybe the other day... it is lovely i like it, not love, but sure a big like~

Feminine and soft, beautiful rose, heliotrope and vanilla. If you like powdery-vanilla scents, this is amazing.

Simply gorgeous! Long last vanilla mix that stands out! So womanly sexy and cozy wrapped in one!

I was lucky enough to get several testers of this. I've been giving Want a shot for several days now and I quite like it. I'm rather surprised that it is considered an oriental floral as to my nose it mostly smells of soft, powdery vanilla. I consider this a 'transition' fragrance; perfect for the mediocre and sometimes rainy weather of spring and autumn. It's too powdery and comforting for summer, and not loud enough for winter. Citrus? No, unless you count the slight citrus vibe you get when you put your nose right next to your skin within the first hour of spraying it. The citrus doesn't project at all. Vannila? Very much so, but not the loud, gourmandy vanilla that we usually smell in todays perfumes. Instead, it smells rather powdery and clean. It's really nicely blended with the woodsy and floral notes. Unlike lilymorena I didn't get any coffee or tobacco from this. Be cautious about spraying this on clothes, as it left yellow stains on my white shirt. The sillage is soft to moderate. The lasting power really surprised me. I could still smell it after 10 hours. Overall I would describe this as a comfort scent or one for confident women who don't feel the need to flaunt their confidence by walking around snapping their fingers and making sassy remarks. This is quiet confidence, a relaxed state of mind that everything is under control.

I know for a fact that this review might get deleted, but I just made a revelation today about this fragrance. It smells very very similar to my sample of Angelique Noire by Guerlain. The buttery vanilla scent is there only this sample is going a bit sour/off because there is very little left in my spray vial. However I still remember how this scent smelled a few months back and when I applied my sample of AN I was hit with a wave a familiarity like "I've smelled this recently". And it was this! I remember because when I tested this I was taken back by how buttery it was. Testing the two side by side I can tell that the Guerlain is made with better quality ingredients, the vanilla richer and creamier, tamed with calming smoothness of Angelica , while this is more powdery due to the rose, but their scent profile is the same. I would rather own the Angelique Noire of course, but I can afford a bottle of Want much easier so after my no-buy resolution has passed, I intend to pick up a bottle of this scent. ...And maybe a decant of Angelique wouldn't hurt! PS: Want preforms better I got a solid 8 hours with moderate sillage. The Angelique Noire starts strong but dies down after a few hours, then fades completely. I’m starting to think I’ll be happy enough with just this one.

bit of a cold, grey crisis here, so getting my paws on every inexpensive and “fun” sweet concoction I can, Want being something I just discovered, as I don’t like anything else that DSquared does. She Wood has a gorgeous bottle, love contemporary design using wood, can’t stand the scent. Want opens with a blast of The Body Shop’s Ananya, which is a spicy, vanilla-rose, and calms to an honestly pretty darn good vanilla, although I like my Le Couvant des Mihimes better for affordable vanilla to spray with abandon. It’s a solid like, but not something I’d miss if something happened to the huge (HUGE) billiard-ball-topped bottle. It would’ve been better to buy the smallest size, because the top for the 100ml bottle is enormous, but I’ve got it in my head that only a few bucks more, and more product for the money is always better...yeah, retailers and marketing people see me coming a mile away. I know that bottle tops will get a bit bigger the bigger the bottle is, but let me tell you, there just isn’t an aesthetically pleasing place to put this, although perhaps with the heiniousities that are my Adam Levine and Purple Silences bottles. The ivory shot-put, the purple-Frisbee-hockey puck, and the microphone...

I am not sure I WANT it, but for sure it's a new and nice child in the vanillic familly. I am between this and Paco Rabanne's Olympea. It's a pretty scent, vanillic, conforming, airy, feminine because of the soft woods and it takes time to shine. This is it's magic. It takes time to evolve on your skin and it's sillage is good, although it stays closer to the skin. Lasting power isn't that good but fans of DSQ2 will love it. I can't find the oriental character they say it has, but for sure there is a light sour synthetic vanillic tone and a heavy loudless spiciness if that makes sense, only in the beginning. When I first sprayed I couldn't smell of anything, after a few minutes I finally got it. For me it could be a safe perfume for work as well as for a night out. Definitely a younger crowds pleaser without a generic taste for sickly sweet perfumes. All in all, elegant but playful. Like when we suck a lollipop, it doesn't have the greatest fullness of taste but we keep sucking it. Keep it simple, a nice "lollipop" with mute strenght and heavenly addicting dry down. Can't wait to give it a second chance.

As a gourmand lover, I had to try also this! And I'm glad I did! Well, in a few words, Dsquared Want is a powdery vanilla fragrance. When I first spray I smell the most wonderful natural vanilla smell ever!After a few minutes I also detect something powdery,velvety,airy. That should be the heliotrope. At the drydown phase of the fragrance I smell a bit of woods but still powdery-vanillary. So,this is a must-smell fragrance for us who love sweet scents. You won't be dissapointed. Very nice for everyday wear,even at office. It's not sickening sweet. The woods and powdery notes balance out the sweetness. This will be my everyday go-to scent for fall. Very nice longevity and satisfying sillage.Highly recommend it! Love the bottle!

As a powder lover with a huge soft spot for vanilla, this one is right up my street. It reminds me of a mixture of some other fragrances, all of which I have...but I still think this one is 100% worth owning. The first few minutes of wear are very reminiscent of Mancera Roses Vanille - a bombastic, spicy saffron-rose-vanilla dessert. As it dries down, it has more in common with Lalique Satine or Vivienne Westwood’s Naughty Alice - warm, powdery, woodsy vanilla. Further in to the dry down it becomes a cosy, vanilla pudding in the vein of Kenzo Amour. I love all of those perfumes, so to experience 4-in-1 for such a low price? No brainer. This is going to be a winter favourite for me.

It's not a bad fragrance. I own pink ginger, which in my eyes (to my nose) is much more enjoyable. Any time I could reach for this, pink ginger is always preferable. Therefore, the only time it ever gets any love is when I'm trying to force myself to enjoy it more. But every time, I can't help thinking about how pink ginger is much better...edit: I agree with the above reviewer, somehow this is gourmand and soapy! Normally I love Rose but maybe it's the rose in this combo that amps up the soapiness. Pink ginger doesn't have that soapy note, and is more gourmand.

I agree with objections below, this is very much Roses dipped in icing sugar to me with vanilla and heliotrope mixed in, I get no wood at all surprisingly , or any of the other notes for that matter. It’s mellow and smooth and cozy, with moderate sillage and longevity, a good versatile one to wear which wouldn’t shout or offend anyone. Reading all the reviews below I find it so interesting how different it comes across on people’s skin. It’s very much a cold weather scent, casual and feminine- and I believe it has recently been discontinued .

Wow, I didn't expect this one to be so good! On my skin it opens up with the most luscious rose I've ever smelled, which slowly fades into powdery heliotrope scent with a small pinch of sweet vanilla. It is very soft skin scent, quite youthful but vintage vibe at the same time, if it makes any sense. Reminds me of a beautiful woman. And it's quite cheap indeed, so definitely a good value for your money. Just the lid is quite ridiculous, in my opinion.

Strong powdery vanilla. Actually a little bit too strong and powdery for my taste, first time I sampled it it gave me a headache. Much better on my second trying, with just a couple of little dabs. To my nose it's very similar to Flower by Kenzo L'Elixir. The latter is less in your face, it's also a tad sweeter and fruitier so I prefer it to Want.

The bottle looks way expensive in real than in the ad, i loooove the bottle, i can buy it just by looking at it. And it is so heavy, makes it so expensive looking. And the scent, the scent is soft vanilla not cloying like Britney Fantasy which makes me hate vanilla. But this one is a Love from me, very elegant sweet smelling vanilla.

Very, very good! Spicy and sweet perfume, perfect for Christmas time. I sense vanilla very strongly, there's also some rose, ginger and wood. I think it's oriental smelling and very nice. It's so edible smelling, I think of tea with spices and ginger, when I'm smelling it. A great possible Christmas gift.

this opens up with a lot of vanilla with some orange and pink pepper. after a few minutes i get some rose and some woods. ultimately it dries down to a vanilla-rose with some peppery woody notes. i like this, it's simple and uncomplicated, but a really nice scent, especially for spring.

After several uses I've seen that definitely vanilla plays a great role in the drying). Vanilla linked to a slight Woody touch. For me this perfume makes the olfactory journey from Balsamic and spicy, creamy pink with a finishing touch of vanilla very subtly Woody.

This is such a full and beautiful scent. Delicious vanilla syrup drenched rose petals, powdery clean violets, a touch of spice and rich woods. The bottle is extremely heavy and could be used as a lethal weapon in a pinch.

Soft, fairly intimate scent, gentle vanilla, a little flowers, very soft blonde woods but no pencil shavings , similar sort of feel to Estée Lauder Sensuous or Lancome Tresor. Gets stronger the longer you wear it

This smells like an expensiver and more potent version of Meow by Katy Perry. The only note i can smell is vanilla, but a very nice and natural one. A safe blind buy for people who like sweet fragrances.

I like the bottle it is quirky and looks cool amongst my collection. This is surprisingly a really nice vanilla, just doesn't last on my skin as it is super affordable I do not mind respraying.

Something new at home 🌧️🍂🍁 beautiful autumn vanilla cake 🥧 I can imagine wearing it during Christmas 🎄🎁

gilry version of Sí girogio armani. long lasting with a good silage. I love it.

I adore this, it smells like vanilla essence! Girly and sweet.

It's interesting how different our perception of the same perfume can be. And/or how differently it behaves on our skin. This is definitely not a straight up vanilla on me!!! What I smell from the bottle is pretty much how it smells on my skin too. There is a sharpness and spicyness there that lasts and lasts. That spicyness gets more subtle in time, but I sprayed it about 4 hours ago and there are still traces of it there. I actually get quite a bit of a citrus twist (the mandarine could just as well be lemon to my nose), and I really enjoy that. Heliotrope, pepper, citrus, rose and vanilla. Quite linear, just gets a bit more mellow with time I see that Kenzo Amor has been mentioned a lot of times in the reviews. I do get the comparison, they have a few similarities, but the two are very different scents imo. I really, really like this. And it's a lot more unique and quirky than I expected. A happy blind buy based on your reviews! EDIT: this scent changes a lot on warm skin! I was cleaning the house like a maniac the other day and when I finally finished and sat down I was hot, Want smelled so differently than what it normally does on my cool skin, it smelled dominantly of heliotrope and vanilla! Will definitely try this during summer 😊

Blind buy for me. I was super confident I would adore Want. So confident I ordered 2 x 100ml bottles. Stupid me. Fail !! Very powdery heliotrope vanilla which should be gorgeous but its just wrong on me. The vanilla is like a vanilla extract concentrate which is good but doesnt work with the heliotrope, which is a note I usually love. Its slightly medicinal which isnt necessarily a bad thing but the whole thing is a mess on me. Im disappointed it doesn't work as I want to love Want. I do adore the wacky billiard ball lid. The thick gold band that wraps around the bottle with the named stamped into it is great. The whole bottle is weighty and substantial which I like. The longevity is quite poor, doesnt linger more than 2 hours tops. I wish I had ordered the Ginger one particularly as its very hard to come by now.

Purchased a bottle of this as it has been compared to a few of my favourites (blind buy for a relatively cheap price). This has me really confused..... I love the vanilla and I love the soapy, clean smell but both of them together in one bottle? I'm wearing it now and I didn't want to scrub it off, which is a good thing, but I need to test it a few more times before I make my mind up. Will update.

Someone noted that Wanted smells like a combination of a vanilla gourmand and soap powder and I agree. Good performance in this bottle if the scent floats your boat. And if you are looking for a plastic golf ball, the cap on this bottle might work. I don’t hate this scent but it’s not a love either. Dry down does get smoother but most scents do. Underwhelmed, a pass.

Don't buy this for ridiculous amounts just because it's discontinued, got a sample and it smells exactly like Yves Rocher's Cuir de Nuit. 1 to 1. Furthermore, it smells a lot like Amika haircare products, so if you have those available where you're at, buy them and your hair will smell for days.

This settled into a lovely rose-vanilla fragrance with subtle spice. I like rose. I like vanilla. But I don’t like them combined. I can see why others do, though. If you like floral vanillas, you may really like this! Edit: The more this dried, the more I liked it!

Beautiful perfume! I am not a huge fan of vanilla, but this one really impressed me. Sweet, spicy and powdery vanilla, smells expensive for its price. I am disappointed that designer brands don't release such perfumes anymore.

I'm so confused and disappointed. Out of every note listed here, the only thing my skin is pulling when I wear this is rose. A heavy, powdery, headache-inducing rose. No ginger, no citrus, no boozy, cozy vanilla, though it does soften after the first half hour. Somewhere underneath, I can sense a whisper of Kenzo Amour, as other reviewers have mentioned - I do love Amour and have a bottle in my collection I have enjoyed for years. This doesn't perform on my skin the way Amour does. I was so sure this was going to be a slam dunk and I've never been more glad I chose the sample vial over a full bottle blind buy.

Started off with a combination of baby powder, cotton candy, and caramel. Very gourmand. Unfortunately on my skin, it starts having an underlying "play dough" kind of smell after only a few minutes. Not awful, but not exactly something I want to smell in a perfume. I didn't wash it off and waited, but by the time it finally faded, it still smelled like play dough. Disappointing :(
