Vesper Glitz

What a fluffy cloud of comfort and velvety vanilla. Its opening is lightly fresh and mildly citrusy, tiny bit green, sunny and soft almost shy representation of florals- nowhere you will smell a pungent neroli note. I’d say it’s a masterfully mixed soft not-sweet vanilla, notes of mimosa mixed with a body-cream scent and sprinkled with stardust and modernity. How unusual to see this creation from Ex-Nihilo, which usually starts from a strong statement that no one dares to disagree with. This scent is almost asking for a permission to be on your skin - definitely spring- summer floral, the one that makes you smile. A crowd pleaser : if you are looking for a statement signature - it is NOT the one, but if I am looking for a pleasurable non invasive and non disturbing aura - that’s the one. It’s dry-down is a bit on a generic side , as if you used Lancôme or Dior Joy, certainly not unpleasant. Perfume for every day. I would love to see how it develops outside in the open air. Will write about it later. 2 days later: It suddenly daunted on me: (Dior Hypnotic Poison) minus (Bitter Almond) minus (Liquorice)= VG!!

Bought this on impulse a few weeks ago after smelling in Saks and absolutely loving it. Then while it was delayed in the mail for a few weeks, I came here to Fragrantica hoping the reviews would provide some satisfaction and a reminder why I love it at first smell. I finally received Vesper Glitz and am reminded why I can’t trust Fragrantica reviews! This perfume is just gorgeous!! Warm, delicate, and balanced. I would not have described myself as a neroli, or a ylang ylang fan before, but in this fragrance paired with the citrus and Jasmine it just gives the fragrance a bright, solar feeling. Paired with the nuttiness of the tonka, I just want to keep smelling this! I do see similarities to Libre, but more so the EDT. Vesper Glitz has none of the screechiness or syrupiness that Libre has. I also find it similar in feeling to Rolling in Love. If you love that warm, nutty floral feeling from Rolling in Love, you will also adore this.

This smells like sparkling sunshine in a field of yellow wildflowers- light and wispy. This is the smell of Julie Andrews twirling and singing ‘The hills are alive with the sound of music!’ It’s hard to pick the notes apart, everything is blended exquisitely. Ylang can often be thick and heavy. But, paired with pollen like mimosa here makes it feel lighter than air. A cool, lightly powdery vanilla dry down. I don’t find this to be similar to Libre at all. This is completely unique. I would consider this a masterpiece fragrance because of how the ylang and mimosa are used. While I feel this wears on the lighter side, I do receive compliments from arms length away. So it must create a bit of a bubble.

Very feminine, special and elegant. A sparkling beauty! It is quite fresh, kind of sweet floral, but it has something ethereal to it. I know it may seem like a standard designer floral, like somebody mentioned, from 2000s. But it is so much better and so much more than that. Performance is amazing. And it is addicting for anyone who gets to smell it. Seems thaf or is nicer to smell it on someone/your clothes rather than to wear it. Hard to compare it to something, but the quality and elegance are giving me Luis Vuitton vibes. Also, from my description it may seem like more suited for an older lady, but that is not true, it is great even for a very young woman.

Its truly a sparkly, fresh-ish yellow floral scent, with a hint of white flowers to fill the bouquet that sits atop some faint masculine touches of cedar wood. Its not a bright scent by all means, it’s not ‘vavavoom’ fresh. The pink pepper gives it a hint of spice and everything nice, but it is not overwhelmingly present. It adds a certain layer that elevates this from a floral bouquet to something more exciting, something warm and inviting. There is nothing offensive or overbearing about this scent, very office friendly too. Its signature safe in all of the seasons in my opinion, but it leans summer/spring.
