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.

Lovely. Did I also mention, lovely? It is always a good sign that after a sample ends I just got another sample. This scent is so unassuming, but in a good way. It's understated, but still alluring. Sweet florals, powdery a tad bit and there is just that something extra specialness that I want to smell more. A vanilla and tonka bean heavy fragrance that is actually smelling like one. In my view this is full bottle worthy. For people comparing this to Daisy Love, and Libre (which are very different offerings to start with) I'm not sure we are smelling the same things! ;0)

This is such an easy grab for sexy summer evening! Opens with modern (some might say "generic") white flowers that are blended smoothly with sparkly mandarin on top and dries down into Hypnotic Poison with non-indolic jasmine mix. Does really have a luxury roundness that Libre lacks and I also find it younger than Libre. No, this is not Tauer or Xerjoff or Lutens unequaled fragrance, but I just love Ex Nihilo for their comfortable wearability and massive longevity. I bought 100 ml without a second thought because I can wear Vesper Glitz anytime and anywhere.

truly beautiful. for me, same use case as something like musk therapy. though it does lean feminine, i love this for myself. it's like a clean soft shirt if it was turned into a fragrance, like musk therapy, but done differently. hard to describe, but it's a win for me. edit: i don't know why i compared it so much to musk therapy, it's really different. Vanilla floral is what i get, and if someone was clean, put together, and willing to wear a more feminine unisex fragrance, this would be what they're wearing. Fall time fragrance 100%.

Finally my search for a mimosa and yellow floral scent lead me to Vesper Glitz and I couldn’t be happier. Opens a bit strong but quickly melts into a sweet happy mimosa and vanilla with powdery but somehow also creamy undertones. It reminds me of pure sunshine, sipping champagne and carefree days under a sun hat. It’s not a trashy summer scent at all - it’s classy yet spritely, buoyant, leans youthful. It’s my summer scent and I can’t wait to wear it as the weather turns up.

Vanilla with yellow & white flowers. My sweater smells like sugar cookies the next day where I sprayed it. The scent seems to evolve, sometimes more floral other times more vanilla. Overall it's warm, sunshine-y, and ever so slightly soapy in the opening. It's a familiar scent, but definitely the best version of its kind. I just wish it projected more, especially for the price. I can never seem to smell Ex Nihilo scents on me unless I put my wrist to my nose. :(

A sunny, yellow floral - powdery mimosa, and yes, a little shampoo-like. I’m cautious of florals though this has a touch of sweet vanilla to ground it, but not enough to be considered gourmand. I find it flirty, playful, and feminine - the perfect fragrance for spring days and sun dresses or even summer cocktails and a girls’ night out. She’s fancy, but not formal. The price is astronomical, but if I find a good deal, best believe I’ll be snatching up a bottle.

Why is this voted so similar to YSL Libre? They have a similarities but they are not the same at all. This just feels more special. I like Libre don’t get me wrong but this has a big edge on it. Vesper Glitz is sparkling yellow florals, sweet neroli. Reminds me of a well dressed, beautiful French woman

Wow, this is gorgeous. I get a whole lot of tropical yellow flowers and it's just beautiful and almost beachy but also very classy. I seem to like Ex Nihilo fragrances, they work well on my skin. Sadly they are also quite pricey. That said, I'll probably pick up a bottle of this closer to summer time

One of my favorite perfume maybe ever! So well done, it’s long lasting, feminine and elegant. I would describe it as a sweet and powdery floral without being too overpowering or overwhelming smell. You can picture a beautiful and sweet lady in a very feminine corporate attire walking down the street

Went to Bloomingdale’s today to smell Ex Nihilo’s Lust in Paradise (wasn’t too impressed by it) and the lady at the counter recommended me to smell Vesper Glitz. When I smelled it, I love it. It kinda smells a little bit of a designer fragrance but I am addicted to VG.

Gorgeous transparent white floral on an airy ambery base. Vesper Glitz would be a great signature scent. Very easy to wear and crowd pleasing.

One of the only floral-heavy scents I love to wear. Perfect spring scent for me. Jasmine, wood, ylang ylang. Not cloying or too heavy.

lovely offering from Ex Nehilo' this one is soft feminine and elegant. the ingredients are beautifully blended. I like it very much

Top 1 compliment getter from my collection. This is pure heaven! Full bottle worthy for sure even though it is very expensive.

This is joyful spring. Beautiful, light, mimosa... Love it! 😍
