Regime des Fleurs is probably one of my favorite houses ever, they are so imaginative and really all of their creations are divine.

As I understand it the creator Alia is not really into vanillas or gourmands for the same reasons I am. I have a really hard time with these fragrances, as often they're too sweet and too sugary, which I understand is a lot of the attraction, but sometimes I want to smell sweet, but without suffocating myself.

Green Vanille is the perfect vanilla for people who are not into sugary sweet fragrances. I will say that if you are expecting a straightforward fragrance that highlights vanilla this probably isn't for you and if you hate herbal or medicinal scents also probably not for you. Green Vanille is really a chamomile fragrance to me, it's sweet, slightly earthy, floral and herbaceous. The almond milk and hazelnut give it a little creaminess and a little nutty oomf, but by no means does it smell like either specifically. Benzoin and woods make it sweet and dry, but not sugary. Of course there is vanilla in this, but its so masterfully blended into a smooth herbal remedy, its really calming, while still being a flattering intriguing scent.

I definitely wouldn't wear it in the summer because I think it's still sweet and creamy enough to be a little much in the hottest months of the year, but Fall/Winter/Spring I wear this all the time.

This fragrance is so interesting to me and I'm definitely in love.

Fist I just want to say that fragrance is art and obviously not everyone is going to love something. I can see how this would be a contentious fragrance, it has a fuzzy, musky smell underneath the herbal green notes and fresh vanilla cake. This fragrance and generally all of the things I've smelled from d. grayi are extremely unique and really embody how fragrance can be an art form. It truly is feat of creative genius. Moving on.

I personally am not a fan of animalic notes, they really really turn me off of fragrance. Generally they really smell a little bit fecal or like body odor lol. The civettone in Low Carb Cat however, is not stinky and it does not really give off a distinct small mammal odor? It's cozy, musky, and fuzzy, like a sherpa blanket or jacket, if that makes any sense. If you are roommates with a cat (lol), you'll understand that smell in the softest fur of their bellies if what this kind of gives off, and I'm not really sure how they did it!

Lastly the stars of this show are probably the herbal notes and the vanilla cake. The civettone or "cat" base really give a solid foundation for these notes to shine. The catnip is probably the most prominent herbal notes here and its really elevated by the subtle green and floral qualities of this perfume. I believe the shiso is what is lending a more sharp aromatic note while the bergamot tames the sweetness of the baked goods with its lovely bitterness. The vanilla cake is so lovely, its like a fluffy vanilla bundt cake with vanilla frosting and theres a very soft floral note that compliments it so well.

This truly is like a little cat baking a cake and drinking some catnip tea! I'm really impressed with this, as an artistic endeavor and as a fragrance.

This is overall a really pretty scent. I received it as a sample with my last order and I do really like it.
I think as summer approaches this was a really smart creation; it is a humid and heavy tropical scent in that it is sticky sweet, a little spicy, and a little sour/bitter form the citrus. I will say that it does have that classic Phlur muskiness to it, which I do like (I am a Missing Person hater, so this is

I don't really know if I've ever smelled anything similar, I think if you've smelled Pavlova by Parfums de Nicolai, it has that same sticky juicy sweetness from the fruit, this is just deeper instead of a fluffy vanilla base. It has a really pretty almost syrupy orange note, but not orange floral, like sticky juice from a very rip orange in the height of summer.

The only issue for me is that i really dislike the gold bottle lol, but that is a totally personal creative choice on my part!

Vanilla Haze is what I imagined Heavy Cream by Phlur would smell like. It's a beautiful citrusy-vanilla cream fragrance, a little sugary and a little nutty. Heavy Cream really soured on my skin, but Vanilla Haze still remains a really beautiful cozy vanillic scent while still staying true to the mandarin and sugary floral notes. Very happy with this!

I wear this all the time, I really can't get enough of this perfume. For me, this is perfect; I have always loved rose as a note in perfume and I think this is a really genius rendition of a vintage rose perfume. It is aldehydic, powdery, and has those very soft almost dried floral notes. Very grandma-ey, but in a good way.

I usually steer clear of animalic notes, but I don't find this animalic at all really, its very subtle in a cozier way than in an outright mammal way, more like a rich lady's fur coat than sniffing a small rodent.

Overall I think this is a beautiful, airy rose/floral perfume. I love how powdery and cozy it is, and I think it would be lovely any time of the year. I would say if you do not like aldehydes or powdery notes in perfume, this is definitely not for you.
