Divine Issime

This one was a grower on me. After a phase of buying big ticket masterpieces like Guerlain, I became voracious for getting bang for my buck instead (and the more the merrier) Found this by trawling through Amazon cheapie perfume search (though it has doubled in price since I last had it). Funny, I get licorice with this perfume with something else but not sure what. It reminds me of two other licorice perfumes Yohji Homme and Just Jack's Fanta Fab. I like these types of perfumes that have an air of mystery about them. They are often not well know or often worn so it really stands out from the crowd of typical fruit-choulis that are everywhere all the time. Edit: just received a new bottle (Jan 26) and now I can recognise its similarities to Cacharel's LouLou. Quite intense and heavy on initial spray. Dries down to a gorgeously gourmand sugar dusted vanilla cake fragrance until finally it becomes the unmistakable aroma of Vimto! (Which is grape, blackcurrant, raspberry and black carrot) Perfect deceptively complex fragrance for Autumn/Winter that effortlessly punches above its weight.

Surprinsigly good for its price. A creamy, almost gourmand white floral in the same vein as Terracotta by Guerlain. I enjoy wearing it in the summer heat because, although somewhat sweet, it doesn't feel cloying at all. The perfume is not your typical drugstore synthetic-sweet concoction, but a classy, almost luxury-quality smelling scent. Longevity and Sillage are on the discreet side, though.

l was very surprised when I tried it...so rich oriental notes from a cheap one !!! It was very cheap l found it for 7 euro from the shop...and l grab it . from the first spray it was too strong white flowers and oriental vanilla with a great sillage it was fiiling a room!!! From the first spray the first thing comes to my mind was Roberto Cavalli eau de parfum l already have it. this is a good cheap replacement for the people who loves creamy white flowers and oriental vanilla . This perfume has a strong opening with Tonka bean and oriental vanilla and first was difficult to me to understand what white flower was...l hate very very strong tuberose but in this case is well blended with the other notes and after first minutes becomes very creamy ...in my skin Roberto cavalli smell in the same way. The difference between is orange bloosom in Cavalli and the tuberose here...but l think Tonka bean and oriental vanilla are so dominant in both to make them seems similar ...and both are spicy ( not mentioned here ...but is spicy) and creamy dry down in both of them . This one is long lasting too for a couple of hours and noticeable from the others around . Good choice for evening especially for young girls who like Cavalli and l think is in same vibe of Elie Saab too...

It's a beautiful sweety-earthy scent! I can smell a tuberose, vanilla, tonka beans and patchouli. It's very similar to Roberto Cavalli. And the quality is very high. Longevity and sillage is very good, I can smell it almost all day long. The bottle is gorgeous, like a real bag with a handle. I really like this style. Good work of Ulric De Varens!

This might be my favorite perfume scent. After a while, you can still notice it when you bring your nose close to the spot where you applied it, but it becomes harder to smell if you don’t get close. Maybe it’s because I don’t spray much, I’m not sure. Still, I absolutely love the scent.

People comparing this to LouLou made me buy it and let me say, I love it! I find it hard to describe but it’s so inexpensive it’s worth a buy. It’s a powerhouse with insane longevity. Lasts on clothes for days.

Smells more expensive then it is! A powdery, sweet tuberose scent with a background of vanilla, tonka. Definitely not a bubblegummy tuberose like in Fracas. No, it's very powdery and synthetic in here. It's got this vintage quality about it found in scents mentioned by other reviewers below like LouLou by Cacharel, Guerlain's Terracotta, Cavalli...And I have to say this immensely reminds me of Giorgio Beverly Hills late 90's formulation (not 1:1 dupe). The silage is great and can really fill the room, the longevity is around 6 hours on my skin before disappearing. This is not my style of scent, and I prefer bubblegumesque tuberose or as a background note. I wanted to leave an unbiased review anyway since it's not a bad or ''cheapie smelling'' scent by any means (and enjoyed by 95% of the reviewers below!) 100% recommend if you love prominent powdery-sweet tuberose scents

I am not a fan. I smell no vanilla at all even on the dry down. The initial spray is intense and very strong aromatic with no sweetness to my nose at all. The longevity and silage is great especially for the price and layering it with weaker fresher scents does make the scent wearable and long lasting for me. The bottle is not to my taste visually but it is easy to use and manoeuvre. Overall this is a mature but not vintage scent that is well priced for the quality

I bought this based on notes, smells like none of them. One whiff had me closing up the box "to be resold" (if I ever get the gumption.) Now I plan to revisit, perhaps sitting on the shelf awhile will have changed my perception or opinion. Hopefully I'll get the vanilla and patch, and not just an orange flower blast!

as a roberto cavalli lover i did not like this one at all. Its too sweet for my taste to be honest. If you are ok with having way more sweetnes on top of roberto cavalli than its for you

Un perfume para usar de traje o formal, nunca casual! No me hace match usarlo con jeans. El precio es una ganga pero no ofrece mucha complejidad. Tiene su toque moderno, que lo podrías usar con un little black dress, pero a la vez me recuerda a los perfumes de catálogo que mi madre solía comprar... un tanto genérico. En una palabra lo describiría como CUMPLIDOR. Es el “doble de riesgo”, el salvador de tus perfumes caros para ocasiones en que no quieres gastarlos pero debes oler a algo diferente del día cotidiano. Lo usaría para ir a una boda de alguien que no me agrada mucho, para cuando me invitan para ser plus one, o para el día a día de oficina si tengo que vestir formal. La estela de medio metro dura 3 horas, luego solo se siente al acercarse a la piel.

First thing to mention is that the silage and projection are amazing, with a head-aching potency tho (especially in a hot humid weather). It’s a -nothing to hide- type of fragrance, so don’t expect a complex journey, just enjoy the joy it brings to your nose. The combination of tuberose, vanilla, tonka, and patchouli have created the illusion of honey and amber. I smell the orange flower too (not listed). The drydown is predictable: creamy tuberose with a warm oriental background. Given to its low price, Divine Issime is a real deal. In the same vein with Roberto Cavalli and Charlie Gold.

This perfume reminds me of something else but I cannot remember what. Probably Realm for Women. It's a very tamed and faint one with a fruity peachy edge, generic white flowers and a woody-vanillic-powdery drydown. If any tuberose exists here it's lab-made. It's a very classic type of smell only very diluted but with some staying power. Not a cheap stink, not a masterpiece either. 7.90 euro on offer at some drugstores, but I saw no point in buying a perfume that I'm not in love with just for the little price.

I couldn't oversee its resemblance to my old favorite perfume LouLou by Cacharel ... I couldn't agree more with all the previous reviewers also...this is an unsung treasure very well hidden!!! Too good for its price :)

This is my favorite low-cost, drugstore perfume. It's quite mature compared to the other UDV products found at the drugstores here in Germany. I love especially finding the scent on my recently-worn scarves.

I am not in a vanilla moment of my life but this one got me! It is AMAZING! Big, potent, great fragrance! I am in a no buy but this one is coming into my closet in a while!!

This smells just like Roberto Cavalli ! So I have them both and comparing the two. Smells the same this one is a tad lighter but it is still strong

Guerlain l'instant ın aynısı. Üstelik kalıcılığı bir harika. Çantada taşımak için küçük boyu tam bir kurtarıcı

PS There are some notes missing in the pyramid' these notes include pink pepper, jasmin & tuberose.
