Vibrant Scent

Nobody? Not one person has reviewed this yet and that just about sums up this brand and this scent for me. Oh there's nothing wrong with the smell of it. I fell head over heels for this fragrance it's superb, The problem is that these are victims of absurd packaging and marketing. The perfumers they have on board are very competent and some of the ideas are really great, they all feel a little safe or not very artisan or indy, more like designer crowd pleasers (not true of ALL of course) and that's very much what Vibrant scent is. Let's start with the name...I mean come on? it's a bit lack lustre isn't it? But it's a scent and it's vibrant so no one could accuse them of false advertising and I guess I'm the asshole here? The opening is a pink pepper and smoothed out nutmeg/cardamom to my nose and it's heavenly I mean really special stuff, but wearable and accessible. There's generally a synthetic feel to Vibrant scent I'd say, but in a good way. If this was a designer fragrance even a higher priced but still 'designer' Tom Ford I'd march to the counter with it but it's not. Some odd brand that look like Montale bottles if they were cast in a Marvel franchise (Quoting myself from previous reviews again....I'm such a dick!) and this is partly what I think alienates me. Still maybe this will be marked down one day and I'll be able to pick it up cheap online, this brand has that feeling it won't be long before that happens. The base is a kind of cuddly cosy sandlewood creamy orris and casherean which I adore and I think that's what gives the nutmegish vibes in the opening. I'm actually in love with this fragrance but it's too exensive or I would've bough it, also performance isn't exactly brilliant but I can forgive it because wearing it was a very pleasurable experience. Reminds me of the style of 90's/2000's designer men's stuff like By D&G, Gucci Envy and Rush. All sadly discontinued. I want to like the brand and I'm really not one to complain all that much about money, I mean if you love it you can find the money but with so many other things vying for my affections this does get bumped down the list. Please try it though because if you like stuff I like this is a peach of a fragrance.

From the start it smells like fresh spices (cardamom and pepper) mixed with beautiful freshly chopped wood chips scent: sandalwood and cedar wood. It’s fresh, aromatic and wood. It might seem slightly masculine, but still very pleasant for every gender, I think. Lovely! Follow me on IG: scent.guide

Lovely clean musk. Pink pepper is very noticeable and enjoyable. However, I do find it leans very feminine so I can’t see myself wearing it much.

I am very glad to have it in my collection. This is the best creamy orris, musky perfume out of all I’ve tried so far! It is very soft and modern with the nice blend of freshness and softness of powder. It is not similar to Prada Infusion d'Iris or anything else I’ve tried - to me it is much better and more wearable. Better suited for warmer weather and leans feminine. Projection is very good - it stays with me for 8+ hours and everyone notices it. I receive many compliments when I wear it.
