Cool Herbs Unisex Vanilla
Virgile is the third fragrance of the Vannille series by Sylviane Delacourte, which I would like to describe here.
It starts off brash, fresh, very citrusy and smells strongly of tangerine zest and bergamot at the beginning. After a few minutes, a peppery cedar comes through along with vanilla and sage until it warms up a bit and ends in a slightly cooler herbal vanilla. I rate the sillage as rather subtle and pleasant. Only the durability could be better.
Overall, I find the fragrance very refreshing and definitely unisex, suitable for rather warmer days. He is neither too tart for ladies nor too sugary for men.
What amazes and delights me is that you can really sniff out every single ingredient in this fragrance. Like a flower that opens slowly, pushes itself with the time always a new note through and the fragrance turns into the vanillige.
Vanilla forms the final chord in all fragrances of this series even if it does not always play the main role from the beginning. SD interweaves the vanilla again and again with seemingly opposing notes and creates so small works of art.
I find that the vanilla series of SD is great perfumery art. Not any slapped together Wässerchen made on expensive, but a really thought-out concept and composed with love, dedication and passion. To discover something like this is a real pleasure
