Divine

This was my third full bottle purchase from Providence Perfume (following Provanilla and Rose Boheme). This is a classy perfume. Like something you would wear to attend a graduation or a wedding. I've been known to wear it outside of those events, of course, but it's able to compete with a nice outfit and not feel like it dogs it down. (Note on that: it's a dark juice and it *does* stain the skin a shade of orange, so be careful with your clothes!) I wore this today and am on hour 7 and can still smell it, though it's become a skin scent. For the first 4 hours it had about 8 inches of projection and there was a trail behind it. I could smell it now and again while I was cleaning and it brought a smile to my face each time. I like this in any season but it's best in summer/fall. Summer for the citrusy aspects and fall for the amber and vanilla. I had a comment on it last fall, my mom thought it smelled like apple crisp. I think this is worth a sniff for anyone looking for a neroli or amber fragrance. In my opinion, it skews feminine but of course individual tastes differ. There's a vintage flair to this that makes this stand out from all of the other neroli/orange blossom fragrances I've tried.

I found this perfume while on vacation visiting a friend in RI several years ago. I love that she created this for a friend who always wears red lipstick because I love rocking a classic vintage style and I have about 10 varying shades of red lipstick. When I first smelled this I thought, "It's my pearls, stockings, lipstick, and heels in a bottle!!!" I could be naked, spray this, and feel I'm fully dressed, makeup on, and hair done. I'm still madly in love with this fragrance; however, it's very rare that I wear it as it turns super intense and concentrated on me. One small dab of the roller lasts me through showers and until the next day. It would be my main perfume if it settled a little more gently on me. Also, the orange blossom reminds me of Ibiza in May- another glorious vacation. This perfume locks in so many good feelings and memories for me so I keep it and smell it rather than wear it. I'm now wondering if I should try making a body powder out of this....

I deleted my review because it was so rambling. I got a FB of Divine for Christmas and I am so glad I have this in my collection. It is a real stunner of a spicy, musky, sweet vanilla orange blossom and jasmine grandflora fragrance with lots of vintage oakmoss. Opens with a bright sharp orange peel, a dry spice and lots of oakmoss but it settles quickly. Then it becomes a beautiful orange blossom,jasmine with neroli, lots of warm vanilla amber and musk. It has beast mode sillage and longevity. Very warm, sensual. It is one of my favorite fragrances in my collection. I could wear this everyday for a month and not tire if it. If you love really wonderful all natural fragrances you need to check Providence perfume company out. Womanly, sensual, warm and inviting. Very come hither. And I've tested the above JPG Classique flanker and Divine smells nothing like that pile of trash. An insult to suggest it.

This my first time trying anything from Providence and I'm quite happy with my purchase. Divine is a wonderfully comforting fragrance that gives you the feeling of being fireside and wrapped up in a cozy blanket. It's a warm, spicy, musky orange floral. Very well done.

Providence Perfume Company makes some of my favorite scents. Period. Not just favorite natural scents. Divine shows that there is still something new to be done with the classic notes used for hundreds of years of perfumery. Divine is a complex floral oriental fragrance with a warm and natural musk-y vibe as well. I can smell the earthy ambrette throughout the scent's evolution. It goes on a bit sour due to citrus, and the strong floral heart notes don't linger as long as expected. The fragrance cuts to the chase with the warm, sexy base appearing about two hours in, and lasting throughout the day. Amber and vanilla lend a sweet oriental touch to the ambrette and angelica, both of which have remarkable animalic overtones for a vegetable musk. (If you're interested in exploring the botanical musk scents, I do recommend Divine as a good starting point.) Divine's sillage is heavy for the first hour or two, but the scent settles into a warm and pleasant intimacy that is still going strong nearly ten hours after application. It's not necessarily inappropriate for the office, but wearing it somewhere that wouldn't let you fully relax into its warm and sexy vibe seems a bit of a waste. I'll save this one for cozy moments at home with my hubby. Thank you to Providence Perfume for providing the sample.
