Floranilla

Ooh, on opening I'm smelling... Dior Homme Intense with a healthy dose of added vanilla. Soft powdery, floral iris with a vanillic flair. Even has a touch of orange, which pushes it into Code Absolu Gold territory. But quickly revealing itself is a sweet, uplifting violet and bright, almondy heliotrope while the powderiness kinda thickens up to form a dense scent cloud. A fluffy purple floral bomb, with the balsamic-spicy undertone of myrrh. It's the sweet violet and warm myrrh that shine most as it dries down. Moderate initial projection fades over 2-3hr, catching faint whiffs through 4-5hr, longevity 6-8hr. As a self-professed iris s---, I'm a big fan. I usually hate violet too but it works for me here.

This is better than Dama Bianca....dont kill me But hear me out. Bianca would’ve been my darling had she one had any performance and was not destroyed by that kumquat note. I find the tangerine in Florvanille much more harmonious with the violet. I also get a lot of longevity..lasting thru the whole day. Plus I get a lot more of the vanillic sweetness here than with Bianca. Which is what I was hoping for. Better performance, harmonious blending, and a fraction of the price? Absolutely

One of my favorite samples ever. I’ve repurchased decants of this multiple times and always use every drop...I can’t remember why I haven’t bought a full size. (In my mind, I remembered it being more expensive than it is?) But the current price is in my range, so I’m about to buy a full-size. It’s floral-forward, but the vanilla keeps it feeling balanced and not grandma-ish. And then there’s a spicy note under everything else. It’s addictive. I love it so much.

The vanilla and violet are equals here. It’s a sweet and bright violet note, with vanilla to soften. I have Dama Bianca and to me this is sweeter, less powdery. It’s not the same strength of violet power as Insolence, although I love that too. I received this recently and I am keen to wear it throughout summer. I love it.

Sweet violet and vanilla with a spritz of citrusy tangerine. Lovely feminine powdery dry down. Before I tried my sample, I got a tiny bit on my finger from the cap and fell in love instantly. This is a beautiful floral vanilla fragrance. Definitely worth a full bottle.
