Dahlia & Vines

Dahlia and Vines! Such a gorgeous scent! After trying it at Sephora one day,I knew I had to have it. To me, this instantly takes me to a garden full of flowers, in a slightly cold evening and just after it rained. I can smell the green vines and the flowers which to me they seem just wet by the rain, I've never smelt peonies before, but I know how roses smell and I am not picking up a rose scent at all. All I can smell in this is a very pretty floral, which I guess is the peony, green notes and fruits! I can see where some of you are coming from when you say it seems mature, it does have a grown up, or Elegant vibe to it which might make it feel like it's for mature women,I guess its the musk which is quite noticeable in the fragrance, but I don't mind it at all! It is so beautiful, elegant but still young,and romantic! I just turned 30 so I still consider my self pretty young, but grown up and more as a Women than a girly girl. This might be suitable for women from mid 20's to 30's and up. It is quite strong at first, but soon after it gets so beautiful, so lady-like, very floral and green at the same time. A wonderful experience I had with Dahlia and Vines was when I just bought it, I put some behind my ears and on my wrists, and sat on my bed where my 3 year old daughter was, and she comes towards me.. hugs me.. takes a deep breath.. and hugs me again and sniffs my neck and says " Mama,you smell pretty" she then smiles and keeps snugling on me! I felt this one is going to be a staple of mine! I'm going to use it all winter season that's about to come and I feel it's going to turn into one of my most special and significant scents of all time..

This smells like heaven to me. Period. I ordered the sample originally from scentbird, but knew from reading about it that I would be in love and I am. I now own the sample, a 1.7, a 3.4, and a .17 (got lucky, lucky at a couple ebay auctions). It's definitely floral so all those who shy away from that kind of scent won't like it, but to me it's intoxicating. I get strong peony and that's a great love of mine. The grape they added is sooo unique that it sets it apart from all other florals of this kind. I highly recommend this. Try it through scentbird if you're shy about it and then search ebay a bit for deals otherwise it's a bit pricey.

This is a lovely floral clean and pretty scent. I love it for spring and summer months as well as an after shower and slipping into my pjs. It's very girly and pretty. It does not last that long so I have to have a travel size in my bag to reapply for me it last about 3-4 hrs. I prefer scents that last 5-6hrs but this is such a beautiful scent I don't mind reapplying.

this smells soooo good and lasts great. perfect pink florals. although it is not worth the extremely high price!! many celebrity perfumers make good floral fragrances for a fraction of the price. if you have the money, i would definitely get this. its a great perfume. BUT if you are on a budget i would not splurge on this! just nothing special and not worth it to me

This is such a beautiful floral, green, airy scent. It's a go-to in the spring and summer, especially on very humid days. I gives clean, airy garden and is such an easy wear in professional environments. Not one that will make people cozy up to you, but when you want to feel confident and clean in sweaty weather, this is perfect.

I really like this fragrance. Amidst the many bright floral fragrances that are "in" right now, Dahlia & Vines really stands out. Sweet without being cloying, bright without suffocating, Dahlia & Vines is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a unique daytime fragrance to add to their collection.

This one reminds me of passing by a garden on a balmy summer evening. It's dark, floral, fresh, and dreamy. I'm not a huge fan of florals, I normally find them overwhelming, but this one feels lovely. Definitely a great evening sent, especially on a humid summer evening or after a light summer rain.

This is my favorite nest scent. It's sweet and powdery floral. Of course, I understand that everyone has preferences and this might not be for you. But I love, love the powdery and sweetness of this. It is long lasting and simple. The musk does not give me a headache at all, as many brands do.

This is a lovely blend... the peony and rose are well-balanced and held together by a subtle fresh green note which must be the narcissus. The musk supports the florals and keeps them from becoming too bright. This works well as a casual evening scent and is quite long lasting. Beautiful.

Perfect summer floral. During the summer, I prefer light, flowery scents like Eau d' Chloe and Be Delicious or clean fragrances like Oxygene. Ever a fan of Nest, I think Dahlias and Vines will be a warm weather scent I keep around. It may come across as a little mature to some.

I just picked this out for my birthday. I just get so tired of the deep, dark, and overly dramatic perfumes. Dahlia and vines is a light carefree beautiful springtime rose perfume. I'm going to enjoy wearing this with my new pale yellow Kate spade purse!

Floral cacophany, with hints of sweetness. I like this scent very much, It's like diving headfirst into an oversized bed chockfull of roses and peonies at the peak of their bloom. Very girly but not girlish, if that makes sense.

I have this in my collection and It is one of my favorites. I think it is discontinued though, because it is not on the Nest website anymore, last I looked. But I do love it, it is pretty and light to me, not overbearing.

What a lovely floral, different than anything I've had. Thoughtfully crafted too. No patchouli bomb or no overdone vanilla, just sweet Not too sweet and tangy? Fresh and very feminine, lots of fresh flowers. Love it!

Funny with all the grape smelling perfumes out right now (black opium, missoni, etc..), this one doesnt have a hint of grape at all. This is definitely one of the most beautiful perfumes I've ever smelled

Perfect for Spring. On my skin it pulls very sweet rose as opposed to green that some are mentioning. To me, it teeters on a gourmand. I still enjoy it and think it's a lovely scent.

I love this. It reminds me of Derek Lam's hi-fi, except softer. This is a real winner for me, and is even prospecting for signature spring. It's competition is sky di gioia

I was looking for a nice fragrance with Narcissus and I came across this one, so I blind bought a small bottle. Now I’m not sure how I feel about it. I definitely don’t hate it, but I’m not sure whether I love it or not. My initial reaction right after the first sniff was: “this is great, why didn’t I get a larger bottle?” But that feeling faded away after an hour or so. In fact, Dahlia & Vines opens up fresh floral and musky (I kinda wanna say fruity, but that’s not quite it, the grape is there, but very well blended). I can detect the narcissus and a quieter mix of peonies and roses. It’s very pleasant. Then, after some time, this fragrance just transforms into the most generic feminine rosey-floral-musky scent on my skin. I feel like the dry down is something I smelled in hundreds of other fragrances marketed towards women. And I guess that’s my problem with rose notes. I feel like often times, rose doesn’t give other floral notes the chance to shine. I prefer my fragrances to either be totally about rose or not have rose at all. But I guess maybe that’s what my skin does to fragrances. On clothes, this fragrance stays interesting for a longer time. Final verdict: This is a safe blind buy if you enjoy feminine florals. It is also a veryyyy safe gift. There’s nothing to dislike, the bottle is pretty, the juice smells nice. Just keep in mind that it’s not a super unique scent.

I am wearing this today after putting on rose scented lotion after my shower, thinking it will extend the scent but dammit, it's all but gone! There is a lingering lovely fragrance but not enough for me to enjoy it on myself. I have had it on for no more than 2 hours! I'm soooo glad this was a sample from Sephora to try before I buy, otherwise I would be pissed right about now! I like rose in it as rose is fav of mine, but there IS something a little different in there that is nice too. I see other reviewers mention peony and since I LOVE Jo Malone's Peony Blush and Suede, that must be what is different and while I like it, I cannot honestly say I am getting a full first impression because it's practically GONE! I hope it's just that I have gotten used to the scent and it's still here. My goal is not to wear a scent for others but to wear it as an expression of my mood and state of mind. So, I'm okay with others needing to really be in my personal space to catch a whiff, but I want to actually enjoy it too. I may try it again as the sample was pretty generous so we shall see.

There are roses here, and grape juice. And peony. I know that sounds horrible, but it's not. It's finely tuned and well designed. It's very intriguing. Soft, rosy – but young and fresh. It is sweet, this is a sweet perfume (not sweet like “candy” but it is sweet.) And alcoholic – as if you'd gone to a fancy party wearing rose perfume and accidentally spilled wine on yourself. Like all Nest scents, this is unique. And weird. Whether you want a bit of strange in your perfume is up to you, but you will be unique and be wearing something that probably no one else in the room is wearing. They seemed to have covered all bases: a rose scent, a patchouli scent, a citrus scent, etc. I still have to complete my journey through this line but I am enjoying myself so far. SECOND TRIAL: Actually this is very pleasant. I'm pleased. This really does smell like a mix of red wine and roses. The grape drydown, however, which appears after about two hours, is unpleasant and plastic-smelling. That is why this is not full-bottle worthy.
